What Is Bi-Weekly Cleaning?
Bi-weekly cleaning is a recurring service every two weeks — more thorough than weekly maintenance, more affordable than scheduling every seven days.
Bi-weekly cleaning is the most popular schedule for NYC couples, small apartments, and professionals who keep a relatively tidy home between visits. Your cleaner arrives every 14 days and performs a thorough cleaning of the entire apartment — kitchen, bathrooms, all surfaces, floors, and more.
Because two weeks of buildup accumulates between visits, each bi-weekly clean is slightly more thorough than a weekly visit. Expect each session to run 2.5–4 hours depending on apartment size. Your cleaner will give extra attention to the kitchen, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas where grime builds up fastest.
Like all recurring services, you get the same assigned cleaner every visit. They learn your home, your expectations, and your cleaning priorities. Over time, bi-weekly cleanings become faster and more efficient because your cleaner knows exactly what needs attention.
When Is Bi-Weekly the Right Schedule?
If any of these apply to you, a professional bi-weekly cleaning is the move. Text us and we'll get you on the schedule.

Pro Tips
Bi-Weekly Cleaning Tips for NYC Apartment Dwellers
Bi-weekly is ideal for 1-bedroom apartments
A 1-bedroom apartment with one or two occupants rarely needs weekly professional cleaning. Bi-weekly keeps it in excellent shape while saving you roughly $400/month compared to weekly service.
Do light maintenance between visits
Quick tasks between bi-weekly cleanings — wiping down the kitchen counter after cooking, a fast bathroom wipe, running the vacuum — extend the "just cleaned" feeling and make your cleaner's job even more effective.
Consider upgrading to weekly during summer
NYC summers bring more dust, allergens, and AC use. Many bi-weekly clients temporarily switch to weekly June–September, then drop back to bi-weekly in the fall. We make schedule changes easy.
Pair with a seasonal deep clean
Bi-weekly maintenance keeps your apartment clean, but twice a year, book a deep clean to hit the areas that regular cleaning doesn't cover — inside appliances, baseboards, behind furniture.
Bi-Weekly vs. Weekly — Which Schedule Saves More?
Bi-weekly service costs roughly half of weekly service over a year — that's $2,400–$5,000 in savings depending on apartment size.
The trade-off: each bi-weekly cleaning takes slightly longer (and costs slightly more per visit) than a weekly clean because there's more buildup. A weekly 2-hour clean at $49/hr is $98/visit; a bi-weekly visit might run 2.5–3 hours for $122–$147.
For most 1-bedroom and small 2-bedroom apartments with 1–2 occupants, bi-weekly provides the best value-to-cleanliness ratio. If you have kids, pets, or cook daily, weekly is usually worth the upgrade.
What Gets Extra Attention on a Bi-Weekly Clean?
With 14 days between visits, certain areas need deeper attention than they would on a weekly schedule. Your cleaner will spend extra time on:
Kitchen: stovetop degreasing, counter sanitization, sink deep polish, appliance exterior wipe-down, floor scrubbing.
Bathrooms: toilet deep clean, shower/tub scrubbing, grout attention, mirror and glass, floor scrubbing.
Floors: thorough vacuuming including under furniture edges, mopping with attention to corners and baseboards.
Surfaces: detailed dusting of shelves, frames, electronics, and windowsills that accumulate visible dust over two weeks.
Bi-Weekly Cleaning Cost Summary
Bi-weekly cleaning typically costs $120–$260 per visit. A 1-bedroom usually takes 2.5 hours ($122 at $49/hr). A 2-bedroom averages 3 hours ($147 at $49/hr). Over a year, that's roughly $3,200–$6,800 — about half the cost of weekly service.
