House Cleaning St. Louis, MO
House cleaning in St. Louis takes more than a mop — especially in the older brick homes near Forest Park, the craftsman bungalows in Webster Groves, and the pre-1960 construction throughout Kirkwood and Ladue. Clean Town & Country uses HEPA-filtered vacuums, pH-neutral cleaners safe for hardwood and limestone, and a background-checked team that shows up consistently.
Standard clean from $150. Deep clean from $300. Move-out from $450. No contracts.

Standard Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning: What's Right for Your St. Louis Home?
Choose a Standard Clean if:
- ✓Your home receives professional cleaning at least monthly
- ✓You want recurring maintenance after an initial deep clean
- ✓You are maintaining cleanliness, not restoring it
Choose a Deep Clean if:
- ✓This is your first booking with any professional service
- ✓Your last professional cleaning was more than 60 days ago
- ✓You have an older home with original hardwood and crown molding
- ✓Grout, baseboards, or appliance interiors need attention
Our recommendation: Always start with a deep clean. Once the baseline is established, standard recurring service maintains it efficiently. A standard clean in a home that needs a deep clean will not meet your expectations.
Our 4-Step Cleaning Process
HEPA Pre-Vacuum
Every visit starts with a HEPA-filtered vacuum pass across all hard floors and carpets. HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of particulate matter at 0.3 microns — the particle size that standard vacuums recirculate. This matters especially in older St. Louis homes where fine dust settles into original hardwood floor grain.
pH-Neutral Surface Clean
All surfaces are cleaned with pH-neutral solutions safe for limestone countertops, slate tile, hardwood trim, and cast iron fixtures — materials common in the pre-1960 construction found throughout Clayton, Webster Groves, and Soulard.
Microfiber Zone Protocol
Color-coded microfiber cloths by zone — one for bathrooms, one for kitchen, one for general surfaces. This prevents cross-contamination between bathroom and kitchen without relying on single-use disposables.
Final Walkthrough
A systematic room-by-room check at the end of every visit. You receive a notification when we finish. If anything was missed, we return within 24 hours at no charge.
House Cleaning for Ladue, Clayton, Webster Groves, and Chesterfield
St. Louis homes vary significantly by neighborhood and construction era. Here is how we approach the specific materials and architecture in each area:
Ladue and Town & Country
Larger homes, often 3,000–6,000+ sq ft, with limestone entry floors, hardwood throughout, and wrought iron details. We schedule 3–5 hour visits and bring 2-person teams.
Clayton
Mix of pre-war brick homes near Shaw Park and modern condos along Forsyth Boulevard. Different cleaning protocols for tile vs. hardwood vs. carpet — we adapt by room.
Webster Groves and Kirkwood
Classic craftsman and Victorian construction — original wood floors, crown molding, pocket doors. These homes require vacuuming before any mopping and careful attention to painted woodwork.
Chesterfield and Creve Coeur
Newer construction with larger square footage. We serve both newer suburban builds and homes near Faust Park in the historic Chesterfield Valley corridor.
Central West End and Soulard
Urban homes and condos near Forest Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden. We have clients in doorman buildings who leave keypad codes for access.
Ballwin and West County
Suburban family homes with carpet-heavy interiors. HEPA vacuuming and carpet deep-vacuuming standard on every visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning cost in St. Louis?

What is the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?
A standard clean covers all surfaces, floors, and bathrooms in their current accessible state. A deep clean adds baseboards, interior appliances, grout, window sills and tracks, cabinet interiors, and crown molding. First-time bookings should always be deep cleans.
Are your cleaners W-2 employees or independent contractors?
Direct employees of Clean Town & Country — not app-booked contractors. Consistent crew assignments, employer-side accountability, and workers compensation coverage.
Do you use HEPA filtration?
Yes. HEPA-filtered vacuums on every visit, capturing 99.97% of particulate matter at 0.3 microns. Standard protocol for all residential visits.
Who will be in my home?
The same assigned team each visit. Background-checked and covered by $2M general liability insurance.
What if I am not satisfied?
Not 100% satisfied within 24 hours? We return and re-clean at no charge. No contracts, no cancellation fees.
Do I need to be home?
No. Most clients use keypad or lockbox access. We notify you when the team arrives and when the job is complete.
Do you service Ladue, Chesterfield, and Clayton?
Yes. We serve the full St. Louis metro: Ladue, Clayton, Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Creve Coeur, Ballwin, Soulard, and surrounding areas.
What is the 80/20 rule for house cleaning?
It refers to focusing effort on the 20% of surfaces that generate 80% of visible dirt — kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic floors. Professional services apply this systematically.
How often should I have my house professionally cleaned?
Most St. Louis homeowners with families or pets benefit from bi-weekly professional service. Single-occupancy homes with regular upkeep between visits typically do well with monthly service.
