House Cleaning in Famagusta

It varies and you must confirm before booking. Most companies bring everything; many independent and platform-booked cleaners expect you to provide products, a vacuum and a mop — especially in Asia and the Middle East. If the cleaner brings supplies, tell them about any surface restrictions (stone worktops, hardwood) and preferences like fragrance-free or eco products.

Independents are usually 20-40% cheaper and you get the same person every time, but you carry more risk: no cover if they're sick, and often no insurance. Companies cost more but handle vetting, insurance, replacements and payment admin. If you choose an independent, ask directly about liability insurance and references — many excellent independents carry both.

A 1-2 bedroom apartment usually takes 2-3 hours for one cleaner; a 3-bedroom home takes 3-4 hours. Deep cleans run 4-8 hours or use a two-person team. First visits always take longer than maintenance visits because the cleaner is working through accumulated grime and learning the layout.

A standard clean covers surfaces you touch weekly: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms, kitchen wipe-down and bins. A deep clean adds the build-up work — inside the oven and fridge, skirting boards, under furniture, limescale removal, grout scrubbing and window sills. Deep cleans typically cost 50-100% more and take roughly twice as long. Book a deep clean first if the home hasn't been professionally cleaned in 6+ months, then maintain with standard cleans.

Typically €10-€20 per hour — noticeably below northern-European rates, reflecting local wages. A standard apartment clean runs €40-€90 and a villa or larger house €60-€130. Registered companies with insurance sit at the top of the range; informal cleaners at the bottom.

It's a mature niche serving the rental market: a fixed per-changeover fee covering cleaning, linen change and a basic checks list, typically €50-€100 depending on property size. In peak summer, book a provider with backup staff — solo cleaners get overwhelmed and same-day turnarounds fail.
