Deep Cleaning in East Harlem

Deep Cleaning for East Harlem Homes

East Harlem's apartments work hard. Multigenerational households, kitchens that run from breakfast to late dinner, bathrooms shared by four or five people — a Standard Cleaning keeps up week to week, but grease still migrates onto the cabinet fronts, grout darkens, and the film on the shower door thickens. A deep clean starts with all of that: oven, fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher cleaned inside; cabinet fronts, range hood and backsplash degreased; bathroom grout scrubbed and fixtures descaled; old tile and tub cleaned with non-abrasives.

The housing between 96th and 125th ranges from tenement walk-ups with original details to mid-century buildings to the new waterfront towers, and the detail work adapts to each. In the older buildings that means radiator covers and deep sills, painted-over window tracks and worn baseboards, all washed rather than dusted. In the newer ones it's stone counters and glass showers. Everywhere we wash door frames and switch plates, spot-clean walls, detail blinds, vents and light fixtures, and finish the floors last, including under anything we can safely move.

We book deep cleans seven days a week including mornings and evenings at no premium. A one- or two-bedroom takes four to six hours; for a larger family apartment we send two cleaners and finish in one visit. There's no stair surcharge for a walk-up and no distance charge — the flat rate is identical to the Upper East Side and confirmed before we begin. Anything missed is re-cleaned free within 24 hours.
