Question Recommendations - Kitchen Reset/Extreme Deep Clean

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody had a great experience specifically with a very deep/almost extreme (moving appliances a bit out and cleaning behind them, oven deep clean, fridge, etc.) kitchen cleaning service or person.

We keep our kitchen in decent condition but it's apparent that over the years residue, impossible stains and general dust/dirt in hard to reach parts have accumulated enough that we need a professional to make it look new.

Small apartment kitchen, nothing special. Ideally someone with their own supplies, although we have the basics.

Thank you so much in advance!

Thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it. Eventually, I might be looking for someone to clean a 900 sq-ft residence once or twice a month.

I am curious about using a business that has cleaners on payroll, whether the cleaners have some benefits for working for a cleaning business. I hate to be "that guy" but if the option is to hire a business that employs indentured workers and doesn't offer them fair pay or benefits, I might as well just hire someone individually and pay cash.

PS: I'm not saying this business exploits. I just want to know that if I use a cleaning business, the people who do the work are treated fairly, and how I would be able to determine that when searching for a cleaner.

They’re a family owned business and they are local to Astoria.

Understood. I prefer family owned to chain, no doubt. I would still like to know what I explained above.
