Apartment Keepers Keep My Apartment

I discovered Apartment Keepers, my cleaning service, on Craigslist over a year ago and have been sane ever since.


As a Washington, DC, maid service, its fire and release.

I get the gang into my pad four-times-a-month, which is mostly weekly. They’re affordable, with my apartment working out to about $44.75-a-week.

They do a very good job and when I come home on Wednesday evening, my bed is made, the place is immaculate, and smells lightly of heaven.

One day while I was waiting for the Covad guy to come by and install my DSL I met the Apartment Keepers president, Daniel A. Simon. His Apartment Keepers is growing like stinkweeds.

He told me that the real missing piece in Washington is that young whippersnappers with loads of cash but no time end up wasting the time they do have with cleaning their pads and not using them as a place for recouperation and rest.

I am a mess and this indeeds keeps me sane. Although sometimes I do have a little bit of trouble mainting the place week-to-week, my Wednesday nights are indeed all about the R&R.

OCD packrats need not apply.

Oh, and the coolest thing is Daniel is all about the technology and it is possible to take care of the entire service sign up, all the follow-up, and everything short of getting them your house key, online.

We high-tech, a-type, over-earners and under players hate making phone calls and would just love to fire and release.

In the Apartment Keepers model, the housekeeping is a subscription service.

And I have to offer up this testimonial with glee. I just love it and it is indeed a permanent line-item in my budget.

I wish we had something like apartmentkeepers in our area. It would be well worth the outlay, for a professional firm like that to clean my house now that I’m single again, and work full time
