These are clients who started with one cleaning and moved to a monthly cleaning service because it kept working.
We were hosting my in-laws from out of town for the first time and the apartment was in no shape to receive guests. The crew was so thorough and efficient; they scrubbed every corner and made the place sparkle, which took all the stress off my shoulders. This monthly cleaning service is a lifesaver for busy parents.Monthly plan · Park Slope
My elderly parents are unable to clean their home anymore and it was getting to be a real health concern. The cleaners were so respectful and kind, and they did a deep clean that made the house feel safe and bright again. We've signed them up for a monthly cleaning service so they live in a clean, comfortable environment.Monthly plan · Astoria

Why monthly works
One good clean, once a month.
Last fall, a client on the Upper West Side came home from a three-week work trip to dusty blinds, a grimy stove, and a bathroom she did not want to look at. She booked one cleaning to reset the apartment. Then she asked us a simple question: can you just come back every month so it never gets like this again? That is what our monthly cleaning service in NYC does. It gives your home a reset on a schedule, so mess never gets a head start.
Monthly service fits a lot of New York lives. People who travel for work. Couples without kids or pets. Anyone who keeps up with light tidying but wants a pro to handle the scrubbing, the floors, and the bathroom once a month. If you are not sure which schedule fits your home, our guide on how often to clean an NYC apartment breaks it down, and you can compare plans in one-time vs recurring cleaning.
Whenever scheduling allows, we send the same cleaner or team every month. They learn your apartment, your building's access rules, and your preferences, so you never have to re-explain anything.

Flat monthly pricing The price you see is the price you pay
Simple pricing
Monthly cleaning cost in NYC.
Monthly cleaning is priced flat by home size, and it is discounted compared to one-time cleaning. No hourly guessing, no surprise charges at the door. Get your exact number in about two minutes through online booking, or see the full breakdown on our pricing page and in our monthly cleaning cost guide.
Not sure monthly is the right rhythm? Homes with kids, pets, or lots of cooking usually do better on a biweekly or weekly plan, since a month gives dust and grime more time to build. Our guides on weekly vs biweekly cleaning and choosing a recurring cleaning schedule can help you pick. You can switch plans anytime with one text.
Most monthly clients are not home during their visit. We handle doorman handoffs, lockboxes, and building access notes — here's what to know about being home during a cleaning and how to prepare for your first visit.
