Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I found this company hiring $15 an hour back in December, I thought it was a good come up through the economic struggle, It is a black owned business that has been established since 1997, The owner tries you with work demos to see if you fit the cleaning position, It only took me 2 places to get hired, it normally takes 3 demos. You are recieving the pay as well ($15 an hour), as time went by I asked when was payday and when should I inspect it,he would tell me that he had to talk to his hr dept (never had any info anyone but him)

to find out when and they were also changing their payroll system to prepaid debit instead of checks, so I gave him time, along with a continuance of working at sites, a month has passed and still no money, I call, text and leave voice messages, and he refuses to respond he did answer from another number I calledhim from and pretendedlike he was ging to fix tis matter, his business address is a p.o. box and I am really getting frustrated. This guy is ripping possible hirees for a free clean up, I am sure 100% that the clients are paying him for the services they provide. This guy is a true conartist and he has a nerve to have law enforcement background, Its a shame!

This is a black owned company suppose to be run and owned by a so called ex-cop Mr. Jay Johnson who is nothing but a liar and conartist.  He does not pay you for work.  He gives excuses after excuses as to why he hasn't paid you.   He lies and put you off time after time and never comes through with your money.  Mr. Johnson will not answer phone calls and his so called staff will not answer.   The company address is a PO Box Number so you can't go to the company to get your money.  After reading all of the rip off reports, Mr. Johnson had done this before to other girls working for him.   Something needs to be done about this.   Don't give Soft Cloth Cleaning your business and definitely don't work for the company.  This man is a true conartist and something needs to be done to stop him.   He is a liar, thief, and will try to get whatever he can from you but won't pay you for your work.   He will lie and will never pay you.  A report also says Mr. Johnson is not the real owner of the company, it is owned by someone named Angela Byrd-Wright, principal of school in Virginia.   She needs to be contacted to get our money.

It's a shame that individuals can come on the internet and just write anything in an attempt to ruin a company because they are bitter.

I was casually doing a search on the web for something non-related, when I came accross these terrible accusations. My name is Saundra Peterson and I have worked for this company for 8 plus years. In the 8 years that I have been with the company, I have never seen a negative write up about the company or its owner. The comany has been in business since 1997 without one negative complaint in a forum such as this. But, now I see that all you have to do is fire someone for theft and then they have the power to write anything they want on the internet whether its true or not.

I know exactly who all three of you are. Every one of you were dismissed for stealing from a customer's home. Why would you then come on the internet and make up stories because you were terminated? Even the employment ad that you responded to before being hired advised that the company pays "up to $15 and hour" based on experience. It didn't say that you would walk in the door making that amount straight off the street, unless you are qualified. As well, any pay that you didn't receive was applied to the restitution that you had to pay for the theft that you acknowledged. You even signed paperwork in agreement to any money or restitution that would be owed for theft or equipment replacement. This documentatin is also on your last paysheet. What's even worse, is that one of the houses that you stole from had the entire incident on hidden video. I'm refraining from posting your names in hopes that you get your lives together. I'm quite sure if I posted your names, it would keep you from being employed in any position of trust.

As for your calls not being returned, you were advised that all communication going forward would only be by email so that there is a written record of exchanges.

OMG WE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION!

Hello, what is your name? My girlfriend and I, two girls, we are in the same situation as you. The other day we finally met with him to tell him we quit, and he wanted our aprons before we came, and then he told us he will give us a check this Monday, which just passed. He He ignores our calls, texts, emails, everything. And before this, he did not pay us either. Just a couple 20s once or twice in cash. But, not what he really owed us. We have been calling him like crazy and his office too. This is crazy. We have been with his company for almost 2 months, and although he gave us barely any work, he still owes us a good amount of money. This is ridiculous. I wish the police could just arrest him! At least I have all the texts messages from him saved on my phone. Jay, we will get you! Don't think that we are just giving up!
