Apartment, garage and basement cleaning in Warsaw

Apartment, garage and basement cleaning: cost and what affects it

The cost is based on the size of the area, how dirty it is, and what kind of space needs cleaning. Post-renovation work is more demanding: construction dust gets everywhere, from cornices to power sockets. A full clean in an occupied flat is easier, but there is still plenty to do. Garages and basements are another matter: they often need bulky waste taken out. Consumables are included. Waste removal is charged separately. You can find current prices in the table below.

Apartment, garage and basement cleaning: how the job goes

1. You say so in the order the scope: what kind of space it is, the area, and what exactly needs to be cleaned. Send photos.
2. The technician reviews the workload and gives you an estimated price.
3. Timing depends on the tradesperson you choose: they give the arrival time in their offer.
4. On arrival, the technician checks the space and begins with the dirtiest section.
5. Large waste is packed into bags, and furniture is moved if needed.
6. Dust is removed with an industrial vacuum, and surfaces are wiped.
7. Final inspection: corners, shelves, windowsills: all clean. Waste is taken out.

Common mistakes when cleaning on your own

• Mopping the floors before dust is removed from higher surfaces: the dirt only gets spread around.
• Using a standard household vacuum after renovation — the filter blocks up in 5 minutes, and the motor gets too hot.
• Leaving construction dust inside sockets and switches: the contacts fail later on.
• Throwing construction waste into ordinary plastic bags, they rip and leave rubbish all over the hallway.
• Skipping the tops of wardrobes and cornices — the dust drops back down again after a few days.
• Not airing the place out while cleaning: you end up breathing in fine dust particles.

What to prepare before the technician arrives

• Decide on the scope: a full deep clean or only waste removal.
• If there are bulky items to be thrown away, say so in the order beforehand.
• Make sure there is access to water and electricity.
• Take valuables and delicate items out of the work area.
• Decide what stays and what gets discarded (especially in basements and garages).
• Say so in the order whether there is a lift and what floor the flat is on.
• Mention any allergies to chemicals — they can use neutral products.
• Send the intercom code and parking details.
• If it is post-renovation cleaning, say what work was carried out.
• Free up as much floor area as you can.

Case study: post-renovation cleaning in Ursynow

A two-room flat, 48 m² — after a complete renovation: new floors, freshly painted walls, replaced doors. Construction dust had settled everywhere: windowsills, sockets, even inside the wardrobes. Tradespeople began with a Karcher industrial vacuum, every surface was done from top to bottom. After that, they wiped down the walls, skirting boards, and window frames with a damp cloth. Sockets and switches were blown through with a compressor. Floors: first vacuumed, then mopped twice. In the kitchen, they scrubbed the tiles to get rid of grout residue. All waste — 8 construction bags: was carried down to the skip. The whole job took 5 hours. The client said the result was better than expected, the flat looked ready for a catalogue shoot. Bottom line: after renovation, a household vacuum just won’t handle it — you need an industrial one and a proper top-down method.
