Home cleaning in Zurich works best with a clear plan for your actual household. Use this guide to choose priorities, prepare the relevant rooms and decide what can wait for another visit.
Cleaning plans for city apartments
City apartments can vary greatly in layout. A compact flat with a busy kitchen may require more attention than a larger home that is rarely used. Make a short list of the rooms that matter most, then estimate the time based on their condition, not only on floor area.
In shared flats, make sure common spaces are accessible and private belongings are stored safely. Mention older parquet, delicate countertops or other sensitive finishes before cleaning. A clear plan is more useful than a vague request to make everything spotless.
Older and newer city apartments may have very different floors and fittings. Check the manufacturer’s care instructions before applying water or strong products to wooden or natural-stone surfaces. If one room needs extra work, name it explicitly and move a lower-priority task to the next visit. A short written order of rooms often prevents misunderstandings when several people live at the address.
Example: a cleaning plan for three households
These examples help with planning. Adjust tasks and order to your home; they are not a promise of a duration or completed scope.
| Situation | Planning example |
|---|---|
| One resident | prioritise the kitchen and bathroom, keep surfaces clear yourself and review unfinished tasks after the first visit. |
| Shared flat | one resident coordinates the booking; everyone clears their belongings from shared spaces. Include private bedrooms only by agreement. |
| Family | adults choose the tasks for shared rooms. After each visit, check whether heavily used areas need more time. |
Price and ordinary apartment-cleaning tasks
PUTZIO apartment cleaning costs CHF 40 per hour: two booked hours cost CHF 80 and three cost CHF 120. The work follows your priorities within the booked hours, such as accessible kitchen surfaces, bathroom fittings and suitable floors. The cleaner brings the cleaning products, which are included.
Have a vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket ready where needed. Moving-out cleaning, office cleaning and specialist deep cleaning are not bookable. Each repeat visit is booked separately; there is no automatic subscription or guarantee of the same cleaner.

Check the address in Zurich
Coverage is checked using the postcode and locality together. Enter the actual address of the apartment; a nearby town or a broad regional name is not enough. A supported address does not guarantee a particular date, time or cleaner.
Choose your requested date at least 24 hours ahead and review the address, hours and total price before payment.
For the booking address, use the official municipality name Zürich and its matching postcode; this page uses the English spelling Zurich.
From a booking request to an accepted visit
You can book as a guest using your contact details and the security check, or use your customer account. After payment, the PUTZIO team manually offers the job to a verified cleaner, who has 30 minutes to accept or decline.
Payment alone does not confirm a cleaner. Check the acceptance status before arranging access. If no cleaner is found, your payment is refunded in full.
Frequently asked questions
Does a weekly routine create a subscription?
No. Book every visit individually and check its acceptance status. A preferred routine does not guarantee the same cleaner.
How should a Zurich shared flat prepare for cleaning?
Agree on which common rooms are included before booking. Clear the shared kitchen and bathrooms, but leave private bedrooms out unless the residents agree. Tell the cleaner whether older floors or finishes require special care, and keep everyone’s personal documents and valuables secure.
Which equipment should I prepare?
The cleaner brings the products. Prepare a vacuum cleaner, mop and bucket where needed, and clear the surfaces agreed for cleaning.
