I have a toddler and two dogs. I was nervous about harsh chemicals. Maid First used green products and my apartment has never been cleaner. Genuinely shocked.

They cleaned my whole Brooklyn apartment before I moved in. Every corner. I didn't have to worry about what was left behind by the last tenant.

You Come Home And The Place Still Smells Like Chemicals

Here's something nobody talks about: a lot of "clean" homes aren't actually clean. They just smell like bleach and artificial fragrance.

You hired a cleaning company, paid good money, and now your kitchen smells like a swimming pool. Your kid keeps rubbing her eyes. Your dog won't go near the bathroom.
That's not clean. That's just covered up. New York City apartments are small. When someone sprays a chemical cleaner in your bathroom, that smell goes everywhere. And if you have kids, pets, or allergies – it stays with you long after the cleaner leaves.

What Changes When You Start Using A Green Cleaning Service

The first thing people notice is the smell – or actually the lack of it. Your home just smells... clean. Not perfumed. Not chemical. Just fresh air and a clean space.
Then they notice their kids stop complaining about the smell. Their pets act normal again. Their allergies calm down a bit.
After a few regular cleanings, they stop thinking about cleaning at all. They come home on Friday, the place is spotless, and they can actually enjoy their weekend instead of spending Saturday morning scrubbing the bathroom.
One of our regular clients in Jackson Heights told us: "I used to dread cleaning days because of the smell. Now I actually look forward to coming home after you guys visit." That's what a good green cleaning service New York should do. It shouldn't just clean the visible dirt. It should make your home feel like a safe place.

Booked a deep cleaning before my in-laws came to visit. I was embarrassed by how dirty my oven was. They cleaned it perfectly. My mother-in-law actually complimented how clean the apartment was. First time that's ever happened.

Questions People Ask Us All The Time

[Placeholder]

  • I live in a small NYC apartment – is a deep cleaning worth it for a studio?

    One hundred percent yes. Studios in neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen or Murray Hill get used hard. The kitchen, bathroom, and living area all share a small space, which means grease, soap scum, and dust build up faster than in a bigger home. A deep cleaning for a studio takes a few hours and makes a dramatic difference. Tenants who do it before moving out consistently report getting their security deposit back. And for people who just moved in, it gives you a genuinely clean start instead of inheriting the last person's mess.
  • How do I know your green products actually work? I've tried eco cleaners and they weren't great.

    We hear this one a lot, and it's a fair concern. The truth is, not all green products are equal. We use commercial-grade, eco-certified cleaners – not the stuff you find at the drugstore. These are products that professional cleaning companies use, tested and rated for effectiveness. Our team is also trained to use them correctly, which makes a big difference. We've cleaned apartments in pre-war buildings on Riverside Drive that hadn't had a professional cleaning in years and gotten them spotless using only green products.
  • What should I do before the cleaners arrive?

    You don't need to clean before we come – that's our job. But it helps to pick up any personal items, clothes, or toys off the floor so we can get to the surfaces underneath. If you have a specific area you want us to focus on, just leave a note or mention it when you book. We also ask that you let your doorman or building staff know we're coming, especially in doorman buildings in Midtown or the Upper West Side where you might need to sign us in or register us with the front desk.
  • Do you offer any discounts for recurring green cleaning service in New York City?

    Yes. Our recurring customers get automatic discounts on every visit – 20% off for weekly service, 15% for bi-weekly, and 10% for monthly. These add up fast. A bi-weekly cleaning that starts at $160 ends up being $136 per visit with the discount applied. Many of our Brooklyn and Queens customers started with a one-time cleaning, loved the results, and signed up for recurring service within the first month. It's the most popular thing we offer.
  • What if I'm not happy with the cleaning?

    Call or text us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix whatever wasn't right – no charge, no argument. We've been doing this long enough to know that things aren't always perfect on the first visit. New apartments, new routines, specific preferences – it takes a little time to get everything dialed in. But we stand behind our work. Our goal is to make sure you're happy every single time, not just the first time.
  • Do you serve my neighborhood in New York City?

    We clean all five boroughs – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We're also familiar with specific neighborhoods like Astoria, Park Slope, Harlem, Flushing, Williamsburg, the Upper East Side, Cobble Hill, Jackson Heights, and everywhere in between. If you're not sure whether we come to your area, just call us at (212) 920-7872 and we'll tell you right away. New York is our home and we know every corner of it.
  • What makes your green cleaning service different from regular cleaning in New York?

    Most cleaning companies in New York use the same industrial chemicals you'd find in any janitorial closet. We use plant-based, eco-certified products that are non-toxic and safe for kids, pets, and people with allergies or asthma. And here's what surprises most new customers – the results are just as good, often better, because we're not relying on harsh chemicals to mask odors or cut corners. A lot of folks in dense neighborhoods like Midtown and the Lower East Side especially appreciate that there's no chemical smell lingering for hours after we leave.
  • How close are you to my apartment? Do you travel to outer boroughs?

    Yes, we travel throughout the city. We regularly clean in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, Sunnyside, Pelham Bay, and Bay Ridge – not just Manhattan. Distance is never an issue. We build travel into our scheduling so there's no extra charge for outer borough visits. If you're in a part of the city that other services skip, give us a call. We probably already have clients near you.
  • Are there any New York City regulations I should know about for home cleaning services?

    In New York City, any legitimate cleaning company should carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Some building management companies – especially in co-ops on the Upper East Side or newer condos in Long Island City – also require proof of insurance before allowing outside vendors. We carry full coverage and can provide certificates of insurance to your building management if needed. Just let us know when you book.
  • Does the weather affect when I should schedule a deep cleaning in New York?

    Absolutely. New York winters are rough. Between November and March, apartments take a beating – salt and slush tracked in from the subway, closed windows trapping dust and allergens, radiator heat drying everything out. We see a big spike in deep cleaning requests in March and April when people finally open their windows and realize how much grime built up over winter. Spring is also when a lot of landlords want move-out cleanings done before summer leases kick in. If you want to book a spring cleaning before the rush, it's better to schedule in February or early March.
