Apartment Cleaning in Lakewood
We clean apartments top to bottom: kitchen, bathroom, floors, dusting and the small spots that collect grime in tight spaces. You tell us the size, the condition and how we get in. We give you a straight price before anyone shows up.
What apartment cleaning is and when it fits
An apartment is a small space that gets used hard. The kitchen is often a few steps from the couch, one bathroom handles everyone, and dust settles fast when windows face a busy street or parking lot. Our apartment cleaning covers every room in one visit, sized to the unit you actually live in.
It is the right call if you want your place clean on a schedule, or brought back to clean after a busy stretch. If the unit has gone months without a real scrub, we will tell you that deep cleaning is the better first visit. If you are handing back keys, move-out cleaning is built for that.
Most of the planning for an apartment is about getting in. Gate codes, guest parking, stairs and building rules all affect the day, so we ask about them up front instead of finding out at the curb.
What we clean in your apartment
- Kitchen counters, stove and sink
- We wipe counters and backsplash, degrease the stovetop and knobs, clean the outside of the fridge, dishwasher and microwave, and scrub the sink and faucet. Small kitchens collect grease on cabinet fronts near the stove, so we wipe those too.
- Bathroom top to bottom
- Toilet, tub or shower, tile, sink, mirror and fixtures. We work on soap scum and hard water spots on glass and chrome, which build up quickly in a bathroom that gets used several times a day.
- Floors in every room
- We vacuum carpet and rugs, then vacuum and mop hard floors. That includes the edges along baseboards and the spot behind the bathroom door that usually gets missed.
- Dusting and surfaces
- Shelves, tables, window sills, light switches, door handles and ceiling fan blades within reach. We dust before we vacuum so nothing falls on a clean floor.
- Sliding door tracks and entry
- Balcony and patio slider tracks fill with grit and dead bugs. We clear them out, wipe the glass on the inside and clean up the entry area where shoes and mail pile up.
- Trash out, beds made
- We empty bins, replace liners you have on hand and make beds with the sheets that are on them, or fresh ones if you leave them out.
Signs your apartment is due for a cleaning
The shower glass stays cloudy
Water spots and soap film that do not wipe off with a quick spray have hardened. They need real scrubbing before they etch the glass.
Grease you can feel on the cabinets
If cabinet doors near the stove feel tacky, cooking grease has settled there. It holds dust and gets harder to remove each week.
Dust comes back in a day or two
Fresh dust that shows up fast usually means it is sitting on fan blades, vents and the tops of furniture. Cleaning the high spots first fixes most of it.
Your weekends go to chores
In a small place, a cleaning backlog is hard to ignore. If you keep putting it off because there is no time, a regular visit takes it off your list.
Guests or an inspection coming up
A landlord walk-through or visitors staying over are good reasons to get the place cleaned on a set date rather than rushing the night before.
How a visit works
- 1
A short phone call
You tell us the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, how long since the last cleaning and anything that needs extra time. We give you a free quote on that call.
- 2
Access and parking
We ask about the gate, the unit number, which floor you are on and where we can park. If you will not be home, we agree on how we get the key.
- 3
Cleaning, room by room
We bring our own supplies and vacuum up to the unit. We start high and work down, kitchen and bathroom first, and floors last so we are not walking over clean ones.

Walk-through before we leave
If you are home, we walk through the rooms with you. If something was missed, we fix it then. If you are away, call us after you get home with anything that needs another look.
What sets the price of apartment cleaning
The price depends on the work, not a flat guess. Size and condition matter most. We ask direct questions on the phone so the quote matches what we find when we walk in.
- Bedrooms and bathrooms
- A studio takes less time than a two-bedroom with two baths. Bathrooms add more time than bedrooms because of the scrubbing.
- Time since the last cleaning
- A unit cleaned every couple of weeks goes faster than one that has gone months. Heavy buildup may mean a deep cleaning first.
- Extras you add
- Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows or cabinet interiors take extra time and are priced as add-ons.
- Pets and clutter
- Pet hair on carpet and furniture adds vacuum time. Clearing items off counters and floors before we can clean them also adds time, so picking up ahead lowers the cost.
- How often you book
- Regular visits usually cost less per visit than one-time cleanings because the place never gets far behind.
Apartment cleaning questions
Something not covered here? (562) 620-8918
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No. Many people leave a key or give us a door code. We agree on how we get in and how we lock up during the phone call. If your building needs you to buzz us in, we plan around that.
Do you bring your own supplies and vacuum?
Yes. We carry our cleaning products, cloths, mop and vacuum up to your unit. If you want us to use a product you already have, leave it out and tell us.
What if there is no easy parking?
Tell us where guest parking is, or if there is street parking nearby. A few minutes of planning keeps us from circling the lot and keeps your visit on time.
How is this different from deep cleaning?
Apartment cleaning keeps a reasonably kept unit clean. Deep cleaning goes further into baseboards, inside appliances and built-up grime. If your place needs that first, we will say so and quote it.
Do you clean the balcony or patio?
We clean the slider track and the inside of the glass as part of the visit. Sweeping a small balcony can be added. Just mention it when you call.
How often should an apartment be cleaned?
Every two weeks works for most one- and two-bedroom units. If you cook a lot, have pets or share the space, weekly keeps the kitchen and bathroom from getting ahead of you. Our regular cleaning page has more on scheduling.
