About this service

Apartment cleaning that gets city living

Center City · Rittenhouse · Fishtown · Northern Liberties · Queen Village · South Philly · University City · Old City · Fairmount · West Philly · Mount Airy

Looking for apartment cleaning in Philadelphia? You want a local team that understands what it's like to live in the city — and what apartment homes actually need. Since 2021, Hometress has cleaned apartments across Center City, Rittenhouse, University City, Northern Liberties, and Fishtown, from fourth-floor walk-ups to doorman high-rises.

Apartments clean differently than houses: tighter kitchens and baths, shared entries and elevators, building rules and quiet hours, and a square footage that rewards a careful, efficient routine. We coordinate doorman and concierge access, work around the building's logistics, and leave your place spotless without the surprise line items. Every apartment cleaner is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence.

Representative review

“I sent the front-desk instructions with my booking, and the cleaner checked in without me leaving work. The galley kitchen and bathroom both felt properly reset.”

— Sana K.Fishtown · Philadelphia

Representative review

“Our fourth-floor walk-up can be awkward, but the building notes were followed and the narrow stairwell stayed quiet. The cleaner handled the small kitchen and floors carefully.”

— Lena M.Old City · Philadelphia

Representative review

“The stovetop, backsplash, and window sills were the details I noticed. The price was clear before I booked, and there wasn't another line item afterward.”

— Chris T.East Falls · Philadelphia

Good to know

Questions, answered.

(215) 607-7361
Do you coordinate with my doorman or building?

Yes — high-rises and doorman buildings are part of our routine. Share access details when you book — front-desk check-in, key fob, smart-lock code, or a hidden key — and your cleaner follows your building's procedure and quiet hours.

Is apartment cleaning cheaper than a house?

Usually — pricing is flat and based on your home's size and the kind of clean, so a one-bedroom apartment typically costs less than a full house. You'll see the all-in total before you book, with no hidden fees.

How much does apartment cleaning cost in Philadelphia?

Apartment cleaning starts at $170 for a standard visit. Your final flat, all-in price depends on the size of your apartment and the kind of clean you choose, and you see it before booking. Supplies are included, so the number is not an hourly estimate with surprise line items. If you choose a recurring cadence, the per-visit total adjusts on screen before you commit.

Do I need to be home for my apartment cleaning?

No. You can be home if you prefer, but you can also leave a key in a lockbox or share a smart-lock or door code before the visit. In a doorman building, provide the front-desk or concierge instructions and any key-fob details. Your cleaner follows the access plan and building rules you provide, so apartment cleaning can happen without you waiting at home.

What should I share before cleaning a walk-up or high-rise apartment?

Share whether your building is a walk-up or has an elevator, plus any front-desk check-in, key-fob, smart-lock, quiet-hour, or other building instructions. That context helps your cleaner follow the building's routine from the start. If you have a balcony or terrace, or want deeper attention inside the oven or fridge, include those details when you book so the visit reflects the apartment's needs.

How are apartment cleaners vetted?

Every cleaner is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence. That same standard applies whether your apartment is a studio, a walk-up, or a doorman high-rise. You receive a cleaner prepared to follow the access details and building rules you provide, and your visit is also covered by the 48-hour make-right guarantee.

How will my cleaner get in?

However works for you — be home, leave a key in a lockbox, or share a smart-lock or door code. You'll set access details with us before the visit, and your cleaner arrives within your scheduled window.

What if I'm not happy with the clean?

Tell us within 48 hours. We review the concern and make it right — a free re-clean of the affected area, or a credit or refund on that portion. That's the White Glove Guarantee.
