Apartment Cleaning Service in New York City You Can Count On
Studios, walk-ups, pre-war one-bedrooms, converted lofts and doorman high-rises. We clean the apartments New York actually lives in. Lily Maids sends insured, background-checked cleaners with their own supplies, quotes a flat price before you book, and works around your building's rules so you dont have to. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, seven days a week.
A real Lily Maids story
David had three months of dishes. We had four hours.
David Chen runs a product team in Williamsburg, and he had just come off a stretch of eighty-hour weeks. The sink had stopped being a sink. He booked us on a Thursday night, and by Friday afternoon two cleaners were working his one-bedroom in order: kitchen first, then the bath, then every floor. He wrote in afterward that the crew was "incredibly efficient and professional," and that they had turned a chaotic space into a calm and tidy sanctuary.
That's most of what this job is. New York lives in apartments, not houses, and apartments are their own kind of problem. Small kitchens where every inch works overtime. One bathroom, shared by three people. Radiators holding a whole winter of dust. And a building that wants to know who we are before it lets us near the elevator. Our house cleaning service was built around those realities, and the apartment cleaning service New York City residents book from us reflects it: flat pricing, insured cleaners, and a checklist we actually follow. Studio to classic six, Manhattan to Brooklyn to Queens.

Our services
Every clean an NYC apartment could need.
Ask any New Yorker what they run out of first and the answer is usually time. Pick the service that fits your apartment, book it online, and we handle the rest. See pricing or how it works.
Small spaces, done properly
Apartment Cleaning Built for NYC.
Small apartments are harder to clean well, not easier. Every counter is a drop zone, the bathroom has no window, and clutter has nowhere to hide. Our teams are trained for galley kitchens, tub-shower combos, and buildings with strict hallway and elevator rules. Pre-war walk-ups in Harlem, converted lofts in Williamsburg, new towers in Long Island City- we've cleaned all three this month. If you want the full room-by-room scope before you book, the cleaning checklist lays it out.
Someone who knows your place
Maid Service & Housekeeping Service.
Some people want one big reset. Others want to stop thinking about it entirely. Our maid service is the second kind: the same trained, insured cleaners running the same checklist, so your kitchen and bath never get away from you again. Housekeeping service clients usually add small standing requests over time - fold the throw blankets, don't touch the desk, use the pink bottle on the marble - and we keep those notes on your account so a new cleaner isnt starting from zero. Its the closest thing to having help without hiring anyone directly.

Top to bottom, inside out
Deep Cleaning for What the Weekly Wipe Misses.
Every apartment in this city has spots a quick tidy never reaches. Inside the oven and the fridge. Behind the couch. Baseboards, door frames, cabinet interiors, and the radiator dust that piles up all winter and then gets blown around the second the heat comes back on in October. A deep cleaning gets all of it. Laura Hastings in the Upper East Side booked one after a renovation and said the construction dust was gone from every surface. It also matters for allergy season - the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America points out that dust mites and settled allergens collect fastest in closed-up bedding and soft surfaces, which is exactly what a sealed NYC apartment is in February. See what a deep cleaning includes.
Before the keys change hands
Move In and Move Out Cleaning.
Moving in New York is punishing enough without scrubbing an empty apartment at 11pm. Our move-out cleaning follows the checklist landlords actually walk with: inside cabinets and drawers, appliance interiors, bathroom fixtures, closet shelves, floors and remaining dust. Moving in instead? A move-in cleaning happens before the boxes land, so night one is in a genuinely clean apartment and not somebody else's. Tell us about elevator reservations and loading windows when you book. Renters checking their rights on repairs and conditions can read the guidance from NYC Housing Preservation & Development. Code MOVE30 saves $30.
Recurring care
Recurring Cleaning Plans.
The best-kept apartments in this city aren't cleaned harder, they're cleaned regularly. Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly recurring plans put your home on the calendar before life buries it. Robert Simmons books a standing visit for his parents in Forest Hills so the dust and allergens never build back up. Plenty of clients start with a deep clean, then keep it that way with a bi-weekly. Frequency discounts and how they stack are all listed on pricing.
Also bookable
Three more ways we clean apartments.
Not every visit is a routine one. Sometimes it's a Tuesday emergency, sometimes it's a guest checking out at 11am.
One Time Cleaning
No plan, no commitment, no auto-charge. A single visit for the moments that call for one - hosting, holidays, a bad month, or just wanting the apartment back. Jessica Miller booked one before her daughter's engagement party in Hell's Kitchen and the crew went straight at the kitchen and living room.
- Pay once, book again whenever
- Same checklist as a standard visit
- Upgrade to a deep clean at checkout
Same Day Cleaning Service
Guests landing tonight? Sometimes we can be there today. It depends entirely on what's open on that day's schedule and where you are in the city, so call rather than guess. Booking a day or two out will always give you a lot more time slots to pick from.
- Subject to confirmed availability
- Call (646) 825-3550 for fastest answer
- Manhattan, Brooklyn & Queens
AirBnB Cleaning Service
Hosts need speed and consistency, not one great clean followed by three rushed ones. Brian Foster in Long Island City uses us between every booking. Linens reset, bathroom restocked, kitchen wiped down, and photos-ready surfaces for the next guest.
- Tight checkout-to-checkin windows
- Repeatable turnover checklist
- Great for landlords and property managers

"After months of a demanding work schedule, my apartment had fallen into a disastrous state. The cleaners were incredibly efficient and professional, bringing the place back to life in a few hours. I can't thank this apartment cleaning service enough for turning my chaotic space into a calm and tidy sanctuary."
"I was preparing to host my daughter's engagement party at our apartment, and the place needed a major deep clean. The team worked wonders on the kitchen and living room, tackling all the built-up grime I'd been avoiding. Thanks to this reliable apartment cleaning service, the party was a hit and the home looked gorgeous."
"My elderly parents can no longer manage the upkeep of their home, so I booked a cleaning for them. The staff were so respectful, meticulous, and careful with their belongings, removing all the dust and allergens that had accumulated. This apartment cleaning service has given my parents back a safe and clean space they can be proud of."
"Returning from a long trip to a messy home is the worst feeling, and I just didn't have the energy to deal with it. This team came in and handled everything, from the musty bathroom to the dusty shelves. I cannot recommend this apartment cleaning service highly enough; it felt like a fresh start for the new season."
"I'm going through a divorce and managing the household alone has been draining, so I called this company for help. They provided an incredible top-to-bottom clean, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, which lifted such a weight off my shoulders. This apartment cleaning service gave me the mental clarity I desperately needed."
"We just finished a renovation in our apartment, and the construction dust was everywhere, coating every surface. The cleaners came in and did a phenomenal job clearing the debris and dust, making the new space feel like a livable home. This apartment cleaning service turned our construction zone into a spotless, beautiful apartment."
"We booked this service to prepare our Airbnb for guest arrivals, and they've been a game-changer. The team is incredibly fast but doesn't skip a detail, ensuring the space is spotless for every single booking. It's the most reliable apartment cleaning service we've ever used for our rental business."
"After a severe flu swept through our household, I wanted the entire place sanitized to prevent it from spreading. The team used hospital-grade cleaners to wipe down everything, leaving the place smelling fresh and clean. I'm so grateful for this apartment cleaning service, which gave our home a much-needed reset."
"I hired this company to deep clean the apartment before my new roommate moved in. They tackled the greasy kitchen and the grimy bathroom, making the whole place feel brand new. It made such a great first impression, all thanks to this fantastic apartment cleaning service."

Questions and answers
The details before you book.
These are the questions apartment dwellers ask us most. Every answer is open by default, so nothing is hidden behind a click. Still curious? Our full FAQ page goes deeper.
How much does apartment cleaning cost in NYC? 01
Standard apartment cleanings start at $150, and the final flat rate depends on bedroom and bathroom count, the type of clean, condition, and any add-ons. You get the whole number online in about a minute, before you confirm anything. Full detail lives on the pricing page, and recurring clients recieve a frequency discount on every visit.
Do you bring cleaning supplies? 02
Yes. Our teams arrive with professional supplies and equipment, so you never have to stock a thing - which matters when you have half a closet to spare. Prefer greener products because of kids or pets? Ask in your booking notes. If you love a specific product for a specific surface, leave it out with a note and the team will use it.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning? 03
No. Most of our apartment clients are at work while we clean. Doorman handoff, lockbox, or a smart-lock code all work - just add access instructions in your booking notes. We coordinate with front desks, sign in at the building, and follow elevator rules so you do not have to. See preparing for your cleaning for the quick pre-visit rundown.
How long does an NYC apartment take to clean? 04
A studio or one-bedroom standard clean usually runs about two to three hours with one cleaner. A two-bedroom with two baths is longer, and a first-time deep clean can take twice as long as a routine visit because the the team is catching up on months of build-up. We'll give you a realistic window when you book.
Do you charge extra for walk-ups? 05
No stair surcharge. Fifth-floor walk-up in Bushwick, ground-floor in Bay Ridge, same price. What does help is telling us at booking so the team packs light and plans the trip, and letting us know if there's a service entrance or a loading rule we should follow.
Can you clean my Airbnb between guests? 06
Yes. Turnovers are a seperate rhythm from routine housekeeping - tight checkout-to-checkin windows, linens reset, bathroom restocked, and everything photo-ready for the next arrival. Hosts and landlords can read the scope on our short-term rental cleaning and turnover cleaning pages.
What if I am not happy with the clean? 07
Tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and re-clean the areas in question at no charge. That's our promise on every visit, in every borough. Read the full satisfaction guarantee for how it works, or the rescheduling policy if plans change.
