Maid Service
A co-op owner in a prewar building on West 86th Street called us before a family visit, frustrated that her place still felt grimy after weeks of light tidying. The trouble hid where she rarely looked, behind the radiators, along the picture rails, and in the grout of an old hex-tile bathroom. We came in, worked the apartment from the high moldings down, and by evening the parquet gleamed and the air felt lighter. That kind of reach, the part a fast clean never touches, is the heart of our deep cleaning service in Manhattan. Want to skip ahead and pick a date? Our booking page
takes about two minutes.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has cleaned homes across Manhattan for years, from the prewar co-ops of the Upper West Side to the cast-iron lofts of SoHo and the glass high-rises along the Hudson. We are a local crew that knows how grime builds in this dense, vertical borough, and we go after the corners most people skip. Learn about our team, read our customer reviews, or call (212) 812-9418 when you want a real deep clean.
Maid Service
Most Manhattan residents are short on time, between long office hours and packed subway commutes. Our maid service in Manhattan
keeps the regular mess in check, the dusting, vacuuming, and counter wiping, so grime never builds into a deep-clean job in the first place.
Plenty of folks book a one-time deep clean and then keep it up with a steady visit. We send the same cleaners when we can, so they learn your apartment over a few weeks, like which closet holds the supplies and how you like the kitchen left. For a lighter weekly touch, our house cleaning service
covers the day-to-day while the deep clean handles the heavy work.
We keep it flexible and the price plain. Book weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and shift it whenever life changes. Compare visits on our pricing page, and if you want to read up on hiring home help first, the city posts guidance on NYC.gov.
Apartment Cleaning
Cleaning a Manhattan apartment is its own kind of work. The borough runs from prewar co-ops near Central Park to cast-iron lofts in Tribeca to sleek new glass towers in Hudson Yards, and each ages and dirties differently. Our apartment cleaning service
handles every type, because we have worked these floor plans all over the island.
Small spaces reward careful work. In a studio near Murray Hill, every inch counts, so we go top to bottom and hit the baseboards, window sills, and the spots behind the toilet. Bigger prewar units near the park come with old radiators and high moldings that gather dust and just need more time to do right.
We treat your place like it matters, because to you it does. Renters lean on us to help win back a deposit, and co-op owners like that a clean home holds its value. Here is what a standard apartment clean usually covers, and you can add more on the booking form.
Every apartment cleaning visit in Manhattan covers the core tasks below, and we add extra steps based on what your home needs.
Dusting all surfaces, shelves, light fixtures, and high moldings
Vacuuming and mopping floors, including old parquet seams
Scrubbing and sanitizing the tub, sink, toilet, and tile
Wiping the kitchen counters, stovetop, and the outside of appliances
Emptying the trash and tidying each room so it looks neat
Deep Cleaning Service
When a regular wipe-down stops cutting it, our deep cleaning service takes over. A deep clean reaches what routine cleaning skips, like the inside of the oven, the coils behind the fridge, the grout in the shower, and the dust hiding on top of tall cabinets and behind cast-iron radiators. We see a rush of these in spring, when Manhattan neighbors finally open the windows and spot the winter soot on the sills, and again before big moments like a dinner party in Chelsea or a holiday gathering on the Upper East Side. It also makes a smart first visit if your place has gone a while without a real clean, since it gives us a solid base to maintain after. A deep clean runs longer than a standard stop, and the payoff is a home that feels truly clean down to the corners. The EPA points out
that regular deep cleaning cuts indoor dust and allergens, which counts in tight city apartments. Wondering how often to book one? Our blog covers it in how often you should deep clean.


Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
Moving in or out of a Manhattan apartment is stressful enough without scrubbing on top of it. Our move-in / move-out cleaning
takes that off your plate. For folks heading out, a spotless unit is the surest way to get a full deposit back, and Manhattan landlords and co-op boards notice. For folks moving in, starting clean means you are not unpacking onto the last tenant dust.
Empty rooms let us reach what furniture usually hides. We clean inside cabinets and closets, scrub the kitchen and bathroom top to bottom, wipe out drawers, and finish the floors once everything is clear. Manhattan sees heavy moving traffic at month-end and when fall leases turn, plus strict building move rules, so we suggest booking a few days ahead to lock your slot. Our move-out cleaning checklist
runs through every step.

Why Manhattan Neighbors Call Green Hands First
There are plenty of cleaning companies in the city, so why do so many Manhattan residents stick with us? It comes down to trust. We hire careful, friendly cleaners, we show up when we say we will, and we treat every home like our own. We are not a faceless app that sends a stranger each time. We are a local team that takes pride in the work and stands behind it with our satisfaction guarantee. If something is off, we fix it, plain and simple. You can meet our cleaners
before they ever knock.

Cleaning in Manhattan brings challenges you do not find elsewhere. Street-level soot and traffic exhaust drift up and settle on sills and floors, heaviest in lower-floor units along busy corridors like Lexington Avenue and Broadway. Prewar buildings near Central Park West run on cast-iron radiator heat, which dries the winter air and kicks fine dust into every room each time the steam comes up.
Then there is the building access. Many Manhattan co-ops and rentals run on doormen, certificate-of-insurance rules, and service elevators you have to reserve, which is one more reason people like that we know how to sign in with the front desk and book the freight lift ahead. Older walk-ups in the Village come with their own quirks, like steep, narrow stairs and no elevator that our crew handles without slowing the job.
Manhattan also holds a real mix of homes, and each one cleans differently. A prewar co-op on the Upper West Side has high moldings, parquet, and old tile. A cast-iron loft in SoHo has tall industrial windows and open space that collects dust. A new condo in Hudson Yards has modern finishes that want gentle, streak-free care. We match the method to the home in front of us, never a one-size routine.
Seasons matter here too. Spring drifts pollen and street grit through open windows, so we lean on dusting and floors. Summer humidity can breed mildew in interior bathrooms with little airflow, so we watch grout and corners. Winter tracks road salt in from the sidewalks along the avenues, rough on hardwood and entry mats. We catch these patterns because we clean Manhattan all year.
All of this is to say we are not running a generic checklist on a generic apartment. We are deep cleaning a Manhattan home, with every quirk this dense, vertical, fast-moving borough throws at it. That local know-how is the gap between a clean that looks fine for a day and one that actually fits how you live. Have a question first? Our FAQ page
covers the common ones.
Green Cleaning That Is Safe for Kids and Pets
Cleaning products that are kind to your family and your home
Our name says it all. Green Hands leans on cleaning methods and products that are gentle on the people and pets who share your home. Manhattan is full of families and pet owners in tight apartments, and many worry about harsh chemical smells hanging in a small, closed-up space. We hear that often, so we use safer products that clean hard without strong fumes. You can see which cleaners earn the federal stamp on EPA Safer Choice.
Green cleaning is also kinder to the older surfaces common here. Strong cleaners wear down original parquet, vintage subway tile, and painted radiators over time, while gentler methods protect those details and still get the home clean. If you prefer a certain product or have an allergy we should know about, just tell us and we will work with it. Our blog lists a few picks in eco-friendly cleaning products.

page.

The cost depends on the size of your home and the type of clean you need, and we tell you the number before we start. No hidden fees, no upsells you did not ask for, no confusion. The Better Business Bureau shares smart tips on hiring a cleaning service
if you want to compare.
We think a good deep cleaning service in Manhattan should be worth every dollar.

What Manhattan Neighbors Say About Us
My prewar co-op on the Upper West Side always felt dusty no matter what I did, and they finally got behind the radiators and along the moldings. The whole apartment breathes easier now. Worth every penny.
Eleanor W.
Upper West Side

We had not had a real clean since the baby, and the kitchen grease in our Chelsea place was out of hand. The crew scrubbed behind the stove and fridge and used the green products we asked for. Spotless, no fumes.
Andre P.
Chelsea

My building has a strict certificate-of-insurance rule and a reserved freight elevator, and most vendors balk. These folks handled the paperwork and the front desk, then deep cleaned the whole unit. Same two cleaners, always on time.
Sofia L.
Murray Hill

Hosted a dinner in my Tribeca loft and needed the place reset fast after. They handled the tall windows, the grout, and the floors in one afternoon. Fair price and very friendly. Calling them again.
Daniel M.
Tribeca

Moved out of a walk-up in the East Village and got my full deposit back thanks to their deep clean. They reached spots I did not know got dirty, like the tops of the door frames. Honest quote, no surprises.

FAQs
Here are the questions Manhattan neighbors ask us most about our deep cleaning service. If you do not see yours, give us a call and we are glad to help.
How fast can you send a deep cleaning service to my Manhattan apartment?
In most cases we can deep clean your Manhattan home within a day or two of your call, and we can sometimes fit same-day or next-day jobs when our schedule allows. Around month-end, when leases turn over fast across the borough, we suggest booking a few days ahead to grab the slot you want.
How do you handle co-op and doorman building rules for a deep cleaning service in Manhattan?
We work with Manhattan front desks and co-op boards all the time, so we know how to sign in as a vendor, provide a certificate of insurance, and reserve the service elevator. Just share your building's process when you book, and we will line up the paperwork and freight lift ahead of time.
How much does a deep cleaning service in Manhattan usually cost?
The price depends on the size of your home and how much built-up grime there is, so a studio in Murray Hill costs less than a large prewar co-op by the park. We always give a clear quote before we start, with no hidden fees, so you know the number up front.
Do I need to be home during my deep cleaning service in Manhattan?
Nope, you do not have to be home. Many Manhattan clients leave a key with the doorman so we can deep clean while they are at work or out in the city. We are insured and our cleaners are background-checked, so your home is in safe hands whether you are there or not.
When is the best time to book a deep cleaning service in Manhattan?
Spring is our busiest stretch, when neighbors open the windows and notice winter soot on the sills, and again before summer dinners and holiday gatherings. Booking ahead during those peaks gets you the date you want, though we keep room for last-minute calls when we can.
Do you offer green deep cleaning with your service in Manhattan?
We sure do, and it is part of who we are at Green Hands. We use gentler products that are safer for kids, pets, and the older parquet and tile common in Manhattan prewar homes. If you have an allergy or a product you prefer, just tell us and we will clean with that in mind.
