Moving out of a flat or house in Zurich is already stressful enough. Between packing, coordinating logistics, and dealing with paperwork, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your apartment will pass the landlord inspection. Yet one of the most common reasons tenants lose part of their deposit is insufficient cleaning at handover.
Professional move-out cleaning in Zurich is not just about making a place look tidy. It is about meeting the specific standards Swiss landlords and property managers expect during the Wohnungsabgabe. At CleanCard, we specialize in end of tenancy cleaning that gives you the best chance of reclaiming your full deposit, without any back-and-forth with your landlord.
In this page, you will learn exactly what our move-out cleaning service covers, why it matters, and how we make the whole process simple and stress-free for you.

Swiss tenancy law is clear: tenants are responsible for returning the property in the same condition it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Property managers in Zurich conduct thorough inspections, and even small oversights (a greasy oven, limescale on taps, or dusty skirting boards) can result in deductions from your deposit.
Here is why so many tenants in Zurich trust a professional cleaning service over doing it themselves:
Landlords in Switzerland apply very high cleaning standards during handover
DIY cleaning often misses areas inspectors specifically check
Professional cleaners know exactly what landlords look for
It saves you hours of work during an already exhausting moving period
A one-time professional fee can save hundreds of francs in deposit deductions
Our end of tenancy cleaning is thorough and structured. We follow a detailed room-by-room checklist designed to meet Swiss rental handover standards.
Deep cleaning of the oven, hob, and extractor hood Degreasing of all surfaces, cupboards inside and out Cleaning of the sink, taps, and surrounding tiles Descaling where needed Wipe-down of all appliances (fridge, dishwasher, microwave if present)
Full sanitization of toilet, basin, bathtub, and shower Removal of limescale from tiles, taps, and glass Cleaning of mirrors, shelves, and all bathroom fixtures Grout cleaning to remove mold or discoloration
Vacuuming and mopping of all floors Dusting of all surfaces, shelves, and light fittings Wiping of skirting boards, door frames, and switches Cleaning of built-in wardrobes inside and out Spot cleaning of walls where needed
