The Omni office needs cleaning, as we're all a bunch of mucky pups. We scoured Krakow for cleaning services, and found one that charges by the hour. As we really do create a lot of mess, we need to hire a cleaner for 8 hours, and their cleaning price is 40 zł per hour (here in Poland we use the złoty, pronounced zwoty, which is Polish for gold!). All thats left for us to do is the simple multiplication of price per hour * number of hours:

8h * 40 zł/h = 320 zł

Aside from the conditions taken into account by the house cleaning cost calculator, there are a number of variables that also influence the prices house cleaning companies set for their services. Sometimes answering the question "How much to clean a house?" can get a bit complicated - for example, you might come across companies that combine the all of the methods set out above.

• A relatively popular practice is to preset prices depending on the type of your apartment, determined by its size and the number of bathrooms and bedrooms you have. Here's a breakdown of the average house cleaning cost using this system in the year 2020:

• Another factor that influences the average cost of house cleaning is the type of cleaning required. House cleaning services differentiate between:
  • Standard cleaning - tasks that are performed on a regular basis to keep a house clean. Sometimes called domestic cleaning, this typically covers vacuuming and mopping the floors, standard bathroom cleaning (sinks, mirrors, bath/showers, toilets), standard kitchen cleaning (wiping work surfaces, doors, and hobs) and general tidying up.
  • Deep cleaning - generally performed once or twice a year, it covers the areas that are harder to reach and tend not to require more frequent cleaning. It includes cleaning behind, inside and outside kitchen appliances such as ovens or fridges, windows and patio doors (including frames and blinds), kitchen and bathroom tiles, and dusting and cleaning details, such as lamps, ceiling fans, decorations etc. This typically costs $10-$20 more than standard cleaning.
  • Move in/move out cleaning - all of the above, with the addition of cleaning walls, ceilings and other areas not touched since you moved in (if required). Depending on the condition of an apartment, it costs roughly the same as, or more than, deep cleaning.
  • After-event cleaning - general cleaning required after a party, including cleaning dirty dishes, taking out the trash in a garbage bag, etc. Especially useful for events such as house-held birthday parties or wedding receptions.
