Help with routine apartment cleaning
PUTZIO offers routine apartment cleaning at CHF 40 per hour in supported municipalities. The cleaner brings cleaning products at no extra charge; you provide a vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket when needed. Agree on the priority tasks for the time booked.
Moving in does not turn this into a specialist deep-cleaning service. Describe the condition and ordinary tasks in advance, and keep handover work separate.
Prepare a request after moving in
Enter your address and contact details, choose an appointment at least 24 hours ahead and review the summary before paying. The request is then manually offered to a verified cleaner. Payment alone does not confirm an assignment: the cleaner must accept the job. Further visits are booked individually, without an automatic subscription or a promise of the same person.
