House Cleaner Needed — Brooklynian

House Cleaner Needed

edited November -1 in Park Slope
I scheduled a housecleaning with a company and the cleaner never showed last weekend and gave me a lame excuse 2 hours later.

SO, I'm looking for someone to do a super deep cleaning and dust busting of my studio apt in the slope. It would be even better if they brought their own equipment and supplies. Has anyone had good experiences with people they can recommend? Or maybe you have a regular cleaner who's very thorough? I'd like to get this done this weekend if possible. Thanks in advance.

  • Carbs, which company was it, if you don't mind me asking? I've been considering going with either White Glove or The Maids, but I'm having a hard time finding feedback on them.

    I've searched and searched this forum for recommendations on a good housecleaner, as I'd much rather just pay someone directly instead of them making $8/hour with a service. But I've come up pretty empty. It seems like people often ask the question here, but no one ever really has an answer. Either folks haven't found good housecleaners, or they don't want to share the great ones they've got! :P

    If you find anything out elsewhere, let us know!
  • there have been several discussions on this before, I'm sure you can find them via search, though for what it's worth I use white glove and I'm very happy with them. Minimaid, I used once and did not like.
  • I picked up a card for Si Se Puede Women's Cooperative Cleaners
    718 633-4823
    I like their style...but am cleaning my own house every Sunday...
    [love to hear back if anyone uses them]
  • I found an excellent independent cleaner on Craig's List.
  • I really do love my house cleaner. His name is Julian, and his number is 347-232-7932. He is polite, trustworthy, and cleans the hell out of my house! He charges me $80 for a large 2BR apartment. Extra if I ask him to do anything above and beyond the typical cleaning.
  • Femmedada, do you mind sharing their contact info? Or asking them if they're looking for new clients?

    This is the problem I've noticed on this board. Everyone says they've found someone great, but won't say who. Top secret!

    How many hours does he work? Do you know if he's willing to do sporadic cleaning as opposed to a scheduled gig?

    How many hours does he work? Do you know if he's willing to do sporadic cleaning as opposed to a scheduled gig?He only comes to my place once a month or so, sometimes less. I typically call him when I am having guests over. He spends about 4 hours cleaning, and is very efficient. I have about 1000 square feet, and in that time he does the floors, the kitchen (not the inside of the oven or fridge, but you could ask him to) and bath, and dusts everywhere. If there is a particular area you would like him to focus on, just tell him. He is very eager to build up a regular client list, and get new referrals in the neighborhood. Tell him Christine on 5th St told you to call him.
  • Thanks for the info. If I start working again soon, I'm going to treat myself (and my apartment, which is the same size as your place) to a Spring cleaning
  • Quigley,

    I'll check with my cleaning lady and see if she is looking for more clients.

  • Thanks Femme! I appreciate it. And if you find out she is, you can always PM me if you don't want to post her contact info on the board.
