Top 5 Cleaning Tips for Brooklyn Apartments (From the Pros at Crystal Clear Crew)
Living in Brooklyn means enjoying vibrant neighborhoods, historic brownstones, modern apartments—and sometimes small, clutter-prone spaces. Keeping your home fresh and organized doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The cleaning professionals at Crystal Clear Crew, Brooklyn’s trusted eco-friendly cleaning service, share their top five expert tips to help you maintain a spotless home year-round.
1. Maximize Space With Smart Decluttering
Brooklyn apartments often have limited square footage, so clutter can build up fast.
Before cleaning, do a quick 10-minute declutter:
- Pick up loose items
- Fold blankets and clothing
- Clear off counters and tables
- Put mail and papers into one tray
Why it matters: Decluttering first makes cleaning faster and more efficient—especially in tight city spaces.
Pro Tip: Use vertical storage like shelves and wall hooks. It keeps everyday essentials accessible without crowding the floor.
2. Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
Crystal Clear Crew is known for using safe, eco-friendly products that protect you, your pets, and your home.
Harsh chemicals can damage surfaces and irritate allergies—something many New Yorkers want to avoid.
Here’s what to look for in green cleaners:
- Non-toxic
- Biodegradable
- Low or no VOCs
- Plant-based ingredients
You can even create simple natural cleaners at home using vinegar, lemon, and baking soda.
3. Deep Clean High-Touch Areas Weekly
High-traffic apartments, roommates, or busy family life?
Focus on areas that collect germs and grime quickly:
- Light switches
- Doorknobs
- Faucet handles
- Remote controls
- Counter edges
- Appliance handles
These spots often get overlooked, but they make a big difference in keeping your home feeling fresh.
4. Rotate Cleaning Tasks Each Week
Keeping up with everything at once can be overwhelming, especially in fast-paced Brooklyn life.
Instead of trying to clean your entire home in one day, break it into rotating tasks:
Week 1: Kitchen deep clean
Week 2: Bathroom scrub + tub shine
Week 3: Dusting + wiping all surfaces
Week 4: Floors, carpets, and baseboards
This keeps your apartment consistently clean without devoting an entire weekend to chores.
Pro Tip: Set a 20-minute cleaning timer each day. You’ll be amazed how much you can accomplish.
5. Schedule a Professional Deep Cleaning Every 3–6 Months
Even the most organized Brooklyn resident can’t reach every corner.
A professional deep cleaning ensures:
- Dust-free vents and radiators
- Sanitized bathrooms
- Grease-free kitchen appliances
- Clean baseboards and molding
- Fresh carpets and upholstery
- Streak-free windows
- All those tricky hidden areas are covered
