San Francisco at a glance

MaidSimple is a residential cleaning company serving San Francisco, California. Cleaners here are payroll employees rather than subcontractors, background-checked before a first shift. Housing runs from 1890s flats with three flights and no elevator to towers where the service lift has to be booked, so visits get scoped on rooms and floors rather than square footage alone. Honest pricing opens about $299.85 per clean. Coverage runs across every residential ZIP from 94102 to 94134, plus 94158.

San Francisco, from a cleaner's point of view

One address in Glen Park is a 1908 cottage with fir floors and a coal chute nobody has opened since the war. Two miles east, in SoMa, the same booking is a concrete-loft studio where the whole visit happens on one level and the hardest surface is a wall of glass. Both are ordinary here. That is why we take room counts and floor counts when you book instead of guessing from a square-foot figure, and why the crew that turns up carries kit for wood, tile and stone rather than one bucket of all-purpose.

Parking is the other constant. Almost every block in the city has a street-sweeping window, and much of the north and east falls inside permit areas, so arrival windows here are wider than they would be in a suburb with driveways. Households near Golden Gate Park and out toward Outer Richmond tend to book mornings; downtown buildings prefer mid-day, when the loading bay is free. Tell us which of those you are and the schedule sorts itself.

The building stock here

About two-thirds of the housing here predates 1940, which in practice means narrow lots, tall floor plans and stairs in nearly every home. Add the post-2000 towers along the waterfront and the stucco row houses west of Twin Peaks and you get three very different cleans under one city name. Fog on the western half keeps humidity up and window frames damp; the eastern hills stay dry and dusty. We price by bedrooms, bathrooms and levels because floor area alone tells us almost nothing.

What house cleaning costs in San Francisco

Real prices from the same engine behind the quote form above, not a range that moves once we see the place.

House cleaning prices in San Francisco, California by how the home is looking
How is it looking? Time we plan Per clean, recurring Just this once
Kept upCleaned recently 2 hrs $199.90every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks $235.18
Lived-inNormal life happens 3 hrs $299.85every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks $352.77
It’s a messNo judgement, truly 4 hrs $399.80every week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks $470.36

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.

Local details that change the job in San Francisco

The small things that decide whether a visit runs smoothly or runs late.

Street sweeping runs the calendar

Posted sweeping windows decide where a vehicle can legally sit, and they differ by block and by side of the street. Crews check the signage for your address in advance, which is why the arrival window is an hour rather than a promised minute.

Stairs are the default

Very few homes in this city are on one level with a flat approach. Equipment comes in on a single load and the visit is worked from the top down, so nothing has to be carried back up a flight that has already been cleaned.

Two climates, one city

The western half sits under a marine layer for much of the year and the eastern hills bake. That splits the work: damp reveals, grout and closet backs on one side of town, dust, glass and window tracks on the other.

How we work, in San Francisco and everywhere else

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.

  • Employed, background-checked cleaners — our own payroll, never a third party
  • Before-and-after photos of every room, sent to you
  • Honest pricing — you pay for the time it takes
  • Pay after the clean, in the app or online — no contract

Our own employees

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.

Asked and answered, San Francisco

The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and paying.

Do you clean flats and tenancy-in-common units?

Yes, and they make up a large share of what we do here. A flat is quoted on its own rooms, exactly like a house. Where several units share a stair, an entry hall or a street door, that common area can be booked and billed separately to the owners or the association rather than being folded into one resident’s price.

How do you treat old hardwood and unsealed tile?

With very little water and neutral products. Fir and oak boards in pre-war homes here are often lightly finished or shellacked, so they get vacuumed and then passed with a barely damp microfibre. Unsealed hex and encaustic tile is brushed by hand with a pH-neutral cleaner, never bleach, which brightens a joint once and then leaves it porous.

Can one account cover homes in different parts of the city?

Yes. Owners and property managers often run several addresses under a single login with one payment method, each quoted on its own rooms and building type. If two are reasonably close together we will try to schedule them consecutively, in one run rather than crossing town twice.
