House Cleaning Service

There is a moment every year, usually the first warm Saturday, when you open the windows in your Manhattan apartment for the first time in months and the daylight hits the room different. And suddenly you see it. The grey film along the baseboards. The dust that settled on top of the radiator all winter. The kitchen that held five months of cooking with the windows shut tight against the cold. You kept the place tidy all season, but tidy and clean are not the same thing, and spring is the season that shows you the difference. That is what spring cleaning Manhattan apartments really means, getting out everything the winter packed in. Our deep cleaning service handles exactly the buildup that surface cleaning walks right past.
Apartment Cleaning Service Long Island City has been doing spring cleaning for Manhattan residents for years, the kind of reset that takes an apartment from survived-the-winter to actually clean. We are based at 5-51 47th Avenue in Long Island City, a short hop across the river, and we serve every corner of the borough, from the prewar co-ops on the Upper West Side to the walk-ups in the East Village to the high-rises in Midtown and the lofts in Tribeca. Call us at (212) 812-9420. See our pricing or book online to get your spring clean on the calendar.

House Cleaning Service

Our house cleaning service is the backbone of every spring clean we do in Manhattan. It covers the whole apartment room by room, no shortcuts. Kitchens cleaned all the way, not just wiped at the counter. Bathrooms scrubbed down to the tile and grout. Floors treated for what they actually are, because the original hardwood in a 1915 prewar walk-up and the engineered plank in a 2020 renovation do not take the same products. Baseboards, window sills, door frames, light switches, all of it gets touched every visit. Take a look at our tile and grout cleaning for what that means in your bathroom.
We work in Manhattan apartments of every size and every age. Tiny studios in Hell's Kitchen where the kitchen, bed, and living room share one room. Classic six co-ops on the Upper East Side with original moldings and decades of careful upkeep. Loft conversions in SoHo with big windows that let in big amounts of city dust. The size and the shape of the place tells us what to bring and how long we need. We ask the right questions before we schedule so we show up ready for what is really there.
House cleaning service in Manhattan is not the same animal as house cleaning in a suburb. The apartments here are smaller but they are lived in harder. The cooking happens in galley kitchens that get used every night. The foot traffic through small rooms never really stops. The windows face avenues and air shafts that put real grit on the sills. And the older prewar buildings, with there steam heat running all winter, produce a kind of dry dust that settles on every flat surface in the place. Our guide on cleaning hardwood floors in NYC apartments shows how we handle those prewar surfaces without doing damage.

What a Real Spring Cleaning in Manhattan Actually Covers

Plenty of companies in Manhattan will say they do spring cleaning and mean a quick wipe and a vacuum in ninety minutes. That is not what we mean. A real spring clean is a top-to-bottom reset that goes after every spot where a long winter left something behind. 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 apartment actually needs this spring.
Every room gets real attention, not a pass. The kitchen gets degreased everywhere the winter of indoor cooking left residue, not just at counter height. The bathroom gets scrubbed at the grout line, where months of hot showers and shut windows grew the kind of buildup a wipe does not move. The floors get the right treatment for there material. The spots behind furniture, around the radiators, inside the closets where boots and heavy coats lived all season, all of it is on the list. Nothing gets skipped because it sits out of view from the front door.
That is the difference between an apartment that looks fine and one that actually feels clean when you walk back in. The feeling comes from the places nobody really noticed until they were done right. The window track that went through a whole Manhattan winter sealed shut. The baseboard behind the bedroom radiator. The top of the kitchen cabinets where greasy dust collects above eye level. When those areas finally get handled, the whole apartment changes. See what people say on our reviews page.
Every spring cleaning visit we do in Manhattan covers the following, every time, without exception:
Black-outlined empty circle on a white background
Kitchen cleaned top to bottom including stovetop, oven exterior, cabinet fronts and tops, counters, backsplash, and sink

Maid Service

A one time spring clean resets the apartment, but our maid service is how Manhattan residents keep it that way the rest of the year. 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 in your specific space, 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 Chelsea and the West Village have felt that difference for themselves. A lot of them book the spring clean first and roll straight into recurring service after.

Apartment Cleaning

Apartment cleaning in Manhattan is its own thing. These apartments are nothing like houses in the suburbs or condos in other cities. They are dense. They are lived in completely. The kitchen sits ten feet from the couch. The bathroom fan in a prewar building does not move air like the fan in a new high-rise, so the moisture and the mold risk after a long sealed winter is a real concern. The floors in an old co-op have been walked on by tenants going back generations. We are deeply familiar with these buildings because we have been cleaning in them for years, and spring is when they need us most.
Our apartment cleaning covers every Manhattan apartment type there is. Studios where every surface needs attention because it all sits next to everything else. One-bedrooms in the Lower East Side with original floors and vintage bathrooms that need careful hands. Large prewar co-ops on the Upper West Side where the materials are specific and the board expectations are high. New construction in the Financial District where the finishes are modern but the dust does not care. Whatever the apartment, whatever the block, we clean it right.

Deep Cleaning Service

For most Manhattan apartments, a true spring clean is a deep cleaning service. This is what the place needs when a regular clean is no longer enough to get it where it should be. It is the service for the apartment that went two or three winters without a full professional cleaning, or the one where somebody cooked every night and the kitchen holds the whole record of it, or the one with bathroom grout that went dark over the cold months despite regular wiping. Our deep cleaning reaches every spot a standard clean skips. Inside the oven completely, 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 your apartment lays it out, and our deep cleaning teams across the city are ready to book.
Daniel had been in his fourth-floor walk-up on West 88th Street, just off Amsterdam, for seven years when he finally decided this spring was the spring he would deal with it.
He was not ashamed of the apartment. He had lived there fully. He cooked most nights in a narrow galley kitchen he genuinely used. He had two big windows that faced the street and a radiator under each one that clanked to life every October and ran hot until April. He had hosted friends for dinner more times than he could count. But seven winters of steam heat and shut windows and real cooking in a prewar Upper West Side kitchen leaves a record, and it settles into places a quick weekend wipe never reaches.
He called us on a Thursday in early April, the first week the windows could finally stay open. He described it honest. The tops of the kitchen cabinets had a sticky grey layer he could see from the hallway. The bathroom grout had gone a color it was not when he moved in. The baseboards behind both radiators, he admitted, he had not wiped in longer then he wanted to say. The window tracks, he said, he had not even looked inside since the fall.
We sent two people that Saturday morning. They spent close to six hours in that apartment. The kitchen came apart piece by piece, the oven all the way, the cabinet tops, the area behind and under the fridge, the backsplash that had caught seven winters of cooking. The bathroom grout got cleaned line by line until it came back to its real color. The baseboards in every room. The window tracks dug out and wiped down. The original hardwood floors mopped with the right product for wood that had been in that apartment longer then Daniel had been alive.
When they finished and he walked through, he stood in the kitchen a long minute and looked up at the cabinet tops without saying anything. Then he said he had figured that grey was just permanent by now. We told him it was not. He booked biweekly maid service before the team left the building. That is what a real spring cleaning in Manhattan is supposed to do. There are more stories like his on our client reviews page.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Spring Is Moving Season in Manhattan. We Handle Both Ends.
Spring is when half of Manhattan seems to move. Leases turn over, the weather finally cooperates, and suddenly everyone is hauling boxes up walk-up stairs. Moving in this city is already hard enough. The elevator reservation windows in co-op buildings, the service entrance rules, the impossible parking on narrow side streets in the West Village where a moving truck is nobody's friend. On top of all that, the apartment has to be handed back to the landlord or board in proper shape. Our NYC move-out cleaning checklist spells out exactly what they look for.
Our move-in and move-out cleaning covers every surface to the standard a Manhattan landlord or co-op board 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 Upper East Side co-ops where the board checklist runs two pages, and in rental walk-ups in Harlem 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? 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. We Take That Seriously.

Every person who walks into your Manhattan 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 and postwar construction that make Manhattan apartments unlike apartments anywhere else. Read more about them on our Our Cleaners page. Clients who use us for regular service in Chelsea, Tribeca, and the Upper West Side have handed our team building access for months and years without a single problem.

Scheduling That Works Around a Manhattan Life

Manhattanites do not have open schedules that bend around a cleaner who can only come Tuesday between 10 and 2. We schedule around the way people in this city actually live. Early morning slots for people who need to be out the door by nine. 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 when the schedule allows. You tell us when you need us and we tell you straight whether we can make it happen. Book your appointment online or call (212) 812-9420.

Honest Pricing for Every Apartment in Manhattan

Pricing for spring cleaning in Manhattan 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 Midtown building that gets cleaned often costs less then a three-bedroom prewar co-op on the Upper West Side 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 at no games with 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. 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 Manhattan clients.

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

Every spring 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. We bring the right products for the specific surfaces in your apartment, the right ones for original prewar 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 you have a sensitivity to a certain ingredient, tell us when you book and we work with what is right for your home and your household.

What Our Manhattan Clients Say About Our Spring Cleaning
Five black stars in a row on a white background
I opened my windows the first warm weekend and could not believe how much winter was still in my apartment. I booked the spring clean and the difference was unreal. The tops of my cabinets, the radiators, the window tracks, all of it. My place finally felt like spring instead of February.

I needed a move-out clean for my co-op in the Flatiron and that board is famously picky. They checked everything, the oven, the cabinet interiors, the grout, behind the toilet. I got my full deposit back and a note saying the unit was returned in excellent shape. Worth every dollar.
Jonathan Reyes
Flatiron District, Manhattan

My East Village walk-up had not had a real deep clean in two years and I knew it. When the team finally came in for a spring cleaning the kitchen alone took two hours and needed every minute. I signed up for monthly service before they even left.
Hannah Goldberg
East Village, Manhattan
Five black stars in a row on a white background
I work brutal hours in finance and I am almost never home. Having the same two people come every other week and knowing the apartment will be genuinely clean when I get back is the best money I spend in this city. They did my spring deep clean first and I never looked back.
Marcus Webb
Tribeca, Manhattan
Five black stars in a row on a white background
We moved into our Chelsea apartment and the last tenant clearly did not clean before they left. 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 for us. We started regular service the next month.

Upper West Side, Manhattan
The Upper West Side is one of our busiest Manhattan neighborhoods every spring. The prewar co-ops and brownstones off Amsterdam, Columbus, and Central Park West are full of original hardwood, steam radiators, and the kind of winter dust that builds up behind them. We are familiar with these buildings, there co-op boards, and there service entrance rules. Book our apartment cleaning on the Upper West Side or a full deep clean this spring.

Chelsea, Manhattan
Chelsea keeps us busy with a real mix of building types, from the old tenement walk-ups in the west twenties to the glass towers along the High Line. That range means we see every kind of spring buildup, from prewar grout and original tile to modern stone counters and floor-to-ceiling windows that collect a winter of city film. Book our maid service in Chelsea or a move-out clean for the spring lease turnover.

Tribeca and Downtown, Manhattan
Tribeca and the rest of downtown bring us into some of the oldest housing stock in the city, the cast iron loft conversions south of Canal and the narrow prewar walk-ups in the East Village and Lower East Side. After a winter sealed up, these old buildings hold dust in every grout line and window track, and the cooking residue in a hard-used downtown galley kitchen is real. We have been in these buildings, we are familiar with how they breathe, and we have the right touch to give them a true spring reset without harming the original materials. Book a deep clean or set up recurring service downtown.

FAQs

The questions we hear most from Manhattan clients about spring cleaning, answered straight.
How close are you to my apartment in Manhattan, and how fast can you get there for spring cleaning?
We are based on 47th Avenue in Long Island City, one stop over the Queensboro Bridge, so most of Manhattan is a quick trip for us. For standard spring cleaning bookings we ask for 48 to 72 hours of lead time. For same-day or next-day, call early at (212) 812-9420 or check our same-day cleaning page.

My Manhattan co-op needs 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 Manhattan. 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 at the door on cleaning day.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
Why is spring the busiest time for deep cleaning in Manhattan apartments?
Manhattan buildings run steam heat all winter with the windows shut tight against the cold, so five or six months of dry dust settles on every flat surface and grout darkens in sealed bathrooms. The first warm week is when people open the windows, see it all in the daylight, and call. Book early, because our spring calendar fills fast. See our spring cleaning checklist to prep.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
My Manhattan apartment has original prewar hardwood and vintage 1930s tile. Can you clean those without damage?
Yes, and this is one of the most important questions a prewar tenant can ask before a spring 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 from the 1920s and 30s 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 spring cleaning and a move-out clean on the same day during the spring lease turnover?
Yes, we do this often in spring when so much of Manhattan 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 the East Village, Upper West Side, and Chelsea 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 spring cleaning in Manhattan?
Most of our Manhattan clients are not home during the cleaning. You can set up key access through building management, use a lockbox, leave a key at the front desk, or let us in and head out. Every cleaner on our team is vetted and background-checked. Read more on our Our Cleaners page.
