Family cleaners based in the Bronx

Old Bronx buildings hold dust in hidden places

A lot of Bronx housing went up long before anyone owned a vacuum with a good filter. Prewar apartment buildings sit next to brick row houses and older wood frame homes, and each one collects dirt its own way. Radiators hold a layer of dust that smells when the heat comes on the first cold night. Old plaster sheds fine grit, and wood floors trap dirt in the gaps between the boards.

Winter is the hard season here. Road salt and slush come in on every boot, dry into a white crust by the door, and get ground into wood and tile. Summer brings heavy, humid air, and kitchens and bathrooms with small windows stay damp in older buildings. A deep cleaning in the Bronx has to deal with both, the salt film on the floors and the grime that builds where air never moves.

So we start by looking at the place and asking what it needs. A move in cleaning on an empty apartment is a different job from a deep cleaning in a home where people live every day. We tell you what we plan to clean before any work starts. If you ask for eco friendly cleaning, we write that on the estimate and use those products for the whole job.

• Radiators and baseboards wiped down by hand
• Salt film cleaned off floors near the door
• Kitchen grease cleaned off cabinet fronts
• Bathroom tile and grout scrubbed clean
• Empty apartments cleaned before you move in

We clean up after renovation work

Renovations never stop in the Bronx. Owners gut old kitchens, landlords redo apartments between tenants, and storefronts put in new floors. Then the contractor leaves and the dust stays behind. Drywall and plaster dust is so fine it settles on every ledge and gets inside cabinets and vents. Wipe it with a dry rag and it is back the next day, because you only moved it around.

Post renovation cleaning takes more passes than a regular clean. We vacuum the loose dust off surfaces first, then wipe them with damp cloths so the dust gets lifted instead of smeared. Window tracks, the tops of door frames and the inside of new cabinets all get done. Paint spots and sticker residue come off the new fixtures. Dust that gets left behind ends up in the air you breathe.

The same care goes into commercial cleaning for Bronx offices and storefronts. A business on a busy avenue fights street grit coming in the door all day, and in winter that grit is mixed with salt. We clean offices and commercial spaces across the five boroughs, and the Bronx is where we are based. Tell us how your space gets used and when it sits empty, and we plan the work around that.

We are a family business in the Bronx

PBL Cleaning Industries is family owned and operated, and our base is on Arlington Avenue in the Bronx. That is where the crew starts the day before heading out to a job. When you call, you are talking to a family business, and the owners have their own name on every job. We clean in the same borough where we live and work.

From here we cover the five boroughs of New York and Long Island. Our work falls into five services: commercial cleaning, deep cleaning, post renovation cleaning, eco friendly cleaning and move in cleaning. That list is what we do. If you need something outside of it, we will tell you plainly instead of taking a job we are not set up to handle.

We do not have any Google reviews yet, so you will not find a star rating for us there. The best way to judge us is to ask questions before you book. Ask what the estimate covers and which products we plan to use in your space. A good cleaning company should answer that on the phone, and we put the answers in writing.
