This year Regal Maid service takes the crown for the best cleaning service in the DC suburbs. Since 1992, this family-run cleaning company has been committed to reliability, honesty, and hard work, and it shows.

Their 20 years of dedication has resulted in an impressive and loyal client base that has been built mostly through referrals and that continues to grow each year.

Since 2007, the company has been operated by Joanne and Tim Hollindrake. With over 16 years of experience in customer service, Ms. Hollindrake believes strongly that customer satisfaction is vital to the success of any business. Before joining Regal Maids, Mr. Hollindrake owned and operated a successful cleaning business in England for more than 27 years. Together they work to ensure that every client receives individualized care for a truly unique cleaning experience. According to their website, the company boasts professionally trained staff who clean with an efficient and effective customizable system designed specifically for each client’s home.

Their high standard of service is certainly evident in what their clients have to say about them. The testimonials from their customers repeatedly laud the company for their thorough cleaning work, friendly service, reasonable prices, and, most importantly, their integrity. For this, Regal Maids was the recipient of a Super Service Award from Angie’s List in both 2010 and 2011.

The cleaning company is based in Sterling, Virginia and serves clients throughout the Northern Virginia area, predominately in Fairfax and Loudon counties. In addition to cleaning homes for individuals or families, Regal Cleaning also happily offers relocation cleaning services, commercial cleaning services, and referrals for specialized services including window and gutter cleaning. They work closely with sister company Regal Window Cleaning to provide clients with the same level of outstanding service for their exterior cleaning needs as well. Licensed, bonded, and insured for the safety and well being of their staff and clientele, Regal Maids also proudly help serve their community with their participation in the Cleaning for a Reason™ Program. As a partner in this program, they offer free house cleaning services to women who are undergoing cancer treatment.

Says President Joanne Hollindrake about the Regal Maids cleaning ideal, “We clean homes, not houses. This philosophy identifies the home as an extension of the owner. Underpinning this whole idea is the Regal Maid practice of personal in-home estimates where the homeowner can discuss at length their particular needs. Countless surveys over years of research have shown that homeowners want customized service for their home rather than a standardized system that does not cater to the requirements of the individual home. The Regal Maid Service provides an affordable and customizable service solution.”

Regal Maids offers gift certificates and is currently running a promotion for $15 off an initial clean and $10 off each the second and third clean. Additional coupons and promotional offers can be found on their website.
