What Exactly Is a Deep Cleaning?
A deep clean goes far beyond a regular tidy-up. It targets the grime, dust, and buildup that accumulates over weeks and months in places you don't normally reach.
A deep cleaning covers everything a regular cleaning does — plus inside appliances, behind furniture, baseboards, light fixtures, window tracks, cabinet interiors, vent covers, and detailed bathroom scrubbing. It's the reset button for your home.
Most NYC apartments need a deep clean before transitioning to a recurring maintenance schedule. If it's been more than a month since your last professional cleaning — or if you've never had one — a deep clean is where to start.
Our deep cleans typically take 4-8 hours depending on apartment size and condition. A studio might take 3-4 hours; a 3-bedroom that hasn't been professionally cleaned can take 6-8 hours. We don't rush — we clean until the job is done right.

Pro Tips
NYC Deep Cleaning — Insider Tips From Local Pros
Pre-war apartments need extra attention
Older NYC buildings have crown molding, intricate baseboards, original hardwood, and radiators that collect decades of dust. Our cleaners are experienced with these details and know how to clean them without damage.
High-rise dust is real
Upper-floor apartments collect more airborne dust from HVAC systems. Deep cleaning air vents, window tracks, and behind furniture makes a massive difference in air quality and cleanliness.
Schedule your deep clean on a weekday
Weekday availability is typically better than weekends. If you can work from home or leave a key, weekday deep cleans mean we can start earlier and take the time needed without feeling rushed.
Your first deep clean always takes the longest
After the initial deep clean, switching to a weekly or bi-weekly maintenance schedule at $49/hr keeps your apartment in great shape. Most recurring clients never need another deep clean — because we maintain it.
Declutter before we arrive
The less clutter on surfaces, the more actual cleaning we can do. Clear countertops, pick up clothes, and tidy personal items so our cleaners can focus on scrubbing, not moving things.
How Long Does a Deep Cleaning Take in NYC?
The duration depends entirely on apartment size and current condition. Here's what to expect:
Studio / 1-bedroom: 3-4 hours for a well-maintained apartment, 4-5 hours if it hasn't been professionally cleaned recently.
2-bedroom: 4-5 hours typical. A neglected 2BR can take 5-6 hours.
3-bedroom+: 5-8 hours depending on condition. Large apartments with multiple bathrooms take the longest.
We never rush. Our cleaners work methodically room by room, and they don't leave until the job is done. If a deep clean runs longer than estimated, we'll communicate with you before continuing.
Deep Cleaning Pricing — What Affects the Cost?
We charge by the hour — $49/hr with your supplies, $65/hr when we bring everything. The total cost depends on how long the job takes.
Apartment size is the biggest factor. A studio takes 3-4 hours, a 3-bedroom takes 5-8 hours.
Current condition matters. An apartment that gets cleaned monthly will take less time than one that hasn't been touched in 6 months.
Special requests like inside-cabinet cleaning, window washing, or laundry add time.
The good news: after your initial deep clean, you can switch to recurring maintenance at $49/hr, which is significantly cheaper per visit because we're maintaining — not catching up.
Deep Cleaning Cost Summary
Most deep cleans cost between $196 and $390 total. A studio typically runs $196–$245 (4–5 hrs at $49/hr), while a 3-bedroom averages $320–$390 (5–6 hrs at $65/hr). Your first deep clean is always the most expensive — after that, recurring service at $49/hr keeps costs low.
