House Cleaning Service
A buyer closing on a cast-iron loft off Mercer Street called us the week before the move, with a managing agent demanding a certificate of insurance and a narrow freight-elevator window the building shared with three other moves that day. The empty loft still wore the prior owner's dust on the wide-plank floors and a greasy haze over the open kitchen. They wanted it pristine before the movers arrived. We brought ladders for the tall windows, cleaned inside every closet and cabinet, and finished the floors, all inside the elevator slot. The buyer unpacked into a loft that felt new. That kind of on-time, careful handover is everyday work for a move-in / move-out cleaning service in SoHo, where buildings are high-value and the rules are tight.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has spent years turning over lofts and condos across SoHo, the day a lease ends and the day a new one starts. We are a local move-in / move-out cleaning service
that knows what managing agents and condo boards check, from a landmark loft on Greene Street to a new condo near Broome. Our cleaners arrive on schedule, carry their own gear and their certificate of insurance, and treat each handover like our own deposit is on the line. Whether you are emptying a studio or settling into a new loft, we make the turnover painless. Lock a date on our booking page.
House Cleaning Service
A move is the big reset, but a home needs steady care after the boxes are gone. Our house cleaning service keeps a new SoHo place feeling fresh once you have settled in, the dusting, the floors, the counters, the bathrooms, so your first months in a new loft go to the galleries and the shops, not to catching up on chores. Read more on our house cleaning service page.
Our house cleaning service in SoHo works on your schedule. Some clients book a one-time clean to settle in, others set up a regular visit so the new place never slips. We try to send the same cleaners each time, so they learn your home and how you like it kept. Those small habits build into a space that always feels ready. Browse honest customer reviews
from neighbors across downtown.
We keep it flexible and the numbers plain. A busy first month or a quiet stretch of just the basics, either way you say the word and we adjust. A house cleaning service should ease your load, so we skip surprise fees and post clear pricing right on our pricing page. Ready to set a time? Head to the booking page.
Maid Service
Settling into a new SoHo home asks for its own approach. Whether you have landed in a landmark cast-iron loft, a modern condo near Prince Street, or a walk-up above a storefront, our maid service keeps the everyday upkeep from piling up while you unpack and find your footing. Our maid service
covers all of it, because we have cleaned homes all across the neighborhood and the rest of Manhattan.
New homes reward steady cleaning. A regular maid visit hits the spots that build up fast, the kitchen, the bathrooms, the floors, and the dust that gathers while you are still living out of boxes. Open lofts bring their own test, since tall windows, exposed beams, and high ledges collect dust, so we move top to bottom and reach the corners people skip. We bring what each layout needs.
Your home is personal, and we treat it that way. New renters lean on us to keep a deposit safe from day one, since a well-kept apartment is easier to hand back clean later. Owners want the calm of stepping into something spotless after a long day. Below is the ground a move-out deep clean usually covers.
Each move-in / move-out cleaning in SoHo begins with the tasks listed here, then we tailor the rest to whatever the loft or apartment needs. Have a special request? Drop it on the booking page.
Cleaning inside cabinets, closets, drawers, and pantry shelves
Scrubbing the oven, stovetop, range hood, and behind the appliances
Cutting through bathroom grout, tile, tubs, and hard-water film on fixtures
Wiping baseboards, exposed beams, high transoms, and tall window frames
Vacuuming and mopping the floors once every room is cleared
Apartment Cleaning
Apartment cleaning in SoHo spans a wide range of homes, and a move makes that range obvious. We empty and clean compact walk-up studios above the shops, soaring cast-iron lofts with tall windows and exposed columns, and sleek new condos with stone and glass finishes. Each one turns over differently, so our apartment cleaning service
adjusts to the building, the layout, and the surfaces in front of us, from wide-plank wood to new marble, always working top to bottom so nothing gets missed on a handover.


Deep Cleaning Service
A move-out is really a deep clean on an empty canvas, and that is where our deep cleaning service shines. With the furniture gone, we reach the places a normal visit skips, inside the oven, behind the fridge, the grout seams, the tracks of the tall windows, and the dust that collects on exposed beams and high ledges. The EPA notes
that indoor air often holds more dust and allergens than outdoor air, so a true deep clean before you settle in matters for more than looks.
If you are moving in, a deep clean means you are not building your life over the prior resident's grime, and if you are moving out, it is the surest path to a full deposit or a smooth board sign-off. New York's housing agency, NYS Homes and Community Renewal, spells out what a landlord may keep from a deposit, and a documented deep clean keeps you on solid footing. Pair it with our deep cleaning service
for the heaviest jobs.

Why SoHo Movers Call Green Hands First
Moving in SoHo has no shortage of cleaning outfits to call, so what keeps movers with us? Trust, plainly. The people we hire are careful and friendly, we arrive when promised, and we handle each handover the way we would handle our own. You are not getting a faceless app that rotates a new stranger through your door each time. You get a local crew that takes the work seriously and stands behind it. If anything falls short, we come back and set it right, no hassle. Get to know us on our about page
or meet our cleaners.

Moving in SoHo brings challenges you will not meet in the suburbs. The cast-iron lofts sit on busy Belgian-block streets, so traffic grit and dust drift up through the tall windows and settle on sills and wide-plank floors, exactly the buildup a move-out clean has to clear before a handover. Many older conversions run on steam-radiator heat, which dries the winter air and drops a film of dust onto every shelf the day you empty the place.
Then there is the logistics of a downtown move. Most loft and condo buildings require a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight-elevator window before a vendor can work, and a moving truck on a cobblestone block like Greene Street can snarl the whole street. Our cleaners plan for the paperwork, the elevator hours, and the tight curb, so the unit is clean and ready when the keys change hands. We come prepared and keep pace with a busy moving day.
Homes here turn over in distinct shapes, and no two clean the same. A walk-up studio above a Spring Street shop empties out in an afternoon. A landmark loft off Greene needs more time for the tall windows, the exposed columns, and the open kitchen. A new condo near Broome has stone and glass finishes that need a soft, streak-free touch. We shape the work around whatever home stands empty in front of us, never a fixed routine stamped on every job.
The calendar shapes the work too. Late summer and early fall bring a wave of closings and lease turnovers, so move cleans book up fast. Winter means salt tracked into lobbies and entryways right before a handover, which a final mop has to handle. Spring brings the pollen and street dust that settle on a freshly emptied loft. We see these patterns because we turn over SoHo homes year-round.
The point is simple: this is not a generic box getting run through a checklist. It is a SoHo handover we are cleaning, with every quirk this historic, high-value, art-filled neighborhood hands over. That on-the-ground know-how separates a stressful move day from a smooth one and a clean first night in a new home.
Gentle Green Cleaning Kids and Pets Can Live With
Cleaning products that go easy on your family and your new home
Our name is not just decoration. Green Hands leans on cleaning methods and products that stay kind to the people and pets moving in. SoHo is full of young families and pet owners, and a great many of them get nervous about harsh chemical odors hanging around a freshly cleaned loft on day one. We hear that concern constantly, so we use safer products that cut grime without leaving heavy fumes behind. Curious what gentler cleaning means? Look for the EPA Safer Choice label, or see how we put it to work in our eco-friendly cleaning.
Softer cleaning also guards the surfaces a managing agent checks on a walk-through. Strong chemicals can dull new tile, etch glass, and streak stone in the condos, while wearing down the wide-plank wood and tin ceilings in the older lofts. Milder methods leave those surfaces right while still getting the home clean. Have a product you trust or an allergy on our radar? Tell us and we will plan around it.
Easy Booking for Your Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning in SoHo
From first call to clean handover in minutes of setup
Setting up a move cleaning with us is easy. Call, tell us the loft or apartment size and your move date, and we slot in a time that fits your closing or freight-elevator window. No drawn-out forms, no runaround. The price comes to you up front, so nothing catches you off guard. Then the crew lands ready to dig in, and your move-out list gets shorter fast. Most folks in SoHo are surprised at how smoothly it goes from that first call to a clean, empty home. Begin on the booking page, or look over the FAQ
first.
Trusted, Background-Checked Cleaners
Letting a crew into a home during a move asks for trust, and we never treat that lightly. Each person on the team is carefully chosen and screened through a background check, so you feel at ease with us in the space. Our insurance covers both you and our team, and we readily supply a certificate of insurance for your building's managing agent. Plenty of SoHo clients hand us a key or arrange building access because they have counted on us through more than one move. We earn that confidence handover by handover, never taking it for granted. Look up our record with the Better Business Bureau
and read our satisfaction guarantee.
Regular Cleaning Plans That Fit SoHo Life
Set Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly Visits After You Settle In
Once the move is behind you, a standing plan holds the new place 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. Shift the plan whenever life turns. The aim is to lift cleaning off your shoulders for good, so the new loft always feels ready when you walk 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, and a move is expensive enough already. So we keep our numbers straight and simple to read. What you pay hinges on the home's size and how much turnover work it needs, 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 move-in / move-out cleaning in SoHo ought to repay every dollar, especially when it clears a managing agent's sign-off or brings your deposit back. Tally the refund it protects, the stress it spares, and the clean first night in a new loft, and the math makes itself. Some clients tell us the move clean was the best money they spent on the whole move, and that word of mouth has carried us across Manhattan.
Part of the SoHo Community
We do more than clean addresses in SoHo. We move with the daily beat of the neighborhood. The crew knows the buildings, the N, R, W, and 6 lines, and the rhythm of moving day, from the box trucks squeezed onto the cobblestones of Greene Street to the freight elevators booked solid at month-end and the galleries opening along West Broadway. Hiring us puts your money behind a local team set on treating its neighbors right. We intend to go on turning over lofts and condos here for many years ahead. Find where we work on our locations page.

What SoHo Movers Say About Our Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning
I booked a move-in clean for my loft off Mercer Street and they finished inside the building's freight-elevator window. The tall windows and wide-plank floors looked perfect before a single box came up. They sent the certificate of insurance to my managing agent too.
Julian R.
SoHo, near Mercer Street

We moved out of a loft on Greene Street and they cleaned the empty space top to bottom before the walk-through. The exposed columns and high ledges were spotless. Inside the cabinets, the closets, everything.
Camille B.
SoHo, near Greene Street

We have a toddler and a cat, so the gentle products mattered a lot for our new place. They cleaned the whole loft before we unpacked, no harsh smell at all. Highly recommend for any family moving in.
Anika S.
SoHo, near Broome Street

Needed a move-out clean on short notice in a Spring Street walk-up and they fit me in before my landlord's walk-through. The oven and the bathroom came out like new. I got my full deposit back.
Marcus T.
SoHo, near Spring Street

They handled the certificate of insurance my condo required and worked around the freight-elevator window. The whole move-in clean was thorough and stress-free. I will use them again next move.

FAQs
These are the questions SoHo movers raise most about our move-in / move-out cleaning. Not seeing yours? Reach out by phone and we will gladly help, or browse the full FAQ page.
How fast can you send a move-in / move-out cleaning crew to my SoHo loft?
Most of the time we can clean your SoHo home a day or two after you reach out, and when the calendar has room we sometimes manage same-day or next-day work. Because closings and freight-elevator moves cluster at month-end, reserving your slot early helps the clean line up with your elevator window. Lock a date on the booking page.
Do I need to be there during my move-in / move-out cleaning in SoHo?
Not at all, you can be elsewhere. Many SoHo clients leave a key with the doorman or arrange access through the managing agent so the clean happens while they handle the rest of the move. We carry insurance and screen our cleaners, and we provide a certificate of insurance whenever your building requires one.
How much does a move-in / move-out cleaning in SoHo usually cost?
Cost comes down to the home's size and how much turnover work it needs, whether that is a simple empty studio or a large loft with tall windows and many closets. You always get a clear quote before any work starts, with nothing hidden. A walk-up studio runs less than a sprawling cast-iron loft, so each job is priced to match the real space.
Can your move-in / move-out cleaning meet my SoHo building's vendor rules?
Yes, that is routine for us. Most SoHo loft and condo buildings require a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight-elevator window before a cleaning crew can work. We provide the certificate and plan around your building's elevator hours and loading rules so move day stays on track, even on a tight cobblestone block.
Will a move-out cleaning in SoHo help me get my deposit back?
It is one of the best ways to protect it. A thorough move-out clean, inside the cabinets, the oven, the bathroom, and the floors, gives the landlord or managing agent nothing to flag for cleaning. New York's housing rules let landlords keep part of a deposit for damage beyond normal wear, so a documented deep clean keeps you on solid ground at the walk-through.
What areas near SoHo does your move-in / move-out cleaning cover?
Beyond SoHo itself, we handle moves in nearby neighborhoods like TriBeCa, NoLita, Greenwich Village, and Little Italy. If you are moving near the area and unsure we reach your building, ring us quickly. Odds are good we already clean somewhere near you.

Want to hand over a spotless loft and clear the managing agent with ease? Phone Green Hands Cleaning Services today at (212) 812-9418 and put your SoHo move cleaning in our hands. Move-out clean, move-in clean, or a deep reset before you unpack, whichever you need, it is simple to book your visit.
Moving is hard enough without scrubbing on the way out. Reach out, hear a clear price, and choose a time that fits your closing or freight-elevator window. We take care of the cleaning so you can focus on the move. Talk soon, and we will have the home ready before the keys change hands.
