House Cleaning for Brooklyn Brownstones, Row Houses, and Two-Family Homes
A Brooklyn house is rarely just one floor of rooms. It is a parlor level with twelve-foot ceilings and plaster medallions, a garden level that opens to the yard, two or three bedroom floors stacked above, and a cellar with the boiler and the laundry. Cleaning it well means carrying equipment up and down a narrow staircase all day and knowing which surface on each floor wants which product. That is the job we show up for.
We clean brownstones in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Fort Greene, and Park Slope, limestone and brick row houses in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge, wood-frame Victorians in Flatbush, and attached houses in Windsor Terrace. Many of them are two-family homes with a rental unit on the garden level, and we can clean the owner's floors, the tenant's unit, or both on the same visit.
Old houses have old details, and we treat them accordingly. Original heart-pine floors get a damp mop, never a wet one. Pocket doors, wainscoting, and stair spindles get dusted by hand. Cast-iron radiators get wiped down so they stop shedding onto the floor every time the heat kicks on. Marble mantels and tin ceilings are cleaned with products that will not etch or dull them.
The practical side is handled too. Our cleaners plan around alternate-side parking on your block so no one is circling for a spot at the start of a visit. If you have an under-stoop entrance, a keypad, or a neighbor who holds a key, we work with whatever access setup you already have. Pets are welcome, and we are happy to keep a door closed or a gate latched.
House cleaning in Brooklyn is priced by the size of the home, not by the hour. A standard clean for a small one- or two-bedroom house runs $150 to $190, a medium three-bedroom $190 to $250, and a large three- or four-bedroom home $250 to $320, with deep cleaning options for a heavier first pass. Set a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule and the price per visit comes down.

House Cleaning Schedules That Fit Brooklyn Homes
1Weekly for Full Houses
Three floors, two kids, and a dog is a lot of square footage to keep up with. A weekly visit means the stairs, bathrooms, and kitchen never fall behind.
2Every Two Weeks
The most common choice for Brooklyn homeowners. Enough to keep an entire brownstone presentable without a cleaner in the house every week.
3Monthly Top-to-Bottom
For households that handle the day-to-day and want a professional pass on floors, fixtures, and dust once a month.
4Rental Unit Turnover
Own a two-family home? We clean the garden apartment between tenants so it shows well and rents fast.
Put Your Brooklyn House on a Schedule
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Choose once and the whole house stays clean.

The rhythm most New York apartments settle into
10% OFFMonthly
A reset for studios, one-bedrooms, and tidy solo households
Quarterly

Nobody in this city has spare hours for scrubbing. Between the commute, late nights at work, and weekends that fill up on their own, the apartment gets pushed down the list. A standing visit takes it off the list entirely. Choose weekly, every other week, or monthly, and we hold the slot for you. Traveling or hosting on a different day? Move the visit with a day's notice at no charge.

Post-Construction Cleaning BrooklynBrooklyn House Cleaning Questions
Yes. Book the owner's floors and the rental unit together, or set them on separate schedules. We just need to know the access arrangement for each unit.
With a barely damp microfiber mop and a floor-safe cleaner, never a soaking wet one. Standing water is what damages old wood, so we avoid it entirely.
Finished basements and laundry areas are included when you add them to the booking. Unfinished cellars with exposed mechanicals are generally outside scope, but ask and we will tell you what we can do.
That is our problem, not yours. We check alternate-side schedules for your block and plan arrivals accordingly. Driveway or curb cut access is appreciated but never required.
Plan on most of a day for the first visit to a full-height brownstone, less for a smaller row house. Once we know the home, recurring visits move faster. We give a time estimate with every quote.
Standard cleans start at $150 for a small house and $250 for a large three- or four-bedroom home. Deep cleaning starts at $350. Your quote is based on bedrooms and bathrooms, and recurring service is discounted.
