Average cost for a cleaning company (per turn)
A cleaning company provides professional cleaning of homes, offices and business premises. This includes regular cleaning such as vacuuming, mopping, sanitary cleaning and dusting, but also specialist work such as major cleaning after a renovation or move. Professional cleaners work with industrial resources and equipment that allow them to work faster and more thoroughly than you would do yourself.
The costs of a cleaning company depend greatly on the type of service. Regular household cleaning costs 25 to 40 euros per hour. A one-off major cleaning for an average home (80-120 m2) costs 150 to 350 euros. Office cleaning starts at 30 euros per hour, while specialist cleaning such as after fire or water damage is considerably higher. For regularly recurring cleaning you usually get a lower hourly rate.
The price is determined by the surface area, the degree of pollution, the desired frequency and the type of space. An office with a lot of glassware and sanitary facilities takes more time than a simple living room. The time of day also plays a role: cleaning in the evening or weekend can be more expensive. Commercial cleaning is often concluded on an annual basis, which results in a lower rate per service.
With regular cleaning, a cleaner comes weekly or biweekly for standard maintenance. This costs an average of 25 to 40 euros per hour. A one-off major service is more intensive and includes deep cleaning of the kitchen, bathroom, interior windows and all floors. Count on 150 to 350 euros for an average home. After a renovation, the costs are higher due to construction dust and extra pollution.
Take out a subscription for a lower hourly rate. Prepare the room by tidying up so that the cleaner can get started right away. Combine multiple services at the same company. Always request at least three quotes and compare not only on price, but also on what exactly is included.
