Woman-owned. Wellness-focused. Thoughtfully designed.
Zen Home Cleaning was founded by Deanna Hains, a designer and wellness advocate who wanted a service that matched her values: natural products, intentional service, refined results. When she couldn’t find it, she built it herself.
As a woman-owned business, our work is built around harmony, quality, and care. That’s why everything is chosen with purpose, from the products we use to the people we hire. Our NY clients trust us not only because we’re experts in move-in and move-out cleaning, but because we care about their homes the way they do.

Whether you’re looking for detailed move-in or move-out cleaning, thorough regular cleaning services, or one-off apartment cleaning service, our work is always done with gentle, plant-based products. No harsh chemicals, just fresh air and soft botanical scents you’ll love.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is move-in/move-out cleaning?
Move-in/move-out cleaning is a comprehensive service tailored for people who are preparing to leave their old home and settle into a new one. It’s meant to leave your old space spotless for the next residents or give you a truly fresh start if you’re the one moving in. It creates the perfect environment for the future occupants to move their furniture in and start unpacking.
Our NY team specializes in cleanliness with a Zen twist, so feel free to give us a call—we’re here to make your move easier and relieve you of stress.
How is move-out cleaning different from regular cleaning?
A move-out cleaning service is all about making the place look like no one ever lived there. It’s designed to tackle every corner and every surface, all in order to get the space move-in ready. It helps prepare New York homes for new tenants and enables previous tenants to meet their lease requirements.
Should I clean before moving into a brand-new or newly renovated home?
Absolutely! Even if your new place is fresh off a renovation or newly built, there’s likely to be construction dust, leftover materials, or stains from doing the finishing touches. Similar to post-construction cleanings, our move-in cleaning ensures every surface, nook, and cranny is ready for you to settle in. It helps remove any traces of the construction process or previous occupants, giving you peace of mind and a safe, comfortable space from day one.
How long does move-in/move-out cleaning usually take?
The time move-in/move-out cleaning takes depends on the size of your home and how much needs to be done. No matter where you are in New York City, a smaller apartment, like a one-bedroom, might take 3 to 5 hours. But if you’ve got a bigger place—say, a multi-bedroom house—it could easily take much longer. Things like the level of maintenance, the number of appliances, and whether furniture is still inside can also affect how long the process takes.
