How much does a deep clean cost in Spain?
A deep clean (inside cupboards, oven and fridge, windows, degreasing the kitchen, limescale in bathrooms) takes 8–12 hours for an average 80–100 m² flat. At €10–15 an hour that's roughly €80–180, usually done by two cleaners in a single visit. It's worth booking one when you move into a new flat and then once or twice a year on top of your regular cleans.
What affects the price of a cleaner in Spain?
- Location. Big cities and expat-heavy coastal towns charge more than smaller towns and inland areas.
- Language. Cleaners and agencies that work in English usually charge a premium. With an app, you can book and give instructions in writing, so language matters less.
- Frequency. Regular weekly cleans are cheaper per hour than one-off or monthly visits, because the home never gets too far behind.
- Size and layout. More bedrooms, bathrooms and terraces mean more hours.
- Pets and children. Expect to add 1–2 hours a week.
- Type of clean. Deep cleans, move-out cleans and post-renovation cleans are priced higher than regular maintenance.
Private cleaner, cleaning company or app?
A private cleaner is usually the cheapest option and works well if you find someone you trust through a recommendation. The downside is that you handle everything yourself: finding the person, covering holidays and sorting out a replacement if they're ill.
A cleaning company costs more but handles insurance, products and replacements for you. It suits people who want a single invoice and no admin.
An app sits in between: prices close to a private cleaner, verified professionals with reviews from other customers, and the option to book, reschedule or change cleaner from your phone. That's the model Homerd uses for home maid services in Spain.
Do you tip cleaners in Spain?
Tipping isn't expected. Most people pay the agreed rate and nothing more. Many households with a regular cleaner give a small extra or a gift at Christmas, but it's a gesture, not an obligation.
