Good cleaning service in Atlanta?

Hello! We are about to finish updating a duplex for rent. Can someone recommend a good cleaning service? Want to get it ready for showing asap!

Thank you!

Thanks for tagging me, @Rick Baggenstoss.

I inherited some tenants in a rental that kept 3 dogs and a couple cats first upstairs, and then later locked in the basement. By the time I evicted them, they had lived without utilities for four months, the basement was nasty, and the house smelled so bad that day laborers refused to work in it. The tenants had moved out most of their furniture, so I needed a light trashout and heavy cleaning before I could start turnover rehab.

The majority of cleaning companies charge separate rates for trashout and cleaning. For a 4bed /1bath 1300 sqft house, trashout ranges from $140 to $220 based on how much furniture and large items are left in the house, and cleaning ranges from $160 to 280. Eviction companies will charge hourly for trashout but won't clean.

I ended up using the lowest bid from Q&S Cleaning, a husband and wife team, that quoted me $180 for trashout AND cleaning. The cleaned house was an enormous improvement from what it was before. However, it wasn't a detailed, polished clean, nor did I expect it for that price. I did tip them nicely.

You can PM me if you want their contact info.
