Ballwin is a town of 1970s family houses along Manchester Road, mostly owner occupied, with four bedroom floor plans, a monthly bulky trash day and the Meramec River bluffs of Castlewood next door.
Ellisville has the most varied housing in the St. Louis West area: detached houses, townhouses and large apartment buildings side by side, with more renters than its neighbors and free weekly recycling for every house.
Town and Country has the highest home values of the St. Louis West suburbs and grew from a farming town on Clayton Road. Its large, owner occupied houses call for careful work on fine finishes.

Chesterfield is a city of large, mostly owner occupied houses. Nearly half of its homes have four or more bedrooms, and the median house went up in 1982. That combination shapes almost everything about keeping a home here clean: lots of rooms that see light use, several bathrooms that see heavy use, and a yard and driveway that feed mud, pollen and road grit to the front door in every season.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to Chesterfield, it will bring three things to this part of the St. Louis area: the Recurring House Clean on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly plan, the One-Time Deep Clean, and the Moving Clean for an empty home. This page walks through what local homes need, how the Missouri weather changes the work month to month, what each clean will cost by home size, and which neighboring towns are on the list.
Census estimates put the median Chesterfield home at 1982, with about 63 percent of housing units single family detached and another 12 percent attached homes such as townhouses. About 78 percent of occupied homes belong to the people living in them. The neighbors follow the same pattern with small shifts: Ballwin's median house dates to 1976, Ellisville's and Town and Country's to 1983, and Wildwood's to 1992, the newest of the group.
The bigger story is size. About 47 percent of Chesterfield homes have four or more bedrooms, and in Wildwood that share climbs to about 64 percent. In a house that large, the cleaning plan matters more than the cleaning products. Guest rooms and formal spaces need a light dusting, while the kitchen, the main bathrooms and the floor from the garage door to the family room need real attention every visit. A good recurring plan treats those two zones differently instead of spending equal effort on every room.
Lambert Airport records about 41.70 inches of precipitation in a normal year, spread over roughly 71 days with at least a tenth of an inch. April, May and June are the wettest stretch, each close to 4.5 to 4.8 inches, which is when entry rugs, mudroom tile and the baseboards nearest the back door take a beating.
Summer turns hot fast. St. Louis averages about 47 days a year at 90 degrees or warmer, 16 of them in July, when the normal high sits near 89.6 degrees and the overnight low near 71. Air conditioning runs constantly, and the dust it moves settles on ceiling fan blades, vent covers and the top of every door frame.
Then the pollen shifts. Common ragweed blooms across Missouri from July into November and drives late summer hay fever, while cottonwoods along creeks and river bottoms shed cottony seed in May and June. Winter brings about 16.6 inches of snow in an average year, with January the snowiest month, and about 85 nights at or below freezing. Salt and grit on boots become the main floor problem from December to March. The seasonal cleaning calendar and the winter cleaning guide break this down in detail.
Two Missouri insects show up inside local homes every autumn. Asian lady beetles are established statewide and often gather inside in large numbers late in the fall, where they can leave a yellow fluid that stains walls and fabric. Brown marmorated stink bugs work their way through cracks and openings around the same time to spend the winter indoors.
The Missouri Department of Conservation recommends vacuuming lady beetles rather than sweeping them, because a broom tends to make them release that staining fluid. Cleaners will follow the same rule on window sills, light fixtures and corners where the beetles collect. Ticks are the warm weather counterpart: most Missouri species are active from April through July, and dogs that roam a wooded yard can carry them in. The pet hair cleaning guide covers what that means for floors and furniture.
Prices are flat and follow bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, not the ZIP code. A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean for a three bedroom home will run $256.00 per visit, and it covers kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting each time, reachable baseboards and blind slats included. Most plans start with an Initial Deep Clean so later visits begin from a clean baseline.
The One-Time Deep Clean runs $311.00 to $690.00 depending on size. It adds hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans, light fixtures and vents wiped in place, degreased cabinet fronts, detailed faucets, soaked stovetop grates and shower glass treated for hard water spots.
The Moving Clean is for an empty home and adds the inside of the oven, the refrigerator and the cabinets. A five bedroom Moving Clean will run $817.00. With about 22 percent of Chesterfield homes rented, it will matter to tenants handing back keys as much as to sellers. Full rows for every size are on the house cleaning cost page.
Ballwin grew along Manchester Road, the old overland route toward Jefferson City, and its homes are a little older than Chesterfield's. Wildwood incorporated in 1995 to protect open space, native woodland and rural roads, so its houses sit on bigger, wooded lots. Ellisville has the most mixed housing of the group, with townhouses and larger apartment buildings next to detached homes. Town and Country grew out of the farming town of Altheim along Clayton Road and today has the highest home values of the four.
Chesterfield Valley, once farmland called Gumbo Flats, flooded when its levee failed in July 1993, and the rebuilt levee is now designed for a 500-year flood.
