Apartment Cleaning New York, NY - Keep Your Place Actually Clean

House Cleaning Fleet delivers thorough, reliable cleaning services tailored to busy New Yorkers across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Apartment Cleaning New York, NY

House Cleaning Fleet New York

Woman in Alphabet City called us two months ago completely overwhelmed. She works 60 hours a week in finance, lives in a tiny one-bedroom, and every surface was covered in dust and clutter. Hadn't properly cleaned in three months. Felt embarrassed having friends over. We got her on a bi-weekly schedule and now her apartment stays consistently clean without her lifting a finger. That's what apartment cleaning New York, NY does - gives you your time back and your sanity.
Started this business in 2011 because cleaning apartments in the city is different than anywhere else. Small spaces get dirty faster. You track in subway grime daily. Pollution comes through the windows. Old buildings have dust issues. New buildings show every fingerprint. The challenges are unique here and most cleaning services don't get it.
We get it. Been cleaning apartments across all five boroughs for over a decade. Small studios in the East Village. Big three-bedrooms on the Upper West Side. Modern high-rises in Long Island City. Walk-ups in Brooklyn. We've seen every type of apartment and every cleaning challenge this city throws at people.

Why Apartment Cleaning in NYC is Different

[Placeholder]

Living in New York means your apartment gets dirty in ways that don't happen elsewhere. Understanding this is half the battle.
The subway alone is responsible for so much dirt. Black grime on your shoes that you track in daily. Gets on your floors, carpets, rugs. You can mop twice a week and still see it building up.

Cleaning Challenges Specific to NYC Apartments

White radiator under a window in a room with a wooden floor and a gray armchair.

Radiator dust is a common issue in older NYC buildings, leaving black dust on surfaces during winter. We clean them thoroughly, though dust returns quickly due to radiator heat.

Kitchen with water damage to ceiling, cabinets, and walls; stained, yellow discoloration.

Kitchen grease accumulates rapidly in compact spaces with limited ventilation. Regular degreasing is essential to prevent sticky residue on cabinets and walls.

White bathroom with sink, toilet, and moldy wall tiles.

Bathroom mold thrives in poorly ventilated NYC apartments with small, windowless bathrooms. We scrub grout and apply mold-preventing cleaners to manage humidity effects.

Hard water stains from NYC’s mineral-rich water leave white spots on fixtures. We use specialized cleaners to remove buildup, though stains reappear quickly.

Pet hair spreads extensively in limited apartment spaces, requiring thorough vacuuming. Frequent cleaning is recommended for homes with cats or dogs.

City apartment carpets collect sand, salt, and grime from outdoor sources. Weekly vacuuming helps, but professional cleaning is needed occasionally to maintain freshness.

Making Apartment Life Easier in NYC

Living here is hard enough without adding cleaning stress to it. Tiny apartments, expensive rent, long work hours, constant grime from the city. Something's gotta give.

For most of our clients, what gives is cleaning their own apartment. They outsource it to us and get their evenings and weekends back. Makes their life measurably better.
We're not just a cleaning service - we're part of how people manage life in this city. Same as their coffee shop, their bodega, their dry cleaner. Services that make urban life work.

If you're tired of spending weekends cleaning, or your apartment is getting away from you, or you just want help keeping up - we can fix that.

Text or call us with your apartment size and neighborhood. We'll give you pricing and schedule your first clean. Usually we can get you in within a week or two, sometimes sooner.
