Here you can see what is included at HouseHelper.ch room by room, what counts as an extra and what the price depends on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e8f5e9;padding-top:16px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:16px;padding-left:20px\"><strong>Quick enquiry:<\/strong> Send your location, preferred date and 2\u20133 photos via WhatsApp to <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/41787471514\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+41 78 747 15 14<\/a>.

You can find the guide prices on our page <a href=\"https:\/\/househelper.ch\/umzugsreinigung-zurich-2026-preise\/\">Umzugsreinigung Z\u00fcrich: Preise &amp; Checkliste<\/a> (in German).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is included \u2013 room by room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact scope is agreed with you before the job. A one-off flat cleaning typically includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Clean the worktop, sink and taps<\/li><li>Hob and outside of the cooker<\/li><li>Wipe cupboard fronts and handles<\/li><li>Outside of appliances (fridge, dishwasher, oven, extractor hood)<\/li><li>Vacuum and mop the floor<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bathroom and WC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Toilet inside and out<\/li><li>Washbasin, shower and\/or bath<\/li><li>Taps and mirrors, limescale removal<\/li><li>Tiles in the splash zone<\/li><li>Clean the floor<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Living room and bedrooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dust freely accessible surfaces, shelves and furniture<\/li><li>Windowsills and light switches<\/li><li>Vacuum and mop floors<\/li><li>Mirrors and glass surfaces at eye level<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entrance and general<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wipe doors and door handles<\/li><li>Outside of the wardrobe and shoe rack<\/li><li>Empty the bins<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We bring our own cleaning products and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional extras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tasks take considerably more time and are therefore agreed separately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Inside of the oven<\/strong> including trays and racks<\/li><li><strong>Inside of the fridge<\/strong> \u2013 ideally emptied beforehand<\/li><li><strong>Windows<\/strong> inside and out, including frames<\/li><li><strong>Extractor hood filters<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Inside of cupboards<\/strong> (useful when they are empty)<\/li><li><strong>Balcony or terrace<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is not included<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Laundry, ironing or tidying away personal belongings<\/li><li>Moving heavy furniture<\/li><li>Disposal of bulky waste<\/li><li>Repairs<\/li><li>Heavily cluttered flats (hoarder cases), death scenes or biological hazards \u2013 specialised companies are responsible for these<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What determines the price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no flat rate for a one-off flat cleaning, because every flat is different. Four factors are decisive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Size:<\/strong> number of rooms, floor area, number of bathrooms and WCs<\/li><li><strong>Condition:<\/strong> when was it last thoroughly cleaned? How much limescale and grease is there?<\/li><li><strong>Extras:<\/strong> oven, fridge, windows and other additional tasks<\/li><li><strong>Date:<\/strong> preferred day, time and lead time<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 2\u20133 photos of the kitchen, bathroom and the most-used room, we can realistically assess the workload and give you a concrete quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checklist: how to prepare for the cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Note down the scope and extras you want<\/li><li>Roughly clear floors and surfaces<\/li><li>Empty the fridge if it is to be cleaned inside<\/li><li>Put away valuables and important documents<\/li><li>Mention delicate surfaces (natural stone, oiled wood, high gloss)<\/li><li>Arrange access: be present or hand over a key<\/li><li>Let us know about parking or how to find the building entrance<\/li><li>Keep pets safely out of the way during the cleaning<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service area and opening hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We clean throughout the canton of Z\u00fcrich, with a focus on the city of Z\u00fcrich and the left bank of Lake Z\u00fcrich: Wollishofen, Enge, Kilchberg, R\u00fcschlikon, Thalwil, Oberrieden, Horgen and Adliswil.
