Under the redwoods at Felton the sun reaches the ground for a couple of hours a day, and the damp never fully leaves. Mildew, moss and needle litter are the standing brief here.

Homeowners in Felton, California book MaidSimple for house cleaning and maid service. Everyone who works a house here is a W-2 employee, checked before hire. The San Lorenzo Valley stock is small and old: cabins and cottages of 800 to 1,400 square feet, wood interiors, wood heat, most of it on well and septic. A lived-in home is about $299.85 per clean; a small cottage takes fewer hours. The residential ZIP is 95018.
Shade does something to a house. In Felton Grove and along the flats by the San Lorenzo River, and up the lanes toward Zayante and Glen Arbor, the canopy never lets a roof dry out properly. Bathrooms hold moisture for days. Grout goes dark. Window frames grow a green bloom on the north side. Books and shoes in a back closet pick up a smell that no amount of surface wiping fixes. Cleaning here is partly a moisture-management job, and pretending otherwise wastes the visit.
Then there is what comes in on foot. Redwood needles and duff, bark, and the fine brown dust that lives under the trees: it is on the deck, then the doormat, then the hall, then the rug. Add a wood stove running from October, and there is grey ash on every high shelf as well. Homes toward Mount Hermon and Graham Hill sit a little drier and higher; the river flats do not.
Small footprints, complicated insides. A lot of the valley began as summer cabins and was winterized later, so you get 800 to 1,400 square feet arranged over odd half-levels, with knotty pine or fir walls, exposed beams, a sleeping loft reached by a ladder-stair, and a bathroom squeezed under a slope. Floors are usually wood or vinyl, rarely carpet, because carpet and damp do not mix here. Almost nothing is under an HOA. Well water and septic are the norm, and both change how a crew works.
Straight from the quote engine. There is no walkthrough that revises these upward.

You pay for the time it takes: the hours we plan at $99.95 an hour for every recurring clean, or $117.59 an hour just once. Supplies and equipment included. Anything extra you tick — inside the oven, the fridge, baseboards in full — adds its time at the same rate, and a deeper clean or a move-out is simply more hours. Slide the hours before you book if you know your home better than we do.
The operational stuff nobody advertises, which is exactly what matters on the day.
Grout lines, window reveals, the underside of sills and the back of a closet all bloom in this valley. Wiping is not enough. Those spots need a treatment that kills the growth rather than smearing it, and a rhythm of visits that stays ahead of it.
From the first cold week the stove puts a soft grey coat on beam tops, light fittings and anything above eye level. Those surfaces are not in most cleaning routines. In Felton they are in ours, from October through April.
A tank and leach field cannot absorb an afternoon of heavy rinsing. Crews here work with microfibre and measured water rather than flooding floors, keep bleach out of the drains, and hold the total volume down. It protects the system and cleans just as well.

How it works →Baseboards, inside appliances, grout and vents — the same clean with more hours, at the same rate.
How it works →Empty-home cleaning for deposits and handovers — more hours, the same rate.
How it works →Weekly, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks, at the advertised rate every clean.
How it works →Most cleaning companies send whoever is available that day. Our cleaners are our own background-checked, W-2 employees — which costs us more in payroll tax and workers’ comp, and is exactly why the standard holds: we employ them and dispatch them ourselves.
Every maid is on our payroll and background-checked before she sets foot in your home. If anything’s not right, tell us and we come back and put it right — you don’t pay twice.
The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and paying.
Almost certainly, and if not the crew parks at the top and walks in. Narrow single-lane sections, low branches and a gravel drive with no turnaround are all ordinary in this valley. Tell us in the booking notes what the last two hundred yards look like and there will be no surprise on the morning.
A lot, though it takes more than one visit. We treat the growth at source in bathrooms, window reveals and closet backs, work the surfaces that hold moisture, and clear the soft furnishings that have absorbed it. Keeping fans running and the house aired between visits does the rest. A first deep clean makes the biggest difference.
We can remove it and slow its return. Valley well water is mineral-heavy, so shower doors, tiles, taps and toilet bowls scale quickly. Descaling is standard on Felton visits rather than an add-on. Between cleans, a squeegee across the shower glass after use buys you a surprising amount of time.
