Why People Choose Us for Standard House Cleaning in New York

Most folks find us becuase they're tired of cleaning companies that don't show up on time or do half the job. We hear the same stories every week. Someone paid for a "deep clean" and the baseboards still had dust. Or the cleaners rushed through in 45 minutes when it should take two hours. Here's what makes us different. We don't send random people to your place. You get the same team every visit. They learn where you keep things, what drives you crazy (like water spots on the bathroom mirror), and how you like your pillows arranged. Sounds small, but it matters. Our standard house cleaning New York, NY service covers everything you actually need done. Kitchen counters, appliances, floors. All bathrooms scrubbed top to bottom. Bedrooms dusted, vacuumed, beds made if you want. Living areas picked up and cleaned. We don't skip the little stuff like light switches and door handles - those things get gross fast in the city.

Deep Cleaning Services

Sometimes standard cleaning isn't enough. Maybe you just moved in and the previous tenant wasn't exactly clean. Or it's been a few months (we don't judge) and things got away from you. That's when you need deep cleaning services.

Deep cleaning means we get into all the places regular cleaning misses. Behind the fridge. Inside the oven. The grout between your bathroom tiles. Window tracks that probably haven't been touched in years. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, inside cabinets.

Move In/Move Out Cleaning

Moving in New York is already a nightmare. Dealing with brokers, timing the elevator, bribing the super. The last thing you want to worry about is cleaning. Move out cleaning is huge for getting your security deposit back. Landlords here are notorious for finding reasons to keep your money. We've helped hundreds of people get their full deposits by making sure the place is spotless. We clean inside all appliances, wipe down every surface, scrub floors on hands and knees if needed. Move in cleaning is just as important. Even "clean" apartments in the city usually aren't. We find dust bunnies under radiators, sticky residue in drawers, mysterious stains in closets. Before you unpack a single box, let us make sure your new place is actually clean. We did a move out clean last month in a rent-stabilized apartment in the East Village. The tenant lived there 12 years and was terrified of losing her deposit. Place needed serious work - grease buildup in the kitchen, bathroom that hadn't been deep cleaned in forever. Took our team eight hours. She got her full deposit back and sent us the nicest thank you note.

Recurring Cleaning Services

This is our most popular option. You pick a schedule - weekly, every two weeks, or monthly - and we show up like clockwork. Same team, same day, same time. You don't have to think about it. Recurring cleaning keeps your place from ever getting too messy. It's way easier to maintain a clean home than to let it go and then spend a whole Saturday scrubbing. Plus, you get a discount compared to one-time cleans. Weekly clients save about 20%, bi-weekly save 15%. We have clients who've been with us for years. There's a family in Park Slope we've cleaned for every Tuesday morning since 2017. They leave a key with the doorman, we let ourselves in, clean while they're at work, and lock up when we're done. They come home to a clean house and don't lift a finger. The recurring schedule works great for busy people. If you work long hours, have kids, or just hate cleaning (no shame), it makes life so much easier. Some clients do weekly for the main areas and then deep clean specific rooms monthly. Whatever works for your life.

One-Time Cleaning

Need a one time clean? We do those too. Common reasons people call us: Your parents are visiting and you need the place presentable fast. You're hosting Thanksgiving and your apartment is embarrassing. You've been sick and everything piled up. Spring hit and you realize your place is gross. Sometimes you just need help catching up.

One-time cleans are flexible. We can focus on specific areas if that's what you need. Had a client who only wanted us to tackle her kitchen and bathrooms because she could handle the rest. Another person needed us to clean out a hoarder situation in a spare room - that took two teams a full day. The pricing is straightforward. We charge based on your apartment size and condition. Studio or one-bedroom usually takes 2-3 hours. Two bedrooms around 3-4 hours. Three bedrooms or bigger, we're looking at 4-6 hours minimum. If the place is really messy, it takes longer.

Office Cleaning Services

We clean offices too. Small businesses, startups, medical offices, you name it. Usually after hours so we don't disrupt your work day. Office cleaning is different than homes. High traffic areas get dirty faster. Breakrooms can be disgusting (people are gross when it's not their own kitchen). Bathrooms need daily attention if you have staff and clients using them. We have a law office in Midtown we clean every weeknight. Five attorneys, two assistants, clients coming in and out all day. We vacuum, empty trash, clean bathrooms, wipe down the conference room table, dust surfaces. Takes about an hour and a half. They need it spotless because they're meeting with clients constantly. Lots of our office clients started as residential customers who liked our work. When you run a business in the city, you can't have a dirty office. It looks unprofessional and nobody wants to work in filth.

Apartment Cleaning Across New York

We cover all five boroughs but specialize in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and western Queens. Those are the neighborhoods we know inside and out. Every area has its own quirks, from Upper West Side pre-war buildings with large dusty windows to Financial District apartments with modern glass surfaces. Cleaning in New York means managing tight spaces, limited storage, and faster dirt buildup due to pollution and heavy foot traffic. We've cleaned everything from tiny Lower East Side studios to spacious Upper East Side three-bedroom apartments with marble finishes. Regardless of size or price, every home deserves thorough cleaning.

What Makes Our Standard House Cleaning Different

Most cleaning companies send whoever is available. You never know who's showing up or if they'll do good work. We built our business different on purpose.

We hire locals who understand New York's unique challenges and pay them well to ensure quality and consistency. Our team members live in the city and bring real insight to every cleaning.

New cleaners shadow experienced ones for two weeks and learn specific techniques for delicate surfaces. We focus on proper training to maintain high standards.

We use professional-grade products that effectively cut through grease and grime, with eco-friendly options available for sensitive households. Our supplies are chosen for performance and safety.

Common Questions About House Cleaning in NYC

How much does standard house cleaning cost?

Depends on your apartment size. Studios run $80-120. One bedrooms $100-150. Two bedrooms $140-200. Three bedrooms $180-250. These are ballpark figures - we give exact quotes after seeing your place.

Do I need to be home?

Nope. Most clients aren't home. You can leave a key with your doorman, give us a code, or leave a key in a lockbox. Whatever makes you comfortable. Some people like being there the first time to show us around and explain what they want. After that, most people leave.

What if something breaks?

We're insured and bonded. If our team damages something, we cover it. In eight years, we've had maybe five incidents. A broken picture frame, a lamp that got knocked over, stuff like that. We fixed everything immediately.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For one-time cleans, we can usually fit you in within a few days. Sometimes same-week if we have openings. For recurring service, the sooner the better to lock in your preferred day and time.

What if I need to cancel?

Life happens. We get it. Just give us 24 hours notice and there's no charge. Less than that and we charge 50% because we already scheduled our team.

Real Talk About Keeping Your Place Clean

Between cleanings, there's stuff you can do to make life easier. Wipe down your kitchen counters every night. Takes two minutes and prevents sticky buildup. Squeegee your shower after you use it - stops soap scum and mildew. Run your vacuum for five minutes every couple days in high traffic areas.

Why Standard House Cleaning New York, NY Matters

A clean home isn't just about appearances. It's about your mental health. It's hard to relax when your apartment is messy. It's hard to focus when there's clutter everywhere. Coming home to a clean space after a long day makes a real difference. Plus, cleanliness affects your physical health too. Dust and allergens build up. Bathrooms and kitchens can grow bacteria and mold if they're not cleaned regularly. Regular cleaning helps you breathe easier and stay healthier. We've had clients tell us that hiring us changed their lives. Sounds dramatic, but they're serious. One woman said she used to spend every Saturday cleaning and now she actually has weekends. A guy told us his anxiety got better when his apartment stayed consistently clean. Parents say they have more time with their kids instead of scrubbing toilets.
