A good cleaning quote does not start with the price, but with a clearly described order. The more precisely the area, state, date and desired work are specified, the easier it is to compare quotes from different cleaning companies.
This guide shows what information should be included in an application, what points you should check in the quote and how you can avoid additional costs. For specific price guidelines, the page Cleaning costs Switzerland remains the central cost source.
What information does a cleaning company need?
First describe the object and the desired end state. Particularly important are:
- Property type and approximate square footage
- Number of rooms, bathrooms and additional rooms
- Type of cleaning: move-in cleaning, flat cleaning, office cleaning or other service
- Desired date or period
- Condition: normal, very dirty or particularly stressed
- Windows, blinds, balconies, basements, garages or other additional areas
- Special requirements such as Acceptance Guarantee, if desired
Photos of the kitchen, bathroom, large windows or visible dirt can help to better estimate the effort to in advance.
What should a cleaning quote contain?
Compare Not just the final amount. A helpful quote should describe the scope of services so you can see what is included and what is excluded.
- Which rooms and areas will be cleaned
- Windows, frames and blinds: included or separate
- Cleaning materials and products: included or extra
- Travel, parking costs and possible supplements
- Date and expected process
- Price form: flat rate, hourly or other billing
- Additional Work Rules
- when cleaning a move: Scope of an agreed receipt guarantee
Read the guarantee carefully receipt
The term “receipt guarantee” is understood differently depending on the company. So specify in writing what will happen in the event of a complaint, whether follow-up cleaning is included and how quickly the company can respond. A guarantee of acceptance does not replace a clear description of the service.
This is how quotes become truly comparable
All suppliers should, if possible, receive the same initial information. If one company includes windows and blinds and another only includes flooring, kitchen and bathroom, the final prices are not directly comparable.
So create a short checklist in advance and check the same points for each quote. For moving cleaning you can find additional information under Moving cleaning.
Typical errors in cleaning requests
- The living space or number of rooms is missing
- Windows, balconies, cellars or garages are not included
