Move Out and Move In Cleaning in NYC

The lease ends Friday, there are boxes everywhere, and the apartment still has to be clean before you hand back the keys. Send us one quick request with your move-out date. We'll pass it to a local cleaner who works across New York City. They'll contact you, ask about the apartment and give you a quote.

Request a move-out cleaning

Send your request early

Move dates are hard deadlines. The sooner the cleaner knows your date, the better the chance they can fit you in. In your request, include:

  • Your move-out date, and whether there's any flexibility.
  • Whether the apartment will be empty. An empty apartment is easier to clean.
  • The size of the apartment.
  • Anything your landlord or building expects, like the inside of the oven or fridge.

Move-in cleaning

Want the new place clean before your things arrive? Choose "Move-out or move-in cleaning" in the request and tell us the date you get the keys. An empty apartment is the easiest time to clean it.

Building rules in NYC

Many buildings have rules for workers: set hours, the service entrance, booking the elevator. Mention any rules in your request so the cleaner can plan around them.

About your deposit

No cleaner can promise your landlord will return your deposit. That's between you and your landlord. A clean apartment is one less thing for them to point to.

What affects the cost

We can't give you a price. The cleaner quotes the job after asking about the apartment. The things that change the price most are:

  • The size of the apartment.
  • Whether it's empty.
  • The condition it's in.
  • The extras you ask for, like the inside of the oven, fridge or cabinets.

There's no cost to you for the connection, and you decide whether to go ahead.

Common questions

Do you do the cleaning yourselves?

No. NYC Cleaning Help is a referral service. We pass your request to an independent local cleaner who does the work. How this works

How far ahead should I send a request?

As soon as you know your date. We pass requests along as quickly as we can, usually within one business day. The cleaner then reaches out to set up a time.

Does the apartment need to be empty?

No, but an empty apartment is easier to clean. If your things will still be there, say so in your request.

Can you clean the place I'm moving into?

Yes. Choose "Move-out or move-in cleaning" in the request and tell us the date you get the keys.

Does it cost anything to send a request?

No. There's no charge to you for the connection. The cleaner quotes the job, and you decide whether to go ahead.
