Overall performance
Long hours, mediocre results, lots of money paid, house seems same as before, no clear communication, if it's one time use, seems they just care about putting in lots of hours and does not matter the results. No contact after other than email about your last charge. Will never use again. I had to show many mistakes, missed spots, and the re-do's at my expense.
User's recommendation: I do not recommend at all.

The Cleaning Authority - Review in Cleaning Services category from Phoenix, Arizona
I have tried this company on three different occasions and all were bad experiences. They broke items that were not replaceable, and the management did not seem to care. They scratched the top of my dresser and then called me a lair. The owner Patrick was very smug and...

Broken storm door, no reimbursement, poor quality
I was using this cleaning service since late last year. The first two times they came I would say were pretty good. Quality of service definitely went down hill after the first few times. Also, I have a severely disabled neighbor whos house they would try and go into,...

In the middle of September 2021 I contracted the Exton, PA franchise to do a deep clean, what they call an "A" clean, for the 1st time for $165 + tax ($174.90) and then once a month thereafter for $125 + tax ($132.50). After the 1st clean I came home to discover that...

Too bad you didn't read other reviews here or elsewhere online. Owner Helak is tough to deal with, an obnoxious clown.

Original review updated by user Sep 23, 2021
I don't know about the other Cleaning Authority franchises, but this one is the absolute worse service provider I have ever experienced or heard about. They are totally unreliable. They do not keep their appointed schedule and are very poorly managed. When I fired them they expressed no regrets and made no effort to make amends. I asked the owner to telephone me and he never did. They have no idea of what customer service is about. User's recommendation: Avoid this company like the plague.

Terrible cleaning service
This is the 2nd time I hired this company. The total cleaning time was 30 minutes for 2 people. They did not dust all of my furniture. The shower, toilets and sinks were not cleaned. They had dirt and rings in the bowls. The stove, refrigerator and dishwasher looked like there were wiped with a dirty cloth. They did not take out the trash. For this I paid $80.00, When IDSDS
User's recommendation: Do not hire the cleaning company.

Don't Listen To Ex Employees Unless They Tell You Why They Were Terminated
I was an operations rep for The Cleaning Authority for 11 years, have worked with Rick for 15 years, yes he was an attorney at Ohio Civil Rights commission but wanted to run his own business, so 16 years ago he made a career change and bought a start up franchise, never disbarred, just wanted a career change. Most franchise owners come from another career when they decide to try out on their own, Rick was no different. This is obviously a former very disgruntled employee, this is a rant to try and get at the company. All these accusations about products are plain out lies, TCA dilutes all their products because they come in concentrated form, they are peroxide based and therefore are clear, no coloring is needed or added. Why if your going to wash or launder towels would you not throw in some detergent, stinky towels? ridiculous. I would not say this is a "Pissed Off Customer" and people should consider the source.

Poor customer service and inconsistency in keeping appointments
I used this company for over a year and tried to be patient when they kept changing the staff and postponing my date for cleaning at the last minute. We were told when we signed on to use them that we would have the same ladies cleaning each time so we could be comfortable with who was in our home. That lasted for about 4 months and then every couple of weeks it was someone different. In addition on the morning that they were expected we would get a call that the cleaners were unable to come for one reason or another. This happened two times when I was expecting guest or planning for large dinner and didn't have the time to do the cleaning myself because of the last minute notification. The last straw was when they called to postpone our cleaning on a holiday weekend which was also my birthday and we had big party planned. I called the office to find out why the cancelled and never got a call back. That was it, I was not going to deal will the lack of respect for the customer any longer.

Becky,Patrica & Kiala what a wonderful crew , cleaned the the house perfectly as do all the crews that have been coming to our home for the past year . All the girls love coming here and just love the cats . I guess my only complaint would have to be with management and it is not really a complaint . When we started we were told our time would be between 10:15 and 11:15 am but as time went by my times seem to have been pushed back as late as 3:oo pm . I would love to get back on track with the times that were laid out in the beginning .

Can't speak about "Rick" I'm sure many Cleaning Authority owners are fine. But not all are.
The one in Exton Pa is a classic example of corporate world mentality attempting to run a business with no people skills. Get a bunch of young people, mostly uneducated, and throw a bone at them. Throw rules out there that take blatant advantage of them. Docking pay to minimum wage for an entire week for missing half a day!
B.S. Getting annoyed at taking sick leave or any family emergency.
This company is a total joke. I would encourage anybody in the cleaning field considering this company to just forget about it and start out with their own clientele.
