"First clean with the NEW10 code and I'm hooked. My Chelsea studio hasn't looked this good since the day I moved in — they even got the radiator dust."
"Move-out clean in Park Slope. My landlord walked through, said nothing, and returned the full deposit a week later. Worth every penny."
"Fourth-floor walk-up in Astoria and they never complain, never surcharge, never cut corners. Bi-weekly for over a year now."
"They handled my doorman building's COI paperwork without me lifting a finger. Deep clean was immaculate — inside the oven, behind the fridge, everything."
"I manage two Airbnbs in Bushwick. Same-day turnovers, restaged rooms, and a photo report every single time. My cleanliness rating is a perfect 5.0."
New York homes get dirty faster.
We clean them faster.
New York apartments get dirty faster than homes almost anywhere else. Street soot settles on windowsills within days. Radiators bake dust into every corner all winter. And in a city where your kitchen might be six feet from your bed, a mess never hides for long. That's why so many New Yorkers stopped scrubbing on their one free Saturday and called us instead. Help Maid has been the cleaning service NYC residents rely on since 2016 — and many of the homes we cleaned in our first year are still on our schedule today.
A cleaning team that works in the suburbs would be lost here. Pre-war walk-ups on the Upper West Side have original hardwood that needs the right products. Doorman buildings in Midtown and along the Brooklyn waterfront have front-desk requirements before a cleaning team can come upstairs — we coordinate access and any paperwork directly with your building management, free of charge. Fifth-floor walk-ups in Astoria and Bushwick? No elevator, no problem, and no surcharge.
The seasons matter too. In winter, salt and slush get tracked across every entryway in the city. Spring pushes pollen straight through window AC units. Summer humidity turns bathroom tile into a grime magnet. We adjust how we clean based on what New York throws at your home each season.

House Cleaning
Our standard house cleaning covers everything a busy home needs: kitchens scrubbed top to bottom, bathrooms sanitized, every surface dusted, floors vacuumed and mopped, beds made. The same checklist, every single visit — so you always know exactly what you're getting. Standard cleans start at $150 with no hidden fees, and you can book online in about 60 seconds. Most days we have same-day availability somewhere in the city.
Apartment Cleaning
Most of our work is apartment cleaning, because most of New York lives in apartments. Studios in Hell's Kitchen. Classic sixes on the Upper East Side. Railroad apartments in Greenpoint. Converted lofts in Williamsburg. Small spaces are actually harder to clean well — every surface works overtime, and clutter has nowhere to go. Our teams are trained for tight kitchens, compact bathrooms, and buildings where the hallway rules are strict and the neighbors are close.
Deep Cleaning
If it's been a few months (or a few years) since your last real clean, start with a deep cleaning. We get the places a standard clean doesn't reach: inside the oven and fridge, behind and under furniture, baseboards, door frames, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, and that radiator dust that builds up all winter in pre-war buildings. Deep cleaning is also the right first visit before starting a recurring plan — it gets your home to our standard, and then regular visits keep it there.
Move In / Move Out Cleaning
Moving in New York is stressful enough without losing your security deposit over a dirty stove. Our move out cleaning follows the checklists NYC landlords and management companies actually use, so the apartment is handed back truly empty-and-spotless. Moving in? Our move in cleaning happens before your boxes arrive, so the only dirt in your new place is the dirt you bring. A good move-out clean pays for itself when the deposit comes back in full.
Recurring Cleaning
The best-kept homes in the city aren't cleaned harder — they're cleaned regularly. Our weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring cleaning plans cost less per visit than one-time cleans, and we work to send the same team each time. They learn your home, your preferences, and your building's quirks. Most clients aren't even home: doorman handoffs, lockboxes, and smart lock codes make key exchange simple. You come home to a clean apartment. That's the whole point.
Guest-ready · Williamsburg
Airbnb Cleaning
Hosting in NYC means fast turnovers on tight deadlines. Our Airbnb cleaning service handles same-day flips between checkout and check-in: full clean, fresh linens, restaged rooms, restocked basics, and a photo report when we're done so you can confirm the unit is guest-ready from anywhere. Hosts in Long Island City and across the city trust us with their calendars — and their reviews.
