House Cleaning Service
Every April the same thing happens across the five boroughs. Folks throw open the windows for the first warm day, the sun cuts low across the floor, and suddenly a whole winter of dust shows up on the sills, the radiator tops, and the shelves. A family in a Sunset Park rowhouse called us last spring for exactly that reason, after months of steam heat had coated every surface with fine grit and the kids had started sneezing through the night. We came in, worked room by room from the ceilings down, washed the windows, and cleared the season out in a single day. The mom said the apartment finally felt like spring. That is what a real spring cleaning service in New York City
is built to do.
Green Hands Cleaning Services has handled spring cleaning across New York City for years, from the brownstones of Brooklyn to the prewar co-ops of Manhattan and the two-family homes of Queens. A spring clean is a heavier job than a regular tidy, and we treat it that way. Our cleaners show up on time, bring their own gear, and chase the winter buildup that hides where everyday cleaning never reaches. You can book a spring clean
in minutes, and we give you a clear price
before anyone starts.
House Cleaning Service
A spring clean sets a clean baseline, and many New Yorkers keep us on for steady upkeep after. Our house cleaning service in New York City
covers the everyday chores that pile up fast, like floors, dusting, counters, and bathrooms, so the season-deep clean does not slide back by summer. Once spring sets the home right, keeping it that way gets a whole lot easier.
We send the same cleaners back whenever the schedule allows, so they learn your home. In a tight Lower East Side walk-up or a roomy two-family in Queens, that familiarity counts. They learn which radiator clanks, where the supplies live, and how you like the kitchen left at the end of a visit.
Want it more often or less often? Just say so. Some neighbors pair a yearly spring clean with a weekly stop, others go biweekly or monthly. Our regular cleaning plans
bend to fit your week, and the pricing stays plain with nothing tacked on later. Our FAQ page
answers the common questions before you book.
Maid Service
After the big spring reset, a steady maid service keeps the home from sliding back into winter habits. Our maid service in New York City
handles the regular run of dusting, vacuuming, wiping counters, and washing dishes, so the home you just got spring-cleaned holds its shine. With city life moving fast, having that off your plate is a real relief.
New York homes come in every shape, and a good maid service reads the room. In a compact Manhattan studio near Gramercy Park, every corner counts, so we work top to bottom and hit the spots people forget. In a wide Brooklyn floor-through with tall windows, the open rooms and old trim need more time to do right.
We keep it flexible. Company coming, or just need the basics this week? Tell us and we adjust. A maid service should fit your life, not box you in. Plenty of neighbors book the spring clean first, then settle into a steady plan. Here is what a standard spring clean with us usually covers.
Every spring cleaning visit in New York City covers the heavy-duty tasks below, and we add more based on what your home needs.
Clearing a winter of dust off radiator tops, baseboards, moldings, and high ledges
Washing window sills, tracks, and reachable glass so the spring light comes through clear
Scrubbing inside the oven, behind the fridge, and across greasy kitchen backsplashes
Detailing the bathroom grout, tub, sink, toilet, and fixtures until they shine
Vacuuming under furniture and mopping the floors to lift the last of the season's grit
Apartment Cleaning
Spring cleaning a New York apartment is its own kind of job, and the building shapes the work. Prewar co-ops and walk-ups across the city have plaster walls, parquet, and steam radiators that bake a winter of dust onto every sill. Newer glass units near the waterfronts in Brooklyn and Manhattan need streak-free care so the big windows let the spring sun in clean. Our apartment cleaning in New York City
meets each one where it is, working top to bottom to chase the spots that go untouched all winter, like the tops of door frames, behind the radiators, and the deep corners of closets. A spring clean goes further than a standard visit, but it is the difference between a home that looks fine for a day and one that feels genuinely reset for the season. Want an even heavier scrub? Pair it with our New York City deep cleaning service.
Deep Cleaning Service
A spring clean and a deep clean overlap, and sometimes the season calls for the full deep treatment. Our deep cleaning service in New York City
reaches the places a normal clean skips, like inside the oven, behind the radiator, the grout lines in the bathroom, and the dusty tops of door frames. If your home has not had a real scrub since last spring, that level of detail gives you a solid base to keep up through the warm months.
Spring is our busiest stretch, since the whole city seems to notice the winter grime at once when the windows open. We suggest booking your spring clean a few weeks ahead to lock in your slot, especially in April and May. Want to prep first? Our blog has a handy spring cleaning checklist for New York City apartments.
Why New Yorkers Call Green Hands First
New York has no shortage of cleaning companies, so why do so many residents stick with us for the spring reset? It comes down to trust. We hire careful, friendly cleaners, we show up when we say we will, and we treat every home like our own. We are not a faceless app sending a different stranger each time. We are a local team that takes pride in the work and stands behind it. 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.
Spring cleaning in New York City comes with quirks you do not find elsewhere. Months of steam heat dry the winter air and throw a fine dust over every surface, and it only shows when the strong spring light comes through the windows. Older buildings across the boroughs, from the brownstones of Carroll Gardens to the prewar co-ops near Washington Heights, hold that grime in deep moldings and on radiator tops that everyday cleaning never touches.
Then there is the pollen. When the trees leaf out along the parks, from Prospect Park to Riverside, allergens drift in through the first open windows of the season, settling on floors and sills. A real spring clean focuses on dusting, floors, and windows to help people breathe easier as the city wakes up. We see the same calls every April from families who never noticed the buildup until the sneezing started.
New York homes vary wildly, and each spring-cleans differently. A railroad flat in Brooklyn has rooms in a line that trap dust at the back. A classic-six co-op in Manhattan has a long gallery and formal rooms full of trim. A two-family brick house in Queens has steep stairs and a finished basement. We size up the home in front of us instead of running one rigid routine.
Timing matters too. The first warm weekends of spring send the whole city into cleaning mode at once, so we book up fast in April and May and suggest reserving early. Apartments near the waterfronts, from Red Hook to Battery Park City, also carry extra salt grit off the water that settles over winter and needs a firm hand to lift. We catch these patterns because we clean across the city all year long.
All of this is to say we are not spring cleaning some generic box from a checklist. We are cleaning a New York home, with every quirk this big, layered, five-borough city throws at us. That local know-how is the gap between a clean that fades in a day and one that truly resets your home for the season. You can see the full list of areas we serve on our locations page.
Green Spring Cleaning That Is Safe for Kids and Pets
Heavy-duty seasonal cleaning power that stays gentle on your family and your home
Our name is the whole idea. Green Hands spring cleans with methods and products that go easy on the people and pets sharing your space. New York is full of young families and dog owners, and a lot of them worry about harsh chemical fumes lingering in a closed apartment, especially during allergy season. 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 city is full of. Strong chemicals wear down original parquet, vintage tile, plaster, and painted radiators over time. Our methods protect those details while still pulling out a season of dirt. Got an allergy or a product you trust? Tell us and we will spring clean around it, which matters most when the whole point is breathing easier. 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 Spring Cleaning in New York City
Getting your spring clean on the calendar takes just a few minutes
Booking a spring clean with us is simple. Give us a call, tell us about your home and what the winter left behind, and we will set a time that fits. 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 day back. Most New Yorkers are surprised how smoothly the whole thing runs from the first call to the last clean, sunlit room. Head to our booking page
or our contact page
to start.
Trusted, Background-Checked Cleaners
Letting someone deep clean your home 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. We are insured, which protects both you and our crew. Plenty of our New York clients leave a key or building code because they have leaned on us across months and years, spring after spring. 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 New York City Life
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits to hold the spring reset all year
New York keeps a fast pace, and the dust does not wait for a free weekend. After the spring clean does the heavy lifting, a regular plan keeps your home steady through summer and beyond. Pick weekly visits for a full household with a packed calendar, biweekly for a reliable reset without the weekly stop, or monthly for a lighter touch. You can shift the plan anytime life changes. The goal is to take cleaning off your plate for good so your home holds the fresh-start feeling well past spring. See how it works on our New York City maid service page.
Clear Pricing With No Surprises
Nobody likes a bill bigger than the quote. We keep spring cleaning pricing honest and easy to follow. The cost tracks the size of your home and how much work the season left behind, like dusty radiators, baked-on grease, dark grout, or a place that has not had a real clean since last spring, and we tell you the number before we start. No hidden fees, no upsells you never asked for, no guessing.
A good spring cleaning service in New York City should be worth every dollar. Add up the time you save, the stress you skip, and the comfort of a home that feels truly reset for the season, and the value speaks for itself. We have neighbors who tell us the spring clean is the best money they spend all year, and that word of mouth is how we have grown. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

What New Yorkers Say About Our Spring Cleaning
I booked a spring clean for my brownstone in Carroll Gardens and the difference floored me. They cleared a winter of dust off the moldings and radiators, washed every window, and the place finally felt bright again. On time and spotless.
Renata C.
Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
My prewar co-op near Gramercy Park collects so much dust over the winter and they handled it like pros. The radiator tops, the high moldings, the window tracks, all of it. Fair price and a real seasonal reset.
David S.
Gramercy Park, Manhattan
We have two kids with spring allergies and a dog, so the gentle products and the focus on dusting and floors made a real difference. Everyone breathed easier after. I have already booked them for next spring.
Aisha B.
Crown Heights, Brooklyn
Our two-family in Queens hadn't had a real clean since last spring and they brought it back to life in one visit. Behind the fridge, the radiator tops, inside the closets, all of it. Worth every dollar.
Daniel R.
East Elmhurst, Queens
Needed a spring reset for my Lower East Side walk-up before family visited and they saved the day. The kitchen and bathroom looked brand new and the windows let real light in again. I will be calling them every spring.

FAQs
Here are the questions New Yorkers ask us most about our spring 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 spring cleaning service to my New York City apartment?
In most cases we can spring clean your New York home within a day or two of your call, and we can sometimes fit same-day or next-day jobs when the schedule allows. Spring is our busiest stretch, since the whole city notices the winter grime at once in April and May, so we suggest booking a couple of weeks ahead to lock your slot.
What is the difference between spring cleaning and a regular cleaning in New York City?
A regular clean keeps up with the week, while a spring clean clears a whole winter of buildup, the dust on radiator tops and high moldings, the grime behind the fridge, the grit on the window tracks, and the corners everyday cleaning skips. In a New York apartment with steam heat, that seasonal layer is real, and a spring clean is what lifts it.
How much does spring cleaning in New York City usually cost?
The price depends on the size of your home and how much the winter left behind, like dusty radiators, baked-on stove grease, dark grout, or a place that has not had a real clean since last spring. We always give a clear quote before we start, with no hidden fees. A small Manhattan studio costs less than a large Brooklyn floor-through, so we price each job to the actual home.
Does spring cleaning help with seasonal allergies in New York City apartments?
It can make a real difference. When the trees leaf out near the parks, pollen drifts in through the first open windows and settles on floors and sills, on top of a winter of dust. A spring clean focused on dusting, floors, and windows lifts those allergens out of the home. For more on indoor air quality, the EPA's guidance is a helpful read.
Do you use green products for spring cleaning 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, which matters most during allergy season when the whole point is breathing easier. If you have an allergy or a product you prefer, just let us know and we will clean with that in mind.
What areas does your spring cleaning service cover in New York City?
We spring clean across all five boroughs, with a special focus on Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, working out of our base in East Elmhurst. From Astoria to Park Slope to the Upper West Side, our cleaners are close by. If you are not sure whether we reach you, give us a quick call. There is a good chance we already clean on your block.
Ready to clear the whole winter out and welcome spring into a clean home? Call Green Hands Cleaning Services today at (212) 812-9418 and let our cleaners handle the seasonal reset. Whether you want a one-time spring clean, a deeper scrub, or a regular plan to hold it through summer, we make it easy. Start on our booking page.
Your first warm weekend is worth more than scrubbing radiators and washing windows. Give us a call, get a clear price, and pick a time that works for you. We will handle the spring cleaning so you can get back to enjoying the city waking up. We look forward to cleaning your home soon.
