WORST CLEANING AGENCY

In the beginning, they were amazing! You made a booking and they sent 2 domestics, they has a check list to work from and left that list behind, as confirmation of what they did.

It was really amazing.

Then it all went down hill SO fast.

All of a sudden, you were paying the same rate for 1 domestic instead of 2 and the standards began to drop drastically.

Now, what happened that has caused me to take the time to write this post... I have 2 rules, they simple... If something breaks, TELL ME - accidents happen and thats fine but TELL ME! The rule 2 is: If you dont know where it goes, ask me or leave it on the kitchen counter and I will pack it away. I dont think those are unreasonable requests....

Ok, last week, I got a lady from sweepsouth, I actually booked for once a week as I do work full time, I am studying part time and am a mother of a toddler... So, I know I need help, 2 weeks ago was extremely bad and I needed the help, so I booked a domestic...

She broke a plastic bowl outside - didnt tell me and didnt pick up the sharp pieces off the ground - this injured my child... The standard of cleaning was a joke and Ive had to pull all nighters just trying to clean up after the professional cleaner... She clocked in late and clocked out early - which forced me to pay for times she wasnt here.... I was pressured by the domestic to give her my childs old shoes - Which i was keeping as keepsakes....

For the rest of that week, I kept trying to call SweepSouth and NO answer. So I left a bad review on their app, and requesting they contact me - they didnt.. I then sent them an email on the following monday - I was still ignored.... Then after SO MANY attempts, they eventually answered the phone where I told them part of the story - I left out how they staff member told me that I should cancel with sweepsouth and how she will work for me privately, or how unfair sweepsouth is and that list goes on...

Its been nearly 2 weeks since this happened and all I got was an email THE DAY after I called asking me what happened, after my call was escalated to "relevant departments" not even a phone call!!!

UNPROFESSIONAL! INJURED MY CHILD BY NOT PICKING UP SHARP PLASTIC FROM A CONTAINER SHE BROKE PRESSURED ME INTO GIVING HER SOMETHING I VALUED DO NOT ANSWER EMAILS OR CALLS DISRESPECTFUL!!

So, if anyone knows of a decent, reliable cleaning service, where I dont have to work through the night cleaning what I PAID them to do, please let me know, as I am looking for one.

Someone contacted me via telephone call yesterday and tried to remedy the situation with a discount off my next booking - as politely as I could, told them "no" as the damage has been done.
I will always regret being pressured into giving my childs old shoes (that were in perfect condition) and I was keeping as keepsakes.
But my child being hurt was the last straw - as I said to the gentleman yesterday - I am looking for a "Sweepstar" who will come into my home and become a part of the family, someone we can trust and leave my child alone with - knowing she will be safe.

Instead, events happened that caused a container to break (i don't care about that) but that caused my child to get hurt.
The standard of cleaning wasnt up to your standards - you guys used to be amazing!!
Then I had to stay up until all hours of the early morning - if not all night, trying to clean when my child and husband were alseep and only doing what I could without making a noise, then to work during the day again,

I paid for a service that I actually ended up having to do myself.

So what did I actually pay for, other than having my keepsakes take, child being hurt and then doing the work I paid for?

I wish there was an option to update, but here IS AN UPDATE.
AFTER MONTHS of trying to get this sorted out and BRING IGNORED by the *********** staff of SweepSouth - I was finally told what I need to file a claim, except this information came too late.

SWEEPSOUTH STAFF WILL COME INTO YOUR HOME, DAMAGE/***** YOU PROPERTY AND SWEEPSOUTH WILL IGNORE YOU TO ENSURE THAT THERE CAN BE NO CLAIM.
