Cleaning company or a housekeeper?
The prices above are per job, paid to a company. Hiring a housekeeper (empleada doméstica) directly for regular cleaning is a different arrangement, with the pay floor and employer obligations set out on our housekeeper prices page.
What to ask before you book
- Is the price per m² of floor area or of the whole property, and is there a minimum? Se Limpia’s rate is a starting price.
- What is included? Se Limpia lists bathrooms, windows, closets, doors and skirting, dining room and kitchen for its residential clean; ask whether inside the oven and fridge, walls and exterior windows are included.
- For upholstery: how many seats or pieces does the price cover? Clean Express prices by seat count; Limpiezas Excelentes does not say.
- Area covered: is your zone or municipality covered at the listed price?
- Will I get a factura? Keep the factura or receipt; DIACO asks for proof of purchase if you file a consumer complaint.
