What you can ask for
Five ways into a cleaner home
Pick the job that sounds like yours. Each page explains what is usually included and what to agree before anyone starts.
Apartment deep cleaning
Top to bottom for a studio, a walk-up or a family-size unit, room by room.
Heavy duty cleaning
For a place that has gone a long while between cleans: grease, soap scum, built-up grime.
Post construction cleaning
The fine dust a renovation leaves on every ledge, vent and cabinet, cleared after the contractor.
Kitchen deep cleaning
Range, hood, backsplash, cabinet fronts and, if you ask, the inside of the oven and fridge.
The deep cleaning checklist
A room-by-room list to agree with the company before the day, so nothing is left to guesswork.

How it works
Three steps from the form to a cleaner home
No account, no pitch meeting. You describe the place and decide what happens next.
Tell us about the place
Pick what needs a deep clean and your borough, then add anything useful: the size of the place, when it was last cleaned, a renovation just finished.
A cleaning company gets in touch
Your request goes to an independent New York City cleaning company. It can reach you by phone or email to scope the job, room by room, and quote it.
You decide
Ask questions, compare it with anything else you have, and book only if it suits you. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Five boroughs
Deep cleaning in every borough
Prewar walk-ups, row houses, co-ops and new towers each bring their own kind of dust. Pick your borough for what to expect there.
Start here
What deep cleaning services in NYC usually include
A deep clean is the visit that goes past the surfaces you see every day. Where a regular clean wipes the counters, vacuums and does the bathroom, a deep clean works top to bottom through every room: the tops of door frames and high ledges, baseboards, light switches, vents and grilles, window sills and tracks, tile grout, shower glass, and the floor under and behind furniture that can be moved. In the kitchen it reaches the range hood, the backsplash and the cabinet fronts, and the inside of the oven, fridge and microwave if you ask for them.
Deep Cleaning Company NYC is an independent referral service, not a cleaning company. When you send the form, your request goes to an independent New York City cleaning company that scopes the job, quotes it and does any work.
That split keeps things simple. This site explains what to ask for and passes your request on; the cleaning company you hear from is the one that looks at the job, prices it and sends people with the right supplies. Nothing is booked until you agree to it.
Most requests fall into a few shapes. A whole-home clean for an apartment deep cleaning request is the most common: a studio or a two-bedroom that needs a reset after a long stretch, before guests, or at the start of a lease. A place that has gone much longer between cleans calls for heavy duty cleaning, where grease, soap scum and grime take more time and more passes. And after a renovation, the fine dust that settles everywhere is its own job, covered on the post construction cleaning NYC page.
Deep vs regular
How a deep clean differs from a weekly clean
The CDC draws a useful line for any home: “Cleaning removes most germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Clean with water, soap, and scrubbing.” Disinfecting is a separate step, which “kills most germs on surfaces and objects” and “is done with stronger bleach solutions or chemicals.” A deep clean is mostly about the first part, done thoroughly, in the places a weekly visit never reaches.
| Area | Regular clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Counters, sinks, toilets | Wiped and cleaned | Cleaned, plus fixtures, bases and edges |
| Floors | Vacuumed and mopped in the open | Edges, corners and under movable furniture |
| Kitchen | Surfaces and the range top | Hood, backsplash, cabinet fronts, appliances inside if asked |
| Bathroom | Quick wipe of tile | Grout, shower glass, soap scum, vent grille |
| Details | Usually skipped | Baseboards, door frames, switches, sills and tracks |
The CDC also says to “clean high-touch surfaces (for example, light switches, doorknobs, and countertops) regularly” and “after you have visitors in your home.” A deep clean is a good moment to bring all of those back to zero, and a weekly routine keeps them there.
If you are not sure which you need, say so in the form. The company that gets in touch can ask a few questions and suggest a scope. The deep cleaning checklist lays out the room-by-room lines to agree, so you both mean the same thing by “deep.”
New York buildings
What New York City apartments add to the job
Cleaning in New York City has its own texture. Many apartments sit in older buildings, with radiators and their covers, deep window sills, plaster moldings and tile that has seen decades of use. Galley kitchens pack a lot of grease into a small space. Bathrooms are often small, which makes grout and corners harder to reach well. Light switches, doorknobs and door frames get handled constantly in a small home.
Your building matters too. Many co-ops, condos and rental buildings have rules for service visits, building staff who need a heads-up, and set hours for using the elevator. Check with your super or management office before the day and mention anything that affects access in the form.
Each borough has its own mix. Brooklyn is home to about 2.65 million people (Census Bureau 2025 estimate) across 18 community districts, from brownstone blocks to new towers; the page on deep cleaning services in Brooklyn covers it neighborhood by neighborhood. Queens, with about 2.36 million people, runs from Astoria walk-ups to attached houses in Bayside and co-ops in Forest Hills; see the page for a deep cleaning service in Queens.
Know the limits
What a deep clean is not
A cleaning company cleans. Some problems in a New York City home belong to someone else, and knowing which ones saves time and money.
Mold that keeps coming back
A deep clean wipes soap scum and surface mildew from tile and grout. Mold growing on walls or ceilings is a different matter. NYC Health says owners of buildings with three or more apartments “are required to keep tenants’ homes free of mold,” which includes fixing the leaks behind it. If the area is more than 10 square feet in a building with 10 or more apartments, owners must use workers licensed by the New York State Department of Labor. Tell your landlord, and call 311 if nothing is done.
Pests
Under Local Law 55 of 2018, owners of buildings with three or more apartments must keep apartments “free of mold and pests” and use Integrated Pest Management. A cleaning company can clean up after the landlord’s pest work, but it is not pest control, and it does not treat bed bugs or roaches.
Lead dust after old paint is disturbed
HPD notes that lead paint is “often found in old paint” in New York City buildings built before 1960. If paint has been scraped or sanded, or a renovation has opened walls, the contractor’s lead-safe cleanup comes first. A final clean does not replace that, or a dust-lead test.
Products and air
Products, fresh air and what to do with old cleaners
Deep cleaning uses more product than a quick wipe, so air matters. The EPA notes that many cleaning, disinfecting and degreasing products contain organic solvents, and that concentrations of many of these compounds are “consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors.” Its advice is simple: “Increase ventilation when using products that emit VOCs,” “never mix household care products unless directed on the label,” and follow label instructions. The CDC says the same: “Do not mix products or chemicals with each other.”
- Ask the company which products it brings, or say if you want it to use yours.
- If anyone at home has asthma or allergies, say so in the form.
- Open windows where the weather allows, and run the bathroom and kitchen fans.
- Look for the EPA’s Safer Choice label if you buy your own; EPA reviews every ingredient in a labeled product.
A deep clean often turns up old bottles under the sink. The Department of Sanitation takes strong cleaners, along with paints and other potentially harmful items, at its SAFE Disposal events, held in each borough; only items from NYC residents are accepted. For dates and other options, see nyc.gov/safedisposal or call 311.
Ready to describe the job? The form takes about a minute, and an independent cleaning company can get in touch to scope and quote it.
You will not find a price on this site, because the size of the job sets it: the number of rooms, how long since the last thorough clean, whether the oven and fridge are in, how many windows and cabinets, and whether renovation dust is involved. Put those details in the form and the quote you get back will fit the place you actually live in.
Before the cleaner comes
- Clear counters and floors where you can
- Check your building’s rules for service visits
- Say what is fragile or off limits
- Agree which appliances and rooms are in
- Ask what products and supplies come along
Every corner, every ledge, every borough.
Is Deep Cleaning Company NYC a cleaning company?
No. Deep Cleaning Company NYC is an independent referral service, not a cleaning company. Your request goes to an independent New York City cleaning company that scopes the job, quotes it and does any work. This site cleans nothing and names no company.
Does it cost anything to ask?
No. Sending the form is free and you are never obliged to book. Any price comes from the cleaning company after it understands the job.
Why is there no price on the site?
Because the job sets it: rooms, how long since the last thorough clean, appliances inside, windows, cabinets and any renovation dust. Describe those in the form and the quote can fit your home.
What is included in a deep clean?
Usually everything a regular clean does plus baseboards, door frames, switches, vents, sills and tracks, grout, shower glass, cabinet fronts and the floor under movable furniture. Appliances inside are usually added on request. The deep cleaning checklist lists it room by room.
Which boroughs are covered?
All five: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Pick your borough in the form.
Can a deep clean remove mold?
It can clean soap scum and surface mildew from tile and grout. Mold growing on walls or ceilings is for the building owner to fix, and in buildings with 10 or more apartments an area over 10 square feet needs workers licensed by the New York State Department of Labor.
Do I need to be home?
That is between you and the company. Many people stay for the start to walk through the scope, then leave. Check your building’s rules for letting service visitors in.
