Hey everyone just take note of this company called domestic one I have bad experience with them last year when I engage them in May. Agency fee collect so fast but when called them up they take days to respond. Cleaner always late and didnt turn up for job. Have 3 cleaners changed with them within 2 months and the last one even steal my clothings. Then my friend recommend me another cleaning company called dust matters. Start using them since July till now. Their sales person is very service orientated and their cleaners are very professional. The cleaner Mdm Teo attached to me is very good and details. To what I know they have no limitation of replacement. I only pay a nett fee no agency or any other charges.

Sounds good. Contacts? Full time maid not coming back and contemplating to hire so would like to hire part time ones first.

I have dealt with this DustMatters, Ryan, and he is a rude and inefficient guy! Nothing personal but this is my experience.
Within ONE month, this company has changed my helper 3 times. Imagine having to brief each helper all over again every week.
Before the FIRST helper even arrived, already there are changes...

1) Gave the name of the maid W (Spore PR) via sms, saying she will arrive at 2pm then...
2) on the day itself changed to another maid ZL, but she will only be at my place only 1 time, next week will change to yet another maid, S.
3) last minute changes aplenty, but the person-in-charge, a lady (not ryan) is nice and apologetic so I just say ok but please limit the changes.
4) But the next week, S did not turn up. Instead another maid SP turned up at my doorstep.
5) I was upset but again was assured this will be the last change.
6) Later 2 weeks later, other changes inevitably happen & even the timings often change, 2pm become 12pm the next week then change days etc... I was patient enuf since the lady serving me always sms or calls in advance of any changes... but i do intend to disengage DustMatters already
7) in all, i have 3 DIFFERENT helpers come to my place in a space of 5 weeks. And of the 5 weeks, there have been 2 changes of timing. Not counting those changes that happen before the maid turns up.
finally the lady in charge seems to quit DustMatters out of frustration (my guess only) but she was very diplomatic and told me Ryan will take over.
9) NOW here comes the best part, from first engaging them till after the lady quit, I have never been invoiced. And I asked abt it but was told they will invoice soon. So I left it.
10) Ryan has never called nor sms me so I see no reason to continue giving DustMatters any chances so I stop their services for a week to try another helper and terminate their services the following week.
11) His replies are short & disinterested but it is ok for me.
12) I terminated their services via sms on 14 Sep, 9:45pm and Ryan only invoice my wife 9th Oct, 4:32pm via email.
13) His invoice are all backdated to Aug 29th & Sept 30th.
14) We were at fault for missing out that email but on 30 Nov, he sent a reminder. We were preparing to do a transfer when he sent yet another email to say his invoice was WRONG and we should pay a higher amount.
15) It is ok if he collects his money late but to get invoice amount wrong after 2.5mths since service was terminated is ridiculous.
16) my wife simply ask him if he is sure about the invoice amount and then he replied very rudely to my wife.
17) that is when I took over the emails and started chastising him via email for bring rude to my wife.
18) Ryan is obviously an inefficient person trying to run a company. On top of that inefficiency, he is rude. And he even threaten to sue me for complaining about his company!

This is indeed my experience with DustMatters.
I just want share my experience so no one else will get lousy service.

Wow. I didnt manage to call them actually. I was so busy that I hired a full time maid instead, and was lucky my full time maid is quite good this time round. Thanks for the info.

JCzzzz, saw the comments and the bad experiences that you encountered from Dust Matters reallmake me skeptical on engaging PT maid from those un established company… Wondering is there a good PT maids that you guys can share with me? Been looking for those who are efficient with good service for my house spring cleaning…
