Deep Cleaning in Old Astoria, Queens

Deep Cleaning for Old Astoria Homes

In the old houses toward the river, a deep clean is largely detail work: original woodwork washed by hand with a neutral product and wiped nearly dry, old glass cleaned gently and dry-buffed, tile and enamel treated with non-abrasives, plaster never touched with a wet cloth, and original floors damp-mopped rather than soaked. In the waterfront towers it's about chemistry — the mineral film hard water leaves on glass showers and chrome, which needs a descaler and dwell time rather than scrubbing; stone counters that need a pH-neutral cleaner; a wall of glass that needs a squeegee.

Either way the service covers everything a Standard Cleaning does and then goes deeper. Oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and dishwasher cleaned inside; cabinet fronts and hood degreased; behind appliances where they move. Shower glass, faucets and showerheads descaled; grout scrubbed; tile cleaned. Baseboards, moldings, door frames and switch plates washed; blinds, vents and light fixtures detailed; sills and tracks cleared; interior glass streak-free. Floors finished last so nothing resettles on them.

A one- or two-bedroom tower apartment takes four to six hours; a whole old house is a full day with two cleaners. The rate is flat and confirmed before we begin — for a house, a few photos help us make it exact — and doesn't change however long the job runs. Anything missed is re-cleaned free within 24 hours.
