Cleaning Guide: Costs, Cleaners & Move-Out Cleaning

At Putz24 a cleaner costs CHF 39.95 per hour (excl. 8.1% VAT). This includes wages, social security, insurance, a replacement if your cleaner is absent and all the organisation. You only pay for the hours actually worked.

See the exact price for your home in the price configurator.

A regular cleaning usually takes 2 to 3.5 hours per visit. It depends on the size, the number of rooms and bathrooms. Our configurator calculates like this:

*Guide prices excl. VAT, as of October 2026. Your exact price depends on your details.

For a 3.5-room flat cleaned weekly you pay around CHF 430 per month (excl. VAT). That is about 4.3 visits of 2.5 hours each. If you choose cleaning every 2 weeks, the cost is roughly halved.

You are invoiced once a month for the hours actually worked. Calculate your own guide price with the cost calculator.

The price depends on the number of windows, their height and extras – not on square metres. In the window configurator you choose the window type (standard, sliding window, glass surfaces), the height (no ladder, up to 2 m, over 2 m) and extras such as frames, window sills or shutters. The price is shown immediately.

A move-out cleaning at Putz24 has a fixed price. It depends on living space, rooms, bathrooms and floors. You add extras such as oven, fridge, windows or carpet. The handover guarantee costs CHF 250 extra and is optional.

You see the fixed price incl. VAT in the move-out cleaning configurator.

Caretaking at Putz24 costs from CHF 50 per rental unit – as a fixed monthly fee. The exact amount depends on the number of flats, floors and the services you need (e.g. gardening or winter service).

The hourly rate of CHF 39.95 excludes VAT. 8.1% VAT is added. VAT is clearly shown in every offer and invoice.

Yes. You get a regular cleaner who comes to you on a fixed schedule. This way she knows your home and your wishes. During holidays or illness we arrange a replacement whenever possible.

She cleans floors, surfaces, kitchen and bathroom. On request she also takes care of extras such as the fridge, oven or some windows. Tell us when booking what matters most to you.

Weekly, every 2 weeks or several times a week – you decide. You choose the weekdays and time window (between 6 am and 6 pm) in the configurator. For homes and offices we only offer regular cleaning, no one-off visits.

In private homes you provide cleaning products, cloths and equipment such as the vacuum cleaner. For offices we agree on it together: either you provide the materials, or Putz24 brings them for an extra charge.

No. Many customers hand over a key. On request we manage the keys and work with a digital checklist.

If you employ a cleaner privately, yes – then you are the employer. You have to register her with the compensation office, pay social security contributions and take out accident insurance, even for small workloads.

With Putz24 you don't need to. The cleaners are employed by us. We take care of wages, AHV (Swiss social security), insurance and replacements. You simply receive one invoice.

Yes, all Putz24 cleaners are fully insured and legally employed. There is no undeclared work.

At Putz24 cleaners earn between CHF 26 and CHF 30 gross per hour. Proper social benefits are added. Fair wages mean happy employees – and consistent quality in your home.

With undeclared work you carry the risk: if there is an accident in your home there is no insurance, and back payments and fines may follow. With Putz24 everything is legally settled, and there is a replacement if your cleaner is absent.

With the handover guarantee we clean again free of charge if the property management finds something at the handover. On request we also accompany you to the handover. The guarantee costs CHF 250 and is optional.

All rooms, kitchen, bathroom and WC are cleaned thoroughly. You can add cellar, attic, conservatory or balcony as well as extras such as windows, oven, fridge, cupboards inside or carpet.

Ideally a few weeks before you move out. In the configurator you choose the cleaning date and the handover date. We then confirm availability.

We always discuss extra work with you first. Additional costs only arise once you agree. So you stay in control of the price.

• Empty the flat completely – including cellar, attic and balcony.
• Agree the handover date with the property management.
• Plan the cleaning so it is finished before the handover.
• Have all keys ready.
• Note the meter readings (electricity, gas if applicable).

No, we charge per window. What counts is the number and type of windows, their height and extras such as frames or shutters. That is easier for you because you don't have to measure anything.

Yes. Window cleaning is available one-off or regularly – for example monthly, quarterly or every six months.

As a rule of thumb, 2 to 4 cleanings per year are enough for a private home. For shops, shop windows or homes on busy roads, more frequent cleaning is worthwhile.

Yes. Depending on the height we use a ladder or a telescopic pole. The extra time is calculated automatically in the configurator. We also clean glass surfaces, conservatories and shop windows.

Whenever it suits your business – for example early in the morning or in the evening. We adapt frequency and time window to your working day.
