House Cleaning Services in Queens

Queens is a house borough as much as an apartment one, and CleanWhale is built for both. If you own a two- or three-family in Astoria, Woodside, or Ridgewood, you already know a cleaning job here isn't one flat unit. It's an owner's floor, a finished basement, a backyard patio, and often a rental turnover on top. We quote all of it upfront so the number you see when you book is the number you pay.

Why owners here book us

Three things about Queens homes shape how we work, and they're not things a generic crew plans for. First, the finished basement. It's the borough's second living room — a den with a bar, a sofa, a laundry corner, sometimes a half-bath — and it needs to be counted as its own space, including the stairs down to it. Second, the two-family layout means we confirm which door is yours before we arrive: the front stoop, the side service entrance off the driveway, or a separate basement entry. Many owners rent out the other floors, travel, or both, so we handle keys and lockboxes on a documented basis and can clean between tenants while you're away.

Third, the pre-war co-ops in Jackson Heights and Forest Hills come with their own rules. Cast-iron radiators need dust pulled from behind the covers, not just a wipe across the top. The parquet floors — herringbone and basket-weave — are cleaned with the grain and kept from getting soaked. And because many of these buildings and the newer LIC towers require a certificate of insurance before a cleaner enters, we issue a COI naming the building as additional insured, at the $1M baseline or the higher limits some boards ask for, typically ready within about 30 days.

Flat-rate booking, no guesswork

You book online with three details: the address, the number of bedrooms, and how many flights of stairs are involved — up a walk-up or between floors of a duplex. Stairs are a genuine labor factor, so counting them keeps the price honest instead of tacked on later. Apartment cleaning starts from $151 for a one-bedroom, $179 for two bedrooms, and $207 for three bedrooms, with finished basements, backyards, and driveways quoted as add-ons. Sales tax at a Queens address is 8.875%, applied to the service total.

Set up a recurring plan — weekly, twice-monthly, or monthly — and a discount applies to every visit. That's how most owners here run it: their own floor on a steady schedule and a deeper turnover clean whenever a tenant moves out. Whether it's a Long Island City tower unit behind floor-to-ceiling glass or a three-family in Sunnyside with a den downstairs, tell us what's there and we'll build the quote around your actual home.

We serve all of Queens — Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills, Flushing, Sunnyside, and beyond. Book online to lock in your first visit and get a flat rate before we ever ring the bell.
