Move-Out Cleaning Prices

The price for a move-out cleaning with a guarantee of acceptance theoretically depends on many factors. "Theoretically" because many cleaning companies can no longer afford an on-site quote inspection and therefore offer a flat rate. The cleaning companies then do a mixed calculation, where one job is worthwhile and another is not. Every year, we facilitate thousands of apartment cleanings and house cleanings throughout Switzerland. This gives us a clear picture of the prices in the industry, which we are happy to present to you here.

Price Factors

• Apartment Size / Number of Rooms

  The main factor that cleaning companies use to calculate the base price.

• Number of Bathrooms

  A bathroom naturally requires much more cleaning effort than a regular room. Therefore, this is also a significant price factor.

• Degree of Dirtiness

  This should actually be a price factor, but it is increasingly neglected because cleaning companies often no longer conduct inspections.

• Window Sizes

  The size of the windows makes a big difference in the duration of the cleaning. The many very large windows in modern apartments require much more time to clean than the few small windows in old buildings.

• Blinds

  There are basically two different types of blinds: the older, flat blinds, or the newer venetian (slatted) blinds. The venetian blinds are, of course, considerably more labor-intensive to clean.

• Price Comparison

  It may sound silly, but price comparison really is a price factor. If you simply turn to the first cleaning company that comes along and do not obtain comparative quotes, this can be a very significant cost factor. Even with the best cleaning institute, the cleaning appointment may fall at the wrong time, so they do not make much of an effort to give you a good offer. Our tip: Obtain at least 3 comparative quotes.

Move-Out Cleaning Prices

The easiest way to compare apartment cleaning prices is by the number of rooms in the apartment.

Explanation of the Price Overview

The cleaning industry is struggling with low wages and undeclared work. The prices are sometimes alarmingly low, and one can hardly imagine how a company can operate reasonably this way. For this reason, with the help of our partners, we have published guideline prices on our portal for cleaning with a guarantee of acceptance, which we recommend to the users of the portal. Offers for a professional end-of-tenancy cleaning below these figures should be viewed with caution. If you look at the actual prices at which cleaning is performed, you will quickly see that most companies still carry out a move-out cleaning below the guideline price. When you submit a cleaning request for your move-out cleaning on our platform, you will receive non-binding offers to compare.

Professional Move-Out Cleaning of Your Apartment

Cleaning your old apartment with a guarantee of acceptance largely depends on the number of rooms. A cleaning company currently often gives you a non-binding quote without having inspected the apartment beforehand. For an accurate quote, however, we recommend scheduling an appointment with the company. An end-of-tenancy cleaning with a guarantee of acceptance for a 4.5-room apartment costs around CHF 1000.00, although this is rather too low. So that fair prices continue to be paid, we recommend a guideline price of Fr. 1200.00 for this apartment size. The fact is that professional cleaning companies always hand over your apartment with a guarantee of acceptance at the quoted price, even if the apartment cleaning should fundamentally have been somewhat more expensive.

The main factors that drive up the costs of a move-out cleaning or end-of-tenancy cleaning are the dirtiness of the kitchen, bathroom, and windows.
