Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Cleaning Service in New York City, NY
Airbnb Cleaning $75 to $250 per turnover. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
An Airbnb turnover cleaning in New York City is a complete reset of a short-term rental between guests (linens changed, kitchen and bathrooms cleaned, supplies restocked, the unit staged for the next arrival), priced flat per turnover by bedroom count. A guest notices fresh bedding and clear counters the moment they walk inside, which is why hosts who live elsewhere, co-hosts, and managers with several units book a clean to keep standards high. You get a crew scheduled inside your check-out to check-in window and a message when the unit is ready. This page also covers the short-term rental rules a host here has to handle and the nearby cities we cover.
How much does an Airbnb cleaning service cost a host in New York City?
Most hosts in New York City pay about $75 to $250 per turnover, around $150 on average, set by bedroom count and how much the rental needs. Independent cleaners often quote by the hour, while we quote a flat price per visit so the total is known before anyone arrives. A flat price covers the essentials needed before your next guest arrives: linens changed, kitchen surfaces wiped down, bathrooms cleaned, trash removed, supplies restocked from your storage, and the space staged. Certain extras are priced separately: handling a hot tub, managing a pool, or taking care of heavy laundry adds about $25 to $55 per clean, and a full deep house cleaning is booked as a separate visit. Same-day turnovers that fit inside your check-out to check-in window are the normal way to schedule an Airbnb cleaning service. Your quote for an Airbnb cleaning is always free and itemized for each short-term rental you manage.

Short-term rental rules in New York City: what a host has to handle
Hosts operating a short-term rental in New York City must complete a registration with the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement under Local Law 18 of 2022. This Short-Term Rental Registration requires a $145 non-refundable application fee plus a small payment processing fee. The registration is not transferable, and renewal applications are expected to begin in October 2026. Hosts must also collect and remit the New York state lodging tax, which is the 4% state sales tax on hotel occupancy that expressly applies to every short-term rental. Cities and counties across the state can add their own registration requirements and local taxes, so hosts should always check official local government sites to stay compliant. You can review broader state guidance on our New York Airbnb cleaning page.
