Apartment Cleaning in Yonkers, NY — From $151

CleanWhale cleans apartments and co-ops across Yonkers, from the Getty Square high-rises to the walk-ups off McLean Avenue and the elevator buildings along the Hudson in Ludlow and Greystone. One-bedroom units start from $151, and because Yonkers sits at the same 8.875% sales tax as New York City, our existing NYC price map transfers here with no edits. You can book online in about a minute and pick a recurring plan for a standing discount.

The building fabric here

Yonkers is a genuinely mixed market, which is why this page carries two pricing models. On one side you have apartment houses and co-ops: pre-war courtyard buildings, mid-century brick elevator stock, and newer waterfront towers with floor-to-ceiling glass. Much of the older rental and co-op stock is steam-heated, so cast-iron radiators under the windows are normal, and cleaning the dust that collects behind and inside their covers is part of a real clean, not an add-on. Silver radiator-bronze paint on those units cuts heat output, but it also holds grime differently than enamel, so we wipe rather than scrub it. In units where a child ten or under lives, window guards stay bolted in and partially block the sill and lower sash; we clean around them the way the Health Code intends, without removing hardware. Older co-ops frequently ban in-unit washers over riser and lint-fire concerns, so laundry lives in a basement room. On the other side of the market are Yonkers' single-family houses in Park Hill, Crestwood, and Colonial Heights, typically two to three floors with a finished basement and a garage. A flat room-by-bath grid undercounts a house like that, so for homes we price by area, by the hour, or with explicit line items for the basement, garage, and each bath beyond the first.

Getting into your building

Access in Yonkers varies more than in Manhattan. Doorman and concierge towers on the waterfront usually want deliveries and crews through a service entrance, and a managed building may ask for a certificate of insurance before we start. Our COI names the building as additional insured at a $1M baseline, lists the co-op and its managing agent, and is typically issued within 30 days, so send us the managing agent's requirements early. For walk-ups and two-families, it comes down to keys, lockboxes, and the intercom. Many owners here commute the 15 miles to Midtown on Metro-North and travel for work, so we handle keys on a signed, logged basis and can work off a lockbox code. Stair flights matter to pricing: a fourth-floor walk-up is more work than a first-floor unit, and we count flights honestly rather than pretending they are free.

What we clean here

Every visit covers the shared checklist: kitchen surfaces and exterior of appliances, bathrooms, floors, dusting, and trash. In Yonkers we also pay attention to a handful of local specifics:

• Behind and around cast-iron radiator covers, where steam-heat dust builds up.
• Floor-to-ceiling glass in the waterfront towers, cleaned to the reach we can safely make from inside.
• Original hardwood and herringbone floors in pre-war units, cleaned to the finish rather than soaked.
• Finished basements and garage bays in the single-family homes, quoted as their own line items.
• Stair flights in walk-ups, counted into the scope up front.

Pricing

Apartment cleaning in Yonkers starts from $151 for a one-bedroom, $179 for two bedrooms, and $207 for three bedrooms. Sales tax at a Yonkers job address is 8.875% — the same rate as New York City — so nothing about the price map changes when you cross the line. Recurring plans carry a discount: weekly, twice-monthly, and monthly all cost less per visit than a one-time clean. Houses with basements, garages, and multiple baths are quoted by area, hourly, or by line item so the price reflects the actual floors and rooms.

Questions Yonkers customers ask

Is the price really the same as NYC?

Yes. The 8.875% tax rate is identical, so our NYC flat rates apply in Yonkers with no adjustment.

My co-op asks for a certificate of insurance. Can you provide one?

Yes. Send us your managing agent's requirements and we issue a COI naming the building as additional insured, usually within 30 days. Some boards require limits above the $1M baseline.

I travel for work. Can you clean while I'm away?

Yes. We work off signed, logged keys or a lockbox code, which is common for Metro-North commuters here.

Do you handle single-family houses, not just apartments?

Yes. Houses are priced by area, hourly, or by line item, with the basement, garage, and extra baths counted separately.

Does a walk-up cost more?

Stair flights are a pricing factor, so an upper-floor walk-up is quoted higher than a ground-floor or elevator unit.
