We have 40 years of experience in professional home cleaning, which has allowed us to develop advanced, thorough processes that deliver unrivaled, worry-free results. That's our specialty. We clean hundreds of thousands of homes across the United States and Canada, and even in other countries like the United Kingdom and Japan. Our Merry Maids team understands the importance of earning and keeping your trust, which is why we clean thoroughly and efficiently while respecting your space. Our 5-Star Promise represents our commitment to ensuring premium customer satisfaction with every single cleaning.

Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?

We know you strive to protect your kids’ and pets health and safety, and so do we! Merry Maids® uses environmentally friendly and pet-safe cleaning products.

Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

Yes, all Merry Maids® cleaners are insured and bonded so you can feel secure in your home cleaning choice.

How often should I schedule a deep cleaning service?

For most homeowners, a one-time deep cleaning every 6 to 12 months is usually sufficient. If you aren't receiving regular cleaning on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, you may want to schedule cleanings more frequently.

Can I ask for special requests or request focus on certain areas?

Yes! We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. If parts of your home are especially cluttered or untidy, our team can spend their time just on those areas so that you get the best value for your money. Common special requests we receive include: de-griming baseboards, cleaning inside cabinets, removing pet hair from furniture, and de-cluttering closets.

Professional Home Cleaners in Topeka, KS

Kim and Stanton Hinkly have been proud owners of Merry Maids franchises since May 2000. Their journey with the company began long before that — and it’s actually how they met!

Kim, a Kansas City native, started cleaning homes as a college student and quickly fell in love with the work and the people. She’s a loyal Chiefs, Royals, and Jayhawks fan who proudly calls NE Kansas home. Stanton grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and worked for the Merry Maids corporate office in Memphis, Tennessee. He’s a Cyclone through and through — and while his favorite football team had a lightning bolt on the helmet, well… options were limited in Iowa!

Over 25 years, they’ve built a life together around family, community, and a passion for helping others. Along the way, they’ve raised two kids, cared for a few dogs, played some regrettable rounds of golf, and managed their Merry Maids teams with heart and integrity.

Today, they continue to take pride in serving their clients and supporting their dedicated staff. For Kim and Stanton, Merry Maids isn’t just a business — it’s a way of life they truly love.

At Merry Maids, giving back is a core part of who we are. We’re proud to support organizations that make a real difference in the lives of people and pets in our community. Over the years, we’ve partnered with Pawsitive Tails to help rescue dogs find loving homes, and with Cleaning for a Reason, providing free home cleanings to individuals undergoing cancer treatment. We also support the Boys & Girls Club, helping to create safe, positive environments for kids, and we’re honored to donate our time and services to keep the Ronald McDonald House clean and comfortable for families with children in the hospital.

To us, being part of the community means more than just doing business — it means showing up, lending a hand, and making a meaningful impact wherever we can.
