      We take the time to get to know our team members. Our extensive hiring process includes a personality test to ensure they’re the right fit for our standards.

      When you choose CleanHaus NYC, you are selecting high-quality professionals who deliver exceptional work.

    • Our cleaners bring at least 3 years of home cleaning experience. CleanHaus NYC home cleaners are subcontractors who are among the top 5% of all cleaners we prospect.

        However, if you cancel your recurring visits before the second cleaning, there is a nominal $59 charge. This charge aligns your initial cleaning cost with our one-time cleaning price. We understand that circumstances can change, and we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible.

      • If your cleaning day falls on a holiday (NewYear's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and ChristmasDay), we'll reach out beforehand to see if rescheduling to the day before or the day after will work for you.
