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.
Whether you need a one-time deep clean, recurring house cleaning, apartment cleaning, or specialized services like move-in and 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
Starting At $129 Per Visit
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
Starting At $9 Per Service
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
Starting At $59 Per Visit
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-Construction Cleaning
Starting At $39 Per Room
Construction and renovation leave behind dust, debris, and residue that standard cleaning simply can't handle. Our post-construction cleaning team removes it all — walls, floors, fixtures, and surfaces — so your newly renovated space is move-in ready.
*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. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion, recovering from a busy stretch, hosting guests, 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.

Home Organization Services in NYC
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.
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. Whether 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.

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.
