What customers say in New York
Very professional and did a great job cleaning the house
I booked a deep cleaning service in New…
I booked a deep cleaning service in New York City and honestly the team did an amazing job. My apartment hadn't been properly cleaned in months and they handled everything from the kitchen grease to the bathroom tiles perfectly. The attention to detail was impressive. If you need professional deep cleaning services in NYC, this is a solid choice.

Service details and local conditions
Many householders are moving into renter-occupied housing units; 958,515 householders lived in renter-occupied housing units a year ago, and 1,146,511 householders lived in renter-occupied housing units. This can influence scheduling needs for move-in services.
Apartment sizes in Manhattan also shape move-in cleaning. Out of 923,472 housing units by bedroom count, 356,550 have 1 bedroom and 276,516 have 2 bedrooms. There are also 141,852 housing units with no bedrooms. These smaller unit sizes often mean a quicker turnaround is needed between the previous tenant vacating and new residents moving in, requiring efficient scheduling for move-in cleaning. For details on what our move-in cleaning service includes, please visit our national service page.
What the service covers is set out on our move-in cleaning page.

Frequently asked questions
How much moving actually happens in Manhattan?
Enough to keep a steady rota, but this is not a high-turnover area: 1,326,917 of 1,541,202 householders were in the same home a year earlier (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B07013). Move-in cleans here are individual bookings spread through the year rather than one lease cycle everybody moves on, so slots are usually available on the date you need.
What does an empty-house clean actually include?
The surfaces you cannot reach once the van is unloaded: inside kitchen cabinets and drawers, refrigerator and oven interiors, bathroom fixtures, closet shelves, baseboards, and the floors last. The full checklist is on the national page.
The sellers left it broom-clean — do we still need it?
Say so and we will tell you honestly. Broom-clean changes the time, not the checklist: cabinet interiors, appliance seals and bathroom fixtures are almost never covered by it.
Where do I find what is included, step by step?
On the national move-in cleaning page — it carries the checklist, the timings and the published starting price, so it is maintained in one place rather than reworded on every local page.
What happens if something is missed?
Tell us within 36 hours and we arrange a return visit at no extra cost.
