I've tried four different cleaning services in Astoria. Maid First is the only one I kept calling back. They actually clean the things other people skip.

Moved out of my Upper West Side apartment last month. They did the move-out clean and I got my full deposit back. Worth every dollar.

My whole brownstone in Park Slope smelled like dust and old everything. After one deep clean from Maid First — completely different place. Incredible.

Sound Familiar?

You keep meaning to clean. You really do. But Saturday comes and you're exhausted. So you do a quick wipe of the kitchen counter, maybe vacuum the living room, and call it good. The bathroom gets pushed to next week. And the week after that.

Or maybe you just moved into a new place in Williamsburg or Harlem and it looked okay at first — but now you're noticing things. Sticky cabinet handles. Grout that hasn't been touched in years. A smell you can't place. Or you're getting ready to move out and suddenly realize you need the whole place spotless or you're losing that deposit. You're not lazy. You're just busy. And cleaning a New York apartment — especially a real deep clean — is a job. It takes time, supplies, and energy most of us just don't have. That's the problem. And we fix it.

Here's What We Do For You

We take cleaning off your plate completely. No prep, no supply runs, no figuring out what products work on your tile versus your hardwood. We handle everything.

You book online or give us a call. We show up at the time you pick. Our team brings professional-grade supplies and cleans your home from top to bottom — the right way. Then we leave. That's it.

What Actually Changes When Your Home Is Clean

It sounds small but it isn't. When you walk into a clean apartment on a Sunday morning — everything wiped down, floors done, bathroom sparkling — your whole week feels different.

Parents in the Bronx tell us their kids sleep better after a deep clean. Couples in Chelsea say they stop bickering about chores. People working from home in Astoria say they're more focused when their space is actually clean.

A new baby at home, zero time to clean. We signed up for biweekly service and honestly I don't know how we lived without it. The team is sweet with the baby and so careful. We trust them completely.

I'm a nurse working night shifts at a hospital in Queens. Cleaning was always the last thing I had energy for. Maid First comes every two weeks and it's one less thing I have to think about. Means a lot.

Hired them to do a deep clean before I listed my Flushing condo on the market. Realtor said it was one of the best-presented units she'd shown all year. Sold in four days.

Spring cleaning done. Our whole Bronx apartment smells different, looks different. The bathroom tiles haven't looked that clean since we moved in four years ago. Booking again for sure.

Questions People Ask Us All the Time

At Maid First House Cleaning Service, we address common inquiries to help you understand our coverage, pricing, and service details across New York City.

  • How far in advance do I need to book a cleaning service in New York?

    For standard or recurring cleanings, we usually ask for 48 to 72 hours notice. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — call us at (212) 920-7872 and we'll see what we can do. For move-out cleans or deep cleans, booking a week ahead is better, especially during peak seasons like spring and September when the whole city seems to be moving at once.

  • Is spring a busy time for cleaning services in New York?

    Very. March through May is our busiest season by far. After a long winter of keeping windows shut and running heat through old radiators, people open their apartments up in spring and realize how much has settled in. Dust, soot from radiators, general buildup — it all shows up at once. If you want a spring clean, book early. We fill up fast and we're not able to squeeze everyone in if you wait until April.

  • Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?

    Yes, always. We bring everything — commercial-grade cleaning products, vacuums, mops, microfiber cloths, all of it. You don't need to have anything ready. If you have a preference for specific products (like fragrance-free or pet-safe cleaners), just let us know when you book and we'll accommodate that.

  • Can I set up recurring cleaning service in New York, and is it cheaper than booking one-offs?

    Absolutely. Recurring service is actually the most popular thing we offer. Weekly service comes with 20% off every visit, biweekly saves 15%, and monthly saves 10%. Beyond the savings, recurring customers get priority scheduling and the same trusted team each time. Once you go regular, most people never go back to one-offs. It just makes more sense.

  • What if I'm not happy with the cleaning?

    Call or email us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix whatever wasn't right — no charge. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, we take it seriously. We'd rather come back and make it right than have a customer in Harlem or Bay Ridge feel like they wasted their money. Our reputation in this city matters to us and we back up every job we do.

  • Do you offer house cleaning services in my neighborhood in New York City?

    Yes — we cover all five boroughs. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We regularly clean in neighborhoods like Astoria, Park Slope, Harlem, the Upper East Side, Williamsburg, Fordham, Flushing, and Tottenville, among many others. If you're inside NYC, we can almost certainly get to you. Just enter your zip code when you book or give us a call and we'll confirm right away.

  • How much does a cleaning service in New York typically cost?

    For a standard cleaning in New York, most one- and two-bedroom apartments run between $99 and $150. Deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleans run higher — usually $149 to $260 depending on size and condition. NYC pricing is real: labor costs here are higher than in other cities, and we pay our team fairly. What you're paying for is reliability, trained cleaners, and professional supplies — not someone who disappears after one visit.

  • Do I need to be home when the cleaning happens?

    Most of our regular customers in Manhattan and Brooklyn give us a key or door code and aren't home at all. That's totally fine and very common. If it's your first time and you'd rather be there — also completely fine. Either way, we treat your home with care. Every cleaner on our team is background-checked and vetted before they ever step into a customer's home.

  • What's the difference between a standard cleaning and a deep cleaning in New York?

    A standard cleaning keeps your home clean week to week — surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen. A deep cleaning goes after the buildup that regular cleaning doesn't touch: inside the oven, behind the toilet, inside cabinets, baseboards, grout, under furniture. In New York's older prewar and brownstone buildings especially, dust and grime builds up in ways that only a proper deep clean can address. We usually recommend a deep clean first if you're a new customer, then standard cleanings to maintain it.

  • Do you do move-out cleanings for New York City apartments?

    Yes, and it's one of our most-booked services. NYC landlords are tough on security deposits — especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We know exactly what property managers look for during a walkthrough and we clean to that standard. Inside the fridge, oven, all cabinets, bathroom tile, closets — all of it. Lots of our customers tell us they got their full deposit back after we cleaned. We can't guarantee it, but we give you the best shot.
