We work in all kinds of homes in the St. Nicholas area, from studio apartments to large multi-bedroom townhouses. No job is too small or to big.

Standard House Cleaning

Our standard house cleaning is the most popular option for busy residents in the neighborhood. It's a full clean of your living spaces, kitchen, and bathrooms. We dust, wipe, vacuum, and mop.

Sometimes a standard clean isn't enough. Maybe it's been a while. Maybe life got busy and things piled up. Or maybe you just moved into a place that wasn't cleaned properly before you got there.
Our deep cleaning service goes further than your regular clean. We scrub inside the oven, clean inside the fridge, wash baseboards, scrub grout, wipe down the inside of cabinets, and get into all the corners that get ignored in a regular visit.

Many residents in St. Nicholas Historic District schedule deep cleans once or twice yearly to maintain a thorough baseline.

Our move in/out cleaning covers every corner of your unit, including closets, walls, baseboards, appliances, and windows, so you can hand back keys confidently or enter a spotless home.

Spring Cleaning

Spring in New York City hits different in the St. Nicholas Historic District. Windows get opened for the first time in months. Dust and allergens that built up all winter need to go. And most people look around and realize their home needs a real refresh.
Our spring cleaning service is a deep, thorough clean designed for exactly this time of year. We open it up, air things out, and go room by room. We tackle the spots that don't get attention during regular cleanings, behind furniture, inside drawers, on top of cabinets, along ceiling edges.
A lot of our clients in the neighborhood schedule their spring clean every April. It's become kind of a tradition. You can book it as a one-time service or pair it with the start of a recurring schedule.

Maid Service

Looking for reliable maid service in St. Nicholas Historic District? That's what we do. Our maid service connects you with a consistent, vetted cleaner who gets to know your home, your preferences, and your schedule.

We background check all of our cleaners. We train them on how to handle older homes and historic properties. And we make sure you get the same person every time so there's no having to re-explain where things go or how you like the pillows arranged. Good maid service isn't just about cleaning. It's about trust. You're letting someone into your home. We take that seriously.

Recurring Cleaning

Our recurring cleaning plans are the best value we offer and the most popular option for residents who want to stay on top of their home without the hassle.

You can set up weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits. We show up on the same day, same time, every time. You get a consistant cleaner who knows your home. And you get a discounted rate compared to booking individual appointments.
Life in Manhattan is busy. Between work, commutes, family, and everything else, cleaning often falls to the bottom of the list. A recurring cleaning plan takes it off the list entirely. You just come home to a clean house.

Difference

What Makes Us Diffrent From Other Cleaning Services in the Area

Our Approach

We've heard the horror stories. The cleaner who showed up once and never came back. The service that sent a diffrent person every time. The company that used harsh chemicals and damaged a client's original hardwood floors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Maid First House Cleaning Service in the St. Nicholas Historic District, Manhattan.

  • Do I need to be home when the cleaner comes?

    Most of our clients in St. Nicholas and the surrounding Harlem neighborhoods provide a key or building access code and go about their day. We're fully insured and all our cleaners are background checked, so you can feel comfortable giving us access. Of course if you prefer to be home, that's completely fine too.

  • Can you help with move-out cleaning in time for a lease inspection in Manhattan?

    Absolutely. We do move out cleanings all the time for tenants who are leaving apartments in St. Nicholas Historic District and need to get their security deposit back. We clean every inch of the unit and can often schedule on short notice. Just call (212) 920-7872 and tell us your move-out date.

  • Do you offer spring cleaning services in St. Nicholas Historic District?

    Yes, spring cleaning is one of our most requested services starting in late March and running through May. After a New York City winter, homes need a real refresh, especially in older buildings where dust and allergens build up behind radiators and along baseboards. We go deep and leave your home feeling completely different.

  • What cleaning products do you use and are they safe for kids and pets?

    We use cleaning products that are effective and safe for families. We can also work with eco-friendly or fragrance-free options if you or someone in your household has allergies or sensitivities. Just let us know when you book and we'll make sure your cleaner comes prepared.

Getting to your block on 138th or 139th Street is easy for our team, and we schedule cleanings throughout the week to fit your calendar.

  • Do you know how to clean the older brownstones and row houses in St. Nicholas Historic District?

    Yes, and this is something we take seriously. The homes in St. Nicholas Historic District have original woodwork, older tile, and sometimes sensitive flooring that needs the right products. We don't use harsh chemicals on historic surfaces, and our cleaners are trained to handle prewar and landmarked homes with care.

  • Is there anything special about cleaning apartments in Harlem compared to other parts of New York City?

    Harlem buildings, especially the historic ones near St. Nicholas Avenue and the 130s and 140s streets, tend to have higher ceilings, older radiator systems that collect dust, and original windows that let in more grit from the street. We factor all of that into how we clean. We go higher up and get into spots that newer construction doesn't really have.

  • What does a deep cleaning service include for a Manhattan apartment?

    Our deep cleaning covers everything a standard clean does, plus the inside of the oven, inside the fridge, inside cabinets, baseboards, grout lines, behind furniture, and more. For apartments in the St. Nicholas Historic District, we also pay special attention to older woodwork and window casings that tend to hold onto dust and grime.

  • How much does a house cleaning service cost in St. Nicholas Historic District Manhattan?

    Pricing depends on the size of your home and the type of service you need. A standard cleaning for a one bedroom apartment in the neighborhood is generally more affordable than most people expect, and our recurring plans offer even better rates.
