Apartment Cleaning for Every Floor of The Heights
Most apartments in The Heights are not in apartment buildings. They are floors of the wood-frame Victorians that line the side streets between Palisade Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard: a floor-through on the second story of a two-family, a top-floor unit tucked under the eaves, a garden-level flat at the back of a three-family. Add the gut-renovated condos going up around Central Avenue and the newer buildings and pre-war walk-ups clustered near the 9th Street and Congress Street light rail stop, and you have the full range of what we clean here.
Each of those comes with its own cleaning problems. An 1890s floor-through has original oak floors that cannot take harsh products, plaster walls, radiators that collect a season of dust, bay windows with deep sills and a bathroom the size of a closet. A renovated condo has quartz and new hardwood that show every fingerprint and, for the first few months, a film of contractor dust inside every cabinet.
Access is different up here too. There is no doorman on the slope, so we work with a key, a lockbox, a door code or a landlord on the first floor, and we carry our own supplies up the front stairs or the steep back staircase. Parking near Central Avenue and alternate-side street cleaning are our problem to solve, not yours.
Our apartment cleaning in The Heights covers the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedrooms and the living areas on every visit. Sills, blinds and light fixtures are dusted, the stovetop and backsplash are degreased, the shower and tile are scrubbed and dried, mirrors and glass are left streak-free, and the floors are swept, vacuumed and mopped with a product matched to the surface. Radiators and the tops of built-in cabinets get the same attention as the countertops.
The people who book with us are the ones the neighborhood is full of: commuters riding the 9th Street elevator down to the light rail, roommates splitting a floor-through off Central Avenue, young families near Pershing Field, and owners of a two- or three-family on the Western Slope who want the rental floors kept up. Most choose biweekly service, some weekly or monthly, and plenty start with a single visit. Book online, pick a time and see your price before you confirm.

When to book
When Apartments in The Heights Need a Clean
Biweekly for Light Rail Commuters
If your day starts with the 9th Street elevator and ends with the ride back up from Hoboken, the apartment gets used hard and cleaned rarely. Every other week is the rhythm most Heights renters settle into.
Roommates Splitting a Floor-Through
Three people on one floor of a Victorian off Central Avenue share one small bathroom and one kitchen. A monthly clean replaces the chore chart nobody follows.
After a Humid Summer on the Slope
By September the bathroom grout in an older Western Slope apartment has gone gray and the sills are coated. One visit resets it before the radiators come on.
Moving Into a Renovated Condo
New quartz, new hardwood and a layer of contractor dust inside every cabinet and window track. Clean it once properly before the furniture arrives.
Turnover in a Two- or Three-Family
Owners on Ogden Avenue and the side streets who rent out the other floors need units cleaned between leases, usually around the first of the month. We can do the rental floor and your own on the same schedule.
Why choose us
Why Renters in The Heights Book With Us
We Know Heights Floor-Throughs
Long central hallways, rooms that open into each other, a bathroom off the kitchen and a back staircase to the yard. We have cleaned enough floors of Palisade Avenue Victorians to work through one efficiently.
Safe on 1890s Oak and New Quartz
pH-neutral products on original hardwood and plaster, streak-free on quartz and glass. Nothing that dulls an old floor or hazes a new counter.
Access Without a Doorman
Key, lockbox, door code or the owner downstairs, whichever your building uses. Every cleaner is background-checked and insured, and we can coordinate with a landlord who lives in the house.
The Same Cleaner Every Visit
Your assigned cleaner learns the quirks of your unit, from the sticky front door to where the cat hides, and delivers the same result each time.

Reviews
What Our Customers Say
“We rent the second floor of a two-family with the original oak floors and radiators in every room. They dust the radiators and the tops of the built-ins, and the floors come out clean without any film. Biweekly for a year now.”
Zinnia B.
Palisade Avenue, The Heights
“I am out the door for the 9th Street elevator by seven and home after dark. I gave them the keypad code, the same cleaner comes every other Wednesday, and the one-bedroom is done before I get back. Zero coordination on my end.”
Quilla E.
Riverview, The Heights
“Our bathroom on the slope side of the house had gone gray over the summer and I could not get the grout back. One visit fixed it, and the monthly service has kept it that way since. They also wiped down the bay window sills, which nobody had done in years.”
Basil V.
Western Slope, The Heights
“Three roommates, top floor, three flights of stairs. They haul everything up without a word and the kitchen we all share is actually clean once a month. Cheaper than the arguments.”
Cormac F.
Central Avenue, The Heights
“Pre-war walk-up near the park with a dog who sheds on everything. They use products that are safe for him and get the hair out of the corners of the hardwood. The apartment smells like nothing, which is the goal.”
Tamar R.
Pershing Field, The Heights
FAQ
Apartment Cleaning in The Heights: Common Questions
Apartment cleaning generally runs $120 - $230+. A studio in one of the newer buildings by the 9th Street and Congress Street light rail stop starts at the lower end, while a full three-bedroom floor-through of a Western Slope Victorian with two bathrooms runs toward the top.
Yes. Most of our Heights apartment clients rent or own one floor of a Victorian between Palisade Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard, and we clean that unit only. If you own the house and want the rental floors done too, we schedule them together.
A key, a lockbox on the railing, a keypad code, or a landlord or roommate who lets us in. We text when we arrive and when we leave, and we bring every supply up the stairs ourselves.
Radiators, deep windowsills, blinds and bathroom tile are part of every visit, and recurring service keeps summer mildew from taking hold. If a bathroom has been neglected for a while, we suggest a deep clean first, then a regular schedule to maintain it.
A pH-neutral hardwood cleaner and a barely damp mop, never steam, vinegar or anything that soaks the boards. The same care applies to the new engineered floors in renovated condos off Central Avenue.
No. Most Heights clients are at work in Manhattan or Hoboken while we clean and leave a key or a code. If you work from home in the apartment, we can work around your calls.
