House cleaner recommendations for Seattle

August 6, 2018 12:59 PM

Our awesome previous house cleaners (independent, recommended by neighbor) moved away a year ago, and I'm finally ready to admit I can't keep the house anywhere near as clean without help. Do you have anyone you'd like to give more business to? Northeast Seattle location if it matters. Thanks!

Best answer: Ortencia Santana, [e-mail]. We have been using her crew for many years both in Ballard and in West Seattle, and they were recommended to us by a friend in Montlake who used them for many years and recommended them to several other friends. Ortencia will want to come to your house and do a walk-through and understand what you need cleaned with what frequency, and then she will let you know the estimate. You may want to start with a deep clean the first time and then move to a regularly scheduled lighter cleaning every week or every 2 weeks.

Best answer: I love April Lane, if they're in your area. Not the cheapest cleaners in Seattle for sure, but they seem like the happiest :)

Best answer: I can send you my cleaners. They're $125/cleaning.

Best answer: Another vote for April Lane! A good friend has worked for them for several years and I can confirm they do high-quality work and treat their employees very well (especially relative to other, big-name home cleaning services which shall remain nameless). I encourage you to check them out if they cover your area.
