Get your full security deposit back with a spotless, inspection-ready clean. Sparkly Maid NYC provides professional move out cleaning across Manhattan and Brooklyn, starting at $170 for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment.
Moving out of a New York City apartment is stressful enough without worrying about whether your landlord will find a reason to keep your deposit. Under New York law, your security deposit is capped at one month's rent, and landlords can only deduct for actual damage and cleaning beyond normal wear and tear. A professional move out cleaning gives you the best shot at getting every dollar back, and hands the next tenant a fresh, move-in-ready space.
At Sparkly Maid NYC, we've spent over a decade cleaning NYC apartments top to bottom. Our trained team scrubs, sanitizes, and details every room using eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. You don't even need to be present. Just give us access and go focus on your move.

FAQs
How much does move out cleaning cost in NYC?
1
At Sparkly Maid NYC, move out cleaning starts at $170 for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment, $220 for a 2-bedroom, and $270 for a 3-bedroom. The final price depends on apartment size and any add-ons like interior fridge or oven cleaning. Across NYC, move out cleaning typically ranges from $200 to $500 depending on size and condition, so our rates sit at the competitive end.
How far in advance should I book?
2
We recommend booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead, especially during peak moving season from May through September. That said, we accommodate same-day and next-day requests whenever our schedule allows.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
3
No. Most clients are not present. Just provide access instructions (a key, code, or secondary contact) and we'll complete the cleaning and send you a confirmation when it's done.
Do you clean the inside of the fridge and oven?
5
Yes. Landlords can deduct from your security deposit for cleaning that goes beyond normal wear and tear, so leaving the apartment spotless is one of the most effective ways to protect your deposit. Our move out cleaning is built around the exact checklist property managers use during a walk-through.
Will this help me get my deposit back?
4
Interior appliance cleaning is available as an add-on ($60 each) and is especially recommended for move-outs, since empty fridges and ovens are a common deduction point. Just let us know when you book.
What areas do you serve?
6
We serve all of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Whether you're leaving a studio in the Upper West Side or a 2-bedroom in Williamsburg, we've got you covered.
