I had Team #2 (Suzy, Yoly and Angy) deep clean one of my rental properties in Monmouth. They did an incredible job. The house was quite dirty and not had a deep clean in three years. The team was detail oriented, getting into all the small and unseen areas, and even removed cob webs from 20 foot high ceilings. They did all of this in an afternoon where it was 100 degrees without air conditioning! I could not recommend them enough. They were excellent!

Team 3 came today very friendly. They got the job done fast and my bathrooms and kitchen were clean for the weekend. I really like all of the ones who have come they are very quick and always do a great job!

Great job, Team #3! Vero, Juanita and Brenda were quick and thorough. We are new customers and are very satisfied so far.

I want to give a great shout-out to The Maids. My husband had surgery about a month ago, and it has been very hard to keep up with housework. I am so happy that I asked these wonderful people for help. It has changed my life. Team #3, Mary, Veronica, and Blanca, came in and cleaned to a sparkling shine. I am very thankful for their friendly, attentive service.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

How much does it cost to clean a house?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Vixie Jones | Feb 19, 2022

There are different parameters that go into an estimate. We have over 1,000 cleans per month, and we charge by the hour but prorate to the minute. Please call the office and we can give you an estimate for your home.

Would you be able to feed pets?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Unfortunately that is not a service we offer.

Are you comfortable cleaning every part of the bathroom?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Absolutely. We teach a top to bottom, left to right section cleaning process to ensure we clean everything in the bathroom.

Are there any parts of the kitchen you are unable to clean?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

No, we’re able to clean everything. If you want behind the fridge or oven we’ll ask you to put them out, and we can clean there. If it’s a move out/in clean we can clean inside cabinets and drawers and will do the same in the bathrooms as well. An oven cleaning is included also depending on the type of cleaning service.

Would you be comfortable cleaning an attic?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

No. Climbing ladders is not covered by worker’s insurance.

Do you have experience cleaning walls or windows?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes. Walls are difficult and time consuming. It’s also a bit dangerous for us to clean. If it’s a dry clean, ie: removing dust post construction, that’s something we can do. If it is simply removing stains, and dirt and such from painted walls, that can be risky. When we apply a cleaning solution to paint, it can possibly dis-color it and will be needed to be painted. It’s also very time consuming. With the cost of cleaning vs painting, I’d suggest to invest into painting.

Do you know how to clean an oven?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes, we clean them all the time. Particularly with a move out/move in clean, or with a project clean. Just ask for it when you book a clean.

Will you clean large appliances inside and out?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

As part of a regular clean, we clean the exterior of all appliances, range and oven, fridge, dishwasher, and the microwave (including the inside).

Do you have any professional experience cleaning clothing?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

No, this is not a service we offer.

Do you do laundry and iron?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

On project cleans we can talk about it. It’s usually something we’ll do only if the customer can’t do it themselves (medical reasons). If we’re there for just 1-2 hours, it doesn’t leave a lot of time to do laundry. Give us a call and let’s chat about and see if we can meet your expectations.

Are you willing to take out the trash?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes. We bring our own trash bags and will empty the trash cans (kitchen, bathrooms, offices, etc). We will put in new bags immediately after, making them ready for use!

When are you available for cleaning, and how often?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Cleaning appointments are scheduled Monday - Friday generally between the hours of 8:00-4:00. We offer project cleans and regular cleans; with the options of weekly, bi-weekly and monthly.

Can we leave dishes in the sink?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes. The Maids will check the dishwasher to see if it’s empty. Sometimes it’s difficult to determine if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty. Leaving dishes in the sink makes it difficult for The Maids to clean the sink, so it’ll take a little longer, and will of course cost some of that kitchen cleaning time to remove dishes and then clean. Best practice is for the customer to leave the sink without any dishes. That allows us to do what we do best, clean!

What are your expectations regarding the condition of the house when you arrive?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

We have to be very efficient with our time in the house. Time = Money. The longer we take, the more we have to charge. Customers are able to help with this by preparing the house properly. Picking up and organizing clutter before we arrive is a huge time saver, and results in a lower price/cost to the customer because we won’t spend time doing that and can get straight to cleaning. However, if you just don’t have the time or the energy, we’ll happily take care of picking up the loose ends, and charging a little bit more.

Are you willing to work while the owners are home?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Absolutely. 30%-40% of our customers are home while we clean. The great thing about The Maids is that we work in teams of three which means we’re in and out quickly. The average clean is about an hour fifteen minutes.

Are you willing to work in a home with a smoker?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes, however we’re required to provide a safe work environment for our employees. That means while The Maids are working in the home, there’s a no in-doors smoking policy. The smoke can wait until we’re done ( usually 1-2 hours), or step outside to smoke.

Do you have any pet allergies?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

We love pets ! But sometimes we have some Maids that have pet allergies. The Maids are equipped with face masks (like the ones doctors wear). They can use these if they think the clean will stir up their allergies.

Are there particular cleaning products that you feel are superior and/or cost efficient?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

We use environmentally safe products from the “Sustainable Earth - By Staples” line. We’re really concerned for our employees who are around these products everyday. Equally concerned for the environment. This line of cleaning products does great for both these concerns.

Are you knowledgeable about the treatment of different countertops (marble, granite,etc.)?

Sally Glove | Aug 18, 2021
Kate Opager | Aug 18, 2021

Yes. We work with laminate, tile, formica, granie, quartz, concrete, copper, wood, and some others I just can’t think of right now. We clean about 1,000 houses a month which means we’re exposed to lots of different types of materials. We use environmentally safe products from the “Sustainable Earth - By Staples” line. With cleaning so many houses, we know that our products and cleaners are getting the job done!

I can't write a review because I don't have a Facebook Or Google or other account and don't want one. I would like to say my Team #3 is excellent in all ways. Please let this count for their Christmas bonus. Cammie Bella, Corvallis, OR

David Bella | Aug 19, 2018
Jon Pippert | Aug 11, 2022

Hi Cammie, Wow... I don't know how this got by me. I'm a firm believer it's never too late to do the right thing. We'll look back to the team that cleaned for you in December and give them some extra $$ for their efforts. We appreciate you and thank you for choosing The Maids for you house cleaning needs. Jon - Owner of The Maids
