MaidSimple offers house cleaning, priced up front, to homes in Santa Monica, California. Most of the housing here is apartments and condos, a large share of it built before 1979 and covered by the city rent control law. We work that stock and the larger houses north of Montana Avenue alike. Every cleaner is a W-2 employee, background-checked, with all supplies included. A typical 2 bed / 2 bath home is about from99.85 per clean. We cover 90401, 90402, 90403, 90404 and 90405.
Santa Monica is really several housing markets stacked inside eight square miles. North of Montana is large pre-war and post-war houses on deep lots. Sunset Park is 1940s and 1950s bungalows with detached garages off the alley. Ocean Park and Wilshire-Montana are dense with apartment buildings, a very large share of them built before 1979 and covered by the city rent control law. We clean in all three, and they are not the same job.
The rented stock changes the rhythm of the week. A lot of our Santa Monica work is one and two bedroom units, either on a maintenance schedule or as a move-out clean when a long-held apartment finally turns over. The owner-occupied side, especially the streets running up from Palisades Park, looks more like what we do in the South Bay: bigger houses, hardwood throughout, every other week.
Two extremes here, and not much in between. The apartment stock is mostly 1920s through 1970s one and two bedroom units: small kitchens, original bathroom tile, painted casement windows, wall heaters and a shared laundry room. The single-family side, particularly North of Montana and older Sunset Park, runs 2,000 to 4,000 square feet with oak floors, coved plaster and a detached garage. Beach sand reaches both, further inland than people expect.

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.
Details a crew only knows once they have worked a neighbourhood properly.
Much of the apartment stock predates 1979 and turns over rarely, so when a unit does empty out it needs a genuine reset: years of kitchen grease, original tile grout, closet shelving. Book those with a few days of lead time, not overnight.
Most residential blocks sit inside a preferential parking zone, and a permit does not exempt anyone from street-sweeping hours. Tell us your zone and sweeping day when you book so the crew is not moving the van halfway through your clean.
Homes ten and twelve blocks back from the water still collect beach sand in entry rugs, stair treads and along baseboards, and it abrades hardwood if it is only vacuumed. Ocean Park and Sunset Park visits include the entry and hallway edges every time.

The whole-home refresh most Santa Monica homes book: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and tidying.
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.
Yes, and a good share of our Santa Monica work is one and two bedroom apartments. Smaller units sit at the bottom of our range, and the quote comes from bedrooms and bathrooms rather than square footage. If you need a move-out clean at the end of a tenancy, book it as a deep clean so the crew has the hours the job actually takes.
Yes, within reason. Between preferential parking zones, the sweeping schedule and the school-run congestion on Lincoln and Ocean Park Boulevard, the first hours of the day are the least predictable part of a Santa Monica week. We group bookings into mid-morning and early-afternoon blocks so the arrival window we give you is one we can actually hold.
Yes. Those homes are typically 2,000 to 4,000 square feet with original oak floors, plaster walls and several bathrooms. We dry-dust and damp-mop hardwood with a pH-neutral product rather than wet-mopping it, and we use HEPA-filtered vacuums so the dust in older plaster and coved ceilings is not simply moved around the room.
