Living in New York is amazing. But keeping your place clean? That's a whole other job. Between long commutes, packed schedules, and just trying to enjoy the city, cleaning always ends up at the bottom of the list. That's where we come in.

Does Your Apartment Feel Like It's Always One Step Behind?

You sweep on Sunday. By Wednesday it looks like you didn't bother. You keep buying cleaning products that sit under the sink. Company's coming Friday and you're panicking on Thursday night.

New York apartments are small, but they get dirty fast. Especially in buildings with old windows, shared hallways, and city dust coming in from everywhere. Studio or five-bedroom — it doesn't matter. Life moves fast here and cleaning falls through the cracks.


[Placeholder]
Here's the truth: most people who hire a cleaning service don't need someone every week. Once a month is enough to keep things under control — and it's affordable enough to actually stick with.
Our monthly cleaning service New York plan is simple. You pick your date. We show up. We clean your whole home top to bottom. You come back to something that feels completely reset.

No long contracts. No surprise fees. No "where did my spare key go" moments. Just a clean home, every month, from people who know what they're doing.

What Happens When You Stop Cleaning and Start Living

Our clients tell us the same thing over and over. It's not just that their apartment is cleaner. It's that they feel different. One client in Astoria told us she used to spend every Saturday morning cleaning. Now she uses that time to go to the farmers market, meet friends for brunch, or just sleep in. She books us once a month and doesn't think about it again. A couple in Battery Park said their biggest fights used to be about cleaning. Who didn't do the dishes. Who forgot to vacuum. Now that argument is completely gone. A guy in the East Village said his apartment went from "I'm embarrassed to have people over" to "my friends actually ask to come over now." A clean home changes your mood. It changes your relationships. It changes how you feel about where you live. That's what we're really selling — not cleaning. Time. Peace of mind. A home you're proud of.

Parent

The Parent in Park Slope

A mom with two kids under five had given up on keeping her apartment clean. After starting monthly cleaning service, she told us: "I actually enjoy being home now. I'm not constantly stressed about the mess."



The Professional in Midtown

Professional

A finance guy who travels for work every other week used to come home to a place that felt neglected. Now he comes home to a clean apartment every time. "It's one of the best quality-of-life upgrades I've made since moving to New York."

Roommates

The Roommate Situation in Bushwick

Three roommates. Three different ideas of clean. We now come in once a month and reset everything. "We stopped fighting about chores. Completely." That's from one of them. We'll take it.

Questions New Yorkers Actually Ask Us

[Placeholder]

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

    A standard clean maintains a home that's already in decent shape. A deep clean goes further — inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside cabinets, grout scrubbing, baseboards, ceiling fans, and all the spots that rarely get touched. Deep cleans take significantly longer and cost more. Most New Yorkers do a deep clean once or twice a year and use our monthly cleaning service to keep things maintained in between.
  • Do you do move-out cleanings for New York City apartments? My landlord is really strict.

    Yes, this is one of our most-booked services. New York landlords use any excuse to hold deposits — especially in tight rental markets like Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our move-out cleaning is designed specifically to meet or exceed what landlords and building managers expect. We clean everything from the ceiling light fixtures to the inside of the radiator covers. Many of our clients have gotten their full deposit back and that's something we're proud of.
  • Does New York City have any specific rules or access requirements I should know about for letting cleaners into my building?

    Some New York City co-ops and condos have specific requirements for service workers — things like using the service entrance, signing in with the doorman, or providing proof of insurance. We've worked in hundreds of NYC buildings and are familiar with these requirements. We're fully insured and can provide documentation if your building needs it. Just let us know the building rules when you book and we'll handle it.
  • Do you do spring cleaning in New York? My apartment gets really dusty in winter.

    Yes, and we get a lot of calls about this exact problem. New York apartments — especially older pre-war buildings in neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, Crown Heights, or Jackson Heights — get heavy radiator dust and city grime all winter long. Our spring cleaning is a full reset: walls, windows, blinds, all the overlooked corners. We recommend booking in March or April because we fill up fast. Don't wait until May and find out we're booked.
  • Is it safe to have a cleaning service in my New York City apartment? How do I know I can trust you?

    All of our cleaners are background-checked, trained, and insured. We've been serving New York City residents for years and our reputation is everything in a city where word travels fast. We don't send random people — we send our team. You can also read our reviews on Google to see what real clients in your neighborhood think. And if something ever isn't right, you call us and we fix it. Simple as that.
  • Do you offer monthly cleaning services in my neighborhood in New York?

    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 East Village, Williamsburg, Riverdale, and plenty more. If you're in NYC, we can most likely get to you. Just call (212) 920-7872 and we'll confirm availability in your area.
  • How close are you to [my neighborhood]? Will you really come to me?

    We're a New York City-based service, so yes, we really do come to you — wherever you are in the five boroughs. We handle logistics including parking, building access, and elevator scheduling in bigger buildings. If you live in a high-rise in Midtown or a brownstone in Bed-Stuy, we've worked in buildings like yours before and know what to expect.
  • Do I need to be home when you clean?

    Most of our clients are not home. They leave a key, use a lockbox, or coordinate with a doorman. We're fully insured and background-checked so you can feel comfortable giving us access. A lot of our New York clients prefer to be at work while we clean and come home to a fresh apartment — that's honestly the best part.
  • My apartment is small — is it worth it to hire a cleaning service in New York?

    Absolutely. We clean a lot of studios and one-bedrooms in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Small spaces actually get dirty faster because there's less room to spread things out. And honestly, a one-bedroom in New York costs as much as a house in some other cities — it deserves to be clean. Our monthly cleaning for studios starts at $120, which is less than a lot of people spend on delivery in a week.
  • What's included in your standard monthly cleaning service?

    Standard monthly cleaning includes: vacuuming all floors and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms (toilet, sink, tub/shower, mirrors), wiping down kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, cleaning the stovetop, wiping cabinets, emptying trash, and dusting all accessible surfaces. We bring all supplies. If you want something specific done, just let us know when you book.
