A real Lily Maids story
Sarah had four hours. We had a plan.
Sarah M. on the Upper West Side called us in a panic. Her in-laws were landing from London in just a few hours, and her apartment was in complete disarray. Our team swooped in, worked room by room, and by the time the airport taxi pulled up, her home looked, in her words, "more beautiful and organized than I ever could have managed alone."
That is what a house cleaning service New York City families can actually rely on looks like. Fast when it has to be. Thorough every single time. Lily Maids is a locally owned team of insured, background-checked cleaners serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Whether you need a one-time reset before guests arrive, a deep cleaning that reaches the radiator dust, or a recurring plan that keeps your place ready all the time, we make it easy: pick a time, get a flat price, and come home to clean.

Our maid service New York City clients get the same trained, insured team following the same standard cleaning checklist every visit, so you always know exactly what you are getting.

Most of NYC lives in apartments
Apartment Cleaning Service in NYC.
Small spaces are harder to clean well. Every surface works overtime and clutter has nowhere to hide. Our apartment cleaning service New York City teams are trained for tight kitchens, compact bathrooms, and buildings with strict hallway rules - from pre-war classics on the Upper East Side to converted lofts in Williamsburg. We coordinate with doormen, follow building elevator rules, and handle walk-ups without a fuss. Need ongoing help? Our apartment cleaning pairs perfectly with a recurring schedule.
Top to bottom, inside out
Deep Cleaning Service.
Every NYC home has spots the weekly wipe-down never reaches. Inside the oven and fridge. Behind and under furniture. Baseboards, door frames, light fixtures, cabinet interiors, and the radiator dust that builds all winter. Our deep cleaning service New York City visit gets all of it. It is also the smart first step before a recurring plan, and a big help during allergy season - the American Lung Association notes that dust and indoor allergens build up fast in closed-up city apartments. See what a deep cleaning includes.

Move In / Out Cleaning.
Moving in NYC is stressful enough without scrubbing an empty apartment at midnight. Our move-out cleaning follows the checklists NYC landlords actually use at final walkthroughs. Moving in? Our move-in cleaning happens before the boxes arrive, so your first night is in a truly clean home. We also handle turnover cleaning and short-term rental cleaning for hosts and landlords. Confirm access and elevator reservations when you book - and save $30 with code MOVE30.
Same team, when possible Weekly · bi-weekly · monthly
Recurring care
Recurring Cleaning Service.
The best-kept homes in the city are not cleaned harder, they are cleaned regularly. Weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring plans give home care a place on the calendar before the to-do list takes over. It is how Karen in Forest Hills keeps her elderly mother's apartment consistently clean and safe, and how busy parents in Chelsea get their weekends back. Same standard every visit, and the same team whenever possible.
More ways we clean.
One-time resets, same-day rescues, spring refreshes, and morning-after party cleanups. If it needs cleaning in New York City, there is a good chance we do it.

New babies, knee surgeries, birthday parties, open houses - here is what New Yorkers say after we leave. Read all reviews >
★★★★★
"We desperately needed a nesting clean to get the nursery and apartment ready for the baby. The team was so thorough, using eco-friendly products to eliminate dust and allergens without any harsh fumes. Knowing the whole home is sanitized and spotless has given us such peace of mind."
★★★★★
"My husband just had knee surgery and came home to a house that had been neglected for weeks. This house cleaning service was a lifesaver, handling the heavy lifting and deep scrubbing so I could focus on his recovery. It really helped lift his spirits."
★★★★★
"We hosted a large birthday party for our daughter, and the post-party mess was overwhelming; toys, food stains, and glitter everywhere. They arrived the next morning and turned a disaster zone back into a calm, clean living space in just a few hours."
★★★★★
"As a new mom, I'm constantly overwhelmed and the housework had fallen so far behind. Hiring this professional house cleaning service lifted such a heavy weight off my shoulders - they even organized the cluttered living room and did a phenomenal job on the bathrooms."
★★★★★
"I had to prepare my rental unit for a new tenant, but between my full-time job and the kids, there was simply no time. They were incredibly efficient, making the entire apartment shine from top to bottom. The new tenants were blown away by how spotless it was."
★★★★★
"We were getting our apartment ready for a real estate open house and it needed to look flawless. The team did a complete top-to-bottom clean, including inside all the cabinets and windows. The apartment looked so bright and inviting that we had multiple offers within the week."
★★★★★
"We just finished a major renovation on our loft, and the construction dust had settled on literally every surface. Their post-construction clean removed every trace of dust and debris, making the new space truly livable. Such a relief to finally see our home without a layer of grime."
★★★★★
"My elderly mother lives alone and her mobility has made it impossible to keep up with the cleaning. I arranged weekly visits, and they have been absolutely wonderful and respectful. Her apartment is now consistently clean and safe, which gives our whole family tremendous peace of mind."
★★★★★
"Returning from a 3-week work trip to a messy apartment is the last thing anyone wants. I pre-booked a clean for the day I got back, and they had my place fresh before I even unpacked my bags. Walking into a spotless home made the transition back to reality so much easier."

Questions and answers
The details before you book.
These are the questions New Yorkers ask us most. Every answer is open by default, so nothing is hidden behind a click. Still curious? Our full FAQ page goes deeper.
What is included in a standard house cleaning? 01
Every standard visit covers the kitchen (counters, stovetop, sink, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts), bathrooms (tub, shower, toilet, vanity, mirrors), all living areas and bedrooms (dusting, surfaces, mirrors, beds made), plus vacuuming and mopping throughout and trash removal. See the full standard cleaning checklist and our complete cleaning checklist for the room-by-room detail.
Do you bring cleaning supplies? 02
Yes. Our teams arrive with professional supplies and equipment, so you never have to stock a thing. Prefer green products for kids or pets? Ask for EPA Safer Choice certified products in your booking notes and we will use them. If you love a specific product for a specific surface, leave it out with a note and the team will use it.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning? 03
No. Most of our clients are at work while we clean. Doorman handoff, lockbox, or a smart-lock code all work - just add access instructions in your booking notes. We coordinate with front desks and follow building rules so you do not have to. See preparing for your cleaning for a quick pre-visit rundown.
Can I book same-day cleaning in New York City? 04
Often, yes - it depends on that day's schedule and your location. Guests landing tonight? Book online or call (646) 825-3550 and we will confirm the earliest available team. Learn more on our same-day cleaning page. Booking a day or two ahead always gives you the most time options.
How does move-out cleaning work? 05
Your home should be empty, or close to it, so we can reach inside cabinets, the oven, the fridge, and every corner a landlord checks at the walkthrough. Tell us about elevator reservations or access rules when you book. Follow our move-out cleaning checklist to see the full scope - and remember, code MOVE30 saves $30 on any move-in or move-out cleaning.
Can you sanitize after someone in the house was sick? 06
Yes. After a cold or flu runs through the household, we focus on high-touch surfaces: door handles, switches, faucets, remotes, and bathroom fixtures - in line with everyday CDC hygiene guidance. That is exactly what we did for Michelle H. in Bay Ridge after the flu hit her whole family. Add a note at booking and we will prioritize disinfection.
What if I am not happy with the clean? 07
Tell us within 24 hours and we will come back and re-clean the areas in question at no charge. That is our promise on every visit, in every borough. Read the full satisfaction guarantee for how it works.

"My college-aged daughter was coming home for the holidays, and her room had become a storage space that was totally unusable. This house cleaning service not only cleared out the clutter but gave her room a thorough deep cleaning so it was ready for her. She was so happy to have a fresh, clean, and welcoming space to come back to."

"My new partner was moving in, and I wanted the apartment to feel like a fresh start for both of us. I got a deep clean from this house cleaning service, and they did an incredible job, paying attention to details I would have missed, like ceiling fans and baseboards. The result was a stunning, pristine home where we could begin our new chapter."
