Apartment Cleaning Services in Los Angeles, CA
The Complete Guide to Apartment Cleaning Services in Los Angeles
Between navigating the 405 at rush hour, working long hours, and trying to enjoy everything Southern California has to offer, keeping an apartment spotless often takes a backseat. At Mayday Home Cleaning Services, we believe your weekends should be spent at the beach, exploring local farmers markets, or relaxing, not scrubbing tile grout.
If you are considering hiring a professional cleaning service in LA for the first time, you likely have a few questions about how it works, what it costs, and how to choose the right package for your layout.
As your local Los Angeles cleaning experts, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand our services, transparent pricing, and what to expect when you book with us.
Standard vs. Deep vs. Move-In/Move-Out Clean: What Do You Need?
A common question we hear from clients in Los Angeles, from cozy studios in Silver Lake to high-rise apartments in Downtown LA, is about the difference between our cleaning tiers. We tailor our services based on the current state of your home and your specific goals.
Here is a breakdown of what our team at Mayday Home Cleaning Services delivers across our primary packages:
| Service Feature | Standard Clean | Deep Clean | Move-In / Move-Out Clean |
| Best For | Routine weekly or bi-weekly maintenance | First-time clients, seasonal resets, or accumulated grime | Deposit returns or preparing a fresh move |
| Dusting & Surface Wiping | High-touch areas, surfaces, counter tops | Detailed dusting (baseboards, vents, door frames) | Comprehensive wall-to-wall & fixture dusting |
| Floors & Vacuuming | Vacuuming carpets & mopping high-traffic floors | Edge-to-edge vacuuming & under accessible furniture | Deep floor scrub, edge cleaning & vacuuming |
| Kitchen & Appliances | Exterior counter tops, sink, stove top, & microwave | Exterior appliance polish + heavy stove grease removal | Inside oven, inside fridge, & inside empty cabinets |
| Bathroom Sanitization | Scrubbing toilets, sinks, mirrors, & tub surfaces | Deep tile grout scrub & lime scale buildup removal | Full sanitization of all fixtures & tiled areas |
| Inside Cabinets & Drawers | ❌ | ❌ | Included (space must be empty) |
The Mayday Recommendation: If your apartment hasn’t had a professional cleaning in the last 3 months or if you live near busy traffic corridors where LA urban dust builds up fast, we always suggest starting with our Deep Clean. This establishes a fresh, baseline clean so our recurring Standard Clean can keep your space effortlessly maintained.
Los Angeles Apartment Cleaning Rates: What to Expect
Pricing in Los Angeles, CA depends on square footage, room layout, and special requests. At Mayday Home Cleaning Services, we prioritize complete pricing transparency with flat-rate quotes based on your bedroom and bathroom count, so you never face surprise fees.
Key Factors That Influence Your Quote:
- Square Footage & Layout: Loft spaces, multi-level townhomes, or expansive balconies require additional hands and time.
- LA Dust & Condition: Homes exposed to urban dust, pollen, or heavy pet shedding require extra detailed attention.
- Specialized Add-Ons: Need us to fold laundry, clean the inside of your refrigerator, or detail your balcony? You can easily customize your booking with individual add-on services.
Estimated LA Price Ranges
- Studio / 1-Bedroom Apartment: $110 – $175 (Standard) | $180 – $275 (Deep)
- 2-Bedroom / 2-Bathroom Apartment: $150 – $250 (Standard) | $250 – $380 (Deep)
- 3-Bedroom+ Apartment / Townhome: $200 – $350+ (Standard) | $350 – $500+ (Deep)
How to Prepare for Your Mayday Cleaning Team
Our goal at Mayday Home Cleaning Services is to make your life completely stress-free. You never need to clean before we clean! However, addressing a few quick logistics ahead of time helps our crew focus 100% of their energy on scrubbing and polishing.
- Clear Surface Clutter: Clearing away stray mail, clothes, and personal items from counter tops and floors allows our technicians to dive straight into deep cleaning surfaces.
- Coordinate Building Access & Parking: Los Angeles parking can be tricky! Please let us know ahead of time where our crew can park (guest parking space, street permit, or driveway). If you live in a gated complex or high-rise, leave entry instructions, key FOB access, or gate codes in your booking notes.
- Secure Your Pets: LA is a dog-friendly city, and we love pets! However, if your pets get anxious around vacuums or new people, securing them safely in a designated room or crate ensures a safe and smooth environment for everyone.
- Share Special Requests: Have a specific countertop material that needs eco-friendly stone cleaner? Want us to avoid a home office during a remote work call? Simply inform us before our arrival.
Trust, Safety & Eco-Friendly Care for Your LA Home
Inviting a cleaning team into your private residence requires trust. At Mayday Home Cleaning Services, we treat your space with the highest level of care and respect:
- Fully Insured & Bonded: Every member of our team is fully covered, giving you complete peace of mind while we work.
- Background-Checked Professionals: We strictly vet, screen, and train every cleaning technician to maintain superior service quality.
- Pet-Safe & Eco-Friendly Products: We use non-toxic, eco-conscious cleaning products that effectively eliminate dirt and allergens without leaving harsh chemicals or overwhelming synthetic fragrances behind, keeping your kids and pets safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you do not need to be home. In fact, many of our clients prefer to provide us with a spare key, a garage code, or a lockbox so we can clean while they are at work or running errands. If you prefer to be home, that is completely fine too! We just ask that you give our cleaners enough space to work efficiently.
We understand that life happens and schedules change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled service may incur a cancellation fee, as this time was specifically reserved for you and makes it difficult for us to reassign our staff.
We arrive fully equipped with all the necessary cleaning supplies, tools, and vacuums to make your home sparkle. If you have specific products you prefer us to use (like a specific wood cleaner or a vacuum you prefer for your carpets), just let us know and leave them out for our team.
We offer green cleaning options upon request. If you prefer us to use eco-friendly, pet-safe, and child-safe products, please let us know when booking your appointment.
Your apartment will be cleaned by our team of trained, thoroughly vetted, and background-checked professional cleaners. We strive to send the same cleaner or team to your home for every visit so they can get to know your home's specific needs and your personal preferences.
Absolutely. All of our cleaning professionals are fully licensed, insured, and bonded. This provides you with complete peace of mind knowing that you are protected in the rare event of an accident, damage, or theft while our team is on your property.
Your satisfaction is our top priority. If you are not completely satisfied with our service, please contact us within 24 hours of your cleaning. We will send a team back to your home to re-clean the missed areas at no additional charge.

Thank you Mayday Home Cleaning Services!!! I contacted this company through a referral and I am HIGHLY SATISFIED! They were punctual, professional, and kind. With work, school, and my babies I needed help. They definitely delivered outstanding services! My house has not looked this spotless since we moved in! The staff Ana and Wendy are AMAZING! I have a dog that sheds like there is no tomorrow, and they got Everything! You can't tell I'm a dog owner now. I really appreciate the attention to detail. Windows are clean and clear. Shower doors, mirrors, stove top, and counter tops all SPOTLESS. My entire home looks, smells, and feels sanitized. They even dusted areas I have neglected in a long time. 1 will be contacting them again for sure! Thank you so much once more!! I Definitely recommend them!!!

Mayday was outstanding and worth more than 5 stars!
I received a quote from Elle and she was thorough and responsive the several times I contacted her. The two professionals who cleaned my house scouted, dusted, polished and generally cleaned our place beyond our expectations. I would 100% recommend Mayday for any cleaning job.
Thanks!

So thankful for Mayday Home cleaning services! They were very easy to communicate with and the cleaning crew was very friendly and professional. I felt comfortable leaving them at my house cleaning while I went to handle a few Doctor appointments. They texted me to confirm their arrival time and accommodated me when I was running a little late to let them in. They brought their own cleaning supplies and left my house incredibly clean for my family and newborn. I will definitely be using them again in the near future. Thank you!

Thanks ladies at Mayday. I had low hopes since last company I used cancelled on me twice. I called Mayday and Ana came out and went above and beyond my expectations. They cleaned my living room, kitchen , bathtub, sinks, floors, swept, mopped, dusted, etc etc. I attached some pics but it only covers 1/4 of what they did. Recommending them to all my family. I kind of don’t want to move anything around just to preserve this squeaky clean space. Thanks 🙏

For 550 some dollars I thot I was getting a deep cleaning. I have dust on dining room chandelier, the chairs were not moved when vacuuming under the table, book shelves were not dusted . Cleaning the refrig was nothing except wiping down glass shelves . Bins at bottom were not even removed to clean bottom of refrig. The house had not been used for quite a while so I know there was a lot to do. I was told it would be guest ready. I will not be using this company again. We have been out of the country so I apologize for the delay in reviewing.
