I can't say anything about their cleaning services since I ended up cancelling, but I will say that their customer service was 1 star. The only reason they have 2 stars is that Sam was quite responsive in the evening when I reached out to schedule a cleaning for the following morning. So when I first reached out, Sam said their earliest availability was 10 AM, I said that was okay, but if they could come earlier, it would be even better. As you can see in the attached photo, Sam then offered 9am, which I agreed to, and even confirmed a second time that my appointment was set for 9am. The next morning, it's a bit past 9am, and nobody's here yet. I called Sam and he tells me that he never changed my appointment to 9am, despite me asking him a second time for confirmation. He says that the earliest someone can get there is 9:45 (not sure about this because this was a few weeks ago, but the point is that the cleaner does not come by that time). I ask him to please confirm that the cleaner will be here by then, and he says yes. A few minutes later, I get a text from Sam saying that the cleaner won't be there by 9:45 after all. At this point, I couldn't risk them being any later since I had other things to do that day, so I called Sam to say I had to cancel. He then tries to absolve himself of any blame and said something nonsensical like that the appointment was supposed to be for 10am. Anyways, the call ends because he hangs up on me while I'm mid-sentence, so there's that. Unprofessional behavior. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Smart Cleaning - Home Cleaning Near Me

Terrible. Hired these people to clean an EMPTY 1 bedroom apartment. I'm a real estate agent and my client found them on yelp. We had just had the bathroom renovated and it was pristine.They claimed to be here for 6 hours (doing what I do not know). No surfaces had been cleaned, window sils and built in book case still had construction dust. The oven was gross. The fridge hadnt been cleaned. My client complained and they came back for two hours. Total of 8 hours paid work and this is what the oven looked like. Ridiculous. Outrageous really. No wonder they were more affordable. Less than one star is what they deserve...for coming back and still not doing it right. read more

Smart Cleaning - Cleaner just left in there AFTER their 2nd visit. - Home Cleaning Near Me

See all

Can't recommend smart cleaning's services enough - I've used them 4 or 5 times now and every time I'm left extremely satisfied with their work. They are always thorough, and have an amazing attention to detail (dust behind tv, they clean surfaces I wouldn't even realize needed cleaning), they take the extra mile to take trash and recycling out and clean dishes too. They are friendly and always have same week availability. I'm amazed at how clean they leave my apartment especially given that I have a chocolate lab who sheds A LOT. Will continue to use them monthly now! read more

I wholeheartedly endorse Smart Cleaning and Dimitri in particular for the first time I have ever used Smart Cleaning this past Nov 2022. He did a 5 star job taking great care and working in a detailed way to make our place sparkle! I have decided to have them come once a month as long as I get Dimitri. Katherine B read more

Booked one day in advance and got easily accommodated. Sam is very responsive. I was in a time crunch so did not have I limited time. I got a promotional offer in which I got a 5 hour cleaning service and paid for 4 Even then the first cleaner who arrived took almost three hours to do our kitchen. He did it extremely well. Since I did not have unlimited time Sam offered to come and join. He was extremely fast on his job and within 30 more minutes our living studio was done. Overall I'm happy with their service and will use them again. read more

Sam is terrific! He's been cleaning our apartment for a year and a half. He's super-professional, great at communicating, dependable, and flexible. Plus, he and his team do a great job cleaning. Highly recommended. read more

Dmitri from Smart Cleaning is an absolute gem. He cleaned my apartment so thoroughly it was the cleanest I've seen it since I've moved here! I have two cats, and a lot of accumulated dust, but his meticulous deep clean made me feel like I was actually breathing better in my apartment. Thank you, I will definitely be booking for standard cleanings from now on. read more

Sam and Smart Cleaning came out and did an awesome job on some messy NYC windows. When he left, they were so shiny and done thoroughly--screens, tracks and frames as well as the glass panes. Very impressive, they are super responsive and easy to book. Highly recommend them for cleaning services and looking forward to the next service. read more

I use this company for Airbnb cleanings and they do an excellent job for just a two hour cleaning. They also wash the sheets and towels and they're great about letting me know if I'm running out of supplies. Would definitely recommend! read more

Marsel was very good. He has a good eye for order. His energy is upbeat. I would recommend this cleaning service.

I've used them for five years now and honestly they're reliable ... always on time (and if not they Would text me). they let me set a list of things For them to focus on which is helpful both ways read more

Excellent cleaning service - very responsive and professional, cleaners are hardworking and really nice! They always do a beautiful job!

They did such a nice job on my apartment! They showed up on time and stayed in the time window as promised. Will be booking again. Highly recommend read more

Amazing job! I recently had floors and sheetrock /patch work done in my apartment by a family member. Clean up was brief (and not part of the deal) so there was still a ton of fine, powdery dust. On every surface! I spoke to Sam and was able to book Greg the next day. The day of, I was late getting home but Greg patiently waited outside the building. Once inside, I showed him a few areas that needed cleaning. He did way more than I expected and went above and beyond!, wiping off all surfaces, books, game boards, etc. He was extremely thorough and worked fast! My bathroom looks amazing!! This was a great deal as well, very affordable! I did pay for making him wait but still affordable for a single mom of 3! Happy with the service. I would recommend and use again! read more

BUYER BEWARE -UNPREPARED CLEANER AND AGGRESSIVE OWNER We just had a VERY STRANGE interaction with Arminev, our cleaner for our apartment. He was disheveled and unprepared.   When he arrived he had only a dirty cleaning rag and a spray bottle, no real cleaning materials and was using our TOILET PAPER to wipes down the bathroom. He placed my toothbrush FACE DOWN on the toiled. He was in our apartment for 8 minutes total, when I asked him to leave. In response to the owners inaccurate response below. An adult was at the apartment while your 3rd party person was there. Your person did not have supplies nor asked for paper towels. Know this - if a woman is asking a dirty guy to leave the premises there is an issue at hand. I suggest you vet your people properly. read more

Sam showed up earlier today to help us with a massive problem: our power had gone out while we were away and our fridge was a MESS. Most cleaning teams didn't even consider our job but the Smart Cleaning Crew stepped up big time. The team was very professional and did a thorough job. Per the quality and price it is a great deal for NYC cleaning. read more

With all 5 star reviews I decided to give them a try for deep cleaning a vacant apartment focusing on kitchen and bathroom. All communication with Sam was and seamless. Unfortunately the cleaner (Sergei) not only did not meet our expectation, he was rude and defensive. He did not bring the appropriate cleaning supplies to conduct some basic cleaning tasks and argued how we expected him to clean, "with my fingers." Although Sam was apologetic and did not charge us for this cleaning or rather lack there off, we would caution others. It was important to us to have the cleaning done timely and although Sam offered to send some the same night at 7pm I was too afraid to risk another debacle. We rolled up our sleeves and cleaned ourselves. read more

Been using smart clean for a while now and they are great. Friendly, professional, and leave my apartment nice and clean!

Terrible customer service! I tried to speak with their service to get help with clarity on booking; After several messages and a call to a service and a booking, it all fell through. That is why I'll never book with this company. read more

Just wow! We quickly realized we wouldn't be able to get everything done before the movers were supposed to arrive. I took a chance and contacted Sam at SmartCleaningNYC and was THRILLED when he could give me an appointment on very short notice. Sam asked the appropriate questions and was upfront about pricing, time, etc. Greg arrived on time and did excellent work. He worked from beginning to end and the results were better than expected. We would definitely use them again. read more

I booked last minute for a cleaning the next morning and Sam was quick and responsive. Dmitry showed up on time and was quick and kind and professional. Did a great job in the apartment. read more

My expectations were far exceeded! I truly appreciated overwhelming effort and deep cleaning done to my duplex apartment. I was concerned initially when only one person showed up to clean it, but he was extremely nice and he stayed until he got the job done. The owner also ensured I would not be charged more than what was originally quoted even if he had to stay longer and stayed true to his word Appreciate the great job done and the excellent + communicative customer support. Bravo, Smart Cleaning NYC! My apartment is sparkling clean now read more

Natalie, If you're reading this, great job with the deep clean. Especially the floors and bathroom! To Sam, exception communication during and after work hours. Couldn't be happier with the service and response time. Wishing you all much success! read more

Update: I have read this yelp response from the company. Just to be clear: I absolutely did book a cleaning with this company in March. I am not confusing them with another company. I did not confront the cleaner because she was at the end of her time and quickly leaving but I did privately email the company the day after simply to let them know about my experience before this review. I did receive a reply from Sam Pastukhov, which didn't say very much except to tell me that they were sorry but based on the pictures he saw, I clearly needed four hours if I wanted my one bedroom apartment to be fully cleaned, which it was not. Like I said in my email to them, a breakdown in communication is a way greater issue than an incomplete cleaning. Further update: The company just responded to me again and completely mixed me up with someone else. I certainly did not book four hours for my tiny apartment. I did not refuse to pay for extra time. In fact I was not offered extra time. I did not ask for a discount. I was not offered a 10% discount. So... they are not responding to me but to some other clearly more dissatisfied person. read more

I moved out of my apartment and needed a good cleaning in the empty apartment. Not only was Sam (Assume he is the owner) so friendly and easy to get in touch with, but was reasonable with the costs for this job. The apartment looked SPOTLESS - his guy did such an incredible job and brought all the supplies downstairs as requested. So pleased. Look no further, there are a lot of unreliable, over priced cleaning companies on Yelp so don't hesitate. read more

I've known Sam since we lived in our old apartment back before Smart Cleaning NYC was in inception. He's always been very professional, accommodating and polite, and now that his company has grown, you can tell that his team shares the same values. They always do a great job. Of course, in general it would be best to be present for the session so you're able to supervise. All in all, I highly recommend Smart Cleaning NYC! Plus, they are in support of the LGBTQ+ community. read more

Communication was exceptional, and Sam (the owner) was also the person cleaning our place. I'd highly recommend them-- they also book by hourly rate, and not flat, so I would call for a quote. They were able to come to our place, and were on time and extremely efficient. Sam came by himself to clean and help, and it was wonderful. He came with a mask and gloves and was able to thoroughly clean our bathrooms and rid it of grime, as well as cleaned out our kitchen so well. We would highly recommend Smart Cleaning NYC for a last-minute clean. They did a wonderful job! read more

We loved Smart Cleaning NYC so much we had them come a second time. The first time Sam worked with Eugene. The second time Sam came with Greg. Both times they showed up right on time. We are in the middle of a gut renovation and didn't want to move back in without a deep clean first. Their pricing is reasonable, they worked quickly and efficiently and their work was amazing. We want them to come back a few more times since the renovation isn't all the way complete and dust is inevitable for some time (even after completion). We would absolutely recommend SCNYC. read more

Smart Cleaning nyc was incredibly responsive and I was able to book last minute. My roommate and I were so pleased with a cleaning as well! Apartment looked so nice and fresh. (Cleaner did really great job in our bathroom. Love it!) We definitely recommend it and absolutely will book again. Thank you guys for helping us! read more

Sam provided a move in cleaning of my two bedroom/two bathroom apartment. It had been recently renovated and never thoroughly cleaned after the renovation. Sam cleaned inside every cabinet, closet, windows (inside and out plus tracks), and the floors. The apartment is approximately 1100 sq ft. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time of 10am. We went over what exactly I wanted cleaned. Then he went straight to work. He finished at 230pm and charged $220. I chose Sam based on previous reviews and I was not disappointed. Thank you fellow Yelpers! read more

Sam performed a deep cleaning of our apartment and I must say? It hasn't been this clean since we moved in! All the pandemic dust is gone, the fixtures sparkle, and the whole place feels brand new. Highly recommended! read more

I did a search for cleaning near 11385. This service came up. I began exchanging messages on Yelp to book an appointment. I was sent a link to book an appointment. I decided to call to clarify a few things. When I spoke to someone on the phone and began explaining the level of work needed, I was told they did not not service my area and it all fell through. read more

Sam is the most thorough and detail-oriented cleaner we've ever used. He shows up on time, is professional, and takes steps to ensure you're always delighted. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for the best clean in NYC! read more

I was truly impressed although he needed more time to complete the task. Overall I was pleased with the result!

Terrible and aggressive owner. Do not use them, period. Just read the other reviews, buyer beware! My situation: 1. I booked for Sunday but the confirmation showed a Saturday. Their website is also confusing and may have caused the wrong scheduling. 2. I called to tell Owner I had an emergency and need to reschedule 3. Owner says "I'm playing games" instead of trying to understand my situation. I assume he thought I was trying to get out of the schedule cleaning but I genuinely had an emergency situation at home. 4. Owner wanted to charge $40 fee for rescheduling which I thought was odd considering I scheduled the cleaning for Sunday (24 hour advance notice). Additionally, I wanted to add more scope to an already $400 cleaning bill for a 1 bedroom! 5. Overall, the owner jumped to conclusion and did not try to understand the mixup. As a fellow business owner, words matter and don't attack people for reaching out with legitimate concerns! 6. Moral of the story is that the owner was insensitive and could have made $600 dollars if he was wasn't a jerk off the bat. read more

they are not reliable they have "no shows". they accepted our appointment but never showed up
