How to Keep a Large Gladwyne Home Clean: A Room-by-Room Plan
Big houses on wooded Gladwyne lots need a cleaning plan, not just a cleaning. Here is how to rotate rooms, handle pollen and leaves, and keep lower levels fresh.
Read moreMerion Station is the first stretch of Lower Merion Township across City Avenue from Philadelphia, a neighborhood of stone colonials, Tudors, and spacious twins on leafy streets around the regional rail stop and Montgomery Avenue. It is close enough to the city line to feel connected to Philadelphia, but the houses are larger and the lots are greener, with many homes built in the early and middle twentieth century. That mix of older construction and bigger floor plans shapes how a house needs to be cleaned. Cris & Cleber Home Cleaning is a family-run company based in Northeast Philadelphia, and owners Cris and Cleber Santos serve Merion Station with recurring house cleaning, deep cleaning, and move-in and move-out cleaning. The owners are on every job and follow the same room-by-room checklist each visit. Tell us about your home and we will put together an estimate.

The short answer
Many Merion Station homes are solid stone colonials and Tudors with three or four bedrooms, a center hall staircase, a formal dining room, and a basement that often doubles as storage or a playroom. Tudors bring leaded glass windows, deep sills, and dark wood trim that show dust quickly. Older kitchens and bathrooms have tile with grout lines that need real scrubbing, not just a wipe. Twins on the smaller streets share a wall and usually stack bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, so stairs and hallways see constant traffic. We clean each home room by room, give the stairs, trim, and sills hands-on attention, and on a first deep cleaning in a larger house the owners bring one extra helper so every room gets the same detail.
Living this close to City Avenue and the busy roads into Philadelphia means more road dust and grit than you might expect on a quiet residential street, and it finds its way onto windowsills, entry floors, and porches. At the same time, the mature trees that line Merion Station streets drop pollen in spring and leaves in fall, which get tracked in from walkways and driveways. Older homes with radiators or forced air heat move a lot of dust once the heat comes on in winter, and basements can feel damp in humid summer months. We adjust each visit to the season, with extra attention on entries, vents, and damp areas when needed, and a deep cleaning in spring or fall is a good way to reset the whole house.
Merion Station sits right at the edge of the city, which makes it a natural part of the area we serve from our base in Northeast Philadelphia. With Cris & Cleber Home Cleaning you deal directly with the owners. Cris and Cleber are on every job, so you can tell them what to focus on, like the kitchen and bathrooms before guests, a finished basement that needs attention, or a room to skip this week, and it gets done that way. If you are moving into or out of a home near the train station, our move-in and move-out cleaning covers cabinets, appliances, bathrooms, and floors.
