With a baby coming in 11 days, the last thing I want to think about is dusting the ceiling, ceiling fans, wiping down the cabinets in the kitchen, scrubbing the tub, etc. Of course I WANT my house clean, but bending, kneeling, squatting…. none of that sounds like something I could handle at this point! In comes the King of Maids. The King of Maids has locations in Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonia, Texas. This review is for the Chicago location.
We have a 3 bedroom 2 bath home (1 bath is under construction). Our home has a living room/dining room combo and a family room. We only had the maids do the main living area and not go into the basement at all. I was very happy to see the maids show up right on time. This is my first time ever having anyone clean my house, so it was a very strange feeling to me. The maids came in and asked for a quick tour and got to work. They brought all of their own supplies so I didn’t have to supply anything, not even a vacuum.
I ran to the store while they were cleaning and let me tell you how awesome it was to come home to a clean home! My ceiling fans look wood again instead of like some kind of fuzzy creature hanging from my ceiling! They cleaned all the cobwebs around the ceilings, wiped off baseboards, vacuumed all the rooms, and dusted all the dressers. In the kitchen they cleaned the microwave, stove, wiped down the cabinets and counters, cleaned the sink, swept and mopped the floor. In the bathroom they cleaned the tub, wiped down the sink, counter, and cabinet, cleaned the toilet and did the floor.
After the maids left, my husband said he’d really like to see us have someone come in once a month to do the cleaning we don’t get to. That would make a happy wife!! For my house, a one time clean is $139 to start. They offer discounts if you schedule monthly (10%), every other week (15%), or weekly (20%). They even offer a referral service which gets you $15 off your clean and your friend will get $15 off of their first clean as well.
I am offering a 20% off coupon code for your first clean. Use the code: FROSTEDFINGERS. Also I’m giving away a cleaning to one lucky Chicago resident.

I would definitely use King of Maids in the future, but unfortunately they don’t normally clean where I live. I’m pretty bummed about that!
Note: I was given a house cleaning in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. Giveaway ends 12/17/15. No purchase is necessary to win and will not increase your chances. Winner will be chosen randomly.
Congrats on the new baby! I just had one too so this maid service would be pretty awesome. Simple dusting and cleaning can really get away from you with a newborn. Fingers crossed on winning!
We would love to try out this company with a gifted service. We’ve tried a couple of different companies and haven’t found one that works best for us yet. Hopefully we win and give this a try. Thanks for the opportunity.
You’ve seen my place! would love some help getting organized.
I’d love to have someone get to the cleaning that I can’t get to ?
Not in Naperville yet, but hopefully soon! Any baby news yet?!
Having him next Friday!
Oh YES PLEASE. Would love to win this. My husband travels extensively and with two kids and two big dogs and very little time, my house desperately needs a good cleaning!!!!
Thanks for having this giveaway. It would be a tremendous help for me as well during the holiday’s busy craziness!
I’ve never tried a cleaning service before, but I could definitely use the extra help!
