Melissa is professional, dependable and excellent at what she does. I've had other cleaning services in the past but without a doubt she has been the best. I rarely take the time to write reviews but in this case I felt it was the least I could do given the level of service that Melissa has provided.

We hired Ammi last month and so far she come to clean our house twice. I admit I was a slob and I was getting embarrassed by how messy it was. In just two short visits, Ammi has done wonders with detailed cleaning of our bathrooms + kitchen + floors, she has really transformed the whole look and feel of everything. Hiring her has been the best decision we've made related to the house so far!
