Apartment cleaning: a practical guide

Apartments have their own rhythm: smaller footprints, shared buildings, and sometimes a landlord with expectations. Here is what a good apartment clean covers.

What makes apartments different

• Every surface counts - less square footage means dust and clutter show faster.
• Kitchens and bathrooms do the heavy lifting - they set how clean the whole place feels.
• Building rules - elevators, parking, and quiet hours can shape the timing.
• Lease deadlines - move-in and move-out cleans often run on a tight clock.

What we clean

• Kitchen: counters, stovetop, sink, outside of appliances, floors
• Bathroom: tub, shower, toilet, mirrors, tiles
• Living areas and bedrooms: dusting, surfaces, floors
• High-touch spots: switches, handles, and door frames

One-time or recurring

A busy studio can do great with a monthly clean; a shared two-bedroom often wants bi-weekly. If you are cleaning for a move, a single deep clean is usually the answer.

Getting an accurate estimate

Tell us the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it is furnished, and if it is a move-related clean. A few photos help us quote it right the first time.
