How do you calculate windows?

We have a dedicated page where we illustrate how we calculate windows. A window is two sections that don't go down all the way to the floor or one section of a French window. We calculate windows with two frames as two windows. We calculate a balcony door as one window.

As a rule, we don't wash ceilings and chandeliers, since our cleaners cannot bring a ladder to every appointment. In certain cases, we can wash hard-to-reach places if you provide your own ladder. Please be aware that an extra fee will be charged.

We use professional cleaning supplies Cleamen made in the Czech Republic. They are hypoallergenic and safe for kids and pets. Every cleaner has three to five multi-functional detergents for various spots and surfaces.

You can send us a message on social media or call us, and we will give you the number of the cleaner assigned to your booking.

You can request a specific cleaner when you make a booking online or through our call center. In that case, the cleaning can sometimes be postponed by a day or two. This is a rare situation, though, and we make every effort to meet your request.

Same way as any other windows. We calculate window sections. If you have 8 windows sections that don't go all the way down, they are considered 4 windows, 4 window sections that go all the way down are also 4 windows. Just like with regular windows, 2 sections that don't go all the way down are calculated as one window, and one section reaching the floor is also considered one window.

If you have changed the layout of your apartment to make two rooms out of one, you can still indicate it as a single-room apartment. A living room-kitchen combination is calculated as one room plus one kitchen.

If the room with the toilet is separate from the one with the bathtub or shower, they are still counted as one bathroom. A shower cubicle is not calculated separately and is cleaned at no extra charge. If you have two baths or two toilets, that counts as two bathrooms.

We clean the tiling as part of any standard cleaning. We will clean the tiles in the kitchen and in the bathroom. If you need to clean the tile joints, warn us beforehand, and we will bring a steam cleaner. It is an extra option with an extra charge.

We have vacuum cleaners that are more powerful, but they are only delivered by cleaners who drive their own cars. If you need this vacuum cleaner for your home, please warn us beforehand (tell the call center agent or leave a note when you make a booking online).

We wash the windows from both sides, including the frame and windowsills. A window is two sections that don't go down all the way to the floor or one section of a French window. A balcony door is calculated as one window. Windows with two frames are calculated as two windows.

You can make a booking even for the same day, and our cleaners will be there three hours after the booking. You can also make a booking in advance. If you make an appointment a month from now, no worries: we will be there in time.

You can choose the option "no specific time" (we will warn you about the arrival of our cleaner beforehand) or "I will specify the time a day before the cleaning" (we will contact you and decide at what time the cleaning will start).
