Move-Out Cleaning Prices

The price for a move-out cleaning with guarantee of acceptance theoretically depends on many factors. "Theoretically" because many cleaning companies can no longer afford to conduct on-site inspections and therefore offer a flat rate. The cleaning companies then calculate a mixed bill, where some contracts are profitable and others are not. Every year, we facilitate thousands of apartment cleanings and house cleanings throughout Switzerland, which gives us a clear picture of the prices in the industry, which we are happy to present to you here.

Price Factors

1. Apartment Size / Number of Rooms

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

2. Number of Bathrooms

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

3. Degree of Dirtiness

   Degree of dirtiness: This should ideally be a price factor, but it is increasingly neglected because cleaning companies often no longer conduct inspections.

4. Window Sizes

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

5. Blinds

   There are generally two different types of blinds: the older, flat blinds, or the newer venetian blinds. Venetian blinds are naturally much more labor-intensive to clean.

6. Price Comparison

   It may sound silly, but price comparison is indeed a price factor. If you simply contact the first cleaning company without obtaining comparative quotes, it can be a significant cost factor. Even the best cleaning institute may not schedule the cleaning appointment at the right time, so they may not make much effort to provide you with a good offer. Our tip: Get 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 it is hard to imagine how one can operate reasonably under such circumstances. That is why we have provided guideline prices for cleaning with a guarantee of acceptance on our platform, with the help of our partners, which we recommend to the users of the platform. Offers for professional end-of-tenancy cleaning below these indications should be viewed with caution. If you look at the actual prices at which cleaning is done, you will quickly see that most companies still clean move-out cleanings below the guideline price. If you submit a cleaning request for your move-out cleaning on our platform, you will receive non-binding offers for comparison.

Professional Move-Out Cleaning of Your Apartment

The cleaning of your old apartment with a guarantee of acceptance largely depends on the number of rooms. At the moment, a cleaning company often provides a non-binding quote without inspecting the apartment beforehand. However, we recommend scheduling an appointment with the company for an accurate quote. 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 low. To ensure that fair prices continue to be paid, we recommend a guideline price of CHF 1200.00 for this apartment size. The fact is that professional cleaning companies always deliver your apartment with a guarantee of acceptance at the quoted price, even if the move-out cleaning could have been significantly 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.
