Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Services in NYC?
New York City living doesn't leave much room for keeping up with a clean home. Between long commutes, demanding workdays, and everything else pulling at your time, thorough cleaning is often the first thing that falls behind — and the hardest to catch up on.
That's where First Up Cleaning Services comes in. Since 2015, we've been helping NYC homeowners, apartment renters, landlords, and busy professionals maintain spotless homes without the burden of doing it themselves. Our certified, background-checked, and fully insured cleaners go well beyond surface tidying — protecting your furniture and fixtures, reaching the areas others miss, and delivering consistent results you can count on every visit.
Need a one-time deep clean? Recurring house cleaning? Apartment cleaning, or specialized services like move-in, or move-out cleaning? Our team builds every visit around your home's specific needs. We bring our own professional-grade and eco-friendly supplies, so all you need to do is open the door.
New customers receive 15% off their first booking. Senior customers receive a 20% discount on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday visits.
House & Apartment Cleaning Services in New York City
From routine upkeep to deep restoration, First Up Cleaning Services offers a full range of residential cleaning solutions for NYC homes and apartments — certified, insured, and tailored to your schedule.
Deep Cleaning Services
Our deep cleaning goes beyond the surface — tackling built-up grime, sanitizing high-touch areas, and restoring every room from top to bottom. Ideal for first-time clients, seasonal resets, or any home that needs a thorough, comprehensive refresh.
Maid Services
Regular, recurring cleaning keeps your home consistently spotless without the effort. Our background-checked maids handle dusting, vacuuming, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, and light tidying on a schedule that works for you — weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning
Moving is demanding enough without worrying about the cleaning. First Up handles thorough move-in cleaning service and move-out cleaning for NYC apartments and homes — so you leave the old place spotless and arrive to a fresh, clean start.
Post-Remodel Cleaning
A finished renovation shouldn't mean a dusty one. Once the contractors clear out, we handle what's left behind — sawdust, drywall dust, paint residue, and general construction grime across walls, floors, fixtures, and every surface in between. Priced per room, quoted before we start.
Larger-scale renovation or new construction? Our Specialty Services team handles full post-construction cleanup.
*These services can be booked individually and added to any existing residential cleaning appointment.
One-Time Cleaning Services in NYC
Sometimes you don't need a recurring schedule — you just need your home cleaned thoroughly, once, by professionals you can trust. If you're preparing for a special occasion, recovering from a busy stretch, hosting guests, settling into a new home, or simply overdue for a deep reset, First Up Cleaning Services delivers a complete, top-to-bottom one-time cleaning for NYC homes and apartments with no contracts and no ongoing commitment required.
Our one-time cleaning service is one of our most requested offerings — and it's easy to see why. You get the full attention of a professional, dedicated cleaning team for a single visit, with every room covered from ceiling fixtures to baseboards. We follow a detailed cleaning checklist and don't leave until the job is done right.
One-time cleaning is also the perfect starting point for new clients who want to experience First Up before committing to a recurring plan. Book once, see the results, and decide from there — no pressure, no obligation.

NYC Apartment Cleaners You Can Trust
New York City apartments come in every shape and size — studios in the Bronx, pre-war co-ops on the Upper East Side, brownstone floor-throughs in Brooklyn, high-rises in Queens — and every one of them deserves the same thorough, reliable clean. First Up Cleaning Services is one of the most trusted apartment cleaners NYC has — background-checked, fully insured, and the choice for renters, homeowners, and landlords across every borough who want consistent, professional results visit after visit. Call it apartment cleaning or apt cleaning — it's the same thorough service, tailored to your building, your schedule, and your space.
We Know How NYC Buildings Work
Every NYC building is different — doorman lobbies, freight-elevator-only service entrances, walk-ups with no elevator at all, and buildings that require a Certificate of Insurance before we can get past the front desk. Most COIs take 24 to 48 hours to issue, so just give us your building name when you book and we'll have it started the same day. Whatever access your building requires, we handle the coordination — see our full guide on preparing for your cleaning visit for exactly how it works for buildings like yours.
From Studio to Brownstone
Whether it's a studio, a walk-up apt, a full-floor pre-war co-op, a condo, or a unit forty stories up, the layout changes what a thorough clean actually requires — and our cleaners know the difference. Tight galley kitchens, narrow railroad hallways, walk-in closets that double as storage — we work with the space you actually have, not a generic checklist built for a house.
Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly — Find Your Rhythm
If you've got kids, pets, or a lot of foot traffic through the apartment, weekly keeps things from piling up between visits. Living alone or mostly out of the apartment during the week often makes biweekly the better fit — enough upkeep without paying for more than you need. Monthly works well as a deeper reset between your own regular tidying. Not sure which fits? Tell us how the apartment actually gets used and we'll help you land on the right schedule. Plans change — adjusting your schedule later is simple, just let us know.
What's Included in Your Apartment Cleaning
We treat your apartment like the personal space it is — careful with your belongings, respectful of your home, every visit. Every visit is scoped to your home — tell us the rooms and the level of clean each one needs, and we'll quote it upfront. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas: dusted, vacuumed, mopped, wiped down, and sanitized throughout. Need standard in most rooms but a deep clean in the kitchen after a long week? That's a normal request, not a special one.
Apartment Add-Ons
Refrigerator interior, oven interior, interior window washing — just let us know when you book and we'll add them to your checklist. These go beyond a standard or deep visit, so they're priced as add-ons rather than built in automatically. Tip: if you're booking fridge or oven cleaning, emptying the space beforehand helps us work faster — see our full prep guide for more.
Not sure which plan fits your apartment and your budget? Our customer care team will help you land on the right one.
Emergency Cleaning Services in NYC
When life throws an unexpected situation at your home — a last-minute showing, an unplanned visit from family, a post-event mess, or a sudden move-out deadline — First Up Cleaning Services is ready to respond. Our emergency cleaning service connects you with a certified, fully equipped cleaning team on short notice, so your NYC home or apartment is presentable, clean, and ready when you need it most.
We understand that emergencies don't follow a schedule. That's why our customer care team is available to take urgent bookings and dispatch cleaners as quickly as possible across New York City. Whether you need a rapid surface clean, a full emergency deep clean, an emergency maid service for last-minute upkeep, or same-day cleaning before a move-out deadline — we show up prepared and get straight to work.
No long waits, no complicated booking process. Call us directly or book online, tell us what you need and when, and we'll handle the rest. First Up is the trusted emergency cleaning solution for NYC homeowners, renters, and landlords — and we're ready when you are.

Finding a maid service or housekeeping service in New York City that you can genuinely trust — one that shows up on time, cleans thoroughly, respects your home, and delivers consistent results every single visit — isn't always easy. At First Up Cleaning Services, that's exactly the standard we hold ourselves to.
Every member of our maid and housekeeping services team is background-checked, fully insured, and certified through recognized industry organizations including IJCSA, ISSA, IEHA, and OSHA. We don't cut corners or rush through rooms — we stay until the job meets our standard, which means it will meet yours.

Home Organization Services in NYC
Every cleaning visit includes light straightening as we go — but real organization goes deeper. Closets, cabinets, and living spaces arranged so everything actually has a place to live. A clean home and an organized home are two different things — and both matter. First Up Cleaning Services offers professional home organization for NYC apartments and homes, helping you reclaim your space, reduce clutter, and create a living environment that feels as good as it looks.
New York City apartments present unique organization challenges — limited space, multi-use rooms, and the natural accumulation of life in a compact home. Our organization team works with what you already have, arranging rooms and living areas to create order, flow, and a sense of calm. We focus on the big picture — how your space looks, feels, and functions — rather than sorting through individual belongings.
What our home organization service covers:
🗂️ Closet areas — arranging and grouping items to maximize space and accessibility
🍳 Kitchen areas — arranging countertops, cabinets, and pantry areas for better flow
🛋️ Living areas — arranging surfaces, shelving units, and common spaces for a neat, orderly feel
🖥️ Home office areas — arranging desk areas and workspaces for better function and focus
🛏️ Bedrooms — arranging surface items and personal spaces for a cleaner, calmer environment
Home organization focuses on room-level arrangement and does not include sorting personal items, handling individual clothing or pantry goods, moving heavy furniture, or laundry services. Looking for deeper decluttering, sorting, or a full organizing system? That's Professional Organizing — a separate, consultation-based service on our Specialty Services page.
Home organization can be booked as a standalone service or added to any existing cleaning appointment. Book online or contact our customer care team directly for pricing and availability.
Disinfection & Viral Protection Services in NYC
Some situations call for more than a standard clean. If you're dealing with a recent illness in the home, preparing a space for vulnerable family members, recovering from a pest treatment, or simply want the highest level of sanitation available — First Up Cleaning Services provides professional disinfection and viral protection treatments for NYC homes and apartments.
Our disinfection service uses hospital-grade cleaning agents and EPA-registered disinfectants that eliminate up to 99.9% of harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens on contact. Treatments are applied to all high-touch surfaces, walls, floors, and fixtures — leaving your home not just visibly clean but genuinely sanitized at a microbial level.
For advanced protection, we also offer UVC light technology — a proven method for eliminating viral and bacterial activity in rooms and enclosed spaces without the use of chemicals. This makes it ideal for households with allergies, sensitivities, or young children.
Our disinfection treatments are available as a standalone service or as an add-on to any residential cleaning visit. Learn more on our specialty services page or call us directly at (718) 340-3323 or (516) 200-6345 to book — our customer care team will walk you through everything.
Disinfection Service highlights:
🦠 Hospital-grade disinfectants — EPA-registered, proven effective against viruses and bacteria
💡 UVC light technology — chemical-free viral elimination for sensitive households
🏠 Full room coverage — high-touch surfaces, walls, floors, and fixtures treated thoroughly
✅ 99.9% pathogen elimination — verified results on contact
🔄 Standalone or add-on — flexible booking to suit your needs
Affordable Home Cleaning Services NYC
Professional home cleaning in New York City shouldn't feel like a luxury — and at First Up Cleaning Services, it isn't. Our residential cleaning rates are priced below the NYC market average, giving you certified, thorough cleaning without the premium price tag.
There's an important distinction between affordable and cheap. Affordable means high-quality service at a fair price. Cheap means cutting corners. We don't cut corners — every home we clean receives the same level of care and attention regardless of the service tier you choose.
Some clients ask us directly: "Are there cheap cleaning services in NYC that are actually good?" The honest answer is that price alone doesn't determine quality — the company behind the service does.

Our pricing is transparent, customized to your home, and always below the NYC market average. When you request a quote, our customer care team walks you through every option — no hidden fees, no surprises. Use our online booking form or visit our deals and promos page for current offers.

Yes — but the key is understanding the difference between affordable and cheap. Affordable means high-quality service at a fair price. Cheap often means cut corners, unreliable cleaners, and inconsistent results. First Up Cleaning Services offers professional, certified cleaning at below-market NYC rates — without sacrificing quality or consistency. We're also listed on Houzz, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, and Angie's List, so you can verify our reputation independently before booking.
No — many of our clients provide access instructions and aren't home during their cleaning visit. Our cleaners are thoroughly background-checked, bonded, and insured, so you can feel confident leaving them to work independently. If it's your first visit, we recommend reviewing our guide on how to prepare for your cleaning visit for tips on access and preparation.
Yes — our cleaners arrive fully equipped with professional-grade cleaning supplies and equipment. If you prefer eco-friendly or green cleaning products, simply let us know when you book — this is available as an add-on service at an additional charge.
Standard cleaning is upkeep and maintenance — ideal for homes that have been professionally cleaned within the last 30–60 days. Think of standard as keeping a clean home clean, and deep cleaning as the reset it needs when life got in the way. Standard covers dusting, wiping, disinfecting touch surfaces, and general tidying throughout. Deep cleaning — sometimes called deep housecleaning — is a more thorough restoration process recommended when professional cleaning hasn't been performed in 60 days or longer. It includes everything in standard cleaning plus under-bed cleaning, ceiling fan dusting, furniture wiping, blind cleaning, inside range hood cleaning, and mildew treatment. Every visit is scoped to your home — tell us the rooms and the level of clean each one needs, and we'll quote it upfront. Many customers mix the two: a deep clean for the kitchen, standard for the rest. View our complete service descriptions for the full breakdown.
