Pricing Factors
What Affects Your Final Price?
Home Size
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms determines how long the cleaning takes. A studio takes ~2 hours, a 3-bedroom takes 4–6+.
Service Type
Deep cleans and move-in/out take 2–3x longer than regular maintenance. More time = higher total, same hourly rate.
Current Condition
A home that hasn't been cleaned in months needs more attention on the first visit. After that, recurring visits are faster.
Supply Choice
$49/hr with your supplies or $65/hr when we bring professional-grade products and equipment. Same quality either way.
Quick Cost Guide
Studio/1BR regular clean: $98–$195 · 2BR deep clean: $245–$390 · 3BR move-out: $390–$520 · Post-reno: $325–$650
These are estimates at $49/hr. Add ~30% for the $65/hr supplies-included option. Every quote is customized to your specific home.

Common Questions
Pricing FAQ
How much does house cleaning cost in NYC?
Our rates are $49/hr when you provide supplies, $65/hr when we bring everything, and $100/hr for same-day emergency service. A typical NYC apartment cleaning costs $98–$390 depending on size and service type. We provide a custom quote based on your specific needs.
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
We charge by the hour at a flat rate. $49/hr if you provide cleaning supplies, $65/hr if we bring our own professional-grade products and equipment. The total cost depends on how long your cleaning takes, which we estimate upfront based on your home size and service type.
Is there a minimum charge?
Our minimum booking is 2 hours. For most studio and 1-bedroom regular cleanings, 2 hours is sufficient. Deep cleans and larger apartments typically require 3–6+ hours.
Do you charge extra for travel or different neighborhoods?
No. Every neighborhood we serve — from Manhattan to Brooklyn to Long Island — gets the same flat hourly rate. No travel surcharges, no surge pricing, no zone fees.
What's the difference between $49/hr and $65/hr?
At $49/hr, you provide the cleaning supplies and equipment (vacuum, mop, products). At $65/hr, we bring everything — professional-grade products, microfiber systems, and a commercial vacuum. The cleaning quality and thoroughness is identical.
How much does a deep cleaning cost?
Deep cleaning typically costs $196–$390 for a standard NYC apartment. Studios run $196–$245, 1-bedrooms $245–$325, and 2-3 bedrooms $325–$390+. The exact price depends on square footage, condition, and whether you want us to bring supplies.
How much does move-in/move-out cleaning cost?
Move-in/move-out cleaning runs $260–$520. These take 4–8 hours because we clean inside every cabinet, drawer, closet, and appliance. Empty apartments are easier to clean but require more detail work to be deposit-ready.
Do I pay before or after the cleaning?
After. We never charge upfront or take deposits. You pay only after the cleaning is complete, before the cleaner leaves. We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle (hi@thenycmaid.com), and credit card.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, Venmo, Zelle (hi@thenycmaid.com), and credit card (via Stripe). Payment is collected after the cleaning is complete. No deposits, no pre-authorization holds.
Do you offer discounts for recurring service?
Our hourly rate stays the same for recurring service, but recurring cleanings take less time because your home stays consistently clean. A weekly client's cleaning might take 2 hours vs. 4 hours for a first-time deep clean — so you naturally pay less per visit.
Is there a cancellation fee?
For one-time services, we have a no-cancellation policy once confirmed. For recurring services, we require 7 days notice to cancel and 3 days notice to reschedule. This protects our cleaners' schedules and livelihoods.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Text or call (212) 202-8400 with your address, home size, and service type and we'll provide a custom quote within minutes. No obligation, no pressure.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and bonding. Every cleaner is covered while working in your home. If anything is accidentally damaged, we handle it through our insurance.
How long does a typical cleaning take?
Regular apartment cleaning: 2–4 hours. Deep cleaning: 3–6 hours. Move-in/out: 4–8 hours. Post-construction: 5–10 hours. We estimate the time upfront so you know the approximate cost before we start.
Can I get a quote without booking?
Absolutely. Text (212) 202-8400 with your apartment details and we'll send a quote. No commitment required. Most quotes are delivered within 15 minutes.
