Maid Service
One January, a tenant on West 181st Street in upper Manhattan
reached out the night before her landlord walked through. Two years of radiator soot had settled into the window tracks, the oven racks had a baked-on crust, and the bathroom grout had gone gray. She figured no one could turn it around in a morning. We sent a crew at eight, opened the windows to the cold, and worked the apartment from the ceiling fans down to the floor edges. By noon the tile was bright again and the place smelled like nothing but clean air. That is the kind of rescue a real deep cleaning service in New York City handles without blinking.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has been digging into the grime that regular cleaning leaves behind for years, all across the five boroughs. We are a local deep cleaning service
that knows how this city builds up dirt, from the cooking grease in a Flushing walk-up kitchen to the construction dust that drifts through a new condo near Hudson Yards. Our cleaners come on time, carry their own gear, and treat every home like it is the only one on the schedule. Whether you want one heavy reset or a deep clean to start a recurring plan, we make it easy to get back to a home that feels truly clean.
Maid Service
Plenty of New Yorkers do not have a free weekend to scrub behind the stove. That is where our maid service fits in. Once a deep clean has reset your home, a steady maid visit keeps the everyday mess from piling back up, the dusting, the floors, the counters, the dishes, so your days off go to the High Line or a slice at your corner spot, not your bathroom tiles. You can read more on our maid service page.
Our maid service in New York City bends around your week, not the other way around. Some clients book weekly, some every other week, and some just want a monthly touch-up between deep cleans. We try to send the same cleaners each time, so they learn your home, like which closet holds the vacuum and how you want the kitchen left. Those small habits add up to a place that always feels looked after. See real customer reviews
from neighbors who switched to a regular plan.
We keep it flexible and the pricing plain. A busy stretch with guests coming or a quiet week of just the basics, either way you tell us and we adjust. A maid service should make life lighter, so we skip the surprise fees and post clear numbers right on our pricing page. Want to lock a slot now? Head to our booking page.
Apartment Cleaning
Cleaning a New York City apartment is its own puzzle. So much of the housing here is old, prewar walk-ups in Washington Heights, cast-iron lofts in SoHo, postwar co-ops along the Grand Concourse, each one holding dirt in its own way. Newer glass towers near the waterfront streak if you wipe them wrong. Our apartment cleaning service
handles all of it, because we have cleaned thousands of homes from Inwood down to the Financial District.
Tight spaces reward smart cleaning. In a railroad flat off the 7 line in Queens, every inch matters, so we work top to bottom and hit the spots people skip, the baseboards, the window tracks, the gap behind the toilet. Big open lofts come with the opposite challenge, since loft windows and high ceilings collect dust that needs a ladder and patience to reach. We bring the tools for both.
Your home is personal, and we clean it that way. Renters bring us in to guard a deposit ahead of a move-out. Owners want the value a tidy place protects and the calm of walking into something spotless after a long shift. Below is the ground we usually cover on a deep apartment clean.
Each deep cleaning visit in New York City starts with the tasks listed here, then we tailor the rest to whatever your place is asking for. Got a special request? Drop it on the booking page.
Scrubbing oven interiors, stovetops, and the grease behind kitchen appliances
Cutting through bathroom grout, tile, tubs, and hard-water buildup on fixtures
Dusting ceiling fans, light fixtures, window tracks, and high ledges
Wiping baseboards, door frames, switch plates, and behind movable furniture
Detailed vacuuming and mopping, including hardwood seams and tile corners
Deep Cleaning Service
Sometimes a quick wipe just will not cut it, and that is exactly when a deep cleaning service earns its keep. A deep clean gets into the places a normal visit skips, inside the oven, behind the fridge, the grout seams, the tops of door frames, and the dusty backs of radiators. Requests spike every spring, once people air out their rooms and spot the gray film that winter left behind, and they spike again ahead of big moments like a birthday, a holiday dinner, or a landlord inspection. It is also the smart first step if your place has gone a while without a real cleaning, since it gives our regular maid visits
a clean base to maintain. A deep clean runs longer than a standard visit, but you end up with a home that feels clean right down into the corners. The U.S. EPA points out
that indoor air can carry more dust and allergens than the air outside, which is one more reason a true deep clean is worth the time.


Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
Moving in or out of a New York City apartment is stressful enough without the cleaning hanging over you. Our move-in / move-out cleaning lifts that off your plate. If you are moving out, a spotless place is the surest way to get your full deposit back, and city landlords notice the difference. If you are moving in, starting clean means you are not setting up your life on top of the last tenant's grime. New York's housing agency, NYS Homes and Community Renewal, lays out what landlords can hold from a deposit, and a documented deep clean helps you stand on solid ground.
This clean reaches deeper because an empty unit opens up everything furniture normally hides. We get inside cabinets and closets, take the kitchen and bathroom down to the surface, clear out every drawer, then finish the floors once the rooms stand bare. Leases here flip in big waves at month-end and again during the fall rush, so reserving your move-in / move-out cleaning
several days ahead keeps your preferred time open.

Why New York City Neighbors Call Green Hands First
This city has no shortage of cleaning companies, so what keeps New Yorkers with us? Trust, plainly. The people we bring on are careful and friendly, we arrive when promised, and we handle each home the way we would handle our own. You are not getting a faceless app that rotates a new stranger through your door each week. You get a local crew that takes the work seriously and backs it up. If anything falls short, we return and set it straight, no hassle. Get to know us on our about page
or meet our cleaners.

Cleaning in New York City brings challenges you will not find in the suburbs. Apartments near the water, from Battery Park City to the Greenpoint waterfront, deal with salt air and grit that settle on sills and floors. Older buildings around the Grand Concourse and the Lower East Side run on radiator heat, which dries the winter air and kicks up a film of dust every time it clanks on.
Then there is access. Anyone who lives here knows about narrow stairwells, slow freight elevators, and walk-ups with no elevator at all. Our cleaners plan for the climb and the building rules, and many co-ops want a certificate of insurance before a vendor comes in, which we are glad to provide. We handle the cleaning so you are not running errands and scrubbing on the same day off.
Homes here come in every shape, and no two clean the same. A cast-iron loft in TriBeCa has soaring windows and open floor. A railroad flat in Bushwick strings its rooms together with no hallway between them. A new condo by the Brooklyn waterfront
wears modern finishes that need a soft, streak-free touch. We shape the work around whatever home is in front of us, never a fixed routine stamped on every job.
The calendar shapes the job too. Spring drives pollen through open windows, so dusting and floors get the heavy attention. Summer humidity feeds mildew in bathrooms, so we keep a close watch on grout and corners. Winter tracks road salt off the sidewalks, which chews up hardwood and entry rugs. These rhythms are familiar to us because the work runs year-round, across every borough.
The point is simple: we are not running a generic box through a checklist. We are cleaning a New York City home, with every quirk this dense, fast, one-of-a-kind city hands over. That local know-how separates a clean that fades by tomorrow from one built around the way you actually live.
Gentle Green Cleaning Kids and Pets Can Live With
Cleaning products that are gentle on your family and your home
Our name is not just for show. Green Hands leans on cleaning methods and products that are kind to the people and pets sharing your space. New York City is full of young families and pet owners, and a lot of them worry about harsh chemical smells trapped in a small apartment. We hear that often, so we use safer products that cut through grime without leaving heavy fumes behind. Look for the EPA Safer Choice label
if you want to know what gentler cleaning really means.
Softer cleaning also guards the aging surfaces this city is full of. Strong chemicals slowly break down original hardwood, old subway tile, and the paint on cast-iron radiators. Milder methods leave those details intact while still pulling the home clean. Have a product you trust or an allergy on our radar? Tell us and we will plan around it.

Handing over the keys to your space asks for trust, and we never treat that lightly.

Plenty of New York City clients hand us a key or set up building access because they have counted on us for months and years. We earn that confidence visit by visit, never taking it for granted. Look up our record with the Better Business Bureau
and read our satisfaction guarantee.
Regular Cleaning Plans That Fit New York City Life
Set Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly Visits to Suit You
This city runs fast, and dust and dishes never pause for it. A standing plan holds your home steady so you can stop tracking it. Go weekly with a full household and a crowded calendar, biweekly for a reliable reset without the every-week stop, or monthly as a light touch between deep cleans. Shift the plan whenever life turns. The aim is to lift cleaning off your shoulders for good, so the place feels ready the moment you step in. Browse the choices on our recurring service page.
Clear Pricing With No Surprises
A bill that overshoots the quote sits badly with everyone, us included. So we keep our numbers straight and simple to read. What you pay hinges on your home's size and the kind of cleaning it calls for, and you hear that figure before a single surface gets touched. No buried fees, no upsells you never asked about, no guesswork. It is all laid out on the pricing page.
A solid deep cleaning service in New York City ought to repay every dollar. Tally the hours it frees, the stress it spares, and the relief of a home that is clean to the bone, and the math makes itself. Some clients tell us a standing clean is the smartest spend on their monthly budget, and that kind of word of mouth has carried us across the city.
Part of the New York City Community
We do more than clean addresses in New York City. We move with the daily beat of this place. The crew knows the buildings, the train lines, and the small things that give each block its character, from the dawn line at the bodega counter to the strollers rolling through the neighborhood parks. Hiring us puts your money behind a local team set on treating its neighbors right. We intend to keep cleaning homes across this city for many years ahead. Find where we work on our locations page.

What New York City Neighbors Say About Our Deep Cleaning
I booked a deep clean before my co-op board inspection in Washington Heights and the crew got my oven and grout looking new. They showed up on time, were friendly, and left the place spotless. The board had nothing to flag.
Carmen R.
Washington Heights, Manhattan

My loft in TriBeCa collects dust on every high ledge and they handled it like pros. Tall windows, exposed pipes, the whole place. Fair price and a deep clean that actually lasted.
Daniel S.
TriBeCa, Manhattan

We have two kids and a cat, so the gentle products mattered a lot to us. No harsh smell afterward and the apartment was truly clean down to the baseboards. Highly recommend for any family.
Aisha M.
Park Slope, Brooklyn

Needed a deep clean on short notice before family flew in. They saved the day and the kitchen behind the stove had not looked that good since I moved in. Calling them again for sure.
Kevin T.
Jackson Heights, Queens

Moved out of my place near the Grand Concourse and got my whole deposit back after their move-out deep clean. Inside the cabinets, the closets, everything. The landlord was honestly impressed.

FAQs
These are the questions New York City neighbors raise most about our deep cleaning service. Not seeing yours? Reach out by phone and we will gladly help, or browse the full FAQ page.
How fast can you send a deep cleaning service to my New York City apartment?
Most of the time we can deep clean your New York City home a day or two after you reach out, and when the calendar has room we sometimes manage same-day or next-day work. For month-end move-outs, when leases across the city change hands quickly, booking a few days early locks in the slot you are after.
Does someone have to be present for my deep cleaning service in New York City?
Not at all, you can be elsewhere. Lots of New York City clients hand off a key or arrange building access so the deep clean happens while they are at the office or running around town. We carry insurance and screen our cleaners, and we can issue a certificate of insurance if your co-op or condo board requests one.
How much does a deep cleaning service in New York City usually cost?
Cost comes down to how big your home is and how much buildup we are clearing, whether that is a standard deep clean or a heavier post-move or post-renovation job. You always get a clear quote before any work starts, with nothing hidden. A downtown studio runs less than a sprawling uptown apartment, so each job is priced to match the real space.
Can your deep cleaning service take on old walk-up buildings across New York City?
Yes, that is routine for us. A huge share of New York City housing sits in prewar walk-ups, with tight, sloping staircases and no elevator, common uptown and across the older Brooklyn streets. Our crew shows up set for the climb and knows how to treat vintage tile, original hardwood, and painted radiators without harming them.
Do you offer green deep cleaning with your service in New York City?
Absolutely, green cleaning sits at the core of Green Hands. We reach for milder products that protect kids, pets, and the aging surfaces found throughout New York City homes. Have an allergy or a preferred product on hand? Tell us and the deep clean gets done with that in mind.
What areas does your deep cleaning service cover around New York City?
Our deep cleaning reaches all five boroughs, with heavy coverage in Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn from the East Elmhurst base. If you are somewhere in the city and unsure we make it to your street, ring us quickly. Odds are good we already clean somewhere close by.

Want to walk into a home that feels clean clear down to the corners? Phone Green Hands Cleaning Services today at (212) 812-9418 and put the heavy work in our New York City cleaners' hands.
