Reply from MyClean Cleaning ServicesSep 5, 2018
Hi Henry,
Thanks for the response. I've discussed with the team and understand the frustration you've experienced. And I apologize. I get it - I started this company, because I wanted my place cleaned with the same quality and convenience, clean in and clean out, regardless of my presence.
To the defense of my team, this was a particularly challenging situation, and we are sorry the confusion about our scope of work led to your client's dissatisfaction. The location had painting done and as counter-intuitive as it may seem (it's something we've learned over the years), this causes dust to settled and resettled for days after the paint job. This is why we recommend post-construction cleans in this circumstance. Unfortunately, because you had used us before, you were not directed towards our moving/deep clean questionnaire which would have pointed you towards the post-con service. As a result, our clean did not leave the location clean.
To respond to the first issue, regarding the cleaner's work ethic and honesty, Mel has been with us for 4 years and has made many clients happy during the period. I have no reason to believe that she left early. Instead, she simply could not meet the needs of your client.
As for the second issue, our CS team is trained to quickly identify the differences between a poor cleaning vs. a cleaning that was out of scope. They responded quickly once it was made clear there had been construction (e.g. painting). I apologize for the agent's abrupt messaging and are in discussions on how to improve this difficult message.
Nonetheless, It doesn't sit right with me of what you experienced from both a cleaning experience as well as a customer service experience.
First, I have deleted your payment info. In any case, it was always held securely and encrypted, and MyClean would never charge it without authorization (e.g., if you book a future clean).
Secondly, once you're stateside, I would propose a brief phone call to discuss how we can fix this for you and your client. We want you to get full value from our service, even where there was a miscommunication about what we could and could not do.
If this would interest you, please tell me a day and time when you're back and available, and a number to reach you, so I can call you (and update your records in our system).
I look forward to finding a resolution that can get our relationship back on track, even if you choose to go with another service in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike
