Woman says cleaning lady got drunk, trashed home

A New York woman wants answers after she says a cleaning service worker damaged her apartment, raided her liquor cabinet, and passed out on her floor.

But now, the cleaning service says the worker was not employed by them.


Her roommate, who discovered the worker and snapped this photo, called 911.

“I thought someone was dead,” Genevieve Snow said. “I didn’t know it was the cleaning lady at first. Because the apartment door was open, it could’ve been anyone.”

Snow says the cleaning lady had a story, but she wasn’t buying it.

“She sent me a page-long sob story about how this woman’s teenage daughter was pregnant and her husband just left her,” Snow said. “I mean, I feel for her, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to mess up my home.”

The workers hired through Joanna’s Cleaning Service caused over $400 worth of damage, even helping themselves to ice cream.

Officers did not file a report, noting no crime was committed as snow allowed them to enter.

Snow says that all she wanted was to be reimbursed, but instead, there was a mix-up with two cleaning services.

Apparently, another Joanna called her and claimed that the Joanna in the photo was her ex-employee who had launched her own cleaning service five years ago by the same name.
