Key questions about end-of-tenancy cleaning

Maybe you’re looking for a new apartment, or you want to move in with your partner. Comparis provides information and tips on the subject of property, apartments and moving home.

How thoroughly you need to clean your apartment and what your landlord means by “clean” can vary greatly. Clarify with the landlord whether you need to do a deep or superficial clean. If the landlord plans to renovate you don’t need to clean as thoroughly (link only available in German).

Don’t have time to clean the apartment to professional standards – or simply don’t feel like it? In Switzerland, countless cleaning companies offer this service. Find out about prices and the issue of the acceptance guarantee in good time.

The prices of cleaning companies vary depending on the size of the apartment and the amount of work to be done. If you want to do the cleaning yourself, you’ll need the right tools to clean the oven, stove and fridge/freezer. Cleaning windows is also time-consuming. The garage, basement, attic, letter box and parcel box are often forgotten.

End-of-tenancy cleaning

Whether you take on the task yourself or hire professional cleaners, you should take note of these important tips.

Cleaning floors

Cleaning the floors is often the most time-consuming activity. You should therefore carefully consider what the landlord requires. If the apartment only needs to be swept clean, you can save a lot of time here.

Window cleaning

When it comes to cleaning the windows having the right tools is important, as is choosing the right time. Wait until you’ve moved out before cleaning the windows, along with the rest of the apartment. If there is a window that opens onto a terrace or balcony, start with this one.

The most efficient way to find a cleaning company is online. Get quotes from a range of companies and compare their rates and services. With Comparis, you can request free, non-binding cleaning quotes. We’ll then pass on your enquiry to our moving partner, topmovers.
