  • If the handover fails, the firm re-cleans free of charge within 5 working days.

  • Applies to defects within the agreed scope, reported within 48 hours together with the handover protocol.

  • A firm that does not re-clean loses its badge on SwissOfferten.

The handover guarantee means: if the property manager objects to the cleaning at the handover of the flat, the cleaning company comes back and re-cleans free of charge until the handover is accepted. Covered are cleaning defects found at the handover. Not covered is damage to the substance of the property or damage caused by the move, for example scratches in the parquet or holes in the wall. For the guarantee to apply it has to be put in writing in the offer.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Guarantee

What is the handover guarantee on SwissOfferten?
The handover guarantee is a cleaning firm’s written commitment for your job: if the flat handover fails with the landlord or agency, the same firm re-cleans free of charge. The firm confirms it through SwissOfferten, either directly when it buys your request or with one click once you have hired it. We record that confirmation as a guarantee certificate, show it to you next to the firm name, and enforce it: a firm that does not re-clean loses its badge, and on repetition its access to the platform. The guarantee is a promise by the firm, not a payment by SwissOfferten.
How does the guarantee work?
The handover guarantee works in three simple steps: first, you request a move-out cleaning with a handover guarantee; every firm that takes on your request confirms the guarantee for this job before you decide. Second, you report any defects within 48 hours after the cleaning, with the handover report, directly to the firm or via SwissOfferten, ideally with photos. Third, the firm corrects the reported issues free of charge within 5 working days. The handover guarantee applies to move-out cleaning.
How long does the guarantee apply after the job is awarded?
Defects must be reported within 48 hours of the cleaning. The free touch-up is then completed within 5 working days of the report.
Does the guarantee apply to every firm?
Yes, for every move-out cleaning with a handover guarantee: a firm can only take on your request if it confirms the handover guarantee for this job, individually or permanently for its profile. You see the confirmation on your status page, next to the firm's name. Before booking, also ask for the commercial register entry and proof of liability insurance.
