"Got my full deposit back."
"Hired Rain City Maids for a move-out cleaning at my old apartment. The place was filthy from a single dude living there for 8 years. Two hours after they arrived it was spotless. Like they brought wands instead of vacuum cleaners. Got my full deposit back which saved me a lot of money."
Paul C. · November 2024
"The team was amazing and professional. This was a big job, move-out deep cleaning on a 2k sq ft home that had 3 dogs. It was so clean! I highly recommend their services."
Kelly W. · September 2025
