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…
