Professional Home Cleaners in Lawrence, 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. Over the years, we’ve been honored to support organizations that make a real difference in the lives of people and pets in our community. We’ve partnered with Pawsitive Tails to help find loving homes for rescue dogs, and we proudly support Cleaning for a Reason, providing free home cleanings to individuals battling cancer. We’re also long-time supporters of the Boys & Girls Club, investing in the next generation and helping create safe, inspiring spaces for kids to grow and thrive.

Being part of the community means more than just doing business here — it means showing up, lending a hand, and doing our part to make life a little better for those around us.
