Stanford is an unusual address: almost every home on campus sits on land leased from the university rather than owned outright, and the eligible residents are faculty, staff and students.

MaidSimple serves Stanford, California with house cleaning and recurring maid service. Campus housing runs from graduate apartments in Escondido Village to faculty houses on Frenchman’s Hill and older homes on the streets nearest the Quad. Tenancies turn over on the academic calendar, so June and September are the busiest weeks. Whoever comes is a W-2 hire, screened, and nothing needs supplying from your side. A three-bedroom is about from99.85 per clean. The campus ZIP is 94305.
The oldest campus houses sit on Alvarado Row, Salvatierra Street and the lanes off Mayfield Avenue: early-1900s wood-frame homes with porches, high ceilings and floors that have carried a century of students through them. Post-war subdivisions on Peter Coutts Hill and Frenchman’s Hill are ranch and split-level. Escondido Village is apartments and townhouses in blocks. The range is wide and all of it fits inside one ZIP code.
What is genuinely different here is the rhythm. Leases and appointments begin and end with the academic year, so demand for move-out and move-in cleaning stacks into a few weeks in June and September while the rest of the year runs steady. Campus parking is permit-controlled and many residential lanes are closed to through traffic, so access gets sorted before a booking rather than at a barrier.
Campus dwellings fall into three groups. Pre-1930 wood-frame houses near the Main Quad, 1,600 to 2,600 square feet, wood floors, tall sash windows, radiators in some. Mid-century faculty houses of 1,500 to 2,200 square feet on the hills, single-level, on slabs, with large windows. And apartment or townhouse units of 500 to 1,400 square feet, hard-floored, in shared blocks with laundry rooms and controlled entries. Peninsula water is soft, so scale is minor; dust off the surrounding open grassland is not.
No estimates and no ranges. This is what the quote form will tell you, worked out the same way.

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.
Knowing these before the van arrives is most of what makes a visit go well.
The last two weeks of June and the first two of September are the tightest bookings of the year. Housing hand-back inspections are specific about ovens, refrigerators and cabinet interiors, so reserve a move-out clean as soon as your end date is confirmed.
Much of the campus road network is restricted and visitor parking is enforced. Tell us the nearest legal spot and whether a permit is needed, and the crew will have it arranged instead of losing twenty minutes at a pay kiosk.
Graduate and staff apartments usually need a resident present, or an arrangement with the housing office to admit a vendor. Either works; both want setting up before the first visit rather than at the door on a weekday morning.

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.
Both. The work is the same either way, though a rental unit at the end of a tenancy needs a move-out standard rather than a maintenance clean: cabinet interiors, appliance interiors, closet shelves, window tracks and baseboards. Tell us which you need when booking, because the two visits differ by several hours.
Yes, and shared households are common here. It works best when one person is the booking contact and the shared spaces are agreed in advance: kitchen, bathrooms, living room and hallways as standard, with individual bedrooms added or excluded as the household decides. Everyone should know which rooms are in before the crew arrives.
Housing inspections look closely at the oven, the refrigerator, cabinet and drawer interiors, bathroom grout, closet floors, light fittings and the condition of window tracks and blinds. A move-out clean covers all of those plus baseboards and door frames. Marks that are damage rather than dirt cannot be cleaned away, and we point them out.
