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 insured, and nothing needs supplying from your side. A three-bedroom is $265 flat. 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.

Flat prices for a lived-in home, supplies and equipment included. A tidier home prices lower and a weekly plan saves 15%; the form above works out your exact number in about a minute. Prices are identical everywhere we work — your ZIP code does not change the number.
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 detail work that resets a home.
How it works →Empty-home cleaning judged against a landlord’s checklist, for deposits and handovers.
How it works →Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits from the same team, at a standing discount.
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.
If anything’s not right, let us know within 24 hours and we’ll come back and re-clean it — completely free. No forms, no fuss, no fine print.
The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and the guarantee.
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.
