Can you clean while I'm at work?

Yes, and many of our apartment customers prefer it. You can leave a key with your building manager, use a lockbox or arrange entry another way that suits your building. On the phone, tell us about any gate codes, elevator fobs or front desk check-in, and we will time our arrival to match.

Will you clean my AC filter?

We vacuum and wipe the front grille of wall and window units, and we can rinse a washable filter if it slides out without tools. Ducted systems with filters behind locked panels are usually the building's responsibility, so we leave those alone.

Do you bring your own supplies?

Yes. Our crew arrives with cleaning solutions, microfiber cloths, a vacuum and floor equipment, so you don't need to buy anything. If you prefer a particular product, like a fragrance-free cleaner, set it on the counter and we will use that instead.

Is this the same as a move-out clean?

Not quite. Apartment cleaning is for a unit you live in, with furniture in place. If you are leaving and want the deposit inspection covered, our Move-Out Cleaning page lists the empty-unit tasks, like inside cabinets and appliances.

How do I get a price?

Apartment Cleaning in Los Angeles

We clean apartments with attention to what small spaces collect: grease on the range hood filter, dust packed into the wall AC grille, soap film on shower glass and grit in the slider track. You get a unit that feels fresher and equipment that runs with less strain.

Why apartments need a different kind of clean

An apartment packs a kitchen, a bathroom and a laundry closet into a small floor plan, often with a single window wall for air. Cooking vapor, shower steam and dust have fewer places to go, so they settle on the same surfaces again and again. We plan the clean around that, working top to bottom so dust from vents and ceiling fans lands on floors we haven't finished yet.

Some of that buildup costs you in comfort and running costs. A wall or window AC unit pulling air through a matted grille works longer to cool the room. A bathroom exhaust fan coated in lint moves less moist air out, which leaves mildew on the caulk. We clean these parts as part of the job, not as an afterthought.

If you want routine visits, see our Regular Cleaning page. For a first visit after months of buildup, Deep Cleaning may be the better start, and we will tell you which fits when you call.

What our apartment cleaning covers

Kitchen surfaces and appliances

We degrease the cooktop, backsplash and cabinet fronts near the stove, wipe the microwave inside and out, and clean the fridge exterior and handles. Where the range hood filter is removable, we soak it to cut the grease film that restricts airflow.

Bathroom scale and mildew

We remove soap scum and hard-water spots from glass, tile and fixtures, scrub the toilet including the base and hinges, and treat dark mildew lines along grout and caulk. We also wipe the exhaust fan cover so it can pull steam out properly.

Vent grilles and AC intakes

We vacuum and wipe supply and return grilles and the front grille of wall or window AC units. A clear intake lets air move freely, so the unit cools the room without running as long.

Floors, baseboards and tracks

We vacuum carpet, damp-mop hard floors and wipe baseboards. Sliding door and window tracks get vacuumed and wiped, since packed grit makes doors drag and wears the rollers.

Dusting from the top down

Ceiling fan blades, light fixtures, shelves, window sills and door frames are dusted before floors are touched, so nothing falls on clean surfaces.

Signs your apartment is due for a professional clean

Gray fuzz on the AC grille: Visible dust on the intake means the filter behind it is likely loaded too. Airflow drops and the unit works harder for the same comfort.
Sticky film above the stove: Cooking grease travels up and out. If cabinet doors near the range feel tacky, the hood filter is probably saturated as well.
Mirror fog that lingers: When the bathroom stays steamy long after a shower, a dusty exhaust fan is often part of the reason. That moisture feeds mildew on caulk and ceiling paint.
A slider that drags: Sand and grit in the track make a balcony door hard to open and can stop it sealing well against drafts.
Dust returns in a day or two: Fast-returning dust usually points to dirty vents and fan blades that redistribute it every time air moves.

How the visit runs

1
Quote by phone
On the call, we ask about the layout of your unit, the spots that bother you most and how entry works in your building. From that, we give you a free quote and settle on a time.
2
Arrival and access
We follow your building's rules for parking, elevators and entry. We bring our own supplies and equipment, so you don't need to stock anything.
3
Top-down, wet rooms last
We dust high surfaces and vents first, then work through living areas and bedrooms, then the kitchen and bathroom. Floors are done last, finishing at the door.
4
Walkthrough
Before we leave, you can look over the unit with us or check it on your own afterward. If something was missed, call us by the next day and we will review it and work out a fair fix.

What affects the price of apartment cleaning

Your quote depends on the size of the unit and how much buildup we will be working against. We ask a few specific questions on the phone so the number reflects your apartment, not a guess. If anything changes once we see the space, we talk with you before doing extra work.

Bedrooms and bathrooms: Bathrooms take the most time per square foot because of scale, grout and fixtures, so a second bathroom moves the price more than an extra bedroom.
Level of buildup: Baked-on grease, heavy hard-water scale and months of vent dust take longer to remove than light weekly soil.
Add-on tasks: Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows and cabinet interiors are extra time and are quoted separately.
Building access: Long walks from parking, stair-only buildings and strict loading rules add time to setup and are factored in.
