Moving house clean was perfect
Caitlin and Lisa did a great job helping with a moving house clean. House is sparkling ready for the next people. Great service, efficient cleaning to a high standard and really friendly. Everything from booking in to the actual clean has been really professional and easy. Would recommend.

Great ongoing service
After an initial deep clean I now have Penny and Ang on a monthly basis. They get on while I'm working and do a good job leaving me just to a daily tidy round

Shelby is the best!
I love Merry Maids. We have been with Merry Maids for over a year and we have Shelby as our housekeeper. Shelby is the best housekeeper. She makes sure that every inch of my condo is spotless and we love her. She is even a good friend to our little dachshund while she cleans who can be a little annoying, but Shelby has patience. We couldn't have asked for a better company or better housekeeper. Thank you.

Three years of excellent service
I've been using Merry Maids for three years now, with biweekly visits. They vacuum all the floors, dust surfaces, mop, clean the bathrooms, and take care of other general light cleaning. With two adults and three dogs in our household, their help in managing dust and pet hair is invaluable. The team is always punctual, professional, and thorough. They're also very responsive to feedback or special requests. I'm very happy with their service.

Great first experience
Today I had Merry Maids for the first time. The cleaners were Amber & Trinity - they did a great job and will definitely keep them coming every other week! Love the fresh orange smell of the floor cleaner!
