What monthly clients say

Rated 4.9 by clients on a monthly plan.

These are clients who started with one cleaning and moved to a monthly cleaning service because it kept working.

★★★★★
I was completely overwhelmed returning from a long work trip to an apartment that looked like a disaster zone. The team came in and did an incredible job, tackling everything from the dusty blinds to the grimy kitchen, and now my home feels like a sanctuary again. I've already signed up for their monthly cleaning service.

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.

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.

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.

The checklist

What monthly cleaning includes.

Every monthly visit follows our full standard cleaning checklist. Because a month passes between visits, we build in extra time for dust and buildup. See the full detail in what standard cleaning includes.

Kitchen

  • Counters and backsplash wiped
  • Stovetop scrubbed and degreased
  • Appliance exteriors polished
  • Sink scrubbed and shined
  • Cabinet fronts wiped
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

Bathrooms

  • Tub, shower, and tiles scrubbed
  • Toilet cleaned inside and out
  • Sink, counter, and mirror cleaned
  • Fixtures polished

Bedrooms & living areas

Want more? Add inside the oven, inside the fridge, or inside windows to any visit. If your home needs a bigger reset first, we recommend starting with a deep cleaning — here's how the two compare.

I just gave birth and was dreading coming home to a cluttered and dusty apartment with a newborn.

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.

I was on bed rest during my pregnancy and couldn't keep up with the cleaning, which was driving me crazy. The cleaners gave the entire house a nesting clean that left it feeling incredibly fresh and safe for my baby. I'm keeping their monthly cleaning service on rotation so I never have to worry about it again.

We were preparing to list our apartment for sale and needed it to look flawless for the real estate photos and showings. The team cleaned every nook and cranny, from the oven to the baseboards, and the place was absolutely gleaming. I'm keeping the monthly cleaning service even after we move.

My college-aged daughter's apartment was in a terrible state, and I was horrified at the thought of seeing it. The cleaners worked a miracle, transforming her dorm-like chaos into a clean and organized home. I've even arranged a monthly cleaning service for her so she can keep it up!

What does a monthly cleaning service in NYC include?

Each monthly visit covers the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas.

Add-ons like inside the oven, inside the fridge, and inside windows can be added to any visit. See what standard cleaning includes for the full list.

Is monthly cleaning enough for an NYC apartment?

Monthly works well if you keep up with light tidying between visits, live alone or with one other person, or travel often. Homes with kids, pets, or heavy cooking usually do better with weekly or biweekly service. Our guide on how often to clean an NYC apartment can help you decide.
