Standard Cleaning in Carnegie Hill

Standard Cleaning for Carnegie Hill Homes

From 86th to 98th Street between Fifth and Lexington, Carnegie Hill is a designated historic district of limestone townhouses, landmarked pre-war co-ops and a handful of newer buildings toward Third Avenue. The interiors tend to be beautifully kept and full of materials that don't forgive an aggressive product: oak and walnut herringbone, marble and limestone bathrooms, original plaster moldings, brass hardware. A Standard Cleaning here uses neutral soap on the wood, a stone-safe cleaner on marble, non-abrasives on old enamel and tile, and soft cloths everywhere else.

The clean itself is thorough and predictable. Kitchen counters, stovetop, sink and appliance exteriors sanitized; bathrooms scrubbed and disinfected with attention to the grout lines in older tile; floors vacuumed and mopped; every reachable surface dusted, including the moldings, picture rails and radiator covers that collect a fine film in a pre-war apartment; mirrors and interior glass wiped; trash emptied; beds made and rooms tidied. We work quietly and leave things exactly where we found them.

Carnegie Hill clients tend to be long-tenured, and so are their arrangements with us — many have been on a weekly or bi-weekly plan for years. You don't need to be home; a key or a lockbox is all we need, and every cleaner is trusted and vetted. The rate is flat and confirmed before we arrive, and if anything falls short, tell us within 24 hours and we'll return at no charge. Our office at 79th and 3rd is a few minutes south.
