House Cleaning Service

There is a specific kind of panic that hits around the second week of November. Your mother just confirmed she is coming for Thanksgiving. Your cousins from out of state want to see the apartment over the holidays. Suddenly you are looking at your Queens place the way they will see it, and the grout in the bathroom looks darker then you remembered, the oven you are about to cook in has not been touched since last winter, and there is a layer of dust on the baseboards you walk past every day and never really see. Holiday cleaning Queens families call us for is exactly this, getting the whole place company-ready before the doorbell starts ringing. Our deep cleaning service goes after everything a quick tidy leaves behind.
Apartment Cleaning Service Long Island City has been handling holiday cleaning for Queens residents for years, the kind of reset that turns a lived-in apartment into one you are proud to host in. We are based at 5-51 47th Avenue right here in Long Island City, so Queens is our home turf, and we serve every corner of the borough, from the prewar co-ops in Forest Hills to the garden apartments in Jackson Heights to the new towers in Long Island City and the two-family homes in Astoria. Call us at (212) 812-9420. See our pricing or book online to lock in your holiday clean before the calendar fills.

House Cleaning Service

Our house cleaning service is the foundation of every holiday clean we do in Queens. It covers the whole apartment room by room, no shortcuts. Kitchens cleaned all the way, not just wiped at the counter, which matters a lot when you are about to cook a holiday meal in there. Bathrooms scrubbed down to the tile and grout, because that is the one room every guest uses. Floors treated for what they actually are, since original hardwood in a 1920s Forest Hills co-op and modern plank in a new Long Island City tower do not take the same products. Baseboards, sills, door frames, light switches, all of it. Take a look at our tile and grout cleaning for what that means in your bathroom.
We work in Queens apartments of every size and every age. Compact studios in Hunters Point where the whole place is one warm room. Garden apartments in Sunnyside with original layouts and decades of careful upkeep. Larger family homes in Bayside with wide trim and lots of rooms to get through before company arrives. The size and shape of the place tells us what to bring and how long we need, so we show up ready for what is really there before your guests come.
House cleaning service in Queens is its own thing, not the same as cleaning a house in the suburbs. The apartments here are lived in hard, and over the holidays they get lived in by twice as many people. The cooking happens in galley kitchens that get pushed to there limit on Thanksgiving. The foot traffic through the rooms triples when family is in town. The steam radiators in older buildings run hot and dry all season and settle dust on every flat surface. Our guide on cleaning hardwood floors in NYC apartments shows how we handle those older Queens surfaces without doing damage.

What a Real Holiday Cleaning in Queens Actually Covers

Plenty of companies in Queens will say they do holiday cleaning and mean a fast wipe and a vacuum in ninety minutes. That is not what we mean. A real holiday clean is a top-to-bottom reset that gets the apartment ready for company, the kind where someone can use your bathroom or peek in your kitchen and you do not flinch. Not sure if you need a standard clean or the deeper version? Our guide on deep cleaning vs standard cleaning helps you figure out which one your place needs before the holidays.
Every room gets real attention, not a pass. The kitchen gets degreased everywhere cooking residue built up, not just at counter height, so it is ready for a holiday meal. The bathroom gets scrubbed at the grout line where guests will notice. The floors get the right treatment for there material. The spots behind furniture, around the radiators, inside the closets where coats and boots pile up in winter, all of it is on the list. Nothing gets skipped because it sits out of view, because guests have a way of seeing exactly the thing you hoped they would not.
That is the difference between an apartment that looks okay and one that actually feels ready for company. The feeling comes from the places nobody really notices until they are done right. The window track that went a whole season sealed shut. The baseboard behind the radiator in the spare room. The top of the kitchen cabinets where greasy dust collects above eye level. When those areas finally get handled, the whole place feels lighter. See what people say on our reviews page.
Every holiday cleaning visit we do in Queens covers the following, every time, without exception:

Kitchen cleaned top to bottom including stovetop, oven exterior, cabinet fronts and tops, counters, backsplash, and sink, ready for holiday cooking

Maid Service

A one time holiday clean gets you ready for company, but our maid service is how Queens residents keep the place that way through the whole season of guests and gatherings. We offer weekly and biweekly visits across the borough, and we send the same team each time. They learn your apartment, the surfaces that get dirty fastest, and the things that matter most to you. A maid service that sends a different stranger every visit is a service you have to retrain every single time. Our regular clients in Astoria and Sunnyside have felt that difference. A lot of them book the holiday clean first and roll straight into recurring service after the new year.

Apartment Cleaning

Apartment cleaning in Queens is its own thing. These apartments are nothing like houses in the suburbs or condos in other cities. They are lived in completely, and over the holidays they hold more people, more cooking, and more coming and going than any other time of year. The bathroom fan in a prewar building does not move air like the fan in a new high-rise, so moisture after a houseful of holiday showers is a real thing. The floors in an older Queens co-op have been walked on by tenants going back generations. We have been cleaning in these buildings for years, and the holidays are when they get tested.
Our apartment cleaning covers every Queens apartment type there is. Studios where every surface needs attention because it all sits next to everything else. One-bedrooms in Elmhurst with original floors and vintage bathrooms that need careful hands. Larger co-op units in Rego Park where the materials are specific and the rooms are many. New construction in Long Island City where the finishes are modern but the holiday dust does not care. Whatever the apartment, whatever the block, we clean it right before the guests arrive.

Deep Cleaning Service

For most Queens apartments, a true holiday clean is a deep cleaning service. This is what the place needs when a regular tidy is not enough to get it company-ready. It is the service for the apartment that went a year or two without a full professional cleaning, or the one where someone cooks every night and the kitchen holds the whole record of it, or the one with bathroom grout that went dark over time despite regular wiping. Our deep cleaning reaches every spot a standard clean skips. Inside the oven completely before you roast anything in it, behind and under the fridge and stove, inside every cabinet and drawer, grout cleaned line by line, baseboards along every wall, window tracks opened and cleared throughout. Wondering how often this is needed? Our guide on how often to deep clean lays it out, and our deep cleaning teams across the city are ready to book.
Tomas had spent every Christmas of his adult life at his sister's place in Jamaica, until the year he finally told the family to come to his apartment in Jackson Heights instead.
He was proud of the place. A solid two-bedroom in one of the old garden co-op buildings, with the original prewar layout and the kind of quiet courtyard you do not find much anymore. He cooked most nights in a kitchen he loved. He had hosted friends plenty of times. But hosting friends for cards and hosting his whole family for Christmas dinner are two different things, and his mother and three aunts notice everything. The oven. The grout. The tops of the cabinets. The radiators they would be sitting next to all evening.
He called us the week before Christmas. He described it honest. The oven had cooked a lot of weeknight dinners and never been cleaned inside. The bathroom grout had gone a shade darker then it started. The baseboards in the living room, where everyone would gather, had not been wiped in longer then he wanted to admit. The window tracks behind the courtyard windows, he said, he had been avoiding for two winters.
We sent two people two days before the holiday. They spent most of the day in that apartment. The kitchen came apart piece by piece, the oven all the way out, the cabinet tops, the area behind the fridge and stove. The bathroom grout got cleaned line by line until it came back to its real color. The baseboards in every room. The courtyard windows and there tracks dug out and wiped down. The original hardwood mopped with the right product for floors that had been in that garden co-op since before Tomas was born.
On Christmas his mother walked the apartment slow, the way mothers do. She stopped at the kitchen. She looked at the bathroom. Then she told Tomas the place was beautiful, and she meant it. Tomas told us later that was the first holiday he felt like the host instead of the youngest son. He booked monthly service in January. That is what a real holiday cleaning in Queens is supposed to do. There are more stories like his on our client reviews page.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Moving Over the Holidays in Queens? We Handle Both Ends.
Plenty of Queens leases turn over at year end, which means some people are moving during the same weeks everyone else is hosting. Moving in this borough is already hard. The walk-up stairs in an Astoria two-family, the narrow streets where a moving truck is nobody's friend, the cold that makes every trip worse. On top of all that, the old apartment has to go back to the landlord in proper shape. Our NYC move-out cleaning checklist spells out exactly what landlords look for.
Our move-in and move-out cleaning covers every surface to the standard a Queens landlord will walk in and approve. The oven, the cabinet interiors, the grout, the hardwood, the window tracks, the baseboards. We have done move-outs in Forest Hills co-ops where the board checklist runs two pages, and in rental walk-ups in Sunnyside where the landlord has run that building himself for twenty years. We have cleaned apartments to hold up to either one. Moving into a new place for the new year? Start with our pre-move-in cleaning guide.

Every Cleaner on Our Team Is Vetted, Background-Checked, and Insured

You Are Letting Someone Into Your Home Before the Holidays. We Take That Seriously.

Every person who walks into your Queens apartment as part of our team has been vetted, background-checked, and trained for the apartments in this city. They are not strangers pulled off an app for the day. They are people we have hired and worked with for a long time, who understand co-op entry rules, service entrance protocols, and the material quirks of prewar Queens buildings and new construction alike. Read more about them on our Our Cleaners page. Clients who use us for regular service in Long Island City, Astoria, and Forest Hills have handed our team building access for months and years without a single problem.

Scheduling That Works Around a Queens Holiday Season

Queens residents do not have open schedules in December, and the week before a holiday is the busiest of all. We schedule around the way people in this borough actually live. Early morning slots for people who need to be out the door early. Evening visits for apartments where someone is home during the day. Weekend appointments for the people whose work weeks leave no room for anything else. Same-day and next-day availability comes up regularly on weekdays, which saves a lot of holiday hosts when a guest list grows at the last minute. Being based right here in Queens, we reach most of the borough fast. Book your appointment online or call (212) 812-9420.

Honest Pricing for Every Apartment in Queens

Pricing for holiday cleaning in Queens depends on the size of the apartment, how long it has been since a real cleaning, whether there are pets, and the honest condition of the place. A studio in a new Long Island City building that gets cleaned often costs less then a three-bedroom prewar co-op in Forest Hills that has not had a professional clean in two years. We do not hand you a flat rate that jumps when we get to the door. See our full pricing page for ranges by apartment size and service. The EPA keeps a list of safer cleaning products through there Safer Choice program, and we are glad to use greener options on request with no games on the price.
When you call us at (212) 812-9420, we ask about the apartment honest. Size. Building type. Last time it had a real cleaning. Pets. Anything specific that needs attention before your guests come. We give you a real number after that talk. The number you hear on the phone is the number you pay when the job is done. No add-ons at the door, no surprises on the invoice. Our FAQ page answers the pricing questions we hear most from Queens clients.

We Bring Everything. You Do Not Have to Prep a Thing.

Every holiday cleaning team we send shows up with all the supplies, all the products, all the equipment. You do not need to buy anything, stock anything, or have anything ready, which is the last thing you want to think about the week before a holiday. We bring the right products for the specific surfaces in your apartment, the right ones for original Queens hardwood and for modern vinyl, for old cast iron tubs and for new porcelain, for vintage grout and for stone counters. If you want green products only, or someone in the house has a sensitivity to a certain ingredient, tell us when you book and we work with what is right for your home.

What Our Queens Clients Say About Our Holiday Cleaning
Five black stars in a row on a white background
I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and was panicking about my apartment. They came two days before and the place looked incredible. The oven, the bathroom grout, the baseboards, everything. I actually enjoyed my own dinner instead of hiding in the kitchen.

My whole family came in from out of state for the holidays and stayed in my Forest Hills apartment. I booked the holiday deep clean and it was the best decision of the season. Every room was spotless. My mother could not find a single thing to comment on, which is a miracle.

My Long Island City place had not had a real deep clean all year and I had people coming for a holiday dinner. The team came in and the kitchen alone took two hours and needed every minute. I signed up for biweekly service before they even left.

I work long hours and there was no way I was getting my Astoria apartment ready for Christmas on my own. They handled the whole thing in one day. When my family walked in they thought I had spent a week cleaning. Honestly the best money I spent all holiday.

Five black stars in a row on a white background
We moved into our Sunnyside apartment right before the holidays and the last tenant left it a mess. We called Apartment Cleaning Service Long Island City before a single box came in. They spent a full day and the place was truly ready. We hosted New Year's there a week later.

FAQs

The questions we hear most from Queens clients about holiday cleaning, answered straight.
How close are you to my apartment in Queens, and how fast can you get there for holiday cleaning?
We are based on 47th Avenue in Long Island City, which is Queens, so we reach most of the borough fast. For standard holiday bookings we ask for 48 to 72 hours of lead time, but book earlier in December because the calendar fills fast. For same-day or next-day, call early at (212) 812-9420 or check our same-day cleaning page.

My Queens co-op requires written notice before outside cleaners enter the building. How do you handle that?
We deal with this all the time in co-op buildings across Queens, especially in Forest Hills and along Queens Boulevard. When you book, give us the building management contact and the notice rule. We reach out directly, confirm the visit with the office, and show up at the service entrance with everything already arranged, so there are no hold-ups on cleaning day.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
Why is the holiday season the busiest time for deep cleaning in Queens apartments?
Two things stack up at once. Queens buildings run steam heat with the windows shut, so dust settles all over, and families start hosting guests for Thanksgiving, the December holidays, and New Year's. People look at there apartment through a guest's eyes and call. Book early, because our holiday calendar fills fast. See our seasonal cleaning guide to prep.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
My Queens apartment has original prewar hardwood and vintage tile. Can you clean those without damage before guests come?
Yes, and this is one of the most important questions a prewar tenant can ask before a holiday clean. Original hardwood with a period finish reacts very different to water and products than modern flooring, and the wrong product can permanently dull it. Vintage tile and grout in older Queens buildings needs gentle agents that will not etch the surface. Read our hardwood floor guide for more.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
Can you do my holiday cleaning and a move-out clean on the same day during the year-end turnover?
Yes, we do this often around the new year when so much of Queens is moving at once. We coordinate around your key handoff so both jobs get done properly without either one being rushed. A lot of clients moving between Astoria, Long Island City, and Sunnyside use us for both ends. See our move-out checklist to get ready.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
Do I need to be home during my holiday cleaning in Queens?
Most of our Queens clients are not home during the cleaning, which helps a lot during a busy holiday week. You can set up key access through building management, use a lockbox, leave a key with a neighbor, or let us in and head out to run your errands. Every cleaner on our team is vetted and background-checked. Read more on our Our Cleaners page.
