OUR STORY
26 Years. One Family.
One Standard.
Santana's Cleaning Service was founded in February 2000 with a single commitment: to deliver a level of precision that property owners, realtors, and facilities managers could rely on — without supervision, without reminders, and without exceptions.
THE SANTANA DIFFERENCE
What 26 Years Builds That No Franchise Can Buy
Santana's was built on a principle that still governs every service today: the client should never have to think about their cleaning. When a property manager calls Ricardo, they aren't submitting a ticket — they're speaking directly to the person responsible for the result. That accountability is the foundation of our 96% client retention rate, and it is not something you can replicate with a franchise system.
Over 26 years, we have served luxury homeowners, commercial landlords, property management firms, and Bay Area realtors who trust us with their most valuable assets. We are committed to being eco-friendly which reflects our commitment to the spaces — and the people — inside them. Our technicians don't rotate. They learn your property. That institutional knowledge is the Santana standard.

TRUSTED BY PROPERTY MANAGERS & REALTORS
"I had a large house that needed to be cleaned for sale, and I needed it to be move-in ready. The previous tenant had allowed years of dust and dirt to accumulate, and had many pets, so the place was quite dirty and smelled awful. Santana cleaning had the place sparkling and smelling fresh within 3 days. I didn't even have to replace the carpet because they did such a good job. They even consulted me on what was most important to clean for the sale of the home. I highly recommend them for their high-quality work, reasonable pricing, and excellent customer service."
