I'm not going to write the name or embed the email address of the business whose flyer found its way under my windshield wiper of my vehicle Friday night at the Oshawa GO lot because I'm not interested in providing free advertising for this 'start-up' through a Google search.
Generally stuff like this doesn't bother me, say, when I'm flipping through the Yellow Pages looking for podiatrists but I'm not crazy seeing something like this on my vehicle. I realize everyone has to make a living but c'mon ... people who clean houses for a living work for an honest wage. Why smut it up?
I'm fairly open-minded but this seemed too ridiculous to be true. So I emailed the "company".
Below is the correspondence.
Maid service

Hi
Got your flyer. Is the maid shown on the flyer available? She's exactly what I'm looking for and the reason why I'm interested.
I assume that the gist of this is that I have to be home when she shows up. How long to clean a 3,000 sq ft house with 3 bathrooms?
Will it require two maids? Or does the whole team show up?
I'm excited by this service. Why haven't I seen you on Dragon's Den? It's such a great idea.
Do you also have male maids? Or are you only after gentleman customers?
Regards,
CJ Smith

Hi,
We don't have that maid. However I do have some beautiful maids to choose from.
If your paying for this kind of service you definetly want to be their. Your home would be around 3 hrs. With 2 girls would cost $360.00.
Most people book for 1.5hrs. one girl at a cost of $135.00. Or 2 girls 1.5hrs. $225.00. We are also in the process of hiring male cleaner's.
Or we do offer reg. cleaning services and you wouldn't need to be their. That would also be 2 girls reg. clothes 3 hrs. at a cost of $120.00.
(I like how she said "regular clothes")
Thanks so much for your encouraging words

I really was hoping for the maid on the flyer.
Did she quit?
Is she overbooked?

Just spoke to my brother who wants to know what the fantasy is.
Are the girls pretending to clean the house cuz it can't be a fantasy if they actually work, right?
Are the maids open-minded?

The girls offer light house cleaning in a seductive manner. If you have any other question please let me know.
Thanks
Okay, I get it now!
Thanks! Will chat with my bro and let u know!
Yeah, I bet it's light house cleaning. Just some light polishing ... with a happy ending.

If they can't back up what they advertise, then good luck with the "business". I would have pushed them more about the maid in the photo. Far as anyone who falls for this knows, some washed-up peeler shows up, missing half her teeth and rocking a thong.
How about they at least attempt to be legit and advertise in the back of the Metro and 24 Hrs newspapers with all the other "classy" *cough* services.
sounds more like a spit and a polish. (and two bits). Sry, couldn't help mah self.
My favourite part is that they will "clean your home, Office or Car".
Too funny!
Imagine explaining THAT to the boss.
Imagine hiring her to clean the boss's office! Hellooooo large end of year bonus!
...or it could also make a funny prank.
come with a slow ride on a horse into the sunset oh boy I luv happy endings
A) I heard of this stuff before. Can imagine anything actually being cleaned.
B) Their whole pitch was lost on me. Drives me bonkers when people can't figure out the difference between Their, There and They're.
But, had they had male cleaners...
yeah having several spelling/grammatical errors in your responses really says "professional". (I'm a proofreader, I can't help it. I make SOME allowances for email but only some.) I think my house would feel dirtier after they left...
Nothing says professional like stealing a picture off google search to advertise your classy maid service. That and sticking flyers on car windshields.
I'm sure the "maids" look like that. In an alternative universe. Although some may find some old dear waddling up and down the stairs in a g-string attractive. And just wait until she takes out her falsies. Awite luv?
The "their" thing jumped right out at me too.
I'm still trying to figure out if there is any actual cleaning getting done???
I'm guessing the sheets will definitely be getting changed.
I wonder what an escort would charge for actual housework. What do you mean you don't do windows? Your ad said you do everything!
@Shirker
It depends what you mean by do. Do windows. Or DO windows. I'm pretty sure the second one would be considered an add-on extra.
Do they take PRESTO? Where do I tap on?
No, I hear they take MasterCard.
omg. I couldn't stop myself. Went to the website http://fantasyhousecleaning.com/ - scroll down and see who their "friends" are!!! (I'm too scared to click through THOSE links). URL is sfw. I'm at work, anyway.
p.s. I should clarify that URL is NOT for the same company exactly - a similar one! First one that came up in my google search...
They should have a WagJag offer to generate interest.
