A locally owned house cleaning company built on trust, consistency, and a genuine love for Charleston, West Virginia.
CharlestonWV Cleaning Service, operated by Mountaineer Cleaning Maids LLC, was started with a simple idea: house cleaning in Charleston should be easy to book, honestly priced, and done by people you can trust in your home.
Too many of our neighbors had been let down by no-shows, surprise charges, or a different stranger at the door every visit. We built our company to fix that. Every cleaner on our team is background-checked and trained on our checklist. Our pricing is flat-rate and shown up front. And we assign consistent teams so your home is cleaned the way you like it, every time.
We focus on one place: Charleston, WV. From South Hills to the East End, Kanawha City to the West Side, we clean the homes, apartments, rentals, and businesses of the people who make this city what it is.
We are proud to call the capital city home. Here is some of the history and geography that make Charleston special.
Charleston began as Fort Lee, a frontier outpost built in 1788 by Colonel George Clendenin where the Elk River meets the Kanawha. The town was formally established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1794 and named for Clendenin's father, Charles. Frontiersman Daniel Boone lived in the Kanawha Valley during those early years and represented Kanawha County in the Virginia legislature.
In the early 1800s the Kanawha Salines just east of town made the valley one of the largest salt producers in the young nation, drawing workers and river trade. Coal and natural gas followed, and the river, and later the railroads, turned Charleston into the commercial heart of the region.
After West Virginia became a state in 1863, the capital moved back and forth between Wheeling and Charleston before settling here for good in 1885. The current State Capitol, designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1932, is crowned by a gold-leafed dome that rises 292 feet, about five feet taller than the dome of the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
With roughly 48,000 residents, Charleston is the largest city in West Virginia and the seat of Kanawha County. It is the center of state government, health care, and law for the region, and home to landmarks like the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, Capitol Market, Haddad Riverfront Park, and the long-running Mountain Stage radio show.
Charleston sits at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha rivers, in a valley framed by the steep, wooded hills of the Allegheny Plateau.
The rivers shape everything about the city. Downtown and the East End stretch along the north bank of the Kanawha, the West Side sits across the Elk, and Kanawha City lines the south bank. South Hills, Fort Hill, and Edgewood climb the ridges above, with winding streets and homes that look out over the valley. Kanawha State Forest, more than 9,000 acres of trails and hollows, lies just minutes south of downtown, and three interstates, I-64, I-77, and I-79, meet here, making Charleston the crossroads of the state.
The climate brings four distinct seasons: warm, humid summers, colorful falls, cold winters with occasional snow, and springs that arrive with a heavy coat of pollen. River-valley humidity and morning fog are part of life here, which is why we pay special attention to bathrooms, basements, and window tracks where moisture and dust collect.
Every part of the city, each with its own character and its own cleaning needs.
Home to the State Capitol complex and some of the city's oldest and most beautiful houses. Historic homes with plaster walls, original hardwood, and lots of trim need a careful, detailed hand.
