Apartment deep clean

Last week the Lux team came in and deep cleaned my apartment from top to bottom. I couldn't have been happier with the results. Mary and co. cleaned my place for the entire day, and when I came home it was gleaming! Highly recommended and worth the cost.

Residential cleaning

I am writing because I appreciate a clean house and I just did not have the energy for all the work involved. Fortunately, the team from LUX took my cleaning obsession seriously and looked after those details that would bug me -- the crusty insides of cabinets, the dirty tracks on the sliding doors, the grime between the stove and the counter. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were tackling it. That they (M & D) were kind and friendly was a superb added bonus. Thank you both so very much. I enjoyed meeting you and wish you all the very best. KG

Post-renovation major cleaning

We had our son's condo cleaned for him after a major bathroom renovation as well as other damage throughout the unit. The team was fabulous. Led by Michelle, we could hardly recognize the place it sparkled and gleamed so much. In addition, Randy was sent in to do steam-cleaning of carpeting and upholstered furniture, and he was completely amazing and great to work with.

We arranged for all this work through Al D. who has been a pleasure to work with.

We feel like we are in the hands of true professionals. LUX is high-end in terms of cost, but well worth every penny.

Residential cleaning

Lux did an amazing job cleaning our house. I really liked that Al, the owner, came over to see our house before our first cleaning appointment. He recorded lots of information about our house - the rooms, finishes, things to be careful of, etc - which he then gave the cleaning team. The team was amazing - thorough, careful and punctual. And Lisa, who looks after client service, is great - very friendly, efficient and helpful. I can't recommend Lux highly enough.

Spring cleaning

From giving a realistic estimate to any updates (arrival time, start to finish time, etc), Al and Lisa were great at communicating things every step of the way. The cleaning team arrived on time and did wonders. Although I was a bit concerned about the cost, it was totally worth every penny to see the whole house sparkle. I almost felt like I was on one of those HGTV shows when Mary showed me all the rooms at the end of the day. Thank you LUX!

Spring Cleaning

Lux Cleaning (luxclean.net) did a superb "forensic" cleaning of our condo unit. Windows, all cupboards, baseboards and everything else were executed perfectly. Punctual, pre-arranged start and finish times. Every inch of our home passed and exceeded the "white glove" test.

Cat allergy abatement

Fantastic work and customer service! We chose Lux, as they specialize in asthma and allergy cleans. Al is amazing, and did an thorough assessment and quote, and even replaced our lamp shade with one that he no longer needed. The duct and steam cleaning were done thoroughly and professionally, and the cleaning team of Mary, Nicola, and Siobhan are incredibly sweet and hardworking - after this cleaning, there isn't a cat hair to be found. They literally cleaned every surface in the house, including walls, books, and light fixtures.
Very happy we went with a company who specializes in allergy reduction.

Update: The impact of the cleaning on my asthma was immediate - since Lux cleaned the cat dander out of our house, I no longer suffer from asthma attacks. It was great to feel such an immediate result. Thanks again Lux!

House cleaning

We contracted this company many months ago - they sent a formal evaluator by to estimate our needs and provide a quotation which they did in a timely fashion. Initially things were excellent and we were very pleased. Crews changed and my wife had opportunity to speak with the crew leader on many occasions - each time they indicated that the workload was easily manageable. Then another switch up and everything degrades to poor cleaning. Not emptying garbage etc. Simply much less than one would expect of a premier cleaning company - the manager was contacted and denied any involvement in some serious damage that could not have been anything either - the quality of cleaning declined dramatically as observed independently by us, our children and our full time housekeeper. It all started brilliantly but then the manager had the audacity to suggest that we needed more hours of cleaning when it was his estimate and contract originally proposed just months before. There was never any information conveyed along the way that the job was too onerous only the contrary from the very nice young women who visited us to do the work. We regard this ask as a cash-grab that is absolutely transparent and unacceptable. To be disrecommended in the strongest terms.

Robert, I am sorry you have reacted so strongly to us resigning you as a client.
It is true that we provided a home assessment in June of 2014 and then started our bi-weekly service a few weeks later. We agreed to a 9 hour cleaning time which your wife shortened after just four visits and then a few months later tried to shorten again. During the last 11 months of service you and Margaret sent notes of appreciation for our fine work in your home. We had several crew changes during this time as you knew would happen as discussed in our initial meeting and as per our custom cleaning plan document (all of our regular weekly clients who have written complimentary reviews here on Homestars have experienced similar changes of cleaning teams). As you know there are many reasons why we change teams from time to time. Because of thorough and detailed training and excellent team leadership in the home, we are able to achieve our goal of high consistency between cleanings.
A couple of weeks ago, you sent an extremely aggressive e-mail to us complaining that your stereo had been damaged due to the power cords being pulled out of the wall socket (resulting in a damaged power cord), this was a full 2 weeks after we had been in your home. You had expected us to pay for the repair to the cord of which you estimated would cost less than $1000. You also complained of some missed areas of cleaning at that time.
I set up a meeting with you at your home and we discussed the power cord. You mentioned that you use your stereo every day, and could not explain why you delayed informing of us about the damage for two weeks. We agreed that due to the thorough training our staff receives regarding cleaning electronics (many of our clients have extremely valuable audio systems) and the time that had elapsed as well the many variables that could occur over the two week period that we could not be certain how the damage was done.
We then discussed some of the missed areas and we looked at the dining room that had not been cleaned. I explained that the dining room was to be cleaned every second visit due to the time restrictions set up at the start of the service and as documented in our custom cleaning plan. Since you had a birthday party between cleanings, it was more obvious than usual that this room had been skipped.
At that time, you agreed to add time to future cleanings so that we did not have to skip areas of your home every second cleaning and also because I explained that every team that came to your home did their best but could barely meet our standards in the time we had available. I also let you know during our meeting that I had come to your home twice to help the team managers better cope with cleaning your home. In your review here you mentioned that your wife “had the opportunity to speak with the crew leader on many occasions”. However, our teams are led by top trained professionals that never complain to clients about their home as their focus is to please our clients and do what they can in the time we have. This is something they leave for the owners of LUX to deal with and one of the reasons why clients hire a service instead of an individual.
From time to time, we do ask for additional cleaning time as circumstances change in the home or expectations change from the homeowner. This would hardly be described as a “cash grab” because we ask for more time to ensure our reputation for the highest quality cleaning service available is maintained. Also, if it was “so absolutely transparent it was a cash grab” why would I position the ask as either we have more time in the home or we need to part ways?
The only other thing you mentioned during our meeting and you mentioned again in this review is that we failed to empty 1 or 2 garbage cans. Based on these minor misses, I feel the wording used in your review may be overly dramatic and is only written to damage our reputation as much as possible.
We regret that we are parting with such bad feelings on your part. We are a small family run business trying to do our best every day to clean our client’s homes and make them happy. We wish you the very best .
Sincerely, Al and Lisa.
