Why a Standard Clean Falls Short in NYC
Old buildings, dense living and city air leave buildup where a weekly wipe never reaches. Here's what we see, and what the Reset does about it.
Kitchens in pre-war buildings
- Baked-on grease on oven racks and burner grates. We take them out and degrease them.
- Old exhaust vents let cooking oil settle around the range. We clean under the stove and fridge as far as our tools reach.
- Spills on every fridge shelf. We empty it, wash the shelves and drawers, and put everything back.
Windowless, humid bathrooms
- Half the bathrooms in NYC have no window, so mildew grows in the grout. We scrub it with a grout brush.
- Mildew on the caulk lines and corners. We treat it.
- Mineral deposits on shower doors and the tub surround. We scrub them off.
Dust and scuffs you stop seeing
- City dust on baseboards. We wipe them room by room.
- Up high: ceiling fan blades and door tops. We dust them.
- Scuffs and marks on the walls. We spot-clean them.

Real NYC Deep Cleans

"Wow. This is all I can say about Maid Marines. They really saved me when I was in a bind. I had my girlfriend's parents take an impromptu trip to visit and I needed a deep clean quick. Within a day, I got an estimate, made a reservation, and got a deep clean with the friendliest team (of two) ever. They were extremely pleasant as they assured me that the place would be spotless by the time I came back from the gym, and they were right!"
"Not sure where to start with Maid Marines, but overall their service can be summed up in one word, exceptional. … I was glad I didn't have to provide any cleaning products for them. The floor was left spotless, and even the hard to reach spots were dusted off. Everything was finished under 3 hours, including all the dirty stains in the kitchen, including my fridge AND microwave."
"I have never used a cleaning service before but I had thrown a party for a friend and the aftermath was way more than I expected so I decided to call Maid Marines and I'm so glad I did. They responded quickly and arrived on time and with no judgement about the mess that was made. … the bathrooms were atrocious but everything was nice and tidy after they cleaned."
"I decided to bite the bullet and hire a house cleaning service since my parents were coming into town from Jamaica and my place was a mess. … They did a wonderful job on our home. I will definitely use them again!!"
"The apartment had not had a deep cleaning for a long time and after some minor construction, it was fairly filthy, but our cleaners showed up and did an amazing job. Highly recommend their services."
"… did a fantastic job deep cleaning my studio apartment. I don't think my bathroom, kitchen, and floors have been this clean previously."

When Deep Cleaning Is the Right Call
Not every cleaning appointment needs to be a deep clean, but there are moments where nothing else will do. If you're booking professional cleaning for the first time, start with a deep clean. It sets a baseline that's much easier (and cheaper) to keep up with recurring standard service. If you've been doing your own cleaning for years and things have slowly slipped, a deep clean is the reset button. Seasonal deep cleans, especially in spring and fall, go after the buildup in the grout, along the baseboards, and under the furniture that's light enough for a crew to shift and set back.
Many of our clients across the Upper East Side (6,000+ cleans), Gramercy and Flatiron (3,000+ cleans), and Williamsburg (nearly 900 cleans) use a hybrid schedule: a deep clean every quarter, with bi-weekly standard cleaning in between. The deep clean handles the long-term buildup. The standard cleans keep up with the day-to-day.
Keep It That Way (and Save up to 20%)
Most deep clean clients choose bi-weekly service to keep it that way. Same flat-rate pricing, a dedicated team, no hidden fees and no contracts.
- 1One Deep Clean Reset brings the whole home up to standard.
- 2Bi-weekly standard cleans, 15% off, keep it there.

Deep Cleaning FAQs
What's the difference between deep cleaning and standard cleaning?
A standard clean covers all visible surfaces — dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen and bathroom wipe-downs — 85 points in all. A deep clean is the same home given more than twice the hours, plus 15 more points: inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, burner grates, the microwave turntable, tile grout scrubbing, mildew treatment on caulk lines, baseboard detail, ceiling fan blades, door tops, and wall spot-cleaning. That's 100 points. Inside your cabinets and interior windows are add-ons you pick at booking — they are not part of a deep clean.
How often should I get a deep cleaning in NYC?
We recommend a deep clean every 3-6 months, depending on your lifestyle. NYC apartments accumulate grime faster than most — city dust, cooking residue, and bathroom humidity all contribute. Many clients book a deep clean seasonally and maintain with recurring standard cleans in between. If you've never had a professional cleaning, we strongly recommend starting with a deep clean.
Is the inside of my cabinets included in a deep cleaning?
No — inside cabinets and drawers is an add-on you can pick when you book, and you'll see the price before you pay anything. On a lived-in home the cabinets are full, so how long the job takes depends entirely on what's in them, and we'd rather price that honestly than guess. On a move-in or move-out clean the cabinets are empty, so inside them is included at no extra charge. The same goes for the freezer: it's part of a move-in or move-out clean, not a deep clean.
