Maid Service

One Sunday a host with a studio near Tompkins Square Park in the East Village messaged us in a panic. One guest checked out at 11 a.m., the next checked in at 3 p.m., and the place was a mess of crumpled sheets, coffee rings, and a sink full of mugs. We had a cleaner there by noon, stripped and remade the bed, reset the kitchen, staged the towels, and snapped photos for the host before the new guest ever turned the key. That four-hour turnaround is everyday work for us across New York City, where check-ins are tight, reviews are everything, and a single missed spot can cost a host a star. If you run a short-term rental and need reliable turnovers, our Airbnb cleaning in New York City is built for exactly that.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has handled short-term rental turnovers across New York City for years, from Lower East Side studios to Williamsburg lofts and Astoria one-bedrooms. We are a local crew that shows up on time, brings our own supplies, and cleans to the hotel standard guests expect. Need a one-time reset or a standing turnover after every checkout? Both work. You can book a cleaning in a couple of minutes or call us, and we handle the rest. Learn more about our team and why NYC hosts keep our number on speed dial.

Maid Service

Between guests, a rental needs more than a quick tidy, and that is where our maid service comes in. We handle the full turnover, like stripping and remaking beds, restocking toiletries, washing every dish, and wiping down each surface, so the next guest walks into a spotless space. See our maid service in New York City for the full picture.
Our maid service in New York City works around your booking calendar, not the reverse. Some hosts book a single turnover, some have us on standby for back-to-back stays, and some keep us on a weekly schedule during their busy season. When we can, we send the same cleaners back so they learn your setup, like where the spare linens live and how you stage the welcome basket. Want proof? Read a few real NYC host reviews before you book.
We keep it flexible. Slammed with back-to-back bookings, or a quiet week with one stay? Just tell us the schedule. A good service fits your calendar, with clear pricing and no surprise fees tacked on at the end. You can check our straightforward cleaning prices any time, no guessing.

Apartment Cleaning

Cleaning a New York City rental between guests is its own job. Many short-term units are compact studios in Manhattan where every surface is on display, or walk-up apartments in Brooklyn and Queens where guests track in city grit. Others are new condos with glass and stainless that show every fingerprint. Our apartment cleaning in New York City handles all of it, because we have cleaned hundreds of rentals across the five boroughs.
Small spaces get judged fast by guests, so every inch needs attention. In a tight studio near Union Square we work top to bottom and hit the spots a guest notices first, like fingerprints on the fridge, hair in the shower drain, dust on the nightstand, and crumbs under the couch cushions. Bigger units in Harlem or Long Island City take more time, since more rooms mean more chances for a bad review.
We treat your rental like your rating depends on it, because it does. Hosts count on us for clean photos and five-star reviews, and guests count on a space that looks just like the listing. Here is what a standard Airbnb turnover cleaning with us usually covers, and you can always add more based on the unit.
Every Airbnb cleaning visit in New York City includes the core turnover tasks below, the things guests notice, and we can add more based on your rental.

Deep Cleaning Service

Quick turnovers keep a rental running, but every unit needs a reset now and then, and that is where our deep cleaning service comes in. Between busy booking stretches we reach the places a fast turnover skips, like inside the oven, behind the fridge, grout in the shower, and the dusty tops of cabinets. Hosts in the Financial District and Bushwick often book a deep cleaning service seasonally or after a long-term guest, to keep reviews high and the space healthy. A deep clean takes more time than a turnover, but it protects your rating and your rental. Many hosts also add our tile and grout cleaning when bathroom grout starts to dull.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Launching a new listing or closing one down? Our move-in / move-out cleaning gets a unit ready either way. For hosts prepping a fresh rental, a thorough first clean means your launch photos look spotless and your first guests leave five stars. For hosts converting a unit back to a long-term lease, a deep move-out clean meets what landlords and management companies expect across NYC. See our full move-in and move-out cleaning for New York City.
This clean goes deep, since an empty unit lets us reach spots that stay blocked once it is furnished and booked. We clean inside cabinets and closets, scrub the kitchen and bathroom top to bottom, wipe out drawers, and finish the floors once the space is clear. New listings and lease conversions cluster around month-end in NYC, so we suggest booking a few days ahead to lock your slot. Grab a time on our booking page whenever you are ready.

Why New York City Hosts Call Green Hands First

There are plenty of cleaning companies in New York City, so why do so many hosts keep calling us back? It comes down to trust. We hire careful, reliable cleaners, we show up on the tight turnover windows hosts live by, and we clean to a standard that earns five-star reviews. We are not a faceless app sending a different stranger each time. We are a local team that takes pride in the work and stands behind it. If a guest flags something, we come back and make it right, plain and simple, and our satisfaction guarantee backs that up. Meet the people who show up at your door on our cleaners page.
Short-term rental cleaning in New York City comes with challenges you do not find elsewhere. Turnovers run on tight same-day windows between an 11 a.m. checkout and a 3 p.m. check-in, with no room for delay. NYC also has strict short-term rental rules, so hosts should know the city's registration requirements, and the official NYC government site lays out what legal hosting looks like under Local Law 18.
Then there are the buildings and the access. Anyone hosting here knows the headache of lockboxes, doormen, and walk-ups with no elevator, especially in older Manhattan and Brooklyn units. That is one more reason hosts love that we coordinate access and handle the turnover while they manage bookings from anywhere. We come prepared for steep stairs, key codes, and tight hallways and never let a fifth-floor unit slow us down.
New York City also has a real mix of rentals, and each one cleans differently. A glass condo near Hudson Yards has stainless and floor-to-ceiling glass that need streak-free care. A railroad apartment in Greenpoint has rooms in a row that guests judge as one space. A brownstone garden unit in Park Slope has detailed trim and old wood that mark easily. We adjust to the rental in front of us, never a one-size-fits-all routine.
Seasons matter too. Summer brings peak tourism and back-to-back bookings across the boroughs, so turnover speed is everything. Fall tracks leaves and mud into entries near parks like Prospect Park and Central Park. Winter road salt gets ground into floors and rugs right when holiday guests arrive. We see these patterns because we clean here all year long.
All of this is to say we are not just tidying a generic apartment. We are turning over a New York City rental, with every rule and quirk this fast, crowded, one-of-a-kind city throws at us. That local know-how is the gap between a turnover that looks okay and one that actually earns five stars. Check the areas we serve across NYC to see if we reach your unit.

Green Cleaning That Is Safe for Kids and Pets

Turnover products that are kind to your guests and your unit
Our name says it. Green Hands uses cleaning methods and products that are gentle on the guests who stay in your rental, including families and travelers with pets. New York City hosts welcome all kinds of guests, and many worry about harsh chemical fumes in a small unit right before check-in. We hear that a lot, so we lean on safer products that cut through turnover grime without leaving a strong smell behind. You can read more about our eco-friendly cleaning in New York City and the EPA Safer Choice program we follow for safer products.
Gentle cleaning also protects the finishes that make your listing shine. Strong cleaners can dull stone counters, etch fixtures, and wear down hardwood over many turnovers, and that wear shows up in guest photos and reviews. Softer methods lift the grime while guarding those details. Got a product you prefer or a guest allergy to plan around? Just tell us and we will clean with that in mind. Hosts who allow pets often pair us with our pet-friendly cleaning too.

Easy Booking for Your Airbnb Cleaning in New York City

Setting up reliable turnovers takes just a few minutes

Booking turnovers with us is simple. Call us, tell us about your rental and your check-in and checkout times, and we build a turnover schedule that fits your calendar. There is no long form and no runaround. We give you a clear price up front so you know exactly what to expect, then our cleaners show up ready to reset the unit to guest-ready standard. Most NYC hosts are surprised how easy the whole thing is start to finish. Begin now on our booking page, peek at the FAQ if you have questions, or reach out here.

Trusted, Background-Checked Cleaners

Handing over keys or a lockbox code to clean your rental when you are not there takes trust, and we take that seriously. Every cleaner on our team is carefully chosen and background-checked, so you feel safe with us in your unit. We are insured, which protects both you and our crew. Many of our New York City hosts rely on us for every turnover, month after month, because they know the job gets done right whether they are in town or not. That trust is something we earn every visit. You can check any cleaning company through the Better Business Bureau before you let anyone in.

Regular Cleaning Plans That Fit New York City Hosting

Per-turnover, weekly, or seasonal visits on your schedule

Hosting in New York City moves fast, and bookings can stack up overnight. A regular plan keeps your rental guest-ready without you thinking about it. Pick per-turnover cleans for every checkout, a weekly schedule during peak season, or seasonal deep cleans to keep reviews high. You can change your plan anytime as your calendar shifts. The goal is to take cleaning off your plate so you never scramble before a check-in. Browse our custom cleaning plans to build one that fits.

Clear Pricing With No Surprises

Nobody likes a bill that lands over the quote, least of all when you are running a rental on thin margins. We keep our pricing honest and easy to follow. The cost depends on the size of your unit and the type of turnover, and we tell you the price before we start. No hidden fees, no upsells you did not ask for, no confusion. It is all spelled out on our pricing page.
We think a good Airbnb cleaning in New York City should be worth every dollar, and it usually pays for itself in better reviews and repeat bookings. When you add up the time you save, the stress you skip, and the five-star ratings, the value speaks for itself. We have hosts who told us our turnovers lifted their listing's rating, and that word of mouth is how we have grown. Looking for affordable cleaning that still does the job right? That is us.

We are not just a company that cleans in New York City. We are part of the rhythm of this city, with our home base right here in East Elmhurst, Queens. Our cleaners know the buildings, the lockbox setups, and the little things that make a turnover go smoothly, from doorman towers in Midtown to walk-ups in the East Village. When you hire us, you support a local team that cares about doing right by its neighbors.

My Astoria one-bedroom gets back-to-back summer bookings and they keep up perfectly. Fresh linens, restocked toiletries, and they flag anything a guest broke. Great with my tenant's cat on the floor below too.

After a long-term guest left my Harlem rental rough, they did a deep clean that brought it right back to listing quality. Oven, grout, everything. My next guest left five stars and mentioned how clean it was.

Nope, you do not have to be there. Most of our New York City hosts manage bookings remotely and leave a lockbox code or doorman access so we can turn the unit over between guests. We are insured and our cleaners are background-checked, so your rental is in safe hands whether you are in town or not.

The price depends on the size of your unit and the type of turnover, like a quick reset between guests versus a seasonal deep clean. We always give you a clear quote before we start, with no hidden fees. A studio in the East Village costs less than a two-bedroom in Brooklyn, so we price each turnover to fit the real unit.
