A family in Woodside called us after the holidays. They'd hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas within a month of each other — two big meals, two rounds of cooking for a crowd, and somewhere in between, the kitchen had gotten to a state they weren't quite sure how to come back from. Grease on the backsplash. Buildup on the stovetop that had been cooked on multiple times before it was properly cleaned. The inside of the oven looked like something had lived in it. The refrigerator had a smell they couldn't locate.

We spent a few hours in that kitchen. By the time we left, the oven was clean, the stovetop was clean, the backsplash was degreased, the refrigerator was sanitized inside and out, the floor was properly mopped including along the baseboards, and every surface in the room was clean. They said it looked better than it did when they moved in. That's what professional kitchen cleaning actually looks like. Not a wipe-down. A real clean. GreenHandsCorp provides professional kitchen cleaning New York City homeowners, renters, and property managers rely on. We serve all five boroughs — Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Apartments in Astoria, houses in Bayside, condos in Park Slope — every kitchen is different and we handle all of them.

Some kitchens need more than a standard cleaning. Maybe it's been months since a professional clean. Maybe there's been a lot of cooking and not enough cleaning in between. Maybe the kitchen is in an older apartment that's never had a proper professional clean. In these situations, our deep cleaning service is what you actually need. Our kitchen deep cleaning goes further than a standard visit. We clean inside and behind the refrigerator — underneath it too if accessible. We pull out appliances if possible and clean behind them. We clean inside all cabinets and drawers — wiping shelves, dealing with crumbs and spills that have accumulated. We degrease all surfaces thoroughly, including areas that have heavy buildup. We treat the grout between backsplash tiles. We address any mold or mildew around the sink area. We clean exhaust fans and vents. The oven gets a complete treatment. It takes more time and costs a bit more than a standard kitchen cleaning. But the difference is substantial. A kitchen deep cleaning resets the room in a way that regular cleaning builds on. Deep cleaning for kitchens is especially popular in neighborhoods like Flushing, Woodside, and Ridgewood where older apartments have had years of cooking in small spaces and the buildup reflects it.

New York City apartment kitchens are famously small. Sometimes they're barely a galley — stove, sink, and a couple feet of counter space along one wall. In a small kitchen, everything is close together, cooking smells and grease spread fast, and there's nowhere for mess to hide. Our apartment cleaning service handles NYC kitchens with the understanding of exactly these conditions. We know how to work efficiently in a tight galley kitchen. We know how to degrease surfaces in a space where the stove and counter are inches apart. We know how to clean around the appliances and storage that fill every inch of a small kitchen. Renters in Long Island City, Crown Heights, Inwood, and Astoria who've used our apartment cleaning service say the kitchen is where they notice the difference most. Small kitchens show everything — a sticky stovetop, a smeared counter, grease on the cabinet above the stove. When the kitchen is actually clean, the whole apartment feels cleaner.

Our maid service includes real kitchen cleaning every visit. Not a quick wipe. An actual clean that maintains the kitchen between deeper treatments. Over time, a kitchen on a regular maid service schedule is in significantly better condition than one that only gets cleaned occasionally — because the buildup that makes kitchens hard to clean never gets established in the first place. Maid service clients in Forest Hills, Harlem, and the Upper West Side who cook at home frequently say the kitchen is the room they appreciate most about having regular cleaning. Coming home to a clean kitchen, or waking up to one — that's a quality of life improvement that's hard to overstate.

Our move in cleaning service includes a complete kitchen treatment. We clean inside the oven and refrigerator, scrub the stovetop, degrease surfaces and the backsplash, clean inside all cabinets and drawers, and make sure every inch of the kitchen is properly sanitized before you unpack your groceries or cook your first meal. New residents in Elmhurst, Ridgewood, and Kew Gardens regularly book our move in cleaning specifically because of the kitchen. You deserve to start in a kitchen that's genuinely clean — not just visually acceptable.

Spring is when most New Yorkers look at their kitchen and decide it's time. The inside of the refrigerator that's been meaning to get cleaned for months. The oven that hasn't been properly done since last Thanksgiving. The cabinet fronts that have accumulated a winter's worth of cooking grease. The floor edges and corners that the regular mop doesn't quite reach. Our spring cleaning service gives the kitchen a full annual reset. We go through every area thoroughly — inside appliances, behind them if accessible, every surface, every cabinet, the floor done properly. By the time we're done, the kitchen is in the best shape it's been in a year. Spring kitchen cleaning is especially popular with clients in Astoria, Park Slope, and Inwood who do a lot of cooking at home during winter and want to start the warmer months with a genuinely clean kitchen. It's a satisfying reset that makes the kitchen feel good to cook in again.
