Cleaning company — house cleaning, move-out and deep cleans
A good cleaning company makes a home feel like it takes care of itself. A bad one usually only becomes obvious when something is missing from a drawer or there's a scratch on the floor that wasn't there before. The difference rarely shows up in the price — it's in the routines behind it.
A reputable company is clear from the start about what's included, who comes into your home, and how they handle keys, alarm codes and any damage. Bonding and insurance are things they'll show you without being asked. Expect $30–$55/hr per cleaner, or a flat rate per visit for a standard home.
On Marketit we gather cleaning companies that work this way. Tell us in the chat whether it's recurring house cleaning, a move-out or a one-off deep clean, and we'll point you to a few that fit.
Price level
Home cleaning SEK 200–350/hr after RUT. One-off clean of a 3-room flat (70 m²) SEK 1,800–2,800. End-of-tenancy clean of a 2-room SEK 2,500–4,500.
What does a cleaning company cost in 2026?When should you hire a cleaning company?
Recurring house cleaning suits most households weekly or every other week. Move-out cleans should be booked two to three weeks before your lease ends. A deep clean before listing a home or after a renovation needs at least a full day for a small apartment.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Paying a cleaner under the table — if something is stolen or broken, there's no insurance behind it
- Not writing down the checklist, then arguing later over what 'cleaning' included
- Handing over a key with no receipt or documented procedure
- Skipping the re-clean guarantee on a move-out — if the landlord rejects it, you pay twice
- Booking the cheapest quote without checking reviews — quality varies enormously
Regional differences
In big cities supply is deep and competition keeps recurring cleaning affordable. Move-out cleans, however, are booked three to six weeks out from May through August, when most leases turn over and demand peaks.
Checklist before you hire
- Confirm the company is bonded and insured, and that cleaners are employees rather than untracked subcontractors
- Require liability coverage for damage to your belongings
- Get a written checklist — what's included and what isn't
- Agree how keys, codes and alarms are handled
- Ask for references or read reviews from recurring clients
- For a move-out clean, ask whether they return free of charge if the landlord objects
Frequently asked questions
What's included in a move-out clean?
A standard move-out covers every room in depth: kitchen including oven, refrigerator and cabinet interiors, bathrooms including drains and grout, floors, baseboards, doors, interior windows, closets and all surfaces wiped down. Many companies offer a re-clean guarantee if the landlord or property manager objects.
How often should I book cleaning?
Families with young children or pets usually go weekly. Ordinary adult households do well every other week; couples without children often every three to four weeks. Many clients add a deep clean twice a year on top of the regular schedule.
Do I need to be home when the cleaners come?
No — most clients leave a key or a door code. A professional company has a documented key procedure with traceability. It's worth being home for the first clean so you can walk the checklist together.
Should I tip house cleaners?
Tipping is common but not required: $10–$20 per cleaner for a regular visit, or the cost of one visit as a holiday bonus.

Moving company
Moving is hard enough on its own. You don't also want to worry about a crew showing up late, working without insurance, or suddenly asking for cash at the door. Unfortunately, moving is one of the easiest industries to get burned in — especially in cities and at the end of the month, when demand peaks.
Landscaper
The yard is one of the few places where a little help a few times a year shows immediately — and where the wrong help shows just as clearly. A badly cut hedge grows uneven for years, and pruning at the wrong time can hurt a fruit tree more than leaving it alone.
