Moving out in Zurich? Then you’re probably facing a move-out inspection — and in Switzerland, landlords expect everything to be spotless.
Here’s how to avoid stress and get your full deposit back, including a handy cleaning checklist.
Why Move-Out Cleaning Matters in Zurich
In Zurich, a proper end of tenancy cleaning is part of the rental agreement. If anything isn’t clean:
You might be asked to re-clean
Or lose part of your security deposit
The solution? Either clean it perfectly yourself or hire professionals — like HouseHelper.ch — who offer a handover guarantee when it is agreed in the quotation.
What Landlords Check During Inspection
Windows & window frames
Kitchen: oven, stove, fridge
Bathroom: toilet, sink, shower
Floors, walls, heaters, switches
Doors, corners, skirting boards
Balcony or basement (if included)

✅ Degrease and descale kitchen
