New Yorkers have a reputation for being some of the busiest, most influential people in the world, so it makes a lot of sense that many of them don’t have the time or patience for all the little domestic duties that demand one’s attention from day to day. It’s not just the Wall Street broker or Manhattan socialites who hire help around the house anymore; more and more New Yorkers are taking time back for themselves by utilizing New York house cleaning services.
One of the unique aspects of the New York house cleaning scene is all the cleaning options that are available to the average client. A particularly modern example of the diversity of the business is “green cleaning.” For the eco conscious consumer, this method of house cleaning involves using only non-toxic, organic cleansers and materials, as well as the most energy efficient of tools. Some green cleaning services even engage in aromatherapy by burning essential oils while cleaning, while others advertise that they offer a turn down service that includes organic chocolate left on the pillows. Another popular house cleaning service is steam cleaning. With steam cleaning, kitchens, bathrooms and hard floors and surfaces in the home are cleaned using only steam, without any harsh chemicals. Steam cleaning is also often used to rid homes of bedbugs and other pests.
New York House Cleaning Basic Services
Any New York house cleaning should include basic services. These include, but are not limited to:
Thorough cleaning of all surfaces with surface appropriate cleaning supplies. For example, marble is easily damaged and should only be cleaned with a special solution. Cleaning services which only use all purpose cleaners may cause damage to sensitive materials.
Kitchen and bathroom disinfection. These are the two dirtiest rooms in a home and should be cleaned painstakingly and with methodical precision.
Dusting. No knick knacks or bric-a-bracs should be left untouched.
Obviously, you want any New York house cleaning service you use to be fully licensed, insured, and bonded, and to do background checks on all their employees. You are opening your home to a virtual stranger – it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Additional Services
Many New York house cleaning services offer extra services, usually with a fee. These often include:
Laundry service. Laundry is very cumbersome for New Yorkers, many who live without cars and sometimes a sizeable distance from a laundry mat. New York house cleaning services frequently offer both dry cleaning and laundry services, and many will also fold your clothes for you once they’ve cleaned them.
Organization services. This will include the contents of cabinets, pantries shelves, and desk areas. Some services even offer help for hoarders, or compulsive collectors.
Spring cleaning. A one time, deep clean, spring cleaning services will make any neglected home sparkle again.
Post renovation services. The focus of this deep clean is to rid any recently renovation New York apartment of dust and other construction grime.
