What is included in a home cleaning?

Factors affecting the price
1. the size of the dwelling
Larger home = more time = higher cost. Most cleaning companies charge by the hour or by the square meter.
2. How often you clean
Weekly cleaning is cheaper per occasion than monthly cleaning, as there is less to do each time. One-off cleaning costs the most because the home often requires more thorough work.
3. condition of the dwelling
Pets, children and rarely cleaned homes require more work. Be honest with your cleaning company about the condition of your home to get a fair quote.
4. Geographical location
Prices can vary between Stockholm and Gothenburg, and also between districts. In general, prices are similar in Sweden's major cities.
