Commercial Cleaning
General cleaning for offices and shared commercial space, scoped around traffic, touch points, and the hours you can actually get us in.
Cleaning that holds its standard
Commercial cleaning services in New York that hold the standard
Standards usually slip quietly: a new crew every few weeks, high-touch surfaces skipped, and restroom complaints landing in your inbox. We work from a written scope, keep the same crews on your floors, and schedule around your freight elevator and after-hours windows.
✓Written scope you can hold us to

The problems we hear about in New York buildings
The complaints repeat from building to building. The crew changes every few weeks, so nobody remembers which conference rooms get reset on which nights. Door handles, elevator buttons, and badge readers are wiped one visit and skipped the next. A shared lobby looks fine at 8am and rough by lunch. Tenants notice the restrooms first, and that is the complaint that reaches the property manager.
We plan around the things that make cleaning a Manhattan building difficult. Freight elevator and after-hours windows are short, so the work is sequenced to fit inside them. Shared lobbies and elevator banks get attention on every visit, not only on the nights someone has spare time. Winter salt and grit come off entry floors before they grind into the finish, and when a build-out is running upstairs we work to keep that dust out of occupied floors.
Services
Commercial cleaning services in New York City
Each page covers what the service includes, the surfaces it covers, and the access constraints that shape how it gets scheduled in a New York building.
Janitorial Services
Recurring service with a task list and a frequency for every area, so the result does not depend on which crew shows up.
Floor Care
Entry mats, lobby stone, hard floors, and carpet: the surfaces that take winter salt and heavy foot traffic first.
Deep Cleaning
A reset for space that routine cleaning has fallen behind on, so regular visits can hold the standard again.
Post-Construction Cleaning
Final cleaning after a build-out, including the fine dust that migrates into occupied floors and settles on everything twice.
Window Cleaning
Interior glass and accessible windows, scheduled around tenant hours and whatever the building allows.
Office Cleaning
Desks, meeting rooms, reception, and the shared kitchen that gets used far harder than anyone plans for.
Industrial Cleaning
Operational space where the surfaces, the access rules, and the safety requirements all shape the scope.
A written scope, so nothing rests on memory
Every area gets a task list and a frequency in writing. When a crew member is out, the next person works from the same document instead of guessing, which is what stops standards from drifting week to week.
Work that fits your access windows
We plan around freight elevator windows, sign-in rules, and the hours your building allows, then sequence the work so a short window is still enough to finish the floor.
Restrooms and high-touch surfaces first
Door handles, elevator buttons, badge readers, kitchen fixtures, and restroom fittings are on the checklist for every visit, along with supplies, because these are what tenants complain about first.
Floors treated for what they are
Vacuuming, damp mopping, and periodic deep work matched to the material. In winter that means getting salt and grit off entry floors and lobby stone before it gets walked deeper into the building.
Shared areas that stay presentable
Trash, recycling, lobbies, and elevator cabs get reset on a schedule, so a multi-tenant building still looks the same on Thursday afternoon as it did Monday morning.
Someone who answers after the sale
Holding a vendor to a standard usually gets harder once the sales rep moves on. You get a direct way to flag an issue, confirmation when it is fixed, and periodic checks against the written scope so the same problem does not come back next month.
Who we clean for
Industries we clean in New York
Every industry has a different definition of clean, a different set of access rules, and a different thing that gets complained about first. The scope is written around yours.
Request a Callback- Offices and corporate space: Desks, meeting rooms, reception, and the shared kitchen that takes more abuse than anyone plans for.
- Medical and dental practices: Waiting rooms, treatment rooms, and restrooms cleaned on a documented routine, worked around patient hours.
- Retail and showrooms: Glass, entry mats, and floors that customers judge in the first few seconds, kept up through the whole trading week.
- Property management and multi-tenant buildings: Lobbies, elevator cabs, corridors, and common restrooms, which is where tenant complaints usually start.
- Warehouses and light industrial: Larger floor areas and equipment, where the surfaces and the safety rules shape how the work gets scheduled.
- Schools and community facilities: High-touch surfaces across shared rooms, cleaned between sessions rather than around them.
- Restaurants and hospitality: Front of house held to what guests see, with back of house on a schedule that fits service hours.
- Construction and fit-out sites: Final cleaning after a build-out, including the fine dust that settles twice before the space is ready.
Local coverage
Service areas: all five boroughs
We clean commercial property across all five boroughs, mostly in buildings where access has to be coordinated with staff and the standard has to hold week after week.
Request a Callback- Manhattan: Dense floors and late meetings leave a narrow after-hours window, so the work has to be quiet and finished before the building fills up again.
- Brooklyn: Converted warehouses and mixed commercial space put the work on older floors and shared entries that take a lot of foot traffic.
- Queens: Offices, medical suites, and light industrial space sit side by side, so the scope changes from one building to the next.
- The Bronx: Warehouses, clinics, and community facilities need steady floor care and common-area work on a schedule that fits their hours.
- Staten Island: Standalone offices and retail space mean parking and access are easier, but the standard still has to hold every visit.

About Manhattan Commercial Cleaning
Manhattan Commercial Cleaning is a local commercial cleaning company based at 1631 2nd Ave Unit 5 in New York, NY 10028. We work in the buildings we clean, so the constraints are familiar: short service windows, a freight elevator shared with other vendors, and a lobby that has to look right during business hours.
Our work starts with how your space is actually used: where the foot traffic runs, which touch points get handled all day, how quickly the restrooms turn over, when trash builds up, and what the building requires for service elevators, loading, and after-hours access. That becomes a scope you can check us against rather than a general promise about quality.
If you are replacing a vendor, we start by walking the space and writing down what is currently being missed, which is usually more specific than the complaints suggest. From there we agree on what gets fixed in the first few weeks and what settles into the regular routine.
From first walkthrough to steady service
How we start in a new building
We walk the building with you
We look at the space, hear what is going wrong now, and get the building rules in writing: access hours, elevator windows, sign-in, and trash protocol.
You get the scope in writing
A task list by area with frequencies, service times, and instructions for anything sensitive, such as desks, server rooms, or tenant space with its own rules.
We reset the site if it needs it
Where there is real buildup, routine visits will never catch up on their own. A reset clean brings the site to a baseline that regular service can hold.
Then we keep checking our own work
Crews work to the scope, issues get logged and closed out, and the plan changes when your occupancy or the season does (winter entryways and a summer build-out need different attention).
What it costs

How Much Does Commercial Cleaning Services Cost in New York?
Commercial cleaning services in New York typically range from about $0.10 to $0.30 per square foot per visit, or roughly $800 to $4,000+ per month for many small to mid-size offices depending on frequency. Light cleaning a few times per week lands at the lower end, while nightly service, higher-traffic spaces, and detailed restroom and kitchen work trend higher.
What moves the number: square footage, how often we visit, how many restrooms, what the floors are made of, trash volume, disinfection requirements, and how tight the access windows are (a building that gives cleaners a two-hour freight elevator slot costs more to service than one that does not). Exact pricing is confirmed after a walkthrough and a written scope.
Client experience
“We needed a dependable crew that could work around our building access rules. The scope was clear, the start-up clean got us back to a baseline, and the office has stayed consistent week after week.”
“Communication has been straightforward. When something gets missed, it is addressed quickly and does not keep happening.”
“Restrooms and the kitchen were our biggest issue. Those areas are finally being handled with the detail we asked for.”
If your cleaning is inconsistent, the fastest fix is a walkthrough and a written scope that sets the standard room by room.

Common questions
Questions we get from building managers
What types of facilities do you clean in New York?+
Offices and the common areas of commercial buildings: lobbies, elevator banks, corridors, restrooms, and shared kitchens. The walkthrough confirms the rooms, surfaces, and traffic patterns so the scope matches how the space is actually used.
Do you offer nightly cleaning, daytime porters, or both?+
Either, or both. A common setup in New York is after-hours crews for the main work and a daytime porter for restrooms, lobby touch-ups, and trash while the building is busy, since those are the areas that get noticed between visits.
Can you work with building security and service-elevator rules?+
Yes. Sign-in procedures, certificates on file with management, freight elevator windows, and loading and trash protocols are all part of the plan before the first visit, not something we work out on the night.
What is included in a commercial cleaning scope of work?+
Tasks by area and frequency: restrooms, kitchens, common areas, floors, trash, and high-touch points such as door handles, elevator buttons, and badge readers. It also records the restrictions (desk policies, rooms nobody enters unattended) so there is no disagreement later about what was supposed to happen.
How do you handle quality control over time?+
A written checklist, periodic inspections against it, and a direct way to report a problem and get told when it is fixed. Crew consistency does most of the work here: the fewer new faces on your floors, the less the standard moves. When your occupancy changes, we change the frequencies rather than letting the same schedule quietly fall behind.
How do we get started?+
A walkthrough. We see the space, confirm what matters most to you, and write a scope and schedule that fits the building's operating rules. If the site needs a reset first, we plan that before regular service starts.
