The size of an apartment is a useful starting point for a cleaning estimate, but it does not describe the whole job. A lightly used home, a property needing a thorough clean and an apartment just renovated can have the same floor area and require different work.
Before comparing prices, describe the cleaning you need. Is it a routine visit, a deeper clean of neglected areas, or removal of dust and residue after building work? Are windows, upholstery or appliances part of the request? A clear scope makes a quoted total easier to understand and avoids comparing unlike services.
Indicative pricing from the client’s archived catalogue
The authorized GetaPro archive contains the following apartment-related figures. They are indicative pricing, drawn from the archived client catalogue, rather than a current guaranteed tariff or fixed package.
Standard apartment cleaning: €2–4 per m².
General or deep apartment cleaning: €3–6 per m².
Post-renovation cleaning: €3–8 per m².
Window washing: €3–5 per m².
Household appliance cleaning: €25 per hour.
Final pricing depends on size, condition, requirements and complexity. Confirm the present quotation, what area is being measured, what is included and whether materials, travel, taxes or other charges are applicable before agreeing to work. The archive does not establish those inclusions.
A window rate refers to the relevant window-cleaning area, rather than automatically using the apartment’s floor area. An hourly appliance-cleaning figure is also a different basis from a square-metre apartment rate. Adding all of these numbers together without defining quantities would give a misleading estimate.
Use a sample calculation carefully
For a 50 m² apartment, applying the archived standard-cleaning range gives €100–200. Applying the archived deep-cleaning range gives €150–300. These are arithmetic illustrations of the published ranges, not quotations for a particular apartment.
They do not show whether a particular property fits the category, which tasks will be included, how long the visit will take or whether additional work is needed. Use the illustration to ask better questions, then request a property-specific assessment.
The difference between the low and high ends should not be treated as a menu choice. You cannot determine the job’s complexity simply by choosing the cheapest point in a range.
Explain the condition of the property
Send a few clear photographs of the kitchen, bathroom and main rooms, plus close-ups of areas needing particular attention. Describe when the apartment was last cleaned and whether it is furnished, vacant or recently renovated. Mention heavy deposits, marks or delicate surfaces rather than leaving them to be discovered on arrival.
Photographs can help prepare a quotation, although they do not reveal every condition. Access, the amount of furniture and the actual surfaces involved may need further discussion. A short honest description is more helpful than calling every task “a normal clean.”
If you want only selected rooms or tasks, state that explicitly. Cleaning the whole apartment and addressing a kitchen and bathroom only are different briefs even when the property size is the same.
Keep extra tasks visible in the scope
The archived catalogue distinguishes residential cleaning, furniture cleaning and commercial cleaning. It also lists individual tasks such as window washing, carpet cleaning and appliance cleaning. This suggests asking about each requested task rather than assuming it is part of a standard apartment visit.
Are windows included, and which surfaces will be cleaned?
Is upholstery or carpet treatment needed?
Which appliances require attention?
Should cupboards be cleaned inside, outside or both?
Are there areas that should be left untouched?
Will furniture or stored items limit access?
These are questions for defining your job, rather than a checklist of automatically included services. See the cleaning service catalogue for the business’s documented service areas.
Distinguish routine cleaning from post-renovation work
After renovation, fine dust can remain on ledges, doors, fittings and furniture as well as floors. Protective coverings and work residue may also need attention. Explain what work was done, whether contractors have finished and which materials are new.
Do not book the final clean while dust-producing tasks are still planned unless you are deliberately requesting an intermediate visit. Read our post-renovation guide for a practical handover checklist.
New finishes may have care instructions or curing requirements. Share those before cleaning so the method can be discussed for the actual surface. A more intensive product is not automatically suitable just because the apartment has undergone building work.
Request a quotation you can check
When asking for a price, include the location, approximate size, type of clean, condition and any extra tasks. Say whether the apartment is occupied and explain access arrangements. If you have a preferred date, provide it as a request rather than assuming availability.
Ask for a written description of the agreed work and the price basis. That gives you something practical to compare and a clear reference for the visit. Request a quote with your photographs and task list, then confirm the scope before accepting it.
