New York City's Trusted Home Cleaning Company Since 2018
Welcome to The NYC Maid
We're a small, dedicated cleaning company that treats every home like our own. No apps, no algorithms, no random strangers — just experienced, professional cleaners who show up on time, do beautiful work, and earn your trust visit after visit.
Whether it's a weekly cleaning for your Upper East Side apartment, a deep clean before guests arrive in Park Slope, or a move-out clean in Hoboken — we handle it all with care, attention to detail, and genuine pride in what we do.
We serve over 225 neighborhoods across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and New Jersey. Every cleaner is background-checked, insured, and paid fairly. We don't cut corners — on your home or on our people.
Our clients aren't looking for the cheapest option — they're looking for someone they can rely on. Someone who remembers how they like their kitchen cleaned, who notices the details, and who treats their space with respect. That's what we do. It's why families in Chelsea, Williamsburg, Forest Hills, and Great Neck keep us coming back week after week.
We started in 2018 with one cleaner and a commitment to doing things the right way. Today we're one of the highest-rated cleaning companies in New York — not because we're the biggest, but because we care the most. Read our customer reviews and see for yourself.

NYC Cleaning Cost Tips — How to Get the Best Value
Book recurring service for the best rate
Weekly and bi-weekly clients at $49/hr save significantly over one-time deep cleans. A weekly 2-hour clean costs just $98/visit — less than most NYC dinner tabs.
First cleaning always takes longer
Your initial deep clean may run 4–6 hours. After that, recurring maintenance cleanings are typically 2–3 hours because we're maintaining — not catching up.
Provide your own supplies to save 25%
The difference between $49/hr and $65/hr is who provides supplies. If you have a vacuum, mop, and basic products, you save $16/hr — that's $32+ per visit.
Declutter before we arrive
Our cleaners are most efficient when surfaces are accessible. Less time moving items means more time actually cleaning — better results, lower cost.
Bundle services for new apartments
Moving in? Book a move-in deep clean at $65/hr, then transition to weekly or bi-weekly at $49/hr with your own supplies for ongoing maintenance.
What Affects the Cost of House Cleaning in NYC?
Apartment size
A studio takes 2 hours. A 3-bedroom may take 5–6. We charge by the hour so you only pay for the time your space actually needs — no inflated flat rates.
Cleaning type
A regular maintenance clean is faster than a deep clean. Deep cleans cover inside appliances, baseboards, window tracks, and behind furniture — expect 2x the time.
Condition of the space
A well-maintained home that gets cleaned weekly takes less time than a first-time clean or post-construction job. Recurring clients see lower bills over time.
Supplies
At $49/hr you provide supplies. At $65/hr we bring commercial-grade vacuums, microfiber systems, and professional products. Both options include the same quality of work.
Urgency
Same-day and emergency service is $100/hr because we prioritize your booking and dispatch immediately. Plan ahead to save — most clients book 2–3 days in advance.
How NYC Maid Pricing Compares to the Industry
Most NYC cleaning companies charge $75–$120/hr or use opaque flat-rate quotes that hide the true cost. We publish our rates, charge by the hour, and never surprise you with add-on fees. What you see is what you pay.
