Whenever I visit New York I stay at my friends 1 bedroom apartment in the Village. I always have a cleaning service come in the day I'm leaving to restore the place to it's former beauty ( He's a decorator and I am a bit of a slob ) . Who cleans when they are on vacation right?
I've been doing this for years- and I think I have probably tried every cleaning service in New York with mixed miserable results.
I finally found Great Green Cleaning - there was a card in the building and one of the neighbors said he uses them weekly- so I liked that I had a personal recommendation. You can see I'm new on Yelp -and I don't bother writing reviews, but Great Green Cleaning was FANTABULOUS - I had to write about them.
Of course I called last minute because I wasn't sure what day I was leaving - no problem - they get me someone for the next morning. The man on the phone was cool and smart - set me up for a basic 4 hour cleaning- that's all I needed. They were $10 cheaper than the last service I used - so good price, plus they were giving a free hour of cleaning to the neighbor that recommended me, NICE!. AND they were going to bring everything so I didn't have to go to the store and make sure my friend ( who never has any cleaning supplies ) has cleaning supplies.
The woman arrives exactly on time, and very friendly - shows me her ID - gives me a big smile - introduces herself -
I think that just being on time may have been a first as most of the other cleaning services gave me an arrival window - so I had to wait an hour to get a cleaning NO THANKS. This lady was like ZENA the Warrior Princess of cleaning ( but she was short like less than 5 feet ) She lays out all her gear like this is a tactical mission and goes to work. I went out for brunch and came back like 3 hrs later- the place was shinning. She even organized my personal mess! This blew me away. For the last hour ( since I was paying for 4 hours) She washed the windows in the living room. I didn't even know he had a view- they were filthy. This experience was so much better than the others - no comparison. I will only use Great Green Cleaning when I need Maid Service. I totally recommend these guys- they knocked the ball right out of the park.
