Always available when I need them - Dependable and On Time

A couple weeks ago I found out my aunt was going to come for a visit. It had been an especially busy week at work and I didn't have time to clean the house, wash the sheets and make up the beds in the guest room, and get my other errands completed before she arrived. What could have been a very stressful situation turned out to be wonderful - The Other Woman saved the day! They arrived right on time, and were able to handle all of my requests at the last minute. And I had a terrific, stress-free visit with my aunt. Many thanks to the Other Woman for being there when I needed you most!
- Pros: On time, dependable, thorough
- Cons: none!
Great Service!

The Other Woman has been a fantastic help. From doing the laundry to cleaning the house to running errands, they have been a great help. With a house full of kids coming and going it sure makes life that much easier to have responsible and friendly people come and help take care of your home.
The staff are timley, personable and know how to get the job done. I would recommend their services to anyone, whether it be a simple errand or a few days a week house clean.
Thanks to the other woman I can come home and relax!

The Other Woman has never let me down. Cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, dry cleaning - their goal is to make peoples' lives easier. I am impressed with the efficiency and "can-do" attitude of the office staff, and responsiveness and enthusiasm of the owner. They do what they say they'll do, and the cleaners are good, friendly and trustworthy. If you're looking for a cleaning service, I highly recommend them.
- Pros: quick scheduling, great service
SMELLS CLEAN

I used The Other Woman and it worked out really well. I bought 4 hours worth of time, and they got everything on my list completed. I have now scheduled them for 4 hours every other week. Woo hoo I have my weekends back.
- Pros: weekends free again
great service

I recently found myself having company coming last minute, I was frantic at what I could do at such a last minute. I googled house cleaners and came across this wonderful name "The Other Woman". So I gave them a call and they responded quickly, they put me on the schedule the very next day. The cleaning went so well I am going to call them back to set up scheduling. Thanks
- Pros: quick response
Disappointing

The Other Woman cleaned our home three times. We were quoted a price based on the number of hours it was estimated to do the cleaning. The first time was nothing spectacular but they were very nice to deal with and I was encouraged to give them another try. I had left a note with some specific requests that weren't done but I figured it was something that would be resolved the next time they came.
The second time they came, I came home during lunch to meet the ladies but found they had already left. This concerned me because we had paid for six hours of cleaning (two girls for three hours) and I arrived two hours after they started. When I called the office, I was told that three girls cleaned for two hours. They still did not do the one thing I had specifically requested but the house looked pretty good so I let it go.
The third time they came, my daughter was home from college and left the house just as the cleaners were coming in. My daughter called me back less than two hours later and I told her not to go back in the house until the cleaners were done and she told me they were already gone. I asked her how many cleaners were there and she said there were two women. When I returned home, I found that the house looked like nobody had been there except for some minimum vacuuming and dusting. This was unacceptable so I called The Other Woman to request my money back. They wanted to come and redo the house but my belief in their credibility was completely gone. They agreed to send me half of the money back and that was that.
The reason I chose to write this negative recommendation is that, when I did receive the check, it was for much less than we agreed and they had the audacity to justify their reasons. I did not enter this situation expecting to be misled that that was the result. I would not trust this company to honor their commitments and I would not recommend them to anyone.
- Pros: Friendly
- Cons: Not Credible
Worst service ever.

This company was recommended by a neighbor. I was told I would have 2 housekeepers for a 3 hour minimum at $30/hour. What I received was one worker who only vaccumed several rooms in my house. My 18 year old daughter was home and observed the lack of cleaning. This is was evident when I arrived home to a house which did not look any cleaner than when I went to work. None of the bedrooms had been picked up. There were still dishes in the sink and piles of misc. items spread out on the dining table. I found many corners with large amounts of dust in them. The floor had not been mopped. I was looking forward to coming home to a clean house and instead found I had paid $90 to come home to a mess and have to clean my own house. Things were so bad I took pictures of what this company considers "cleaning". I called the office to discuss the lack of cleaning and have not yet received a return call. I would not recommend this company to anyone. It is a waste of money.
- Pros: Available on short notice
- Cons: Misrepresented their services

I initially used the services of The Other Woman on a gift certificate I got for Christmas never intending to use the service again, but they are reasonable and commended for a job well done. I?m now a regular customer and plan to stuff stockings this Christmas with tons of their gift certificates!
More Than A Cleaning Service

I?ve an invalid husband and just can?t find time to get everything done. The Other Woman has been doing my cleaning, shopping, dry cleaning and other task for many years?they?re more like an old friend now rather than a service and I don?t know what I?d do without them.
