CleanWhale — post-renovation cleaning in New York, done properly

The work is finished, but the apartment isn't ready to live in yet. Renovations leave behind a very particular kind of mess: fine construction dust that settles on every surface and inside every cabinet, plaster and grout haze, adhesive residue, paint splatter, and debris in the corners. It works its way into places ordinary cleaning skips, and it keeps resurfacing for days. In a New York apartment, where you're often moving back in on a deadline, that's the last thing you want to tackle alone.

Post-construction cleanup is a different job from routine cleaning — it takes the right sequence, the right tools, and patience. Our teams work top to bottom, capturing dust rather than just moving it around, so the space is genuinely ready rather than superficially tidy. You give us access; we handle the rest at a time that suits you.

After-builders cleaning in New York

Just wrapped a renovation and dreading the cleanup? Here's how CleanWhale handles post-construction cleaning for New York homes and offices.

We're a dependable New York cleaning company built for exactly this kind of detailed work. We clear debris, remove fine dust from surfaces, fixtures, radiators and inside cabinets, tackle plaster and paint marks, degrease and wipe down, clean windows and frames, and finish the floors — matching the method and product to each surface so nothing gets scratched or damaged.

Speed, punctuality and thoroughness matter to us as much as they do to you. With the right equipment and the correct product for each material, we leave the space clean, safe and ready to use, without harm to new finishes.

Every renovation leaves a different mess, so we tailor the scope to the site — a single refreshed room or a whole gut-renovated apartment. We'll walk through what's needed and be clear about what one visit will achieve.

Depending on what you need, this can be a one-time deep clean after the builders leave, or part of a recurring schedule once you've settled in. It's entirely up to you.

Many clients bring us in for more than the post-renovation clean alone. CleanWhale offers full-service cleaning, so we can look after the whole space afterwards too: general home cleaning, upholstery and sofa cleaning, window and office cleaning, and kitchen cleaning. We're flexible and work across New York, with support whenever you need it. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

To book, go to cleanwhale.us, choose the service you need, and set the details — the size of the space, any add-ons, your preferred cleaner (after your first order you can pick someone who has already worked with you), a convenient time, your address, your details, and a payment method. The site is straightforward, so placing an order takes only a few minutes.
