I was completely overwhelmed preparing for my in-laws' first visit to our new apartment. The team arrived on time and did a phenomenal job, making our home look like a showroom. I can actually relax now, and I've already signed up for their biweekly cleaning service to keep it this way.Biweekly · Upper West Side

One cleaning turns into every other week.
Jessica on the Upper West Side called us in a panic. Her in-laws were flying in for their first visit to her new apartment, and between work and unpacked boxes, the place was nowhere near ready. Our team arrived on time, worked room by room, and by the end of the day her home looked like a showroom. She told us she could finally relax and enjoy the visit.
Here is the part that happens over and over: after the in-laws left, Jessica did not want to go back to how things were. She signed up for our biweekly cleaning service, and now her apartment stays guest-ready without her lifting a finger. Most of our biweekly clients in NYC start exactly this way. One cleaning for a big moment, then a simple decision to keep it that clean all the time.
Biweekly cleaning service is our most popular schedule in New York City for a reason. Every two weeks, the same cleaner or team comes to your home on the same day and time slot. Two weeks is short enough that dust, bathroom buildup, and kitchen grease never get ahead of you, and long enough that it costs a lot less than weekly service. If you are weighing the options, our guide on weekly vs biweekly cleaning breaks down which schedule fits which kind of home.
We were hosting Thanksgiving for 15 people and our kitchen was a disaster zone. The cleaning crew was incredibly efficient and left every single surface spotless and sanitized. I'm so grateful for their help, and we're keeping the momentum going with their biweekly cleaning service.Biweekly · Park Slope
We hired this service for a deep clean right before my due date, which was incredibly stressful. They took care of everything, from scrubbing the nursery to sanitizing the bathrooms, leaving the house completely safe and serene. Having a reliable biweekly cleaning service now is a lifesaver for any new mom.Biweekly · SoHo

Why every other week
The schedule that fits NYC life.
Two weeks is the sweet spot for most New York apartments. Radiator dust in pre-war buildings, street soot near busy avenues, pet hair, subway grime tracked in on shoes — it all builds on a fairly predictable clock. A biweekly cleaning catches it before you ever notice it.
Homes with kids, shedding pets, or heavy cooking sometimes do better on weekly service, and low-traffic homes can stretch to monthly. Our guides on how often to clean an NYC apartment and choosing a recurring cleaning schedule walk through it honestly. And if you are comparing against booking cleanings one at a time, read one-time vs recurring cleaning — the recurring discount usually settles it.
You do not need to be home. Most clients leave a key with the doorman or use a lockbox — see do you need to be home for cleaning. First time having cleaners in? Here is how to prepare for a house cleaning.

Common questions
Biweekly cleaning questions.
What does biweekly cleaning mean?
A cleaner comes to your home once every two weeks, on the same day and time slot. It is the most popular recurring schedule in NYC because it keeps a home consistently clean without the cost of weekly service.
How much does biweekly cleaning cost in NYC?
Pricing is based on home size and bathroom count, with a discount compared to one-time cleaning. See biweekly cleaning cost NYC for typical ranges, or get your exact price in about a minute through online booking.
Do I get the same cleaner every visit?
Yes, whenever scheduling allows. Your team learns your layout, your products, your pets, and your building rules, so you are not re-explaining things every two weeks.
Do I need a deep cleaning first?
If your home has not been professionally cleaned in the last few months, starting with a deep cleaning resets the baseline so biweekly visits stay quick and consistent. If your place is already in good shape, you can start with a standard cleaning.
Do I have to be home for the cleaning?
No. Most biweekly clients are at work during their visit. Leave a key with your doorman, use a lockbox, or add access instructions to your booking notes. More in do you need to be home for cleaning.
