A mom named Renata called us from a walk-up on Avenue B in the East Village after the flu tore through her household. Three kids had been sick for a week, the whole apartment felt like a petri dish, and she had a newborn nephew coming to visit. She had wiped the counters, but doorknobs, light switches, and the bathroom were a worry she could not shake. We sent a crew the next morning with EPA-registered disinfectants, treated every high-touch surface, and gave her a home she felt safe bringing a baby into. That kind of germ-focused reset is the daily work of a disinfection service in New York City, where apartments are packed tight and illness spreads fast.

Green Hands Cleaning Services has spent years sanitizing homes and small offices across the five boroughs. We are a local team that goes beyond a surface wipe to actually disinfect the spots germs live, using products proven to kill viruses and bacteria. Whether it is a studio in Chelsea after a sick week or a small office in the Financial District during cold season, our crews arrive prepared, bring the right disinfectants, and leave the place clean and safe to touch. Need it handled fast? Our same-day cleaning service and quick online booking make it easy.

Our maid service across New York City fits around your needs and your health concerns. Some clients want disinfecting added to every regular visit, others book a one-time treatment after an illness or before a vulnerable guest arrives. When we can, we send the same cleaners, so they learn your home and the surfaces that need the most attention. If a standing routine sounds right, a regular recurring maid service keeps your place sanitized week to week. You can also browse our customer reviews to see how neighbors rate the work.

Disinfecting is about the high-touch surfaces, not just the visible mess. We treat doorknobs, light switches, faucet handles, cabinet pulls, remote controls, phones, and the bathroom fixtures everyone uses, letting the disinfectant sit the proper dwell time to actually work. We hit the spots people forget, like the fridge handle, the microwave buttons, and the stair rail in a walk-up. Bigger apartments and small offices take more time, with more surfaces to treat right. For a full sanitizing, our apartment cleaning service covers it.

Disinfecting works best on a clean surface, which is why a deep clean often pairs with it. Our deep cleaning service clears the grime, dust, and buildup that can shield germs, so the disinfectant reaches the surface and does its job. We scrub the bathroom and kitchen down, clear the hidden buildup behind and under things, then disinfect the high-touch points once everything is clean. People book a deep clean and disinfect together after a serious illness, before a newborn comes home, or when someone in the house is going through treatment. It runs longer than a basic visit, and you finish with a home that is both deeply clean and genuinely sanitized. If your place needs that, our deep cleaning service brings it, and pairs naturally with disinfection for a healthier home.

This kind of clean goes deep, since an empty apartment lets us reach and treat every surface furniture usually blocks. We scrub the kitchen and bath top to bottom, wipe the insides of cabinets and closets, and disinfect the handles, switches, and fixtures the last tenant touched daily. Lease turnover in New York moves fast, especially at month-end, so booking your move-in / move-out cleaning ahead of time holds your slot. Selling the place instead? Our pre-listing cleaning gets it photo-ready.

New York has no shortage of cleaning outfits, so why do households and small offices keep our number saved? It comes down to trust and a sanitizing that actually works.

We arrive on schedule and treat every space like the people in it are counting on us. We are not an app dropping off a stranger who calls a wipe-down a disinfection. We are a neighborhood crew that takes germ control seriously. If a job misses the mark, we fix it, fast. Learn more about our company or meet the folks behind the work on our cleaners page.
