I had Molly Maid to clean my kitchen & 2 bathrooms that (I'm embarrassed to admit) were absolutely filthy! The 2 person team was here for about 2 hours. When they left, the rooms were bright & spotless, cleaner than I expected. They were thorough, efficient, and quiet. I've had other groups in to clean in the past…

The three ladies worked really hard to clean my nephews house for a move-out clean. It was a big job, large house, and it was very dirty when I first called y Maids. Took 4 and 1/2 hours. They made it sparkle. Very well done! Thank you!

I had Molly Maid to clean my kitchen & 2 bathrooms that (I'm embarrassed to admit) were absolutely filthy! The 2 person team was here for about 2 hours. When they left, the rooms were bright & spotless, cleaner than I expected. They were thorough, efficient, and quiet. I've had other groups in to clean in the past that, while effective, are very noisy & distruptive. I'll certainly have Molly Maid back on a regular basis. The most important thing is that, being retired, my husband was home and while he objected to maid services in the past, was fine with this company. Success!!
