Chelsea, Manhattan Price known before we knocked
A real Lily Maids story
Ashley asked "how much" first. Then she booked.
Ashley D. lives in Chelsea and works from home. She told us she'd fallen way behind on cleaning and the clutter had started messing with her anxiety. But the thing that had stopped her from calling anybody for months wasn't the mess. It was the money. She had called two other companies before us and both of them said the same thing: "we'll have to see it first."
She didnt want a mystery. So she used our online quote, put in her apartment size, picked a deep clean, and had a flat price on screen in under a minute. No walkthrough, no sales call, no "starting at" games. Our team came, tackled every room, and scrubbed the place top to bottom. In her review she wrote that they "turned my chaotic mess into a peaceful sanctuary" and that she actually enjoys working from home now.
That is what this page is for. Below you'll find exactly what goes into your price, what each cleaning type costs, where the real discounts are, and the stuff other companies charge extra for that we just include. If you'd rather skip the reading, get your price here or see how it works.

How your quote is built
Six things move your price.
No mystery math. Here is every single thing that changes what you pay, and nothing else does. Not your floor number, not your zip code, not whether your building has an elevator.
Factor
Effect
Size of effect
What it means for you
Home size
Bedrooms + bathrooms
Biggest
A studio takes far less time than a 3-bedroom. Bathrooms are the heaviest lift per square foot, so they count more than bedrooms.
Cleaning type
Standard, deep, or move
Big
A standard visit is maintenance. A deep clean adds inside the oven, inside the fridge, baseboards, and behind furniture, so it runs higher.
Condition
How long since the last clean
Medium
If it's been six months, tell us at booking. We'd rather book the right amount of time than rush and leave you unhappy.
Frequency
One-time vs recurring
Medium (in your favor)
Recurring plans cost less per visit than a single one-time clean. Weekly saves the most, then bi-weekly, then monthly.
Add-ons
Optional extras you pick
Small
Inside oven, inside fridge, interior windows, laundry, cabinet interiors. Each one has its own price listed at checkout.

Codes come off the total before you confirm, so you always see the final number, not an estimate.
Things that never add to your price: walk-up stairs, doorman coordination, elevator reservations, parking, travel time inside our service area, or bringing our own supplies and vacuum. Compare that to the hourly rates the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks for housekeeping work and you'll see why flat pricing is usually kinder to a New York budget.

What each service costs
Every clean, and what drives its price.
Some cleanings are quick maintenance. Some are all-day jobs. Here's the honest breakdown so you can pick the one that actually fits your home and your budget.
Starts at $150 Kitchens · baths · floors
The baseline rate
Standard Basic Cleaning
This is the price most people are looking for when they search for cleaning costs in the city. Standard basic cleaning starts at $150 and covers the whole apartment: kitchen counters and stovetop, sink scrubbed, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts, all bathrooms sanitized, every room dusted, beds made, and floors vacuumed and mopped. Supplies and equipment are in that price. Your exact number depends on bedroom and bathroom count, which you'll see the moment you enter them online. See the full standard cleaning scope so you know exactly what $150 buys.

Apartment Cleaning
Apartment cleaning is priced by bedrooms and bathrooms, not square footage, and that works out well for New Yorkers. A tight one-bedroom in a pre-war building costs the same as a roomier one-bedroom across town, because the workload is the same. Studios sit at the bottom of the range. Add a second bathroom and the price moves more than adding a second bedroom would, since bathrooms take real time. Our apartment cleaning service handles doormen, elevator rules, and walk-ups at no extra cost. See rates for your area on our Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens pages.
Costs more, does more
Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning prices above a standard visit and it should, because it's a much longer job. Inside the oven. Inside the fridge. Baseboards, door frames, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, behind and under furniture, and the radiator dust that piles up all winter. Most homes only need this once or twice a year, or as the first visit before a recurring plan starts. It's also the one allergy sufferers ask for most, since indoor dust builds up fast in closed-up city apartments, something the EPA's indoor air quality guidance covers well. See what a deep cleaning includes before you decide.
$30 off with MOVE30 Empty-home turnovers

Move in and Move out Cleaning
Move cleaning is priced like a deep clean because that's what it is, with the whole home empty so we can reach inside every cabinet, drawer, oven, and fridge. Our move-out cleaning follows the checklists NYC landlords use at final walkthroughs. Moving in instead? Our move-in cleaning happens before the boxes land. Code MOVE30 takes $30 off either one. If you're unsure what your landlord can and cannot hold back from a deposit, the NYC HPD tenant resources are the place to check.
Lowest per-visit price Weekly · bi-weekly · monthly
The cheapest way to stay clean
Recurring Cleaning
If you want the lowest price per visit, this is it. Recurring cleaning costs less each time than booking the same clean once, because a maintained home takes less work than a neglected one. Weekly gets the biggest break, then bi-weekly, then monthly. Your exact plan discount shows in the quote before you confirm. Add the FLEXIBLE code for another 5% off every visit if you can give us a wider arrival window. No contract, no cancellation trap, and you can pause or reschedule under our rescheduling policy.
Book once, no commitment Single-visit pricing
No plan, no strings
One Time Cleaning
Not everybody wants a schedule, and that's fine. One time cleaning is a single flat-rate visit with nothing to cancel afterward. It's what people book before parents visit, after a long trip, or when the apartment has just gotten away from them. It prices slightly higher per visit than a recurring plan, which is the only tradeoff. First-time customers can still stack the NEW10 code on top of it.
Same team when possible Ongoing household help
Ongoing household help
Housekeeping Service
Housekeeping service is our recurring visit for households that want more hands-on upkeep: beds made and linens changed, kitchen reset, bathrooms kept sanitary, floors done, and the tidying that keeps a home from tipping over. Pricing follows the recurring plan rates, so the more often we come the less each visit costs. We try to send the same cleaner every time, which matters more than people expect once you get used to somebody knowing where your things go. Our maid service page covers the full scope.
Same flat rate Subject to availability
Today, if we have a slot
Same Day Cleaning Service
Here's something worth knowing: we don't charge a rush fee. Same day cleaning service costs the same flat rate as booking two weeks out. The only catch is availability, since it depends on what's already on that day's schedule and where you are in the city. Call (646) 825-3550 and we'll tell you straight away whether a team can get to you. If guests are landing tonight, this is the one to ask about.
For hosts and landlords
AirBnB Cleaning Service
Turnovers price a little differently than a home clean, because the job is different: linens, restock, guest-ready presentation, and a tight window between checkout and check-in. Our short-term rental cleaning and turnover cleaning both run on a per-turnover flat rate, and hosts with multiple units or a steady schedule get recurring-plan pricing. Managing a long-term unit instead? See rental property cleaning. The rental cleaning checklist shows the scope per visit.
More services, same flat pricing.
Residential cleaning across every category we offer, each with its own quote in the same 60-second flow. Nothing here is priced by the hour.

★★★★★
"After a long business trip abroad, I came back to a stale, dusty apartment and was just too exhausted to deal with it. I called this service for a complete house cleaning, and they magically transformed the place from a mess into a pristine haven. Coming home to a spotless, great-smelling apartment was the best feeling after a long journey."
★★★★★
"We hosted our daughter's 5th birthday party at our apartment, and the post-party cleanup was a nightmare. This house cleaning service was our saving grace, as they handled the entire restoration, making our home sparkle from top to bottom. It was incredible to wake up the next morning to a perfectly clean home, with no trace of the chaos from the day before."
★★★★★
"My elderly mother has difficulty keeping up with chores, and I was worried about her living conditions. I scheduled a house cleaning service for her, and they were so respectful and thorough, giving her apartment a much-needed deep clean. She feels so much better and lighter in her home, and I have peace of mind knowing she's in a safe, sanitary environment."
★★★★★
"We were preparing our apartment for a real estate showing and the place needed to look flawless. The team came in and executed an incredible house cleaning, focusing on the details and leaving every surface gleaming. The real estate agent commented on how clean and well-maintained the home looked, which helped the potential buyers feel a genuine connection to the space."
★★★★★
"My partner was recovering from surgery and I was juggling work and caregiving, with no time to clean the house. This service provided a fantastic house cleaning, making the home a clean, comfortable, and restful space for them to recover in. It lifted such a huge burden off my shoulders and allowed me to focus on what truly mattered."
★★★★★
"We just finished a major renovation and were living in a cloud of construction dust. We booked a post-renovation house cleaning, and they were absolute miracle workers, eliminating every last bit of debris and grime from the floors and surfaces. The place looks brand new and we can finally settle in and enjoy our beautiful, clean home."
★★★★★
"My college student son has a small apartment nearby, and I wanted to get it cleaned before his grandparents visited him. The house cleaning service did a thorough job getting his place into shape; they scrubbed the bathroom, vacuumed, and made it all look presentable. Seeing how happy my parents were with the neat environment was a relief, and we all felt comfortable thanks to the team's work."
★★★★★
"It was allergy season and the dust and pet dander in our apartment were driving us crazy, so we needed a specialized house cleaning. The team didn't just dust; they went deep into the vents and corners to remove all the allergens, leaving the air feeling crisp and clean. For the first time in weeks, we can breathe easily, and the floors look absolutely amazing."
★★★★★
"We were preparing for a Passover Seder with a large group, and the apartment absolutely had to be spotless for the holiday. This house cleaning service did an incredible job on the kitchen, making it shine, and meticulously cleaned every room so our guests would feel right at home. They made our holiday prep significantly less stressful and our home was truly ready to host."

Two things worth knowing. First, many homes start a plan with a one-off deep clean so the recurring visits have a clean baseline to maintain, and you'll see that option in the quote. Second, FLEXIBLE stacks on top of any plan for another 5% off every visit. No contracts, and you can pause or move a visit under our cancellation and rescheduling policy.

Questions and answers
Money questions, answered straight.
These are the pricing questions New Yorkers ask us most. Every answer is open by default, so nothing's hidden behind a click. More on our full FAQ page, or just call (646) 825-3550.
How much does house cleaning cost in New York City? 01
Standard cleanings start at $150. Your exact price depends on bedroom and bathroom count, the cleaning type you pick, current condition, and any add-ons. Deep cleans and move cleans run higher than standard because they cover a lot more ground. The quickest way to know is our online quote, which takes about 60 seconds and shows the final flat rate before you confirm anything.
Do you charge by the hour or a flat rate? 02
Flat rate, always. You see one number and that's what you pay, whether the team finishes early or takes longer than expected. Hourly pricing puts the risk on you, since a slow visit costs you more. Flat pricing puts it on us, which is how we think it should be. See how it works for the full booking flow.
Are there hidden fees, travel charges, or walk-up fees? 03
No. Not for a 5th floor walk-up, not for coordinating with your doorman, not for reserving the service elevator, not for parking, and not for supplies. Everything in the price is shown at checkout before you confirm. If a company won't quote you without a walkthrough first, that's usually a sign the number can move later.
Do I save money with a recurring cleaning plan? 04
Yes. Every recurring plan costs less per visit than a one-time clean, and weekly saves the most, followed by bi-weekly then monthly. Your exact plan discount appears in the quote so you can compare them side by side. There's no contract, and the FLEXIBLE code takes another 5% off each visit.
Why does a deep cleaning cost more than a standard one? 05
Because it's several more hours of work. A deep cleaning adds inside the oven, inside the fridge, baseboards, door frames, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, and behind and under furniture. A standard visit is maintenance on top of an already-clean home. If it's been six months or more since your last professional clean, a deep clean is usually the better value even at the higher price. Compare both on standard and deep scope pages.
Can I use more than one coupon code? 06
One promo code per booking. NEW10 is first-time customers only, MOVE30 applies to move-in and move-out cleanings, and FLEXIBLE is a standing 5% off that applies when you choose a wider arrival window. The system will show you which one saves you the most on your particular booking. Terms are on our terms page.
When do I pay, and what if I'm not happy? 07
You book online with your card and payment is processed around the service, not weeks later. If something's not right, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and re-clean the areas in question at no charge. That's our satisfaction guarantee, and it applies in all three boroughs at every price point. You can also verify how a cleaning company handles complaints through the Better Business Bureau before you book anybody.
Does same-day cleaning cost extra? 08
No rush fee. Same day cleaning is the same flat rate as booking two weeks ahead. The only limit is availability on that day and in your area. Call (646) 825-3550 and we'll tell you within a minute whether a team can get to you.

"Our lease was ending and we needed an end-of-lease house cleaning to secure our security deposit. They were extremely detail-oriented, especially with the stove, oven, and bathroom, making the apartment look move-in ready. We got our full deposit back and the landlord was very impressed, all thanks to their hard work."

"With our new roommate moving in, we were a bit embarrassed by the state of the common areas and wanted to make a good impression. The house cleaning service came and transformed the entire apartment, leaving the kitchen shiny and the floors spotless.
