Canada Maid Service

I wish I had seen the reviews before hiring this company to do my cleaning. I bought 5 hrs of cleaning (I have a 2-bedroom condo) + carpet shampooing for my living room. The deal was for some "detailed cleaning". First, I had to re-schedule because the girl who showed up did not have the carpet cleaning machine. Then, on the day they were supposed to come, they were two hours late. Two girls showed up at 2:30 and left at 4:15. Now I know my math skills aren't great but how does this come up to 5 hours + carpet washing? The work was awful! Other than a wet carpet, I couldn't see what else was done when I got back home. Very superficial cleaning and dusting - bad enough that I have to re-do anyway. They washed my patio door and it's worse than it was before. I have to re-do this too. Many places in the living room and the bedroom didn't even get dusted. Nothing in the kitchen was done except a superficial cleaning of the counter top and may be vacuuming of the floor (which of course I have to re-do). And that is my experience with this company. Just to think that i was planning on hiring them on a bi-weekly basis!!! What a scary thought! Beware dealing with this company. You will not get refunded no matter what. Once they have your credit card, you're a nobody to them. They will not even bother to call you if they're going to be two hours late, cause your time isn't important. Their lack of respect for their customers is beyond belief. $400 (that's $350.00 plus tax) for less than two hours of very lousy "cleaning", and disrespect for their customers. This is what you'll get with Canada Maid Service. Do yourself a favor and stay away from them. Hire a lady!
