Move-In Deep Cleaning for Apartments and Homes

Both are fine. An empty place is quicker and easier to work through, so if you can book before the furniture arrives, that usually gives the better result. But we also work around furniture and belongings that are already in place — just tell us at the estimate so the time is quoted properly.

Appliances that come with the place are included. Rentals arranged through relocation agents usually come furnished, and the appliances are often what needs the most attention:

A full stripdown of an air-conditioner indoor unit or an extractor hood turbine is a separate specialty service, not part of a move-in clean. If the unit needs it, we will say so at the estimate and quote it separately.

Worth reading before you ask for a quote — it is quicker for both of us if the scope is clear from the start.

• We clean dirt, not damage. We do not repair, refinish or restore materials. Scratches, worn coatings and aged metal fittings stay as they are.
• Ordinary painted walls are not included. Marks on painted wall surfaces are better dealt with by repainting — cleaning tends to thin or fade the paint. Tiled walls in kitchens and bathrooms are included.
• No electrical, gas or plumbing work. If we notice something that looks wrong, we will point it out and suggest you have a qualified contractor check it.
• This is a one-time job. We are not an hourly housekeeping, laundry or cooking service, and not a regular weekly cleaner.
• Bulky rubbish left by a previous tenant is discussed at the estimate. Removal by truck is not included by default.

Why we do not publish a price. It is not evasiveness — the scope people ask for varies too much for a single number to mean anything. Some want the whole property; some want the interior only and skip the outside of the windows; some want just the high-level areas, the bathrooms and the kitchen. Those are very different jobs in the same size of apartment.

What moves the price: floor area, the condition of the place, how much of it you want covered, the number of windows and how high they are, built-in cabinets and their fittings, floor and worktop materials, and the floor the flat is on.

Within the scope we agree on, we do not add charges later. Work added on the day is quoted separately.

Send us photos and the floor area and we can give you a range. Where that is enough to price the job we will quote from it; where it is not, we look at the place first and quote after that.

You can get most of the way there by email. Here is what we can settle before you land, and what has to wait until we are standing in the flat.

An estimate first, a quote once we have enough to go on. Send us the floor area and the layout — how many bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether there is a balcony — with photos or a short video walk-through if you can manage it. The more we can see, the closer the range will be. Where that is enough to price the job we will quote from it; where it is not, we look at the place first and quote after that.

Holding a date takes a deposit. If you are outside Taiwan and want to hold a date once you have the quote, that takes a 30% deposit — it is what lets us keep the slot rather than give it to another job. If you are already in Taiwan, we simply agree a date.

Tell us how to get in. Where the key is, or which reception desk it is left at, the door code, and anything the building itself requires of contractors. Let us know as well whether there is anywhere to park.

You do not have to be there. We photograph the finished work and send it to you. Tell us beforehand which areas you want documented closely and we will cover those in detail. If you want us to go back over anything, say so while the team is still on site; once you have confirmed there is nothing outstanding and the team leaves, the job is finished.

Paying from abroad. PayPal, or an online transfer to our Taiwanese bank account. Any PayPal or bank charges are on your side. For a bank transfer, choose the option where the sender pays all charges — banks usually label it OUR — so the amount that reaches us matches the quote.
