First Up Cleaning Services has provided OSHA-certified, background-checked Manhattan cleaning services since 2015 — house cleaning services, apartment cleaning, and maid service for homes, plus office cleaning and janitorial service for businesses — serving neighborhoods from Inwood to the Financial District with upfront pricing and no hidden fees.
A Manhattan Cleaning Company for Apartments and Offices
Manhattan apartments and offices don't get a day off — and neither does the dust, the foot traffic, or the wear that comes with city living. A cleaning service in Manhattan has to keep up, which is why First Up Cleaning Services brings the same OSHA-certified process to a studio in Inwood as we do to an office near the Financial District: a documented room-by-room checklist, trained technicians, and our own supplies on every visit.
Whether you need an apartment cleaning services for your home or a dedicated commercial cleaning team for your business, our local Manhattan cleaners hold to the same standard — only the scope changes.
Apartment Cleaning & Maid Service for Every Manhattan Home
From a studio in Murray Hill to a townhouse in the West Village, Manhattan apartments take a beating — elevators, foot traffic, and city dust don't pause for anyone's schedule. If you're searching for maid service near me in Manhattan, check one thing first: whether the team can work within your building. Co-op, condo, pre-war walk-up, or doorman high-rise, we work to your building's rules, and we can provide a Certificate of Insurance when your board asks for one. From general cleaning to specialized deep cleans, our Manhattan maids and house cleaners keep your space ready with:
- Standard cleaning — kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and surfaces, top to bottom
- Recurring maid service — weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and whoever arrives is trained to the same documented checklist
- Deep cleaning — under beds, ceiling fans, baseboards, blinds dusted, and detailed grout and tile scrubbing, plus behind and around appliances where accessible — for guests, holidays, or seasonal resets
- Oven, fridge & microwave interiors — available as an add-on to any standard or deep clean
- Move-in/move-out cleaning — a detailed clean for empty units, with the inside of every cabinet, drawer, and closet wiped out and the oven and fridge wiped if they're left behind — popular with residents relocating in and out of Morningside Heights and Alphabet City
Need it sooner? Same-day cleaning is available across Manhattan, subject to availability — call ahead to check.

Every Manhattan Neighborhood We Serve

Lower Manhattan
Tribeca, SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, Financial District, Battery Park City, Lower East Side, East Village, Alphabet City, Greenwich Village, West Village, Meatpacking District

What Manhattan Clients Are Saying

Ella Pickett

"I recently used this cleaning crew for a move-in cleaning of my new apartment and was very happy with the results. The cleaners were prompt, professional, and efficient, and everything looked brand new when they were done. Highly recommend!"
Do you offer move-in or move-out cleaning in Manhattan?
Yes. First Up Cleaning Services provides move-in and move-out cleaning across Manhattan, including Morningside Heights, Alphabet City, and Roosevelt Island. We wipe out the inside of every empty cabinet, drawer, and closet, and we wipe the inside of the oven and fridge if they're left in the unit. Built-up grime on appliances or walls can be added as an extra service.
Can I set up biweekly cleaning for my Upper East Side apartment?
Yes. Recurring maid service is available weekly, biweekly, or monthly on the Upper East Side and throughout Manhattan. Every technician is trained to the same documented checklist, so each visit meets the same standard, and recurring plans cost less per visit than one-time cleanings.
Do you clean apartments in high-rise, doorman, co-op, or condo buildings?
Yes. First Up Cleaning Services regularly works in high-rise, doorman, co-op, and condo buildings across Manhattan and coordinates with building management or the front desk ahead of your appointment. If your board requires a Certificate of Insurance, we request one through our insurance carrier, which typically takes 24–48 hours, so ask when you book. For access, you can use a doorman authorization, a smart-lock or lockbox code, or have your super or management hold the key; a signed key authorization is also accepted.
How do you handle parking or loading for commercial jobs in Manhattan?
Our commercial teams plan ahead for Manhattan's parking and loading restrictions, scheduling arrival times around your building's loading dock or freight elevator access — so service runs smoothly without disrupting your block.
Do you clean walk-up apartments without an elevator?
Yes. Many Manhattan apartments — especially in the Lower East Side and East Village — are walk-ups, and our teams are equipped to handle multi-flight buildings as part of any standard, recurring, or move-in/move-out cleaning.
Do you offer eco-friendly or green cleaning in Manhattan?
Yes. Eco-friendly products are available on request for any Manhattan cleaning — particularly useful in smaller apartments with limited ventilation, or for households with kids, pets, or allergy concerns.
