FABULOUS!!

FABULOUS!!! highly impressed by both the efficience of the cleaners and also the very precise methods they employ. They managed to do an absolutely smashing job on my aunts bungalow after many years of neglect. The place hasnt looked so clean for years. The girls were wonderful and made sure my elderly aunt was comfortable throughtout their visit and even took 5 minutes out to sit and have a chat with her which really brightened her day after many months of not having any company in the house.
Very very pleased. Thank you

Despite paying in advance

Despite paying in advance, being flexible with days, and being let down twice at the last minute; a week later and I still await a refund. I was assured a refund would be processed last Friday, it’s now Wednesday. Unfortunately I don’t think this company can be trusted presently, a shame it all started so well.

This review is a further negative review from a person that had already left feedback last week. The reviews left are all relate to the same service.

Being able to leave multiple negative reviews of the same service highlights the credibility of the Trustpilot review process - should multiple positive reviews be left they are immediately removed.

Excellent service

Missy and her team were brilliant when dealing with a very difficult clean we needed doing after losing a loved one
From the office staff to the team that came out it was faultless

Two days late, binned all our food and took our cleaning products.

Arranged for a team to complete an end of tenancy clean last Tuesday at midday. Paid upfront. received a text at 10am saying they would be slightly late and would be arriving at 10.30am. When we rang and spoke to Alex he was very professional and informed us that he would rearrange and send the team to another location to arrive at ours for midday as originally planned. At midday we received a call saying they were delayed and wouldn’t be there until 4pm. At 4.30pm we rang and were told 1.they were outside 2. They were running late. After this we were told they were still on another job and would come and collect a key so we wouldn’t have to hang around. At the same time we received a text saying there was a car accident and the team would be there at 7pm opposing what was said over the phone. Someone did come and collect the key and we were assured it would be done that evening.
I told them that I understood it was late so completing it on Wednesday would be okay if they couldn’t do it that evening.
The clean wasn’t completed until Thursday - after numerous calls and texts assuring it would be done Wednesday. We asked that we be told when the clean was complete so we could evaluate the work (as instructed in the email by the company) we were not called. We arrived and found the fridge and freezer had all been binned with cigarette ash all over the top so it was not salvageable, and laundry cleaning items taken. We rang and was told this was unacceptable and we would hear back. We have been told repeatedly when we ring that we would hear back about what could be done and have not even though it’s now been a week later.
There is obviously an issue with communication as no one has rang us back and everyone we have spoke to when we rang has been so apologetic and said they would ring back and don’t.
I would suggest not leaving anything in the house if you’re having a clean done. The cleaning was good - they even did the oven.

Update: spoke to Tracey who was very helpful and wanted to make it right. Have been given a partial refund of 25%

Extremely pleased

Extremely pleased with my end of tenancy clean.
The landlord had let maintenance on the property lapse to the point thousands are now going to have to be spent rewiring, replacing stairs and such however the team managed to work around all the issues and clean to an excellent standard.
The team also were able to flex when I was stuck in traffic behind an accident around school pickup.
They were professional and understanding. Will definitely recommend and use again.
Many thanks

Failed to show 3 times, then refunded

I have been left bitterly disappointed by my experience with this cleaning agency.

I had an end-of-lease clean booked for 10am on a Tuesday in Weymouth (Dorset). It was arranged and paid for 6 weeks in advance, by a very professional sounding lady who clearly described the service and made me feel comfortable that I could rely on them to thoroughly deep clean the apartment and hide the fact that I'd secretly had a cat in there (something I specifically pointed out to them).

On moving day, I was all packed up by 10am but nobody was here so I called the office. After 30 minutes they were able to explain that the 'cleaning crew' had had an emergency with her school-aged daughter and was delayed. Of course these things happen and family comes first, so I passed on my best wishes but begged them to find an alternative to allow me to complete my move. In the meantime I rearranged my own plans for the day.

At 12:00 I had to leave to catch a flight so I spoke to the estate agent and got them to agree that the cleaners could collect the key directly from the office and come the following day. Mel's Cleaning agreed to this with thanks for the extra time, and I continued my difficult move overseas.

However, the following day (Wednesday) came and went. Thursday came and went. On Friday afternoon the estate agent called me to say that the cleaners had not yet been in touch, and that the landlords had arrived to spend the weekend only to find the flat uncleaned. Horrified, I immediately called Mel's Cleaning and insisted that they get in touch with the estate agent at once. They did so, arranging to collect the keys at 10am on Saturday morning.

Well, at 10:30 on Saturday morning, guess what? The estate agent called me to say that nobody had shown up, and also "Were you keeping a cat in the flat?", because of course they had seen cat hairs that were supposed to have been cleaned up long before anyone had the opportunity to see them.

I called Mel's Cleaning and was met with voicemail. I left a message and was pleasantly surprised to actually get a call back an hour or so later. The caller told me that the appointment with the estate agent had not actually been confirmed because they'd said they needed consent from the landlord. Abi then proceeded to contact both the estate agent and the landlord directly to attempt to rearrange the clean.

This went on for some time, until finally at around 12:30pm the estate agent called and told me she had no faith in the cleaner and felt she was "fobbing us both off". I later exchanged emails with the landlord who clarified, "I spoke directly with Abi and quickly formed a view that she was, quite simply, a liar. We had expected her today (Saturday) at 10.00 a.m. but, after several conversations, she finally admitted around 12.15 that her team would not be coming."

At this point, as outgoing tenant, I was expected to take action, so I asked the estate agent for a local company recommendation, called up Dust Bunnies Dorset and had a new clean arranged for 9:30 Monday morning.

Abi was sincerely apologetic and said that she wished we would allow her to continue to resolve the problem, but agreed to issue a refund. I passed her my bank details and received the full refund 6 days later.

Hi Emily,

Thanks for your feedback.

Firstly, the only confirmed visit we had for the property was on the day that you were moving. On the day we had called you to advise due to the circumstances the cleaners were not able to attend.

You had advised liaising with the Letting Agents regarding access to the property however it was never agreed with them that a team would attend the following day. On Friday we managed to speak with Amanda from the letting agents who advised that the property owners had arrived at the property and she was not certain if it would be suitable for us to attend on Saturday. She said that she would pass our mobile number to the owners so that they could call to confirm - as it was getting late in the day we gave the mobile number so they could call anytime.
We did not receive any communication to confirm that they were wanting us to go out, nor with regards to how a team would be able to gain access should they have gone out on the off chance that it would be ok. It was at no point arranged or even suggested that keys would be collected at 10am.

From the initial contact on Saturday we spent the morning calling our cleaning teams to arrange the visit at short notice, during which time we liaised with both the landlord and the letting agent. We then advised the soonest we could have a team would have been Monday morning at 9am. This was offered to the letting agent who bluntly informed us this would not be suitable.

To state in your review that the landlady stated that one of our team members is "quite simply a liar" is insolent and superfluous.

In your email correspondence with ourselves, during which time we were trying to reach a resolution for you, you had stated that you would have preferred for us to have been able to attend but you would have to fall back on the team that is well known to the agents as it would need to be completed before Monday:

" When the estate agent tells me that she thinks the cleaner is "just fobbing us both off", the only appropriate reaction is to find an alternative.

I'm assuming that there's no way you'll still be able to get the clean sorted before Monday, given the late notice..? Therefore we have to fall back on the local team who are already well known to the agent."

It seems your letting agents were more favourable to their preferred company completing the service, than any urgency for the cleaning to be completed before Monday.

i have recently had a full end of lease cleaning service from Mels Cleaning.
I had reached out as i nedeed a really thorough clean including the carpets and upholstery as i had a rental that was fully furnished.
I called and was given a very reasonable quote which i was happy to proceed with and they got me all booked in within a few days. The team who came out to me were prompt and very courteous and they had everything needed to get the job done.

Transformed my house back to a home

I found the service from Mels cleaning really high standard making the booking was straight forwad . Tracey was sympathetic and easy to communicate with. The cleaning team Marena did a wonderful job they were so hardworking and thorough. They did lots of extras organising my kitchen They completely transformed my house back to my home .I just hope that the ladies are paid a high rate to reflect the higher cost of this service..It was worth it..

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Arranged bi-weekly cleaning which to begin with, I was very happy with the service and cleaners. Then I was informed that our cleaners no longer worked for Mel's Cleaning and a replacement would be found for my next clean in 2 weeks. I emailed prior to this clean for an update, no response. No cleaner came. I emailed again, no response. Eventually, I emailed to say that I no longer wanted to continue using Mel's Cleaning given the poor service I had received - and again, no response. Disappointed to say the least.

Hi Sophia,

Thank you for your feedback.

We had to sadly cease your regular cleaning service when the local team had to leave us at short notice. We had informed you of the fact the team had left, and that as soon as we had a replacement team we would be able to recommence the cleaning for you. At the current time we do not have a team available in your area.

We can only apologise if you had sent emails that you had felt were not replied to, we have checked through our system and cannot see any further emails that we had received from you.

We understand that you were very pleased with the cleaning when the team had initially attended for you, and we would be more than happy to get in touch again when we do have a regular team available.

Unsatisfactory

The customer service was great…before they had my money. I booked for an end of tenancy clean and paid £300 for this to be done. The clean was not done very well and a lot of dirt/marks were left behind. I’ve emailed photos over as myself and my landlord are not happy with the standard and nothing has been resolved over a week in. I’ve now lost a chunk of my deposit as a result as the cleaners were not sent back to sort out what has been missed. My emails are now being ignored and I’m going to have to take it further to get some of my money back. I would avoid this company. They’re great until you’ve paid and then after that they aren’t interested in helping sort out any issues you have. I won’t use this company again

Hi Lily,

Thanks for your feedback, we are looking into this matter for you as we had advised and we will be getting back to you once we have all of the information needed. We can assure you that your emails have not been ignored and have been responded to.

In relation to the concerns raised by your landlord with the walls at the property, the team are able to clean them down however we cannot guarantee that mould and damp stains can be removed. We cannot return decor back to as new standard.

We have telephoned and left voicemail and sent further emails but have had no response back from you yet.

Many thanks,
