Transparent Pricing – No Hidden Fees, Everything Included

We believe in straightforward pricing. No surprises, no last-minute add-ons. Our flat-rate packages are based on your home’s size, and unlike many competitors who charge extra, our deep clean price already includes inside appliances, interior cabinets, baseboards, and all the detailed work that makes it truly “deep.”

Two Ways to Pay for Your NYC Deep Cleaning

We offer flexible payment options to fit your needs and budget. Whether you prefer the predictability of flat-rate pricing or the flexibility of hourly service, we’ve got you covered.

1. Flat-Rate Cleaning — Pay for the Job, Not the Clock

Our flat-rate services are priced based on your home’s size and condition. The rate we quote is the rate you pay — 99% of the time. We don’t charge extra for taking the time to do things right.

Why Choose Flat-Rate?

Transparent Pricing: Unlike many NYC competitors who advertise low rates then add fees for basic tasks like cleaning inside the fridge ($35), oven ($35), or cabinets ($25), everything is included in our flat rate. Inside appliances, baseboards, grout scrubbing, and all detailed work are part of our comprehensive deep clean package.

No Hourly Pressure: We stay until the job is done right, not until a timer runs out. Your home receives the thorough attention it deserves without anyone watching the clock.

Budget-Friendly: You know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. Perfect for NYC residents who want clarity and no surprises on their invoice.

Our Flat-Rate Promise

If your home requires additional work due to extreme buildup, heavily soiled conditions, post-construction dust, pest-related issues, or other special conditions, we’ll always discuss that upfront before starting — never after. This ensures complete transparency and builds the trust NYC residents expect from a professional cleaning service.

Satisfaction Guarantee for Flat-Rate Services

Not completely satisfied? Contact us within 24 hours and we’ll return to re-clean any missed areas at no additional charge. Your happiness is our priority.

2. Hourly Cleaning — Flexible, Custom, and Efficient

For smaller spaces, special requests, partial cleanings, or when you want complete control over the scope of work, our hourly option lets you pay only for the time you need. This pricing model is popular with NYC clients who have unique situations or specific areas they want addressed.

Hourly Rates

• One-Time or Deep Cleaning: $70/hour (3-hour minimum)
• Recurring Cleaning: $65/hour (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)
• Organizational Services: $80/hour (decluttering, closet organization, etc.)

Why Choose Hourly?

Complete Flexibility: Perfect for:

• Small studios or single-room focus (if under our flat-rate minimum)
• Custom projects like organizing before cleaning can begin
• Maintenance touch-ups between deep cleans
• Specific high-priority areas (just the kitchen and bathrooms, for example)
• Very large homes (4+ bedrooms) where hourly may be more economical

Add or Adjust Anytime: You’re always in control. Want us to spend extra time on the kitchen or skip the bedrooms this visit? Just let us know.

Efficient Work: Our cleaners work productively and never cut corners. We follow our detailed 55+ point checklist and focus on delivering quality results in every minute we’re in your home. Unlike services that charge hourly and may work slowly to increase the bill, our professional team is trained to be both thorough and efficient.

How Hourly Pricing Works

1. Book Your Hours: Choose how many hours you need (minimum 3 hours for deep cleaning)
2. We Clean Efficiently: Our team follows your priorities and our checklist
3. Pay for Time Used: You’re charged only for the time we work
4. Adjust Next Time: Based on results, you can add or reduce hours for future visits

Reasons to Book a Deep Cleaning in NYC

Many homeowners search for a deep cleaning service in NYC when regular cleaning isn’t enough. A deep clean provides the extra attention your home needs to look and feel refreshed. Here are the most common reasons people choose to hire professional deep cleaners:

Seasonal Reset (Spring & Fall Cleaning)

Over time, dust, pollen, and grime build up in hidden places. Clients often book seasonal deep cleaning in NYC during the spring or fall to reset their home. This thorough service helps remove allergens, sanitize surfaces, and keep the home healthier year-round.

Hosting Guests or Special Events

Whether it’s a holiday dinner, birthday, or family visit, a deep home cleaning service ensures your space makes the best impression. From spotless bathrooms to sparkling kitchens, deep cleaning prepares your home for guests so you can focus on hosting.

Starting Recurring Cleaning Services

Most of our weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly clients begin with an initial deep cleaning service. This resets the home so our standard maintenance cleanings are faster, easier, and more effective at keeping everything in top shape.

Busy Lifestyles & Stress Relief

Deep cleaning takes hours of scrubbing and attention to detail. Many NYC residents hire a professional deep cleaning company to save time, reduce stress, and enjoy a spotless home without sacrificing their weekends.

Health, Allergies, and New Babies

Families with asthma, allergies, or newborns often look for detailed deep cleaning in NYC to sanitize their home and remove hidden irritants. Our service targets dust, pet dander, and germs in areas that standard cleaning misses — creating a safer, healthier environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a deep clean and regular cleaning?

A standard cleaning focuses on high-use areas – vacuuming, wiping surfaces, and tidying up. It’s only for weekly or bi-weekly maintenance.

A deep cleaning goes much further. We hand-wash baseboards, clean inside appliances and cabinets, scrub tile grout, dust high and low areas, and remove built-up dirt and grime that accumulates over months. It’s an intensive, detail-oriented service ideal as a periodic refresh, for move-ins/outs, post-renovation, or when it’s been more than 3 months since your last professional cleaning.

Many clients start with a deep clean to establish a baseline of cleanliness, then maintain it with regular standard cleanings.

How much does deep cleaning cost in NYC?

Our services start at $275 for studios, $300 for one-bedroom homes, $365 for two-bedroom homes, and $500 for three-bedroom homes. Each flat rate includes a comprehensive deep clean – inside appliances, cabinets, baseboards, grout scrubbing, and more – with no hidden fees.

We recognize that New York City pricing reflects higher labor and operational costs, but we’re committed to providing exceptional value through detailed, professional service and transparent pricing.

We also offer discounted recurring options – save 30% on monthly, 42% on bi-weekly, or 50% on weekly cleanings – plus first-time customer promotions to make getting started even easier.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

It’s completely up to you. Many NYC clients prefer to go to work or run errands while we clean. You can let us in and leave, or arrange key pickup/drop-off with your doorman (we do this regularly). If you prefer to stay home, that’s perfectly fine too.

Our team is fully vetted, background-checked, and trustworthy. We handle home access for dozens of clients daily with the utmost professionalism. If you won’t be home, just provide entry instructions and we’ll secure everything when we leave.

Will you bring your own supplies and equipment?

Yes – we bring everything needed for a complete deep clean. That includes eco-friendly cleaning solutions, professional-grade brushes and tools, microfiber cloths, mops, step stools for high areas, and more.

If you have special surfaces (like marble countertops requiring specific products) or prefer we use something you provide, just let us know. Otherwise, sit back and relax – we come fully prepared with commercial-quality supplies that are more effective than typical household products.

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

Absolutely. We are a fully licensed and insured professional business liability coverage. We’ve worked with countless NYC property managers and co-op/condo boards.

If your building requires a Certificate of Insurance, simply mention it when booking and we’ll send the COI directly to your building management before the cleaning date. This documentation protects you, us, and your building – and it’s something many independent cleaners cannot provide. With us, it’s standard practice.

What if I’m not satisfied with the cleaning?

Our goal is 100% satisfaction every single time. If anything was missed or doesn’t meet your expectations, notify us within 24 hours and we will make it right immediately.

For flat rate cleanings, that means returning to re-clean the specific areas at no additional charge. We stand behind our work with an unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee for flat rate cleanings. Check our reviews – it’s rare we need to re-clean, but we never hesitate when necessary. We’re not happy unless you’re thrilled with the results.

Do you really use eco-friendly products?

Yes! We offer green cleaning at no extra cost. By default, we use gentle, non-toxic cleaners for most tasks (brands like Method®, Seventh Generation®, and similar). These are effective yet safe for children, pets, and people with sensitivities.

For extremely tough jobs (like an oven with heavy grease buildup), we might use a stronger product but always with proper ventilation and minimally. If you require strictly eco-friendly products for all surfaces, just select our “Green Cleaning” option during booking or mention it – we’re happy to accommodate. Your home will be spotless and safe.

How long does a deep cleaning take?

Duration depends on your home’s size and condition:

• Studio apartment: Typically 2-3 hours
• 1 Bedroom: Usually 3-4 hours
• 2 Bedroom: Generally 4-5 hours (or 2 cleaners working ~2.5 hours each)
• 3 Bedroom: Approximately 5-6 hours (often with a 2-3 person team)

For larger homes or heavily soiled conditions, we may send additional team members to complete the job efficiently without sacrificing quality. We work as long as necessary to meet our checklist standards – you’re never charged hourly, so there’s no rushing.

My building needs COI and has strict rules about service elevators and hours. Can you accommodate this?

Absolutely. We’re NYC experts and work with building requirements daily. We understand:

• Service elevator reservations and usage
• Designated cleaning hours (some buildings restrict after 6pm or on Sundays)
• Doorman coordination and sign-in procedures
• Parking limitations and loading zone protocols
• Insurance documentation (COI) submission

Just provide your building’s requirements during booking, and we’ll handle all coordination. We’ve successfully serviced buildings from Lower Manhattan to Upper Manhattan, across all boroughs, and are experienced with even the strictest building rules.

What about move-out or post-construction cleaning?

We specialize in both!

Move-Out Cleaning: Our deep clean is perfect for securing your security deposit. We ensure every surface is spotless per typical lease requirements. Many landlords specifically appreciate that we clean inside appliances and cabinets – often required for deposit return.

Post-Construction/Renovation Cleaning: Construction creates pervasive dust that settles everywhere. We use specialized techniques to eliminate fine construction dust from surfaces, inside cabinets, air ducts, and even hard-to-reach areas. This service may require additional time and equipment, so we provide a custom quote based on the scope of your renovation.

Contact us to discuss your specific needs – we’ll ensure your space is move-in ready or renovation-complete clean.
