Residential Cleaning
Apartment Cleaning in DC
Cleaning for DC studios, one-bedrooms and condos, planned around small kitchens, shared entrances and building rules.
Cleaning an apartment is its own kind of job
Apartments pack a full home into a small footprint, so dirt shows quickly and everything is within reach of everything else. A one-bedroom in Columbia Heights, a condo near Navy Yard and a garden-level unit under a Capitol Hill rowhouse each have their own quirks, from radiator dust to a kitchen where the stove, sink and fridge share one wall.
Building access matters as much as the cleaning. Front desks, key fobs, buzzers, package rooms and elevator reservations all shape when and how we can arrive. We ask about them up front so the first visit does not stall at the door.
Most renters in DC live in apartments, and many are busy people working long hours. A well-planned visit gives you back a weekend morning and a space that feels like yours again.
What we pay attention to in an apartment
Smaller spaces get a tighter focus. We agree the list with you before we arrive.
The kitchen
In a small kitchen every surface is in use. We work through counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts first.
The bathroom
Often the only one, so it gets extra attention: tub or shower, toilet, vanity, tile and mirror.
Floors
Hardwood, laminate or tile, vacuumed and mopped the way the surface allows, including around furniture.
Radiators and sills
Older DC buildings have radiators and deep window sills that collect dust a quick wipe misses.
Closets and entryways
The narrow spaces where shoes, salt and grit land. We wipe them down on request.
Balcony or shared access
If you have a balcony, tell us. We confirm what we can clean before the visit.
What to tell us before the visit
How we get in
Front desk, key fob, lockbox or you at home. Include any elevator booking rules for outside crews.
Size and layout
Studio, one-bedroom or larger, how many bathrooms, and whether the unit is a condo or a rental.
Your building's rules
Some buildings limit contractor hours or ask for paperwork. Tell us and we will plan around it.

Apartment cleaning questions in DC
Do you clean condos as well as rentals?
Yes. Apartments, condos and similar units are all quoted from the size of the space and what you want done.
What if my building asks contractors for proof of insurance?
Tell us what your building asks for when you contact us. We will confirm what we can provide before the visit is booked.
Can you work around the front desk and package room?
Yes, as long as we know the process. Send the details of your building's access when you ask for a quote.
How much does apartment cleaning cost?
It depends on size, condition and how often you want us. Call (202) 489-2372 or send the form and we will quote from your details instead of a flat rate.
