Cleaning guides for New York City

Short, practical guides written from the prices and companies in this directory.

How much does house cleaning cost in New York City?

A typical house clean in New York City costs $90–$200 per visit. That range is the median of priced cleaning services we checked in November 2026 (TrustAnalytica). What you actually pay depends on the size of your home, whether it is a standard or deep clean, and how often you book.

Published prices from companies in this directory

  • Cleany: standard clean from $149, deep clean from $239. Recurring discounts: 15% off weekly, 10% off bi-weekly, 5% off monthly.
  • Sparkly Maid: flat rates from $170. Commercial cleaning $80 per hour with a 3-hour minimum; post-construction cleaning $90 per hour with a 3-hour minimum.

What changes the price

  • Size: a studio costs less than a three-bedroom. Most companies price by bedrooms and bathrooms.
  • Condition: a first clean or a home that has not been cleaned in a while usually costs more than a maintenance clean.
  • Frequency: recurring bookings are cheaper per visit than one-offs, and several companies discount weekly and bi-weekly plans.
  • Extras: inside ovens and fridges, laundry, windows and pet hair are often charged separately.

What other New Yorkers report paying

Reviewers report paying $150–$450 depending on the job. Treat that as anecdotal — it comes from customer reviews, not published rates, and the top end covers large homes and deep cleans.

Our advice: get quotes from two or three companies and compare the same scope. A quote that looks cheap but excludes the kitchen or the bathrooms is not actually cheaper.

How to choose a cleaning company in NYC

There are dozens of cleaning companies in New York City, and most of them look the same from their websites. These five checks separate the reliable ones from the rest.

  • Verify insurance and bonding. Ask for proof before the first visit, and ask what happens if something is damaged or goes missing.
  • Get the scope in writing. The quote should list the rooms, the tasks and what counts as an extra. If it is vague, the price will be too.
  • Check reviews by volume, not just stars. A 4.8 from 779 reviews is a stronger signal than a 5.0 from 20. Read the one- and two-star reviews to see how the company handles problems.
  • Confirm supplies and equipment. Some companies bring everything; others expect you to provide a vacuum or cleaning products. Know which before the day.
  • Confirm the re-clean policy. A company that promises to come back within 24 hours if you are not happy is telling you it stands behind its work. Get that promise in writing.

Once you have a shortlist, request quotes through this directory — it costs nothing, and you can compare two or three companies on the same job before you commit.
