BoomDone!

Yep, that's right...It's their motto...MANN MAID'S!

Now, I always thought that Mr. Wonderful and I were good housekeepers, yet not clean freaks, but neat and organized...that is, until we moved! OMG! I thought, how did we live in this filth? You know the dust bunnies that hide behind the huge furniture that you never move because your afraid you injure a nad or pull something that would feel like you got run over by a Mac truck!

I blame my partial inadequate cleaning ability's to a torn knee ligament back in December that forced me to use a walker and crutches, and then in March, I broke my foot and was in a cast for 8 weeks, but for crying out loud... this is the end of AUGUST! I can't use my lame excuses anymore....Shuddup and quit yur bitchin'!

Okay, I can blame the fact that we bought a house, and I was to busy buying new Flamingo's for the new homestead...Hmmm...okay, I just got to damn busy to worry about the nooks and crannies, but here it is to haunt me! I am a slob!

So the other day I am on peoria.com forum and I find this post about needing a housekeeper really fast. Hey, I need one too because we really need to clean the old house, and get it listed real soon, and I don't have time to be at both places at once. I had just called Merry Maids, and they told me everything they didn't do...I felt like I was talking to myself! Hey, if I liked to do those things, I wouldn't be calling you! Plus, I hate it when someone tells you how much it's going cost before they have seen it! They were quoting prices like I lived in some pig pen. It's really not that bad! Or at least I don't think so but then again, I don't clean for a living! I asked if they could meet us on Saturday and right away they exclaimed... WE DON"T WORK ON SATURDAY'S! OooooKaaay! What about around 4:30 during the week? WE STOP WORKING AT 3:30! Ssswwweeeeeet! Okay, then you tell me when you can meet with us, and then I get put on hold for five minutes. Sitting here twiddling my thumbs because there wasn't any elevator music to listen to....a new person comes on the line and says, how 'bout 4:30 on Friday? Hmmmm....what happened? Did they change their hours because of me? Or did I not understand something in the previous conversation with the other person. I am not one to question weird things, I just shrug my shoulders and go on...so I said, that would be great.

Like I was saying, I saw this post and low and behold there was this guy who says hire Mann Maids...with I might add, a fabulous recommendation! At first I thought it was a joke but then realized he was serious! I told him I had to check with my hubby first because you know, c'mon, what husband is going to agree to have men clean house for their wife? They probably vision Fabio half naked, with little beads of sweat that make his tan body glisten like he pored a whole bottle of baby oil all over himself, and with a feather duster in those huge hands, in tight speedo's with every obvious bulge not left for your imagination, and her sitting there drooling, ooohing and aaahhing over his masculine ability to suck with the hoover vac ...oh, wait a minute, that's MY vision! Whew...I need a cold shower! Anyway, I tell Mr. Wonderful about Mann Maids and he says...Call them! Oh Yeah!

Yippee! I did exactly that and I am so glad I did! Mann Maids were more concerned on meeting my needs and customer satisfaction. Now isn't that what it's all about? They aren't concerned about money, it's all about making YOU happy!

I have a pet peeve about people saying they can do something, but you have to wait until it's convenient for them... If I wanted to wait, I would do it myself! Mann Maids said they could do it right away, matter of fact, we had them quote us the estimate, and they said they would start that very same night! Now that's service!

We had people coming over to see the house the next day who were potential buyers, and the house was so spic and span well, let me just tell you, I couldn't have done it better myself! Better yet, I didn't have to do it myself! They scrubbed every corner, square inch of the house, and even did the yard, patio and garage! OMG! Talk about feeling like you just died and gone to heaven...because we all know, heaven is clean...

I am just so ecstatic over their services I just had to let off some of my enthusiasm so Mr. Wonderful doesn't start pulling more of his hair out listening to me rave about them!

Not only do I love Flamingos...I love Mann Maids, and their excellent customer service! A big pink smooch to you guys!
