Specialized NYC Cleaning Services

Move-Out Cleaning

Getting your security deposit back in NYC requires more than a quick wipe-down. Landlords here are notoriously strict, and “broom clean” won’t cut it. Our move-out cleaning service delivers the inspection-level deep clean you need to recover those precious deposit dollars. We clean inside every appliance, scrub grout, wipe baseboards, and leave your apartment in better condition than move-in day.

Move-In Cleaning

Starting fresh in a new NYC apartment? Our move-in cleaning eliminates any trace of previous tenants and post-renovation dust. We sanitize every surface, clean inside cabinets and drawers, and handle that fine drywall dust that settles everywhere after building work. Walk into a truly clean home from day one.

Post-Renovation Cleaning

NYC renovation projects leave behind stubborn construction dust that hides in vents, on top of door frames, and inside light fixtures. Our post-renovation cleaning tackles this specialized mess with the detailed attention it requires, so you can finally enjoy your newly updated space.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Turnovers

Running a short-term rental in NYC demands hotel-level presentation on a tight timeline. Our turnover cleaning service handles same-day flips between guests, including fresh linens, restocking essentials, and making your space look welcoming for five-star reviews. We understand the urgency and deliver reliable, thorough turnarounds every time.

Building Types We Master

Every NYC Building Has Its Quirks—We Know Them All

Doorman Buildings

We coordinate seamlessly with your front desk, provide COIs to management, and follow all building protocols. Your doorman will appreciate our professionalism.

Walk-Up Apartments

From 2nd floor to 6th floor, we climb them all. Our team comes prepared with the right equipment and the stamina to haul supplies up those narrow staircases.

Co-ops & Condos

Board requirements? Service elevator reservations? Strict vendor rules? We’ve navigated hundreds of co-op and condo regulations and make compliance effortless.

Brownstones

These beautiful historic buildings need special care. We understand original hardwood floors, delicate moldings, antique fixtures, and the quirks of 100-year-old homes.

Lofts

Open-plan living means dust travels everywhere, and high ceilings mean cobwebs in unreachable places. We have the equipment and expertise to handle expansive loft spaces.

Luxury High-Rises

Premium buildings deserve premium service. We understand the expectations of luxury living and deliver white-glove cleaning that matches your building’s standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for my building?

Yes. As a licensed and insured NYC apartment cleaning service, we issue COIs daily for buildings, management companies, and condo associations. We can list your building as an additional insured party and send the COI directly to management once your service is booked. NYC buildings are strict about vendor insurance, and we handle this process regularly.

My building has strict rules about service elevator usage and allowed cleaning hours. Can you accommodate that?

Yes. We follow NYC building rules carefully, including service elevator windows, restricted cleaning hours, and check-in procedures with doormen or concierges. If your building only allows contractors between certain hours, we schedule accordingly. We work closely with supers, doormen, and building staff every day.

Do I need to be home to let the cleaners in?

No. Many NYC clients aren’t home during their cleaning. You may provide access through your doorman, a key, a lockbox, or a keypad code. Your apartment will be locked securely when we leave. All NYBM cleaners are background-checked, uniformed, and ID-carrying.

Will your cleaners bring their own supplies? I prefer eco-friendly products.

We provide all necessary cleaning supplies and tools. The only item you must provide is a working vacuum, as NYBM does not bring one. If you prefer eco-friendly, fragrance-free, or specific cleaning products, just let us know—we’re happy to use your products or accommodate your requests.

My apartment is a fifth-floor walk-up and pretty small. Can you still clean it thoroughly?

Absolutely. NYC walk-ups, tight kitchens, small bathrooms, and compact layouts are our everyday work. Our cleaners carry supplies up the stairs and use slim tools and detailed methods to clean thoroughly without disturbing your belongings.

Do you offer same-day or last-minute cleanings?

Yes, when availability allows. We often accommodate same-day and next-day requests across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Weekday mornings typically offer the best chance of same-day service. Weekend availability is more limited, but we always try. No emergency fees—our standard pricing applies.

Are your cleaners okay with pets?

Yes. We are fully pet-friendly and use pet-safe cleaning products. If your pet becomes nervous around visitors, consider securing them in another room for their comfort and our team’s safety. Otherwise, pets can remain in the home during service.

Do you offer move-out or deep cleaning to help ensure I get my security deposit back?

Yes. Our move-out cleaning is designed to meet NYC landlord and building standards. We clean inside appliances, cabinets, drawers, baseboards, and all accessible areas. For move-ins, we provide top-to-bottom sanitization so your new apartment is fresh before you unpack.

What areas of NYC do you serve?

We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. We also service parts of Staten Island by request. Neighborhoods include (but are not limited to) the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Harlem, Hell’s Kitchen, FiDi, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Astoria, Long Island City, and more.

Are your cleaners background-checked and insured?

Yes. All NYBM cleaners undergo background checks and training before entering any client home. NYBM is fully insured, which protects your apartment and belongings. Many recurring clients trust us with keys or building access, and we take that responsibility seriously.

How much does apartment cleaning cost in NYC?

Our pricing is flat-rate and based on the size of your apartment, as outlined in our official pricing structure:

Studio (up to 600 sq ft): $275
1 Bed, 1 Bath (up to 800 sq ft): $300
2 Bed, 1 Bath (up to 1000 sq ft): $365

Hourly rate: $70/hr (2-hour minimum; no satisfaction guarantee on hourly services)

Why do I need to start with a deep cleaning?

All new clients begin with a deep cleaning because it resets the apartment to a high standard. This allows our recurring maintenance cleaning to stay efficient and consistent. Deep cleaning includes detailed work, buildup removal, and interior surfaces that aren’t covered during standard maintenance.

Can I just book a one-time deep cleaning without signing up for recurring service?

Yes. You can book a one-time deep cleaning with no obligation to continue. Many clients use this for move-outs, move-ins, seasonal refreshes, or special occasions.

What’s the difference between your deep cleaning and standard cleaning?

A deep cleaning is comprehensive: interior appliances, baseboards, grout, behind furniture, and high-detail tasks. Standard cleaning covers routine maintenance such as dusting, mopping, bathrooms, and kitchen surfaces. Standard cleaning is only available after a deep clean has been completed.

Do apartment cleaners clean inside ovens and refrigerators?

Yes. Inside-oven and inside-fridge cleaning are included in deep cleaning. For standard recurring cleanings, these are optional add-ons at $50 each.
