House Cleaning Service
A couple years back, a tenant in a Chelsea high-rise called us shaking. Her last cleaner had cracked a glass coffee table and just vanished, no insurance, no way to make it right. She found us, asked one question first, "are you actually insured and bonded?" and we said yes, here is the paperwork. That is the whole reason an insured and bonded cleaning service in New York City
matters. When you hand a stranger your keys, you want to know you are covered if something goes wrong. Most folks do not think about it until a lamp breaks or a ring goes missing, and by then it is too late.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has been cleaning homes across the five boroughs for years, and we carry full insurance and bonding on every single job. That means if a cleaner ever damages something or, heaven forbid, anything goes missing, you are protected, not left holding the bill. We are a local team, not a faceless app, and you can read more about us
or check our reviews
before you ever let us in the door. Want the short version of why we vet so hard? It is simple. Your home is your safe place, and we treat it that way.
House Cleaning Service
Most New Yorkers do not have spare hours to scrub a tub after a 10-hour day. Thats where our house cleaning service in New York City
comes in. We handle the dusting, the floors, the kitchen, the bathroom, all of it, while you get your evening back. And every cleaner who walks in is covered under our insurance and bond, so the work gets done and you stay protected the whole time.
We send the same cleaners when we can, so over time they learn your home. They know you like the throw pillows fluffed a certain way and which cabinet hides the good cleaner. Some clients book us weekly, some monthly, and you can set up a plan on our booking page
in just a few minutes. Need a heavier reset now and then? A deep cleaning service
pairs perfectly with regular visits.
We keep things flexible and our pricing clear. Busy week with company coming, or a quiet week where you just need the basics? Just tell us. A good house cleaning service should fit your life, not box you in. See exactly what things cost on our pricing page, with no surprise fees tacked on at the end.
Maid Service
Cleaning a New York apartment is its own kind of job. Pre-war walk-ups have radiator dust and original hardwood that shows every speck, while new glass towers need careful wiping so they do not streak. Our maid service in New York City
handles both, and every maid on the team is background-checked and bonded before they ever set foot in your place.
Small spaces need smart cleaning. In a tight one-bedroom, every corner counts, so we work top to bottom and hit the spots people skip, like baseboards, sills, and behind the toilet. Bigger lofts and condos collect dust fast and need more time to do right. We adjust to the home in front of us. Whether you live in a studio
or a loft, we have cleaned one like it.
We treat your home like it matters, because to you it does. Renters love that we help them get their deposit back, and owners love that a clean home holds its value. Here is what a standard maid visit with us usually covers. If you are new to all this, our FAQ page
answers the questions we hear most.
Every cleaning visit in New York City includes the core tasks below, all done by an insured and bonded cleaner, and we can add more based on what your home needs.
Dusting all surfaces, shelves, light fixtures, and window sills
Vacuuming and mopping floors, including tricky hardwood gaps
Scrubbing and sanitizing the bathroom, tub, sink, and toilet
Wiping down kitchen counters, stovetop, and outside of appliances
Taking out the trash and tidying each room so it looks neat
Deep Cleaning Service
Sometimes a regular wipe-down is not enough, and that is when our deep cleaning service
steps in. A deep clean reaches the places normal cleaning skips, like inside the oven, behind the fridge, grout lines, and the dusty tops of door frames. We see a lot of these requests in spring, when New Yorkers throw open the windows and finally notice the winter grime, and again before big events like a birthday or a holiday dinner. The EPA has a helpful guide on safer cleaning products
if you want to know what goes into a healthy clean. A deep clean takes more time than a standard visit, but the result is a home that feels truly clean down to the corners, and our spring cleaning
plans build right off it.
Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
Moving in or out of a New York apartment is stressful enough without worrying about cleaning. Our move-in / move-out cleaning
takes that weight off your shoulders. For folks moving out, a spotless apartment is the best way to get a full security deposit back, and the New York State Homes and Community Renewal
office lays out tenant rights on deposits if you want the details. For folks moving in, starting fresh means you are not unpacking on top of someone else dust.
This kind of clean goes deep, since an empty apartment lets us reach spots furniture usually blocks. We clean inside cabinets and closets, scrub the kitchen and bath top to bottom, wipe out drawers, and handle the floors once everything is clear. New York has a ton of moving traffic at the end of the month and the start of fall when leases turn, so book your end of lease cleaning
a few days ahead to lock in your spot.
Why New York Neighbors Call Green Hands First
There are plenty of cleaning companies in the city, so why do so many New Yorkers stick with us? It comes down to trust. We hire careful, friendly cleaners, we show up when we say we will, and we are fully insured and bonded on every job. We are not an app that sends a different stranger each time. You can meet the people behind the work on our our cleaners page, and if something is ever not right, we make it right. Plain and simple.
Living in New York comes with cleaning challenges you do not find elsewhere. Apartments near the water, from Battery Park City to the Brooklyn waterfront, deal with extra grit and salt air that settles on sills and floors. Older buildings often have radiator heat, which dries the air in winter and kicks up dust every time it clicks on.
Then there is the parking and the stairs. Anyone who lives here knows how hard a spot is to find, which is one more reason people like that we handle the cleaning so they do not run errands and clean on the same day off. Plenty of walk-ups have narrow, steep stairs and no elevator, so our cleaners come prepared and never let a fourth-floor climb slow them down.
New York also has a real mix of homes, and each one cleans differently. A converted loft has wide open space and big industrial windows. A railroad apartment has rooms lined up with no hallway. A new condo has modern finishes that need gentle, streak-free care. We adjust how we clean based on the home in front of us, never a one-size-fits-all routine. If you own a unit, our condo cleaning
and townhouse cleaning
pages go deeper.
Seasons matter too. Spring brings pollen through open windows, so we focus on dusting and floors to help folks breathe easier. Summer humidity can lead to mildew in bathrooms, so we watch grout and corners. Winter means road salt tracked in off the sidewalks, which is rough on hardwood and entryway rugs. We see these patterns because we clean here all year long. For more on indoor air, the EPA indoor air quality
resources are worth a read.
All of this is to say we are not just cleaning a generic apartment from a checklist. We are cleaning a New York home, with all the quirks that come with this busy, one-of-a-kind city. That local know-how, paired with full insurance and bonding, is the difference between a clean that looks fine for a day and one that actually fits how you live.

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 uses cleaning methods and products that are gentle on the people and pets who live in your home. New York has a lot of young families and pet owners, and many worry about harsh chemical smells lingering in small apartments. We hear that often, so we lean on safer products through our eco-friendly cleaning
and pet-friendly cleaning
options.
Green cleaning is also better for the older surfaces common in this city. Harsh cleaners can wear down original hardwood, vintage tile, and painted radiators over time. Gentler methods protect those details while still getting your home clean. If you have a product you prefer or an allergy we should know about, just tell us and we will work with it.
Easy Booking for Your Insured Cleaning Service in New York City
Getting started takes just a few minutes
Booking a cleaning with us is simple. Give us a call, tell us about your home and what you need, and we will set up a time that works. There is no long form and no runaround. We give you a clear price up front, and you can lock in a slot right on our booking page. Then our insured, bonded cleaners show up ready to work, and you get your day back. Most New Yorkers are surprised how easy the whole thing is from start to finish.
Trusted, Background-Checked, Insured and Bonded Cleaners
Letting someone into your home takes trust, and we take that seriously. Every cleaner on our team is carefully chosen and background-checked, so you feel safe having us in your space. We are fully insured and bonded, which protects both you and our crew if anything ever goes wrong. You can verify a contractor before hiring anyone through the Better Business Bureau, and we welcome that. Many clients give us a key or building access because they have come to rely on us over the years. That trust is something we earn every single visit, and our guarantee
backs it up.
Regular Cleaning Plans That Fit New York Life
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits on your schedule
Life in New York is busy, and the dishes and dust do not wait. A regular cleaning plan keeps your home in good shape without you having to think about it. Pick weekly visits for a full household, biweekly for a steady reset, or monthly for a lighter touch. You can change your plan anytime as life shifts, or set up something tailored through our custom cleaning plans. The goal is to take cleaning off your plate for good.
Clear Pricing With No Surprises
Nobody likes a bill that comes in higher than the quote. We keep our pricing honest and easy to understand. The cost depends on the size of your home and the type of cleaning you need, and we tell you the price before we start. No hidden fees, no upsells you did not ask for, no confusion. See it all laid out on our pricing page.
We think a good insured and bonded cleaning service in New York City should be worth every dollar. When you add up the time you save, the stress you skip, and the comfort of knowing you are fully protected, the value speaks for itself. We have neighbors who told us hiring us was the best money they spend each month, and that word of mouth is how we have grown. Looking for budget options? See our affordable cleaning service
page.
Part of the New York Community
We are not just a company that cleans in New York. We are part of the rhythm of this city. Our cleaners know the buildings, the streets, and the little things that make each block special. When you hire us, you are supporting a local team that cares about doing right by its neighbors. Curious whether we reach your block? Our neighborhood guides on the blog

What New York Neighbors Say About Us
I picked Green Hands because they were the only ones who showed me proof they were insured and bonded. A glass shelf got bumped during the clean and they handled it right away, no drama. That is exactly why I asked in the first place.
Sarah M.
Chelsea, Manhattan
I have a regular biweekly cleaning now and it has changed my week. Coming home to a clean apartment after a long stretch is the best feeling. The same two cleaners come each time and they are wonderful.
James T.
Astoria, Queens
My loft near the waterfront collects so much dust and they handle it like pros. Big windows, hardwood floors, the works. Always a great job and very fair pricing.
Priya K.
Battery Park City, Manhattan
We have two little kids and a dog, so the green products were a big deal for us. No harsh smells and the place is spotless. Knowing they are insured gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommend to any family.
Daniel R.
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
Needed a deep clean before hosting a dinner and they saved the day on short notice. The oven and bathroom looked brand new. I will be calling them again for sure.

FAQs
Here are some of the questions New York neighbors ask us most often about our insured and bonded cleaning service. If you do not see your question here, just give us a call and we will be happy to help.
What does an insured and bonded cleaning service in New York City actually protect me from?
Insurance covers accidental damage, like a broken vase or a scratched floor, and bonding protects you in the rare case something goes missing during a clean. With Green Hands, both are in place on every New York City job, so you are never left paying for a mistake that was not yours.
How fast can you send a cleaning service to my New York City apartment?
In most cases we can clean your New York City home within a day or two of your call, and we can sometimes fit in same-day or next-day jobs when our schedule allows. For move-out cleanings around the end of the month, when leases turn over fast, we suggest booking a few days ahead so you get the slot you want.
Do I need to be home during my cleaning service in New York City?
Nope, you do not have to be home. Many of our New York City clients leave a key or give building access so we can clean while they are at work or out. Because we are fully insured and our cleaners are background-checked, your home is in safe hands whether you are there or not.
How much does an insured cleaning service in New York City usually cost?
The price depends on the size of your home and the type of clean, like a standard visit, a deep clean, or a move-out. We always give a clear quote before we start, with no hidden fees. A small studio costs less than a large waterfront loft, so we price each job to fit the actual home.
Can your cleaning service handle older walk-up buildings around New York City?
Yes, and we do it all the time. Lots of New York buildings are pre-war walk-ups with steep, narrow stairs and no elevator. Our cleaners come ready for the climb and know how to care for older floors, tile, and radiators without causing damage, all backed by our insurance.
Do you offer green cleaning with your insured service in New York City?
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 surfaces common in New York homes. If you have an allergy or a product you prefer, just let us know and we will clean with that in mind.
