WHITE GLOVE ELITE
39 W. 32nd St.
212-684-4460

The professional neat freaks at White Glove maintain a staff that’s not only meticulous but articulate and entertaining—unsurprising, given that a number of struggling actors work here by day. More important, they don’t shy away from hidden surfaces or nooks, and they straighten up as well as deep-clean. (Objects you haven’t seen in months may miraculously reappear.) One of our correspondents reports that the guy who arrived to clean also handled a computer crisis and fixed the stereo, though you probably can’t expect that of everyone. ($19 per hour for weekly or biweekly service; $22 per hour for one-shot calls.)
