The Checklist Our Cleaners Work From
Every crew follows the same room-by-room list, so a clean in Riverdale matches a clean in Bay Ridge. Use the tabs to see how a routine visit, a deep clean, and a move-in/out clean differ.

Add-Ons for Any Visit
The standard checklist covers the whole apartment. These four jobs take extra time, so they are priced separately and added when you book.
Inside of the Fridge
We pull the shelves, crisper drawers, and door racks, wash them in the sink, and wipe the walls and gaskets before putting everything back.
Inside of the Oven
Racks come out and soak while we work the carbonized grease off the floor, walls, and inner door glass of the oven.
Windows (Glass Only)
Inside panes squeegeed clean, which makes a bigger difference than you would expect in a city apartment that faces the street.
Windows (Glass + Tracks)
The glass plus the tracks, sills, and frames, where soot and grit from the avenue collect. Vacuumed first, then scrubbed.
Tell us which add-ons you want in the quote form and they will show up as line items on your price, no surprises on the day.
Your Apartment, Your Priorities
The tables above are our baseline for every standard visit. Some homes need more than that: a stovetop that has cooked a thousand dinners, radiator covers full of winter dust, or a shower door with hard-water spots that will not budge. Tell us about those spots when you book and your cleaner will plan the visit around them.
You can also add extras like the inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge or interior windows to any appointment. Not sure what your place needs? Describe it in the booking notes and we'll point you to the right service.
