House cleaning needed
Looking for an independent housekeeper in SF (not a service) — recommendations appreciated!!
Hey all, recently moved to San Francisco and absolutely loving it here. Now I’m on the hunt for a housekeeper and could use some local intel.
What I’m not looking for: a cleaning service. In my experience, services tend to cycle through cleaners who are just there for a paycheck — high turnover, no real skill, no investment in doing the job well. I also don’t want to deal with scheduling software or booking portals.
What I am looking for: an independent cleaner I can just text or call. Someone who runs their own thing, takes cash or a simple payment method, and actually takes pride in their work.
For context — when I lived in NYC, I had an incredible cleaner. No website, no app, just a phone number. We’d text to schedule, she’d show up, and the place was spotless. She was hands down the best I’ve ever had. That’s the kind of person I’m hoping to find here.
These folks are tough to find online for obvious reasons (they don’t really need to advertise), so word of mouth is really the only way. If you’ve got someone you love and trust, I’d be incredibly grateful for the referral. DMs welcome if you’d rather not share publicly.
Thanks SF!
