Cleaning Lady Cleaned Out Liquor Cabinet, Williamsburg Woman Says

Geevee Snow posted photos of a cleaning woman passed out on the floor whom her roommate reportedly said was "beyond hammered."

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN -- A Brooklyn woman found her cleaning lady passed out drunk on her kitchen floor, according to witness accounts and reports.

Williamsburg resident Geevee Snow took to Facebook Monday to share a horror story of professional housecleaning gone wrong: her alcohol and ice cream had been devoured, a spice rack was smashed, keys were missing and a strange woman was lying unconscious on her kitchen floor, she wrote.

"They didn’t clean a thing, just drank all my liquor and f---ed up my home," Snow wrote. "My roommate came home to one of them blacked out face-down in our kitchen and the other long gone."

Snow did not immediately respond to Patch's request for comment, but told the New York Post the cleaning woman, whom she met through Joanna's Cleaning Service, caused $400 in damage during the Aug. 27 "cleaning" that cost $180 plus a $60 tip.

Kristen Nepomuceno, Snow's roommate, discovered the woman had drunk a bottle of Broker's Gin and most of a bottle of Kettle One Vodka when she came back from her job at Soul Cycle in the early evening, she told the Post.

Nepomuceno, 28, called 911 and by the time emergency responders arrived, the woman was alert and chowing down on some ice cream she found in the freezer, the Post reported.

The woman was "beyond hammered," Nepomuceno reportedly said.

Snow has since launched a social media campaign against Joanna's Cleaning Service after the company refused to provide a refund for an incident.

"STEER CLEAR!!" Snow wrote on Yelp. "Joanna refused to pay me back and I can't find a legitimate address for the business to take her to small claims."

But owner Joanna Sokolowska told Patch Snow has not been her client since 2017 and she should not be held responsible for what a former employee did.

"I work off my butt all these years and now I must face these false accusations," Sokolowska said. "That is a horrible mistake. I am very worried about my business."

Sokolowska said Snow has not been her client since 2017 and that the former employee, whom is identified in the Post report, started her own cleaning service after leaving Joanna's Cleaning Service.

Both Snow and Sokolowska have said they want to take the argument to small claims court: Snow still wants her refund and Sokolowska wants an end to the smear campaign.

“If there really are two Joanna’s Cleaning Services," Snow told the Post, "I want to know who owns both of them and where they are registered.”

"This is outrageous, this is absolutely not a person who works with us," Sokolowska said. "I already gave [Snow] all this information and she's still claiming that's me.

"I know she's upset and I'm so sorry about that, but she hired someone else."
