House Cleaning Service in Long Island City Queens, New York City — So You Can Finally Exhale When You Walk Through the Door

[Placeholder]

You just got off the 7 train at Queensboro Plaza. Its 7pm. Your apartment is waiting for you and you already know — the dishes are still in the sink from Tuesday, theres a ring around the bathtub, and the kitchen floor needs something more than a quick sweep.

That's the story for a lot of people living in Long Island City right now. The neighborhood has grown fast. New buildings keep going up near Court Square and along Jackson Avenue. People moving in are busy. Young professionals, families, remote workers juggling packed schedules. Nobody has time to scrub grout.

House Cleaning Service

Our standard house cleaning service covers everything a home in Long Island City actually needs on a regular basis.

We clean kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and bedrooms. We wipe down surfaces, clean appliances on the outside, vacuum floors, mop, and take out the trash.
Alot of our customers in LIC live in newer high-rise buildings off of Queens Plaza or the older converted lofts near 21st Street. The layouts are different but the dirt is the same. Grease on stovetops. Dust on windowsills from the construction going on down the block. Pet hair on couches. We handle all of it.
A regular house cleaning with Maid First takes between two and four hours depending on the size of your space. We bring our own supplies. You don't have to be home. Just let us in and come back to a clean apartment.

Deep Cleaning Service

Sometimes a standard cleaning isn't enough. Maybe you haven't had a professional cleaner in a while. Maybe life got busy and things got away from you. Or maybe you just moved into a place that the last tenant didn't leave in great shape.
That's what our deep cleaning service is for. Deep cleaning goes much further than a standard visit. We clean inside the oven and fridge. We scrub tile grout. We wipe down baseboards and door frames. We get behind appliances. We clean the inside of cabinets if requested. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, window sills, the works.
For apartments in Long Island City that sit in older buildings around Thomson Ave or the Queens waterfront area, deep cleaning is especially helpful. Older units collect grime in places you wouldn't normally look. Our team knows where to find it.
We always recommend starting with a deep cleaning if this is your first time booking with us. It gives us a clean slate to work from, and then a standard cleaning or recurring plan keeps it that way going forward. Call (212) 920-7872 to schedule your deep cleaning service today.

Move In/Out Cleaning

Moving in Long Island City is its own adventure. Whether your coming from Manhattan, another part of Queens, or relocating from out of state, moving day is chaotic. The last thing you want to worry about is scrubbing a bathroom that someone else left behind.

Our move in/out cleaning service is built for exactly this situation. Moving Out: We clean your old apartment from top to bottom so you can get your security deposit back. Moving In: We clean your new place before you unpack a single box. Landlords and property managers near Vernon-Jackson and Hunters Point trust us for turnover cleanings between tenants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about house cleaning services in Long Island City, Queens, New York City.

  • Do your cleaners bring their own supplies for house cleaning service in Long Island City Queens?

    Yes, we bring everything we need. Cleaning products, mops, vacuums, microfiber cloths, all of it. You do not need to supply anything. If you have a preferred product for a specific surface, like a hardwood floor cleaner you like, just let us know and we will use yours.

  • Is Maid First available for spring cleaning in Long Island City apartments?

    Absolutely. Spring cleaning is one of our busiest seasons in LIC. People who have been cooped up all winter want a fresh start. We go deep on these jobs and cover everything from window tracks to inside closets. Book early because spots go fast once the weather turns.

  • What happens if I am not happy with my cleaning?

    You call us. We come back and fix whatever was missed, no charge. We take feedback seriously. Our business depends on people in Long Island City recommending us to their neighbors and coworkers, and that only happens if we do a good job.

  • Do you offer maid service for condos in the Hunters Point area?

    Yes, we clean condos throughout the Hunters Point area including buildings along the waterfront. Whether you are in a studio or a three bedroom, our maid service fits your space. Many Hunters Point residents book us on a bi-weekly schedule.

  • Are your cleaners background-checked?

    Yes. Every cleaner on the Maid First team goes through a background check before they work in any home. We also train them on our cleaning process and standards. When we send someone to your apartment, we stand behind them.

  • How far in advance do I need to book a house cleaning service in Long Island City?

    We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead, especially on weekends. Long Island City has grown a lot and demand in this neighborhood is real. That said, we do our best to fit in last minute requests when we can. Call (212) 920-7872 and we will tell you what is available.

  • Do you clean apartments in high-rise buildings near Court Square or Queensboro Plaza?

    Yes, we do this all the time. Many of our regulars live in the newer towers near the Court Square subway hub. We coordinate with building management on access when needed and we are familiar with how those buildings handle deliveries and service visitors.

  • What is the difference between a standard cleaning and a deep cleaning service in Long Island City?

    A standard cleaning covers your regular surfaces and everyday messes. A deep cleaning goes further, inside the oven, behind appliances, grout scrubbing, baseboards, and more. If you haven't had a professional cleaning in more than a few months, we usually suggest starting with a deep clean so we can get your home to a solid baseline first.

  • Can I get a move in/out cleaning done on short notice in Queens?

    We understand moves happen fast. We try to accommodate tight timelines. If you are moving out of an apartment near Vernon-Jackson or anywhere in LIC and need it cleaned before your walkthrough, give us a call as early as possible and we will do our best to fit you in.

  • How much does recurring cleaning cost for a one bedroom apartment in Long Island City?

    Pricing depends on the size of your place and how often you want us. A typical one bedroom in LIC runs between $100 and $160 per visit for bi-weekly recurring service. One time cleanings and deep cleans are priced separately. Contact us at (212) 920-7872 or maidfirst.com for an exact quote.
