Add-ons
Extras You Can Add to Any Clean
Want to go beyond the standard checklist? Add any of these to your service when you book.
Inside of the Fridge
Shelves, drawers, and door bins emptied, washed, and wiped down so the inside is as clean as the outside.
Inside of the Oven
Racks, glass, and interior surfaces degreased to cut through baked-on grime and buildup.
Windows (Glass Only)
Interior window glass cleaned streak-free to let more light into every room.
Windows (Glass + Tracks)
Everything in the glass-only service, plus window tracks and sills vacuumed and scrubbed of dirt and debris.
Just mention which extras you'd like when you request your quote and we'll build them into your visit.
Every Home is Different
While this checklist covers our standard tasks, we understand that every home has unique needs — a studio where every surface does double duty, cast-iron radiators that collect dust all winter, window sills coated in city grime, an entryway that catches slush off the PATH platform. Have specific areas you want us to focus on? Just let us know when you book.
We're flexible and always happy to customize our service to make sure you're completely satisfied with every clean.
Reviews
What Our Customers Say
“The checklist approach is what sold me. Knowing exactly what gets cleaned every visit—and seeing it actually happen—gives me complete confidence. No guessing, just consistent results.”
Lorena B.
Hamilton Park, Jersey City
“I appreciate the transparency. The checklist shows exactly what's included, and they follow through on every item. Baseboards, light switches, the floor-to-ceiling window sills, all of it. Every single time.”
Ezra T.
Newport, Jersey City
“Other services would skip things randomly. With Jersey City Cleaning Service, the checklist means nothing gets missed. Our restored rowhouse is consistently clean in every room, every visit.”
Maribel Q.
Bergen-Lafayette, Jersey City
“The detailed checklist made it easy to compare services. They cover more than competitors at similar prices. And they actually do everything on the list, even in a railroad apartment with no natural light in the middle rooms.”
Connor F.
Hoboken, NJ
“I love that I can see exactly what's included before booking. No surprises, no 'that's an extra charge' moments. Just straightforward, thorough cleaning.”
Anaya D.
The Heights, Jersey City
“The room-by-room breakdown is exactly what I wanted to see. And they follow it precisely. My kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms—all cleaned to the same standard every time.”
Stefan H.
Bayonne, NJ
“Having a checklist means I can verify the work easily. Not that I need to—they've never missed a single item in my pre-war one-bedroom. But the accountability is reassuring.”
Keisha L.
Journal Square, Jersey City
“The consistency comes from the checklist system. Different cleaners, same results. That's hard to achieve, but Jersey City Cleaning Service does it because they have a real process.”
Mateo G.
Boulevard East, Weehawken
“I compared the checklist to what actually got cleaned. Perfect match. They're not just listing things—they're actually doing them. Refreshing honesty.”
Ingrid S.
Van Vorst Park, Jersey City
“The checklist helped me understand the difference between standard and deep cleaning. Made it easy to choose what I needed after a winter of slush and radiator dust. And the execution matched the promise.”
Andre C.
Guttenberg, NJ
“Every item on that checklist gets attention. Window sills, door handles, cabinet fronts—things I'd never think to clean regularly in a small apartment. My place has never been better maintained.”
Noor A.
Paulus Hook, Jersey City
“The checklist system shows they take this seriously. It's not random cleaning—it's methodical, thorough, and consistent. Exactly what a three-story townhome needs.”
Victor E.
Society Hill, Greenville
