Join the Opening List →Clayton does not fit the usual picture of a St. Louis County suburb, and its housing numbers show it: only about a third of homes are detached houses, and almost half are in larger buildings.
This page covers what that mix means for cleaning a Clayton home, from a condo with a building elevator to a house that predates the Second World War.
Census estimates show about 49 percent of Clayton's housing units are in buildings of five or more units, and only about 32 percent are single family detached homes. About 45 percent of occupied homes are rented. That makes Clayton far more apartment and condo oriented than St. Louis County as a whole, where about 72 percent of units are detached houses.
Clayton is also where the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado first touched down, around 2:41 p.m., with damage reported near Fontbonne, Big Bend Boulevard and the Washington University campus before the storm moved east across Forest Park and into the city.
Clayton's housing is unusually split by age. About 35 percent of its homes were built in 1939 or earlier, and about 21 percent were built in 2000 or later. That gives two very different cleaning jobs.
In an older Clayton house, the work looks like the rest of historic St. Louis: tall trim, plaster, original floors and bathrooms with small tile. Painted sills in homes from before 1978 are wiped damp and never scraped, since many homes of that age contain lead-based paint. In a newer condo, the work is glass, stainless, stone counters and large-format tile, where streaks and hard water spots show more than dust does.
With about half of homes in larger buildings, many Clayton cleaning visits start at a front desk or a parking garage. Check your building's rules on visitors and service workers, arrange parking or a loading zone if the building has one, and leave clear instructions for how to reach your unit.
Condos and apartments also mean less floor space and more glass per square foot. Windows to the floor, shower enclosures and kitchen fronts take more of each visit than in a house of the same size. A bi-weekly plan suits most units; a one bedroom with one person may do well on monthly.
Close to half of Clayton households rent. When a lease ends, Missouri law gives the landlord 30 days to return the deposit or itemize deductions, and the tenant has the right to attend the move-out inspection. A Moving Clean the day before that inspection, which adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, is how many renters approach it.
