Here's my founder story in two sentences: I couldn't find a cleaning service that met my standards. So I built one that does."

We’re the best-kept secret for expat families in Switzerland

Incredible Detail

I felt so comfortable with the ladies in my home, which is very new for me. They worked at cleaning and tidying areas that I think have never been cleaned ?! Bathroom drawers, the drawers under the oven… that was great. And the more superficial things were also done really well.

Deborah A.

Home That Inspires

Thank you so so so much for the cleaning today -- it almost makes me cry to return home to such a lovely home! Thank you for deep cleaning the kitchen today.

Johanna S.

Sparkling Clean

I just wanted to thank you again so much for the amazing cleaning! I was so happy that the bathrooms and the downstairs were thoroughly cleaned and sparkling again. Thank you so, so much for your time and effort!

Nadja B.

Joy at Home Again

You have inspired me to get the apartment under control and actually start enjoying it again! For the first time in a long time, I felt some light that the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and cooking may just become a pleasure, which it has not been for too long.

Joanne R.

Cleaning Angels

Thank you so much! You are truly angels who we urgently need.

Andrea A.

Calm and Order

Once again, your employee is amazing. Everything was so clean and tidy. Even my husband noticed and was so impressed. It brings such calmness. Thank you so much!

FAQs

What products do you use?

We usually clean with products so gentle, you could eat them – like baking soda, vinegar, and citric acid. 
If we use “ready-made” cleaners, we choose eco-friendly brands like Frosch, Sonett, or Heitmann.

How do you make sure everything is hygienically clean?

We follow a strict color-code system to avoid cross-contamination:

🟦 Blue = bathroom
🟩 Green = toilet
🟥 Red/pink = kitchen
🟨 Yellow/orange = everything else

One of the first things we do when entering your home:

We move toothbrushes and cups to the kitchen and clean them with a vinegar-based solution – to make sure no bathroom product ever touches them.

How do you clean fast and thoroughly?

We follow a proven 3-step method:

  1. Tidy up
  2. Clean systematically – from left to right, top to bottom
  3. Finish with the floors

Simple. Efficient. Reliable.

Where do you operate?

Currently in between Zurich, Zug and Pfäffikon SZ.

This includes:

  • city of Zurich and Zug and nearby surroundings (e.g. Zollikon and Küsnacht ZH)
  • Knonauer Amt/Säuliamt
  • Silver Coast (Adliswil, Rüschlikon, Thalwil, Oberrieden, Horgen, Wädenswil, Richterswil, Freienbach, Wollerau, Pfäffikon)
  • Living nearby but not directly in the stated areas? Please leave us a message or fill out our waitlist (via the “book a test cleaning” button).

We focus on quality over quantity - which means we expand only when we’re sure our onboarding for caring, reliable cleaners runs smoothly.

What payment methods do you offer?

At the moment, we accept bank transfer only. 
You’ll receive a monthly invoice, payable within 7 days.

How much does your service cost?

Our standard cleaning rate is CHF 57.82 per hour. 
This included taxes, insurance, and regular cleaning products. 
We also bring our own cleaning rugs, so you don’t have to worry about washing them after the cleaning.

For special services like deep carpet cleaning or high pressure washing, different rates apply.

How are you different from other cleaning services?

We've asked our clients, why they are willing to pay a premium price for a service they could get cheaper somewhere else. Here are examples of what they answered:
"Because your team cleans in places that haven't been cleaned in ages before".

"You really understand what working parents need, for example, that the play kitchen also needs to be cleaned and not just vacuumed around".

"Finally, someone who cleans with natural products. With a 10-month-old crawling all over the place, it's such a relief to know this".

"You're so reliable. You stick to a regular schedule. And even when our regular cleaner was sick, you organized a stand-in for the same day".

I have a pet/pets that usually is/are at home. Is that ok for you?

If your pet is ok with having strangers in their home, we are happy to clean alongside them. We will follow your instructions: If you want us to keep all windows and doors closed to prevent your cat from escaping, we will do so. If you want us to let you dog play in your garden, but call him back inside before we leave, we will also do so.

What schedule can I book? Do you also do one-time deep cleanings?

Due to our limited capacity, we can only accept regular cleanings at the moment. That means a regular cleaning appointment at least every second week. 
Please also note that the minimum booking time is three hours.

Do you also offer special services, like high-pressure washing or wet-vacuuming the carpet or the sofa?

At the moment, we only offer those special cleanings for our regular customers. Please note that special prices and conditions apply.

What happens during holidays?

Case 1, cleaner on vacation: We try to fill in with another team member. 
Case 2, you are on vacation: We take advantage of the additional time and get some deep cleaning done. Usually this is the kitchen, also inside the cupboards, the basement, inside cupboards we usually are not supposed to clean...you can tell us what you want to have deep cleaned and we will do so.

Do I have to tidy up before you come?

We live by this motto: We clean and we don’t judge.
Childrens’ toys everywhere, laundry piling up on the sofa, kitchen doesn’t have a clean space on the countertop anymore? We’re happy to tidy and clean that up for you.
Please note, though, that tidying and cleaning takes more time than “only” cleaning.

On which days do you usually clean?

For private home cleanings, our usual cleaning days are Monday to Friday, between 07:00 am and 8:00 pm. Saturdays might also be possible.
