Cleaning Costs Switzerland 2026

The comprehensive price overview for all cleaning services in German-speaking Switzerland, by canton, cleaning type and square meter.

How much does cleaning cost in Switzerland?

The cost of cleaning in Switzerland depends on the type of service, the size of the home and the canton. As rough guidance: a move-out cleaning (end-of-tenancy cleaning) costs around CHF 900 to 1,300 for a typical 3.5-room apartment, a one-off apartment cleaning CHF 100 to 180, and the hourly rate of a cleaning company ranges from CHF 30 to 55. Per square metre, expect roughly CHF 11 to 16 depending on the effort involved. Prices are highest in Zurich, Zug and Basel, and lowest in cantons such as Thurgau or Schaffhausen. For move-out cleaning, an acceptance guarantee adds 20 to 30 percent: it ensures the company re-cleans free of charge if the landlord rejects the handover and protects your rental deposit, which is often several thousand francs. On SwissOfferten you receive several free, no-obligation quotes from vetted cleaning companies in your region and compare prices directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Switzerland?▼
Move-out cleaning in Switzerland costs on average CHF 450-700 for a 3-room apartment. The price depends on size, condition and region. With acceptance guarantee, expect CHF 500-750.
What is the cheapest canton for cleaning?▼
The cheapest cleaning prices are found in rural cantons like Thurgau, Schaffhausen and Uri (approx. CHF 2.30-3.30 per m²). The most expensive is Canton Zurich (CHF 3.50-4.50 per m²).
How much does a cleaner cost per hour in Switzerland?▼
A legally employed cleaner costs CHF 28-35 gross per hour. Including social contributions and holiday surcharge, effective costs are CHF 33-43 per hour. Cleaning companies charge CHF 35-55 per hour.
How much does deep cleaning cost per m²?▼
Deep cleaning in Switzerland costs CHF 3-6 per square meter for medium soiling. For heavy soiling, costs can rise to CHF 8-15 per m².
Is professional cleaning worth it?▼
For move-out cleaning, hiring a professional is almost always worthwhile due to the acceptance guarantee. For regular household cleaning, it depends on your income and time budget. The savings from doing it yourself are often overestimated.
How much does a move-out cleaning with acceptance guarantee cost?▼
A move-out cleaning with an acceptance guarantee costs around 20 to 30 percent more in Switzerland than a cleaning without one. For a typical 3.5-room apartment, that means roughly CHF 550-900 instead of CHF 450-700. The guarantee obliges the cleaning company to re-clean free of charge if the property management does not accept the apartment at the handover. This surcharge almost always pays off: a failed handover can lead to deductions of several hundred to thousand francs from the rental deposit. Especially in cantons such as Zurich, Basel and Geneva, where property managers inspect strictly, the guarantee is practically essential. Make sure it is stated in writing in the quote. On SwissOfferten you can compare cleaning companies that offer an acceptance guarantee free of charge.
How much does regular apartment cleaning cost?▼
Regular apartment cleaning (maintenance cleaning) typically costs CHF 100-180 per visit in Switzerland, depending on the size of the home, the frequency and the region. The hourly rate is usually between CHF 30 and 50. Weekly or fortnightly cleaning often benefits from lower hourly rates than a one-off cleaning. A 3.5-room apartment is usually cleaned in 2 to 3 hours. It is important to hire a legally registered cleaner or company: with private employment, social-insurance and accounting obligations apply in Switzerland. A professional company handles these formalities and is insured. On SwissOfferten you receive free quotes for one-off or recurring apartment cleanings from vetted providers in your region.
