Hourly Cleaning: Flexibility That Pays Off
With an hourly booking, you agree on a time budget and prioritise tasks within it. At PUTZIO, the booked duration is paid at CHF 40 per hour before cleaning. This is not a promise to complete every possible task regardless of condition.
Advantages of Hourly Cleaning
- Control over the time spent and thus over the costs.
- Ideal for smaller apartments or specific cleaning needs.
- Ability to adjust priorities during the cleaning.
- Transparent billing: you know exactly what you are paying for.
Disadvantages of Hourly Cleaning
The challenge is estimating the hours needed. If the task list is too long, lower-priority jobs remain unfinished. Agree on an order and discuss any extra time before additional work is promised. The booking summary shows the agreed budget.
Flat Rate Cleaning: Clarity and Budget Control
A fixed price relates to agreed tasks and conditions. Check exactly what is included and how extra requests, heavy soiling or follow-up cleaning are handled. A fixed price does not automatically include a handover guarantee. PUTZIO offers only routine apartment cleaning for booked hours.

Advantages of Flat Rate Cleaning
- A price stated in advance for the expressly agreed scope.
- A task specification for comparing quotes.
- Clarify extra tasks and exclusions in writing beforehand.
Disadvantages of Flat Rate Cleaning
Less flexibility in adjusting the scope of cleaning during the assignment.
Potentially higher costs if the actual working time is shorter than the time calculated for the flat rate.
May be less cost-effective for very small apartments or only specific cleaning needs.
Choose a suitable time budget at PUTZIO
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.
For recurring help, book visits individually. Decide which everyday tasks take priority within those hours. Specialist or deep cleaning is not an additional bookable PUTZIO package.
