Top Housekeepers related questions

Housekeeping costs in New York City can vary depending on the size of your home, the type of cleaning, and how often you book. House cleaning services in the U.S. often range from around $15 to $45 per hour, with higher rates for deep cleaning specific rooms.

Yes, many Taskers in New York offer same-day housekeeping, depending on availability and how early you post your task. In high-demand areas like Manhattan and Brooklyn, Taskers are used to flexible, last-minute bookings, but posting earlier in the day usually gives you more options.

According to Airtasker’s data, demand for residential cleaning in New York City peaks in March, driven by the seasonal spring cleaning rush as the weather starts to warm up. In contrast, July tends to be the quietest month, as many residents travel or spend more time outdoors.

If you’re looking for better availability or potentially quicker bookings, scheduling during the slower summer months can make it easier to find a Tasker.

Manhattan has the highest number of Taskers, roughly three times that of other areas. Brooklyn follows, with steady coverage in Queens and the Bronx. While Staten Island has fewer Taskers, you can still find help across all five boroughs.

What does a housekeeping service include?

Housekeeping services can include one-off services or regular domestic tasks (daily, weekly, or fortnightly), from cleaning and cooking to even home maintenance. Your housekeeper will bring along all the products and equipment they need to clean and maintain your home - all you need to do is tell them what you need to be done. Here’s how they can help:

Cleaning 

The most common housekeeping service involves cleaning. This could include general cleaning, like vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and bathroom cleaning. Or it might include detailed cleaning tasks like couch, curtain, floor, fridge, and rug cleaning. Depending on the number of tasks you’d like your housekeeper to complete, they may clean for just an hour or up to the entire day. Your housekeeper will discuss a time convenient for you, the tasks you need to be done, and the timeframe it should take to complete these tasks. If needed, they can bring their own cleaning supplies, like a vacuum cleaner and feather duster. 

Organizing and tidying 

Many housekeepers offer professional organizing services, where they help organize and tidy all areas of your home. This includes desks, filing cabinets, stationery, linen, wardrobes, toys, kitchen cupboards, garage interiors, and more. They’ll pull out all the items, organize them by category, and help you choose what you should keep, donate, or bin. They’ll also help by recommending suitable storage solutions to help you keep your home tidy for longer.


Cooking 

Some housekeepers are available to help with cooking in your home. They might prepare a few snacks or help prep several meals ahead of time, so you don’t have to worry about cooking. Your housekeeper will present menu and recipe options for you to choose from and use your ingredient and kitchen supplies for cooking everything in your kitchen. Once they’re done, they’ll store the freshly cooked food (with heating instructions) and clean up any mess.


Laundry

Washing and ironing starting to pile up? Housekeepers can also help with the laundry by putting on loads of washing, hanging clothes, loading the dryer, folding washing, ironing, and even putting it away. They’ll check the care labels to ensure appropriate washing/drying methods are used before starting the process. With some extra help, you’ll be all caught up on the laundry in no time.


Home maintenance

Many housekeepers are skilled in basic household maintenance tasks. But if they’re unable to do the job themselves, they’ll help organize and oversee skilled contractors who can help do repairs and maintenance in and around your home.
