Lots in Sonoma are generous by Bay Area standards, and a lot of the houses on them are old: adobe-era downtown, then a century of infill spreading out from the eight-acre Plaza.

MaidSimple is a residential cleaning company serving Sonoma, California. Anyone we send has been background-checked and is employed directly by us, with insurance and a bond behind them. Homes near the Plaza tend to be older, low and set on big lots, often with tile or brick floors and rooms that open onto a courtyard. The subdivisions south and east are newer and more conventional. A fair number are second homes needing a clean before the owners arrive. Rates begin at $265. The city and its valley sit in 95476.
The Plaza is the reference point for everything here. General Vallejo laid it out, and the street grid still runs off it. Houses on the blocks around East Napa Street and Fifth Street West sit back from the road on lots wide enough for a real garden, and many are single-story with thick walls, deep window reveals and floors of tile, brick or wide board. They stay cool in August and slightly damp in February, and both of those matter.
Away from the center, Sonoma turns into something more ordinary: postwar and 1980s subdivisions toward Temelec and along Broadway, with layouts you would find anywhere. What is not ordinary is how many houses are only lived in part of the year. Owners who spend a few weeks here at a time want the place opened up and ready rather than tidied, and that shapes a good part of our week in this town.
Older Sonoma houses run low and wide: one story, 1,400 to 2,400 square feet, hard floors throughout and a lot of exterior doors, which means more thresholds, more glass and more tracked-in grit than a comparable house elsewhere. Newer subdivisions bring carpet, drywall and two-car garages. Lots are large enough that gardens are a real presence, so leaf litter, spring pollen and dry grass seed all come indoors. Winter damp collects in tiled bathrooms with no extractor fan.

Details a crew only knows once they have worked a neighbourhood properly.
Many older houses have unglazed tile or brick laid decades ago, and the sealant is long gone. Those floors want a controlled amount of water and a neutral cleaner, not a full mop bucket, or the joints stay wet for hours afterward.
Owners who arrive for a few weeks usually want the visit the day before, with beds made and the kitchen ready. Tell us the date when you book and the crew treats it as a fixed appointment rather than a flexible window.
Big lots mean oak leaves in autumn, grass seed in July and a constant traffic of both across the door mats. Entry areas, thresholds and the first two rooms take the brunt and get worked harder than the back of the house.

How it works →Most cleaning companies send whoever is available that day. Our cleaners are our own trained, vetted, W-2 employees — which costs us more in payroll tax, workers’ comp and training, and is exactly why the same people come back to your home and the standard holds.

The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and the guarantee.
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do around the Plaza. The usual pattern is an opening clean before you arrive, regular visits while you are here, and a closing visit after you leave so the house is not shut up dirty. We can work from a lockbox, a keypad or a neighbor who holds a key.
With as little water as possible. Unsealed tile and brick absorb whatever you put on them, so we use a damp mop and a pH-neutral product rather than flooding and extracting, and we go over the joints with a brush where dirt has packed in. If the floors were sealed recently, tell us and we will adjust.
Yes, and it is common here. Detached cottages and converted outbuildings count as separate space in the quote because they have their own bathroom, kitchenette and floors. Booking them alongside the main house on one visit costs less than two separate appointments, so add the room count when you book.
