Soany Lopes Housecleaning Svs

Sue (Soany) is exactly what I am looking for in a housekeeper — trustworthy, hardworking and extremely meticulous. I’ve never had any qualms leaving her the key to our place and problems about «missing» items (which I’ve had the past with other housekeepers) would just never come to mind with Sue. When she gets to our house, she just get to work and goes and goes and covers an incredible number of tasks in a short amount of time. I’m very picky about the small details when cleaning a house (dust in skylights, stray gunk in the nooks and crannies of kitchen sinks, etc.) and Sue has always met/​exceeded my expectations. She even erased of a ton of crayon marks from a wall that my toddler made!
It’s so nice to walk into the house after Sue has cleaned — everything looks and smells so clean! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a cleaner.

Are we the only ones who call Soany «Sue»? Anyway, she’s great. She comes twice a month to our apartment and leaves it really clean.
She is cheerful and personable and totally trustworthy. We always just head out to brunch when she comes over, to get the baby away from all the racket and cleaning products. She is kind of like «Auntie Sue». She loves our baby and always has sweet things to say to her.
Another reviewer mentioned her little projects. It’s true. She hasn’t kept us updated on what little projects she has going on at our place — probably because we’re out wandering around our Berkeley neighborhood while she cleans — but for a while, when she would tell us things like «the tub is clean but you had a little mildew in there, and I need to really get it next time, so I’ll start there next time.» Or once she said, «I started to clean the ceiling in the bathroom, and I’ll finish it next week.» (I was like «people clean the ceiling?!»)
She even uses our green cleaning products in most places in the apartment, though she resisted using them in the toilet or kitchen sink, so we gave in on that one. And when she makes our bed, she does all the little crazy baby stuff we do – we put cloth diapers down on top of the mattress cover (because it takes forever to dry) and below the fitted sheet. That’s kind of nutso, but Sue makes the bed just like we like it, and as a result, our mattress cover doesn’t smell like spit up. Thanks, Sue!
One thing to note is that she doesn’t organize your stuff. You really need to have it picked up pretty well to let her do her job. Her job is strictly cleaning — or at least that’s what her job is for us at the rate we’re paying. So don’t leave a bunch of stuff out think she’s going to sort it for you. On the plus side, you never have to go looking for cooking stuff — our last cleaning folks would just put kitchen stuff up wherever, and we’d be all «where the hell is the strainer?» Now we try to get all our stuff put away the night before Sue comes — though we rarely have our acts together, so when she shows up, we have her start in one room while we race around tidying up the rest of the house so she can clean it. She’s nice about how totally disorganized our post-​baby lives are!
Give her a shot. She’s good people.

We were referred to Soany from a co-​worker and are really happy for the referral. We hadn’t had a house cleaner in the past and were weary of letting someone in our home. She came in the first time and did a very thorough deep cleaning and now twice a month. Soany is very trustworthy and a great housekeeper!

Soany is a bit obsessive, and we’ve realized that’s what you want in a housecleaner. On her first visit, she spent 4.5 hours cleaning our 2-​bedroom apartment. We didn’t realize there were that many things that needed cleaning, but we really noticed the difference once she was done. She now comes 2x/​month and our place always feels fresh and tidy. Highly recommended

Soany is a fantastic housekeeper! I have her clean my Oakland home once a month and it really helps reset the house by getting that «deep clean» I always seem so busy to do myself. Paying for a monthly housekeeper is great for keeping our house going And I can’t say enough positive things about Soany. She’s prompt, a great value and always does little extra projects each time she comes… Last time is was my fridge, this time it was the porch. She also services Berkeley so we’ll be taking her services with us as long as we are in the east bay!
