Proudly Serving College Area

Top-Rated House Cleaning in College Area, San Diego

Metla House Cleaning serving San Diego since 2022

You chose the College Area for SDSU game days at Snapdragon Stadium, the campus energy that spills onto College Avenue, and a central location where the I-8 and I-15 put you within 20 minutes of the beach, downtown, or East County. Spend your weekends at tailgates and campus events — not fighting East County dust off every surface in your home. The College Area surrounds San Diego State University, stretching from Montezuma Mesa on the west to El Cerrito on the east, with College Avenue as the commercial spine. The neighborhood has a dual identity — student rentals and apartments near campus, and established single-family homes on quieter residential streets near Rolando and Del Cerro. Accessible via the I-8 and I-15 interchange, it is one of San Diego's most connected neighborhoods. Housing reflects this duality. Near SDSU, apartments and shared rental houses see heavy use during the academic year. Further from campus, 1960s and 1970s ranch-style family homes serve as primary residences for faculty, staff, and longtime San Diegans. The warmer, drier climate compared to coastal San Diego means surfaces accumulate dust and pollen faster, and student rentals face additional wear from higher foot traffic and shared living. Metla serves the full College Area from the SDSU campus perimeter through Montezuma Mesa, El Cerrito, and the Rolando border.

The College Area Cleaning Challenge: Academic Turnovers & East County Dust

SDSU's academic calendar creates two major turnover peaks — May when leases end and August when new tenants move in. Properties need to be cleaned and ready quickly, often with minimal gap between move-out and move-in. Student rentals near campus need more intensive cleaning than standard residential turnovers — shared living means higher traffic, more kitchen use, and general wear across common areas. Beyond turnovers, the College Area's inland position means East County dust and pollen accumulate on surfaces faster than coastal neighborhoods. We use professional-grade vacuums and detailed dusting on every visit, focusing on blinds, vents, and windowsills where fine grit collects. Hard water leaves mineral deposits on shower doors and chrome — our cleaning targets these with appropriate products that dissolve buildup without scratching. For family homes in the outer neighborhoods near El Cerrito and Del Cerro, we adapt to the mix of original and updated materials — pH-neutral products on refinished hardwood, gentle techniques on vintage tile, and surface-specific cleaners on modern kitchen finishes. For deeper issues — heavy post-semester wear on floors, mineral buildup in fixtures, or full-property preparation between academic-year tenants — simply request this as a specialized add-on when booking and our team will come prepared.
