Deep Cleaning in Upper East Side

Deep Cleaning for Upper East Side Homes

Pre-war Upper East Side apartments are built for a deep clean. Park and Fifth Avenue co-ops and the brownstones east of Lexington come with original details — plaster moldings, radiator alcoves, deep window sills, herringbone floors, hexagonal bathroom tile — that a Standard Cleaning dusts but never really washes. Add New York's hard water, which leaves a mineral haze on shower glass and chrome within months, and the grease that drifts onto cabinet fronts above the stove, and you have a home that looks fine at a glance and isn't quite, up close.

We work through it systematically. Kitchen first: oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and dishwasher cleaned inside; cabinet fronts, range hood and backsplash degreased; behind and beneath appliances where they can be moved. Bathrooms next: shower glass, faucets and showerheads descaled; grout scrubbed; old tile and enamel cleaned with non-abrasives so nothing is dulled. Then the detail work through every room — baseboards, moldings, door frames and switch plates washed; radiator covers, blinds, vents and light fixtures hand-wiped; window sills and tracks cleared; interior glass done streak-free. Floors are finished last so nothing settles on them.

Most Upper East Side clients book a deep clean seasonally, before starting a recurring plan, or when taking over an apartment someone else lived in. It takes roughly twice as long as a standard clean, so for a classic six or seven we send two cleaners and it still finishes in one visit. The rate is flat and confirmed before we begin, however long it actually takes. Our office is at 79th and 3rd, so scheduling is easy and a return visit under the guarantee is minutes away.

Pricing is a flat rate confirmed before we arrive — use the instant estimator for a range in seconds. For everything this service covers and how we approach it, see our Deep Cleaning page, or read more about cleaning in Upper East Side.
