Apartment Cleaning in Nassau County | From $151

CleanWhale brings two-person crews to apartments and homes across Nassau County — Garden City, Great Neck, Manhasset, Rockville Centre, and the rest of the North and South Shore. It is one of the richest markets on Long Island and one of the least served by the cleaning companies that stay inside the five boroughs, which is exactly why we built a page for it. Apartment cleaning starts from $151 for a one-bedroom, and you can book online in a couple of minutes.

The housing stock here

Nassau is a homeowner's county — roughly 82% of households own, the highest in this set, and households run large at about 2.99 people, so the homes are working hard. The dominant form is the center-hall Colonial: two to three floors, a finished basement, an attached garage, a mudroom off the side door, and often a second kitchen or a laundry room that a city apartment never has. That footprint changes how a clean is scoped. A Manhasset Colonial, where the median home value sits around $1.36M, is not billed like a one-bedroom walk-up; there are two-and-a-half to four baths to reset, a basement rec room, and a garage with a utility sink. In Garden City, where the median household income is about $244,152 and homeownership runs to 93.7%, the same pattern repeats block after block. Great Neck skews to larger families — around 3.21 people per household and about 71% ownership — so kitchens, mudrooms, and back stairs take the brunt of daily traffic. Where older homes have cast-iron radiators, cleaning behind the covers is part of the job, not an extra. And we scope by the whole house: a two-story Colonial with a finished basement is more square footage and more stair flights than the bedroom count suggests, so we count the flights and the extra rooms rather than pretending it is a flat.

Getting into your home

Most of Nassau is single-family, so access is simpler than a co-op tower — but the details still matter. For owners who travel or split time between the shore and the city, we handle keys the careful way: a coded lockbox, a garage keypad code, or a key left with a trusted neighbor, logged so the same crew returns to the same door. If your home sits in one of the county's elevator or attached condo buildings, we can carry a certificate of insurance naming the building and managing agent as additional insured; the standard $1M cert is usually issued within about 30 days of booking. We come in through the side or service door and mudroom when there is one, so grit stays off the front-hall floors.

What we clean here

Every visit covers the shared checklist — kitchens, baths, floors, dusting, trash, and surfaces — plus the things a Nassau Colonial actually has:

• The extra baths: powder room, primary suite, basement, and pool bath each reset individually.
• The finished basement — rec room, home gym, or second den — vacuumed and wiped, not skipped.
• Garage and mudroom entry: swept, utility sink and bench wiped, tracked-in salt and grit cleared.
• Cast-iron radiators and the floors behind their covers, where the home still runs on steam.
• Stair flights between floors, dusted balusters and treads — we count the flights when we price.

Pricing

Apartment cleaning starts from $151 for a one-bedroom, $179 for two bedrooms, and $207 for three bedrooms. For a full Colonial we price hourly or by area — a five-to-eight-hour visit with a two-person crew is typical — with explicit line items for the finished basement, the garage, and each extra bath, so nothing is buried. Sales tax at this job address is 8.625% (Nassau County), applied to the service. Recurring plans — weekly, twice-monthly, or monthly — carry a standing discount, and most large households here run on a recurring schedule.

FAQ

Do you clean the finished basement and garage?

Yes. Both are quoted as their own line items rather than folded into a bedroom count, because they add real time and square footage.

How long does a Nassau Colonial take?

A two-to-three-floor home with two-plus baths, a basement, and a garage usually runs five to eight hours with a two-person crew, depending on stair flights and how many bathrooms reset.

Can you come while I'm at the shore or in the city?

Yes. We work from a coded lockbox, a garage keypad, or a key left with a neighbor, logged so the same crew returns each time.

How is tax handled?

The rate is set by the job address. For Nassau County that is 8.625%, shown on your invoice.

Do recurring visits cost less?

Yes — weekly, twice-monthly, and monthly plans all carry a standing discount off the one-time rate.
