Wizard Of Homes

Silvia is amazing! She did an extraordinary job in deep cleaning for our apartment. I was truly impressed and grateful for the amount of time and effort she put in this! She took her task very responsibly and seriously and delivered the best results. I would strongly recommend this service and Silvia to anyone who is looking to have a cleaning scheduled.

You are probably reading this review right now because you need a cleaning service. Your next step is asking for Zsoltne from Wizard of Homes! I had Zsoltne for a deep cleaning and it was literally a miracle!
In general, the apartment is pretty decent but the shower was grungy and grey w/​mildew, and microwave, and oven were particularly grungy/​dirty. (They were already grungy when we moved in… and of course daily use doesn’t help.) In the case of the shower, I had tried to clean it every which way I could think of but nothing would work. Then Zsoltne came! Let me tell you: after she left the the tub and shower walls looked like we had practically replaced them with a new bathroom!!!
Previously I had tried handy because the low cost tempted me… but everything they did I could have done by myself, nothing really looked that great afterwards from handy. However, with Zsoltne/​Wizard of homes, they are WORTH EVERY CENT and are a great value for how clean the place looks afterwards.
So happy with the Wizard of Homes service!

I have used WOH for the past 6 months and they have done a great job. They are flexible and accommodating from a scheduling stand point and its always great coming home to a very well cleaned apartment. Sylvia does a great job!

Finding a good housecleaning service in New York City is a bit like Spinal Tap finding a drummer: pretty much impossible. Well, that is, unless you’re one of *those* people in New York who goes to Equinox, has everything delivered to your condo by Postmates, and pays $ 200 per week for a Brazilian body builder to scrub your toilet and bake you flan. And sure, more power to you; who doesn’t love flan? Or Brazil? However, if you’re looking for something more within the price range of mere mortals, sans Brazilian flan, it’s a pretty desperate situation out there. Except for Wizard of Homes. There is a reason they are FIVE STARS with 185 REVIEWS! Brazilians don’t bake me flan, but I’m vegan anyway, and my Portuguese is pretty shite.
What else can I say? In general, I really like that Wizard of Homes recommends that clients start their service with a mandatory deep clean; it makes a lot of sense from a variety of perspectives. More importantly, they are extremely responsive via email and text, even if they don’t have a flashy website like Handy, the worst cleaning service in the known universe (and possibly even the unknown universe; hard to say since it’s *unknown*). My «Wizard» Sylvia is always on time, and she does a very good, thorough job. Everything is smooth and reliable. No one changes our schedule; I get the same person every week. Oh, and they take payment via Venmo. What else needs to be said? FIVE STARS with 185 REVIEWS.

These guys were absolutely incredible. They did a deep clean of my apartment. It was so awesome I then had them do a deep clean of my girlfriend’s apartment as a surprise (she was out of town for work). Just perfect top to bottom. It’s not just that the cleaning was awesome (it was) or that the two wizards were super personable (Anne-​Ly and Simo – they both were), but that booking (quick e-​mail) and payment (Venmo!) was totally painless.
Cannot recommend them highly enough. Just two suggestions: (1) Book early. More than two weeks out – they are super popular and so they fill up quickly. You can always do what I did and hope to get lucky with cancellations, but that’s obviously not ideal. (2) Make sure to have a 6-​pack of paper towels if you’re doing the deep clean. Their e-​mail mentions this, but I missed it and only had a single roll.

We’ve never had a cleaning service before. I hesitated because I thought we’d have to clean house first (clutter, not dirt, is our biggest problem), and because it seemed too expensive. Yesterday was a revelation, and we can’t wait for Maria to come back! Not only is everything clean and shiny and perfect, but she tidied up amazingly. (We paid for an extra hour of organizing.) She stacked books and papers in logical order, organized the dresser inside and out, and attractively arranged the decorative tchochkes that had been buried in the mess. She even found a lost earring in the bathroom! (Which shows how thoroughly she must have cleaned behind the toilet and under the vanity.) This was the «deep clean», including the inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, the fan blades, etc. etc. (I think she would also have washed the windows if it weren’t freezing cold.) The apartment feels bigger now that it’s so clean and tidy.
Don’t let the great reviews scare you off — Wizard of Homes is much more reasonably priced than I feared. We’re signing up for the biweekly service. The owner is a pleasure to deal with: everything is arranged and confirmed by email and text message. I think you can even pay by venmo, though we just gave Maria cash. The owner also told me (because I asked) that Wizard’s cleaners are legal to work here, pay taxes, and keep 80% of what you pay them plus tip. Wizard will bring organic cleaning products if that’s what you want, but they’re also willing to use old-​school Clorox and Fantastic if you prefer and provide them (we do).

After too many terrible experiences with Handy, I decided to give Wizard of Homes a try. And I’m so, so happy I did! I scheduled a deep cleaning for my 1BR apartment to kick off the new year, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
The cleaning was easy to book via email — Kadi is extremely responsive — and everything that the deep clean included was detailed and explained to me. My cleaner, Maria, was friendly, prompt and professional. And best of all, she did an absolutely amazing job. It was such a pleasure to arrive home from work in the evening and come back to such a clean home. I honestly don’t think my home has been this clean in the 2+ years I’ve lived here.
I’ll absolutely be booking monthly cleanings via Wizard of Homes from now on. It’s worth the money.

I needed my first ever house cleaning and chose Wizard of Homes based on the great reviews. I must say that the experience was awesome. My Wizard was Marge and she was very prompt, friendly and thorough! I had a deep cleaning for my studio apartment. Areas which I thought couldn’t be brought back to life were. This was suppose to be a one time thing but I’m even contemplating the biweekly service now. Definitely recommend the company and particularly, my wizard Marge. Another huge plus was I was able to schedule a next-​day appointment!

Manhattan cleaning services suck. Everyone knows that. And finding a good one is right up there with trying to find a dentist. But this one is seriously the best and trust me, I’ve looked.
I needed a deep clean because I was dealing with pet allergies. This is the only service I’ve found that in the cleaning description, they say they will move furniture in order to clean. The baseboards, doors and walls have been scrubbed, the bathtub is bright white, there isn’t a piece of dust to be found. I’m literally in awe. You have to pay extra for a vacuum (I didn’t) but I didn’t need to, they got every last speck!
$ 200 for my very large two story one bedroom. Egert (my wizard) came right on time and well prepared. He cleaned for a full SIX HOURS. You’ll text or email with the owner before — no calls — but she’s super responsive and detailed. She will send everything over, be sure to read through. You’ll need paper towels for the cleaner and you’ll need to pay in cash or via venmo the day of.
Worth every single penny.

My cleaners Marge and Rene, were very quick and efficient. They were incredibly meticulous in cleaning my home. The price was also probably the most competitive out of all the different services that I’ve seen. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!

I moved into an apartment that hasn’t been cleaned in several years. Lusia was assigned the job, and I am SO HAPPY that she’s the one who came to clean! She performed way above our expectations: she worked really hard and achieved amazing results. I initially hired Wizard of Homes for 4 hours of deep cleaning (by the hour). The apartment was really dirty after so many years of neglect, and when it became clear that we would need more time to do all the cleaning we needed, Lusia was fortunately available and she graciously agreed to stay longer – it turned out to be 3 additional hours of work. Lusia worked tirelessly the entire 7 hours. On top of everything else, Lusia was really friendly. I highly recommend Wizard of Homes in general and Lusia in particular! Before/​after of the kitchen stove is attached!

In preparation for a house guest, I hired Wizard of Homes for a five-​hour details cleaning of my bathroom and kitchen. This was an extravagance for me, but I can say it was worth every penny.
Orsolya was early for her appointment and stayed late. She was both professional and pleasant to be around, and, by the end of the session, the kitchen and bathroom were spotless. This is no small feat considering the age of my apartment. Orsolya fulfilled all the special requests I made and then some, going as far as cleaning the cleaning supplies themselves (dustpans, brooms, plastic bins, etc.). But what stood out most was her response when she discovered a leak underneath our kitchen sink that had been hidden due to the fact that the cabinet was overcrowded. She handled the (very gross) situation professionally and graciously, helping me to assess the situation and figure out what I needed to ask my super to provide. It was a very upsetting discovery, as I get very squeamish, so I am particularly grateful for her assistance and guidance.
Overall, this was a positive experience for me. I’ve learned the value of getting a deep clean by professionals and I can’t recommend Wizard of Homes (particularly Orsolya) enough.

I couldn’t be happier with how absolutely clean and spotless the folks at Wizard of Homes cleaned my apartment before I moved in. They got every single spot, every crevice, and they were extremely professional. Chris Nigul, Martin Parna and Egert Press cleaned my apartment, and I was very pleased with their work. I would use Wizard of Homes again!

I’ve had the Wizards do both a move in/​post construction clean and, more recently, a standard deep clean. I have never seen our apartment look so beautiful!
Honestly, I can be pretty picky, and I couldn’t find a a single thing they missed either time — the bathroom literally sparkled like a jewel and there was nothing left untouched or un-​dusted. An all around fantastic job.
Special shout out to our most recent wizard, Orvi — she is super thorough, detail oriented, and so sweet — just amazing! She even left cute little touches around the apt when she tidied up — total rockstar :)
There really is a peace of mind that comes with having everything in it’s place. When you’re harried and busy, a service like this is really worth it.
It’s easy to book and they’re very quick @ getting back to you. It can be tricky to schedule an appointment since they’re so popular — book early or be flexible!

I’ve tried several apartment cleaners in the past and Wizard of Homes far surpassed its competition. Incredibly thorough. My highest recommendation.

I’ve used Wizard of Homes a couple of times and have been really happy with the professionalism, friendliness, and quality of service! Would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for home cleaning.

I found Wizard of Homes from all of the Unilocal reviews here. I had an appointment today and they totally lived up to their 5 star reviews.
I have lived in my place for many years. And until recently! I’ve been traveling for work many months. Being away made me realize how much I needed to do to make this place a «home. AAANND my place NEEDED a hard core cleaning. As I look around at my apartment right now, it doesn’t even look like my apartment anymore. It’s SPARKLING! It’s SHINING! My place is so old I wasn’t sure if it had the potential to sparkle or shine at all.
I made my appointment 2 weeks ago when I was out of town. Wizard’s communication typically happens via text and email. There are ways to leave a voicemail or request a call back but again most of the communications occurs through text and /​or email. At first I was like «ahhhh but what if i have a zillion questions? What if I need a live person to speak to?» I got over that real quick. Egle answered my emails and my questions within minutes of sending them. The various of levels of cleaning provide a wide variety of choices. As I mentioned before, my place needed a DEEP CLEAN… like a dentist flossing and scrubbing all of your teeth! I needed some extra loving care in my kitchen so I opted for some extra services (i.e. going behind the fridge, going behind the oven). The service agreement they send you is VERY VERY detailed. They provide a lot of information that is well worth reading through and highlighting. They offer a variety of methods to pay. They request that you pay at the time of service and if you wish to provide a tip you may do that after the service. As long as you provide 4 to 6 rolls of paper towels, trash bags and a vacuum, they’ll take care of everything else.
My appointment was set for 9 a.m. today.Sunday. Marge was assigned to me and she was phenomenal! She was prompt, pleasant and just overall terrific. My place is petite one bedroom. And I thought the standard 5 hours would be way too long for Marge to clean it. But she took her time because, like I said, my place needed a deep clean. She even called me mid way to let me know she needed additional time. And she texted me when she was finished. I was not charged for the extra hours. Again. the place looks like it had a facelift.
I am not in a doorman building so I let Marge in and told her to just shut the door behind her. I felt very comfortable with her being in my place alone. She was professional and the girl can CLEAN. I texted her back to tell her what a great job she did. She was so grateful. It’s comforting to know that folks have real pride in their work. And it shows!
Let’s just say that if I moved out tomorrow, a person can move in here and they wouldn’t feel like anyone live here before them at all.
I highly recommend Wizards. It was worth the investment. I’ve never had a cleaning service before. I didn’t know what to expect as far as time, how they did everything, how the transaction works etc. Wizards took care of everything so well the whole process was seamless. Although I hope I can maintain my apartment to the shape it’s in now, I plan to have Wizards visit in the future.
And an extra 5 stars for Marge! Thank you Wizards of Home.

Wizard of Homes performed a move-​out cleaning for our furnished Manhattan studio apartment, and all went smoothly, with great results.
I wasn’t able to be there while they worked, but Egle – the coordinator for the two cleaners, Isabela and Simo – was in constant communication via text message, and the team was very conscientious in ensuring that the job was done to my preferences.
Seeing the results later on, I was stunned that the apartment could be so clean – I hadn’t seen it in such pristine condition even when I moved in.
A great cleaning organization.

I cannot recommend Wizard of Homes enough. Today Izabela came to clean my home and, just like Renata, she is such a kind woman who did a great job as well! It is amazing that Wizard of Homes has two such phenomenal employees, let alone one.
Also have to mention that they have been wonderfully understanding and helpful when I needed to reschedule. So happy I found this company — thank you Unilocal

Have been meaning to write a review since Orvi came to our apartment about one month ago. She was kind, professional, hard-​working — arrived on time.
She really gave the apartment a deep clean. I usually find so many areas left untouched after a cleaner has left — dust on light bulbs — and lamps and tons of other surfaces — greasy feel above hood range etc…
But Orvi really got it all. Felt like she was cleaning my place like it was her own.
Exactly what you would expect/​hope a real cleaner should be but unfortunately she appears to be a rarity these days.
I will definitely be asking for her the next time I call for a cleaner. Thank you Orvi!
