Planning instead of last-minute stress

A good schedule separates organization and cleaning

The actual cleaning is only part of the delivery. Appointments, repairs, keys, additional rooms and delivery documents also take time. Separating these tasks early makes it clear what you can handle yourself and where support is useful.

The requirements may vary depending on the rental contract, administration and property. Therefore, always check your property-specific handover documents. This guide offers practical orientation and does not constitute legal advice.

Four steps

The most important decisions in meaningful order

The order prevents details from being noticed only after the appointment, staff or access arrangements have already been fixed.

  1. 01

    3–4 weeks in advance

    Confirm deadline, check documents, report open repairs and determine which rooms and additional rooms need to be cleaned.

  2. 02

    A week before

    Remove basement, attic, garage and balcony. Check key stock and clear access, lift or parking for the cleaning day.

  3. 03

    48 hours before

    Keep coolers empty, built-in cabinets accessible and compare the agreed cleaning scope again with windows, blinds and bathrooms.

  4. 04

    Handover date

    Take the protocol and key. Specifically record complaints and keep the cleaning company reachable if handover guarantee is agreed.

Preparation

This information needs a reliable quote

  • Apartment size and number of rooms
  • Number of bathrooms, windows and blinds
  • Basement, attic, garage and balcony
  • Desired cleaning date and delivery date
  • Special areas or agreed additional work

Frequently asked questions

Brief and concrete answers

The answers explain the planning. The specific scope of services is agreed separately before a quote.

When should I book an end-of-tenancy cleaning?

As soon as handover and moving dates are fixed. Especially in busy moving periods, an early request makes planning easier. A binding quote requires additional information about the property and the scope.

Is move-out cleaning the same as end-of-tenancy cleaning?

With KRIZANOVIC, both terms refer to the same service: the agreed cleaning before the apartment handover to the administration.

What does handover guarantee mean?

It applies to the cleaning work agreed in the quote until the apartment handover. If the property manager identifies an issue with the agreed cleaning work, we return to correct it.
