Standard Cleaning in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn

Standard Cleaning for Brooklyn Heights Homes

The housing is remarkable: Federal-era wood-frame houses on Willow Street, Greek Revival and Italianate row houses along Hicks, Remsen and Montague, grand brownstones facing the Promenade with their original plaster, marble mantels and heart-pine floors intact, and pre-war co-ops with parquet and old tile. None of that responds well to an aggressive product or a soaking mop. A Standard Cleaning here uses neutral soap on original wood, gentle non-abrasives on marble, soft cloths on plaster, and extension poles for high ceilings rather than ladders against the walls.

The clean is thorough and predictable across every floor. Kitchen counters, stovetop, sink and appliance exteriors sanitized; bathrooms scrubbed and disinfected with attention to the grout lines in older tile; floors vacuumed and damp-mopped; every reachable surface dusted, including the moldings, mantels and sills that collect a fine film in an older house; interior glass wiped; trash emptied; beds made and rooms tidied. For a whole brownstone we send two cleaners so it's done in one visit, and we work quietly and leave things exactly where we found them.

Heights households tend to be long-tenured, and so are their arrangements with us — many have been on a weekly or bi-weekly plan for years. You don't need to be home; a key or a lockbox is all we need, and every cleaner is trusted and vetted. The rate is flat and confirmed before we arrive, with no stair fee for a brownstone, and if anything falls short, tell us within 24 hours and we'll return at no charge.
