Move-out cleaning / final cleaning
The move-out cleaning with handover guarantee applies to the empty flat before handover: fixed price, list of services and written rectification of defects. In Zurich, dates around the end of the month and the peak moving season are often tighter; express surcharges may increase the price.
In Zurich and the surrounding area, cleaning prices can be higher than in more rural regions, depending on the provider, location and date. The table shows Switzerland-wide guideline values - for Zurich it is best to compare several quotes with identical scope of services.

| 1–1.5 rooms | CHF 350–700 |

City of Zurich vs. agglomeration
In the city of Zurich, wage and parking costs for cleaning companies tend to be higher - this is reflected in the quotes.
