House Cleaning Service

A few Decembers back, a host on Sixth Avenue in Park Slope called us in a panic. She had sixteen relatives coming for a holiday dinner in two days, a parlor floor that had not had a real clean since the leaves fell, and an oven she was too nervous to open. We came in the next morning, scrubbed the kitchen and bath, dusted the moldings and the mantel, washed the windows, and had the brownstone glowing by the time the first guests rang the bell. She told us later it was the calmest holiday she had hosted in years. That kind of just-in-time rescue is everyday work for a holiday cleaning service in Brooklyn, where homes fill up fast and the calendar gives no mercy.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has handled holiday cleaning across Brooklyn for years, from the brownstones of Clinton Hill to the walk-ups of Crown Heights and the waterfront condos near the Gowanus Canal. A holiday clean has to be thorough and fast, since the guests are already on the way, and we treat it that way. Our cleaners show up on time, bring their own gear, and ready your home top to bottom before the doorbell rings. You can book a holiday clean in minutes, and we give you a clear price before anyone starts.

House Cleaning Service

The holidays are the busiest hosting stretch of the year, and a good base clean makes all the difference. Our house cleaning service in Brooklyn covers the everyday chores that pile up fast in a packed December, like floors, dusting, counters, and bathrooms, so your home is guest-ready and stays that way through the season. A clean home is one less thing to worry about with so much else on your plate.
We send the same cleaners back whenever the schedule allows, so they learn your home before the big day. In a tight Bushwick railroad flat or a wide Bed-Stuy parlor floor, that familiarity counts. They learn which window sticks, where you keep the good dishes, and how you like the kitchen left so it is ready for cooking.
Want a clean before the party and another after? Just say so. Many Brooklyn hosts book one visit to prep and one to recover. Our regular cleaning plans bend to fit the season, and the pricing stays plain with nothing tacked on later. Our FAQ page answers the common questions before you book.

Maid Service

Hosting back to back through December wears a home down fast, and a steady maid service keeps it from falling behind. Our maid service in Brooklyn handles the regular run of dusting, vacuuming, wiping counters, and washing dishes between gatherings, so each new set of guests walks into a clean home. With so much cooking and company, having that off your plate is a real relief.
Brooklyn homes come in every shape, and a good maid service reads the room. In a tight one-bedroom near Atlantic Avenue, every surface counts when guests arrive, so we work top to bottom and hit the spots people forget. In a bigger Crown Heights floor-through with a long table and a formal dining room, the extra space and the holiday spread need more time to do right.
We keep it flexible. A dinner one weekend and a brunch the next? Tell us and we adjust. A maid service should fit your holiday schedule, not box you in. Many neighbors book the big holiday clean first, then keep a steady plan through the season. Here is what a standard holiday clean with us usually covers.
Every holiday cleaning visit in Brooklyn covers the host-ready tasks below, and we can add more based on what your home and your guest list need.

Apartment Cleaning

Holiday cleaning a Brooklyn apartment is its own kind of job, and the building shapes the work. Prewar walk-ups in Crown Heights have plaster walls, original parquet, and radiators that throw dust onto every sill right when you need the place to shine. Glassy new units near the Williamsburg waterfront need streak-free care so the big windows sparkle for guests. Our apartment cleaning in Brooklyn meets each one where it is, focusing on the rooms guests actually use, like the kitchen, the dining area, the living room, and the guest bath. A holiday clean goes further than a standard visit where it counts most, so the home looks its best when the doorbell rings. Hosting after a long gap since the last real clean? Pair it with our Brooklyn deep cleaning service for a full reset first.

Deep Cleaning Service

Sometimes the holidays call for more than a surface tidy, especially if it has been a while since the last real scrub. Our deep cleaning service in Brooklyn reaches the places a normal clean skips, like inside the oven before the turkey goes in, behind the fridge, the grout in the guest bath, and the dusty tops of door frames. Before a big holiday dinner, that level of detail is what makes a home feel truly ready for company.
Once the gatherings wrap up, a deep clean is also the perfect after-party reset, clearing the spills, the crumbs, and the wine rings before normal life starts back up. December books up fast, so we suggest reserving your holiday clean a couple of weeks ahead, especially around Thanksgiving and the last weeks of the year. Want to prep first? Our blog has a useful guide on deep cleaning versus standard cleaning.

Why Brooklyn Hosts Call Green Hands First

The holidays bring no shortage of stress, so why do so many Brooklyn hosts trust us with the big clean? It comes down to trust and timing. We hire careful, friendly cleaners, we show up when we say we will, and we treat every home like it is ours to get ready for company. We are not a faceless app sending a different stranger each time. We are a local team that knows how tight the holiday calendar runs and stands behind the work. If a corner is not right, we come back and make it right. Read what people say on our reviews page or get the story on our about us page.
Holiday cleaning in Brooklyn comes with quirks you do not find elsewhere. Many homes are old walk-ups and brownstones where the kitchen and dining room sit close together, so cooking smells and grease spread fast through a holiday feast, and the place needs a thorough reset before and after. Radiator heat across the older buildings around Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue throws extra dust onto sills and shelves right in the middle of hosting season.
Then there is getting the crowd in. Brownstone stoops, fourth-floor walk-ups off Smith Street, and parking that vanishes near Grand Army Plaza during the holidays all make hosting harder. We handle the cleaning so you can focus on the guests and the cooking, not on scrubbing the bathroom an hour before everyone arrives. Many hosts give us a key so we can prep the home while they shop and cook.
Brooklyn homes vary widely, and each holiday-cleans differently. A limestone rowhouse in Bed-Stuy has original moldings and a long dining room built for a feast. A railroad flat in Bushwick has rooms in a line that need smart tidying for a crowd. A glass condo near the Barclays Center has open space and big windows that show every smudge. We size up the home in front of us instead of running one rigid routine.
Timing is everything at the holidays. The weeks around Thanksgiving and the run to New Year's send the whole borough into hosting mode at once, so we book up fast and suggest reserving early. We can split the work into a before-the-party prep and an after-the-party recovery, so you start and end the gathering with a clean home. We have this rhythm down because we clean across Brooklyn every December.
All of this is to say we are not holiday cleaning some generic box from a checklist. We are getting a Brooklyn home ready for company, with every quirk this big, lively borough throws at us during the busiest season of the year. That local know-how is the gap between a frantic morning of scrubbing and a calm, ready home when the first guest knocks. You can see the full list of spots we cover on our Brooklyn locations page.

Green Holiday Cleaning That Is Safe for Kids and Pets

Host-ready cleaning power that stays gentle on your family, your guests, and your home
Our name is the whole idea. Green Hands holiday cleans with methods and products that go easy on the people and pets filling your home over the season. Brooklyn is packed with young families and pet owners, and a lot of them worry about harsh chemical smells lingering in a closed apartment, especially with food on the table and little ones underfoot. We hear that often, so we reach for safer products that cut grime without leaving a sharp smell behind. You can read about safer options through the EPA Safer Choice program.
Gentler cleaning is also kinder to the old surfaces this borough is full of. Strong chemicals wear down original parquet, vintage subway tile, and painted radiators over time. Our methods protect those details while still cutting the holiday grease and grime. Got an allergy or a product you trust? Tell us and we will clean around it, which matters most with guests of all ages coming through. For more on indoor air, the EPA indoor air quality guide is worth a read. You can also meet the crew on our our cleaners page.

Easy Booking for Your Holiday Cleaning in Brooklyn

Getting your holiday clean on the calendar takes just a few minutes

Booking a holiday clean with us is simple. Give us a call, tell us about your home and when the guests arrive, and we will set a time that gets you ready in good time. No long form, no runaround. We give you a clear price up front so nothing surprises you, then our cleaners arrive ready to work and you get your time back for cooking and family. Most Brooklyn hosts are surprised how smoothly the whole thing runs from the first call to the last polished room. Head to our booking page or our contact page to start.

Trusted, Background-Checked Cleaners

Letting someone into your home during the holidays takes a lot of trust, and we do not treat it lightly. Every cleaner on our team is carefully chosen and background-checked, so you feel safe having us in your space while you run errands or cook. We are insured, which protects both you and our crew. Plenty of our Brooklyn clients leave a key or building code so we can ready the home while they shop for the feast. We earn that trust on every visit and never take it for granted. Read our promise on the guarantee page, and the Better Business Bureau has solid tips on vetting any home service.

Regular Cleaning Plans That Fit Brooklyn Holidays

Before-the-party and after-the-party visits on your schedule

The holidays in Brooklyn move fast, with one gathering rolling into the next. A regular plan keeps your home ready through the whole stretch without you thinking about it. Book a visit before each party to prep and one after to recover, or a steady weekly stop to hold the line from Thanksgiving to New Year's. You can shift the plan anytime the calendar changes. The goal is to take cleaning off your plate so you can actually enjoy the season. See how it works on our Brooklyn maid service page.

Clear Pricing With No Surprises

Nobody likes a bill bigger than the quote, especially with holiday spending already piling up. We keep holiday cleaning pricing honest and easy to follow. The cost tracks the size of your home and how much work it needs to be guest-ready, like a greasy oven, dusty moldings, or a place that has not been cleaned since fall, and we tell you the number before we start. No hidden fees, no upsells you never asked for, no guessing.
A good holiday cleaning service in Brooklyn should be worth every dollar, especially when it hands you back the hours before a big gathering. Add up the time you save, the stress you skip, and a home that is calm and ready when guests arrive, and the value speaks for itself. We have neighbors who tell us the holiday clean is what makes the season feel manageable, and that word of mouth is how we have grown. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

We are not just a company that cleans in Brooklyn over the holidays. We are part of the beat of this borough year round. Our cleaners know the buildings, the avenues, and the small stuff that makes the season special here, from the holiday markets near Grand Army Plaza to the strings of lights along the brownstone stoops in Park Slope. Hire us and you are backing a local team that cares about doing right by its neighbors. We plan to keep getting Brooklyn homes ready for company for years to come. Hiring locally? We are always growing the team.

FAQs

Here are the questions Brooklyn hosts ask us most about our holiday cleaning service. If yours is not here, just call and we will be glad to help. You can also browse our full FAQ page.
How fast can you send a holiday cleaning service to my Brooklyn apartment?
In most cases we can ready your Brooklyn home within a day or two of your call, and we can sometimes fit same-day or next-day jobs when guests are close. December is our busiest stretch, since the whole borough hosts at once around Thanksgiving and New Year's, so we suggest booking a couple of weeks ahead to lock the slot before your gathering.

Can you do a holiday cleaning before and after my party in Brooklyn?
Yes, that is one of our most popular holiday bookings. We come in before the party to get the home guest-ready, then back the morning after to clear the spills, crumbs, and dishes, so you start and end the gathering with a clean home. Just tell us both dates when you book and we will hold the slots.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
How much does holiday cleaning in Brooklyn usually cost?
The price depends on the size of your home and how much work it needs to be guest-ready, like a greasy oven, dusty moldings, or a place that has not been cleaned since fall. We always give a clear quote before we start, with no hidden fees. A small studio near the Southside costs less than a large Bed-Stuy rowhouse, so we price each job to the actual home.
Black five-point star icon on a white background
Should I book my Brooklyn holiday cleaning before or after Thanksgiving?
Both fill up fast, so the earlier the better. The weeks before Thanksgiving and the run to New Year's are the busiest of our year in Brooklyn, since everyone hosts at once. If you have a date in mind, call a couple of weeks ahead and we will lock the slot that lines up with your guests.

Do you use green products for holiday cleaning in Brooklyn?
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 guests of all ages, with no harsh fumes lingering around the food and the table. If you have an allergy or a product you prefer, just let us know and we will clean with that in mind.
