Keeping Soulard’s 1800s Brick Homes Clean, Room by Room
Soulard is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, and its housing shows it: red brick row houses, two-family flats and narrow homes built in the 1800s, many of them rehabbed with open kitchens, exposed brick and original wood floors. Exposed brick sheds fine dust, old floors have gaps that hold grit, and steep, narrow staircases are easy to skip when you are tired after work.
Living close to the market, the brewery and the bars means a lot of foot traffic and a lot of visitors. Weekends during festival season, and especially around Mardi Gras, can leave entryways, kitchens and bathrooms needing real attention. Small backyards, courtyards and alley entrances bring in dirt too. A recurring cleaning plan keeps these older homes comfortable without asking you to spend Saturday mornings scrubbing, and the same team learns the quirks of your stairs, floors and layout.

Soulard Cleaning Services for Rehabs, Rentals and Party Weekends
Biweekly service suits most Soulard households, with weekly visits popular for homes that host often. For a freshly rehabbed house or one with years of built-up grime, a deep cleaning visit handles construction dust, old window sills, baseboards and the inside of appliances before regular service starts.
Many homes here are two-family flats or rentals, so move-in and move-out cleaning comes up often for owners and tenants alike. Hosting a crowd for a festival weekend? Book a visit for afterward, and add extras like inside the refrigerator or oven from our add-on services list. Our teams are fully bonded and insured, background-checked and pet-friendly, which matters when you are handing over keys to a historic home.

Keeping a Soulard Home Clean Through Market Days and Game Days
Soulard is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the city. Saturday mornings at the farmers market, baseball season traffic near the stadium and neighborhood events all bring people through the streets. For homeowners, that means foot traffic, guests and more cleaning than most people expect from a house this size. Mardi Gras season and festival weekends add even more activity to the blocks around the market and LaSalle Park, and the evidence tends to come home with you. Narrow staircases, exposed brick and tall windows also make older Soulard homes look dusty faster than newer houses. Steep steps and tight halls mean it is hard to keep up when you are busy. Regular visits from a team that already knows your home keep all of that in check, and they let you say yes to last-minute guests.
Spring and summer are especially busy. Windows stay open, front stoops collect grit, and friends come over after games or market trips. Kitchens and bathrooms in small row houses work hard during those months. Later in the year, the heat comes on and dust starts collecting on vents, radiators and window trim in older homes.
Our teams know south city well and also clean in nearby Benton Park, Tower Grove and South City. If you want a little extra help during the busiest months, consider adding services from our add-on list, like inside the fridge or interior windows, to a regular visit. Steady upkeep makes the busy seasons much easier to enjoy.

Soulard House Cleaning Questions From Local Homeowners
Not necessarily. You can be home to let the team in, or you can leave a key, share a lockbox or door code, or give alarm instructions. Many Soulard clients choose a key so the team can come in while they are at work. Add your access and parking details to your booking notes.
Yes. Move-out cleaning is popular with Soulard landlords and property owners who need a unit ready for the next tenant. The team cleans kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, inside appliances, floors and baseboards. If you own a two-family building, let us know which unit needs cleaning and how the team should access it.
We are a pet-friendly company and our teams are used to dogs and cats. Let us know about your pets when you book, including whether they should stay in a certain room or crate. Our teams pay extra attention to pet hair on floors, rugs and furniture, which matters in small homes.
Yes, and it is a good idea to book ahead because those weekends fill quickly. A post-event cleaning focuses on floors, entryways, kitchens and bathrooms where guests leave the most behind. Let us know the date early and tell us about any spills or extra areas, and we can add items like inside the refrigerator to the visit.
Exposed brick collects dust and cobwebs in its texture and mortar lines. We dust and vacuum brick surfaces with soft attachments rather than soaking them, since older brick and mortar can be sensitive to water and harsh cleaners. If your brick has been sealed, tell us when booking so the team knows how it was treated.
We can. Many Soulard owners live in one unit and rent the other, or own both as rentals. We can set up recurring cleaning for your own unit and schedule move-in or move-out cleaning for the rental side between tenants. Each unit is quoted on its own based on size and condition.
Most homes do well with biweekly visits. If you entertain often, have pets or live in a home where exposed brick and old floors shed dust quickly, weekly service keeps things under control. Monthly works for smaller homes that stay tidy. Our free instant online estimate shows how frequency affects your price, or call (314) 229-1736.
Not at all. Our teams are used to older city homes with tight staircases and street parking. Just let us know the best place to park or whether alley access is easier. We carry what we need up and down carefully and clean each stair, railing and landing, which are often the most neglected spots in these homes.
