Household grime, if left unchecked, will develop into miniature civilizations whose complex network of treaties may and definitely will fall apart after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Today’s Groupon spares you the trouble of tripping over tiny trenches. For $49, you get three hours of housecleaning from Today's Maid Service, a $98 value. Today's Maid Service's professional cleaning services are a class apart from the usual mop-and-bucket, scouring-pad, or socked-foot wipe-up. Today's Maid's maids will wash blinds and screens, defrost and clean a dirty freezer, do the dishes, and polish away shame. They service Brooklyn, Manhattan, and most of Queens.
Housecleaning services include dusting, vacuuming carpets, mopping floors, changing linens, emptying wastebaskets, and annihilating cobwebs. In the kitchen, one of Today's maids will clean the sink, microwave, and stovetop before wiping down the outside of all appliances and cabinets. Bathrooms sparkle with clean mirrors, toilets (inside and out), and unscuffed showers and tubs. (Click here to see a list of available services.) Maids are trained and experienced in the art of grease spatters, shoe scuffs, straggly marooned hairs, disheveled linens, and messes. They'll ask you for direction and focus on the areas you need cleaned the most; all services are customized to the customer's needs.
Today's Maid Service is as passionate about customer satisfaction as it is about cleanliness. The company guarantees satisfaction with every cleaning. If you're moving out and need a sparkling-clean stovetop to trick your landlords into overlooking the numerous entire frozen pizzas ferreted away beneath the fake flooring panel installed to hide exiled, insane chess prodigy Bobby Fisher, or if you refuse to do the dishes anymore, call Today's Maid Service's office to schedule your cleaning.
Service area includes Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the following zip codes in Queens: 11101, 11102, 11104, 11105, 11106, 11372, 11374, 11375, 11377, 11378, and 11385.
Reviews
Yelpers give Today's Maid Service 3.5 stars, a Yahoo! Local user rates it five stars, and Citysearchers, who love the staff's professionalism, give it four stars:
- Everything was ship-shape - immaculate. The kitchen floors were sparkling, the bathrooms smelled fresh, and the bedrooms were made like in a hotel. After each visit the customer service department calls me to make sure that I was satisfied with the job that was done. Now which company does that? They are extremely professional and courteous. – lem323, Citysearch
- I'm so pleased with the thorough cleaning, convenience of having all necessary products brought to me and the professionalism of the maid and coordinators I spoke with on the phone. – Kate B., Yelp
Groupon Says
Cleaning Products Mascots: Roll Call
For as long as there has been television advertising, household cleaning products have been associated with friendly, cartoon faces, from Mr. Clean to the cuddly yet presumably filthy Toilet Duck. But not every cleaning-product mascot can attain the visibility of, say, the Scrubbing Bubbles. Who are some lesser-known product mascots keeping things spotless outside the spotlight?
Spick and Span, The Bubble Bros. (active 1941–1956): The Bubble Bros. were the twin faces of Spotshine Soap Conglomerate for the better part of early television's heyday, and they are remembered today less for their peppy jingles and more for their violent falling out and chair fight on the floor of the McCarthy hearings.
Mr. Filth (active 1962–1968): Introduced as a comic foil for Mr. Clean, Mr. Filth was a character of exceptional hairiness who clothed himself in soggy newspapers, banana skins, and strategically placed clumps of coffee grounds. The role was filled by seven successive actors, who were forced to wear the costume at all times at the insistence of diva commercial-director Claudian Broche. Aspiring stars eventually stopped showing up to Mr. Filth auditions after Mr. Filths I through VI were diagnosed with plague, and Mr. Filth VII was made the reluctant leader of a North Hollywood tribe of raccoons.
Sudsy (active 1988–present): An actual gorilla that was brought indoors and dressed like a maid in her sleep, Sudsy doesn't fully understand her own actions, often reacting harshly to the studio lights, tearing prop sinks from the wall, and attacking her own reflection. Despite the popularity of the ad campaign, Sudsy: The Movie is on indefinite hiatus, pending the rediscovery of Sudsy's trainer, Susan Mitchell, who was either devoured or has turned off her phone.
