Client Testimonials

“Our experience with Maharlika has been excellent. Jean does a wonderful job cleaning. The price was competitive, and the quality outstanding. In an industry that has a reputation for low wages, high-turnover, and low morale, Maharlika has created a win-win. Good jobs, decent wages, and outstanding value for the customer.” – Neil C., Brooklyn Creative League

“It was incredibly easy to get in touch with Maharlika, and while they only clean offices, they were able to send someone to help me prepare my house for move-in. Emma was incredibly punctual, thorough, and just a really wonderful person to work with – and I would love to work with her and Maharlika again! I can’t recommend them enough!” – Justine P.

“Damayan Cleaning Cooperative [now Maharlika] and their workers are a breeze to work with and have worked with us through the trying circumstances of an extended move-in period and continued construction. They’ve been great.” – North Star Foundation

“A super crew of 5 helped over the weekend to clean and organize a topsy turvy 5,000 sq ft. office that was in the middle of carpet installation. They did a terrific job and helped us meet our deadline!!” – Karen P.

“Damayan Cleaning Cooperative [now Maharlika] is an excellent 100% worker-owned home and office cleaning service. They are “green” cleaners and have OSHA training. Annie, who cleans our apartment, is pleasant, efficient, personable. She arrives on time and is very thorough, yet quick at the same time. Every room is left spotless and tidy (and I am a bit of a neat freak!). I enjoy her company (I work at home) and even my shy cats like her! Their fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend them for office cleaning!” – Laurie D.

“Damayan Cleaning Cooperative [now Maharlika] is the office cleaning service we use in our office in Manhattan. The workers are professional, trustworthy and very dependable. All the staff are very happy and satisfied with their services and work ethics.” – Rose A
