Brooklyn Maids offers mobile cleaning services across Brooklyn, with appointments taking place at customer addresses rather than a walk-in office. Whether you’re moving, need a deep clean, or want regular upkeep, the company’s options can be tailored to your needs. Their service area is boroughwide, not limited to Downtown Brooklyn, and the relevant address is the home or workspace you want cleaned. Share its borough location and building access details when requesting an appointment.

If you’re considering booking, your first step is to decide which cleaning scope fits your situation. Brooklyn Maids lists standard, deep, move-out, and commercial cleaning. Each comes with its own set of tasks, so clarifying your priorities before reaching out can help streamline the process.

Choosing the Right Cleaning Scope

The company’s standard cleaning is described as routine upkeep—think dusting, vacuuming, and general tidying. If you’re preparing for guests or want to maintain a tidy apartment, this may be enough. Deep cleaning, on the other hand, includes more detailed work: scrubbing tile and grout, cleaning baseboards, doorframes, windowsills, and tracks. For those who haven’t had a professional cleaning in a while, or if ordinary household dirt has built up, deep cleaning could be the better fit.

Move-out cleaning adds inside cabinets and appliances to the deep cleaning checklist. If you’re ending a lease, this option may help you prepare the space for inspection. Commercial cleaning is also available, but you’ll want to specify the type and size of your workspace when requesting a quote.

Supplies and Insurance: What to Ask

Brooklyn Maids states that they bring their own cleaning supplies. If you have allergies or sensitivities, you may want to ask about the specific products used, and explain which ingredients or fragrances you need to avoid. The company also describes itself as insured, but if you require documentation for your building or peace of mind, it’s a good idea to request proof directly.

Booking and Service Hours

Appointments are required for all services. Brooklyn Maids operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and weekends from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. If you need a specific time slot—say, a Saturday morning before a move—it’s wise to reach out early, as availability depends on existing bookings. Use the company’s phone or online booking channels to arrange service at your address.

Getting a Quote: Scope and Variables

There’s no universal price for cleaning services; Brooklyn Maids provides quotes based on the scope of work. Before calling (347-750-4380) or submitting an online request, consider making a list of your priorities. For example, if you have a two-bedroom apartment and want both a deep clean and inside-appliance cleaning, specify this upfront. If you’re a business owner with a large office, be ready to describe the square footage and any special requirements. Confirm the total cost before booking to avoid surprises.

Preparing Your Building and Household

Coordinate entry before the appointment. Tell the company whether the building has a staffed lobby, a walk-up, an elevator reservation requirement, or a particular doorbell. If management requires an insurance certificate, ask what information it needs and how far ahead that paperwork must arrive. These are questions to settle with your building and the company, rather than assumptions about what a cleaner can arrange on arrival.

For a move-out appointment, decide whether the cleaning should happen before or after furniture and boxes leave. Describe anything that will remain in cabinets or appliances, and ask how that affects the agreed scope. For regular upkeep, identify the rooms that matter most and any surfaces needing specific care. Discuss pets, keys, and whether someone will be home. A short priority list is more useful than a general request to make everything spotless.

When the work is booked, keep a copy of the agreed tasks and total. If a particular item matters to you—such as the inside of a refrigerator—check that it appears in the scope instead of assuming its inclusion. Ask how to raise a question about completed work and what to do if your access arrangements change before the appointment.

Before You Go

  • Decide which cleaning scope (standard, deep, move-out, commercial) matches your needs.
  • Ask about cleaning products if you have allergies or sensitivities.
  • Confirm your total quote and any access instructions before booking.
