How much does a move-out cleaning cost in Switzerland?
A professional move-out cleaning in Switzerland costs around CHF 450 to 2,000 depending on the size of the home, its condition and the canton. For a typical 3.5-room apartment, expect around CHF 1,000 to 1,350 on the Swiss average, roughly CHF 850 to 1,650 depending on the canton; larger homes of 5 rooms or more can reach CHF 1,400 to 2,000. Per square metre, budget roughly CHF 11.50 to 16, towards the upper end in expensive regions such as Zurich or Zug. With an acceptance guarantee, the company re-cleans free of charge if the property manager does not accept the cleaning, which protects your rental deposit; have the quote confirm in writing that it is included. The background is Swiss tenancy law: under Art. 267 CO, tenants must return the apartment in the condition they received it, minus normal wear and tear. Windows, kitchen, bathroom and limescale removal are part of the standard scope. On SwissOfferten you receive several free quotes from vetted move-out cleaning companies in your region.
