What routine home cleaning covers, how long it takes, what drives its price, and the ways of arranging it in the canton.
Routine cleaning is the kind you repeat regularly: the kitchen, the bathroom, the floors, the dust, the surfaces.
It differs from a deep clean, which is occasional and longer, and from an end-of-tenancy clean, which meets a letting agency’s standards and is billed separately.
It is maintenance work: the aim is not to catch up, but to keep things from slipping.
Products and equipment are generally provided by the household, whichever arrangement you choose.
Every week
The rhythm of a home lived in full time, or of a family. Nothing builds up between visits.
Every other week
The most common rhythm for a smaller home, or one that is empty during the day.
One-off
A single visit, before or after an event. It is not really regular cleaning.
Duration depends mainly on the number of living spaces and bathrooms.
Each additional bathroom adds roughly 30 minutes.
Rates in the canton vary with these factors and with the route you choose. Ask for the full, all-in price before committing: it is the only figure that compares across offers.
With Maidy, the price is calculated from the size of the home and shown before any booking.

Employing someone directly
You contract with the person. You set the terms, manage the schedule and the administrative steps that follow. If they are away, no replacement is arranged.
Going through a cleaning company
You contract with the company, which employs its teams and handles the paperwork. It usually covers absences, but the person who comes may change from one visit to the next.
Going through a platform
You book online with a named cleaning professional, at a given slot. The platform handles the introduction and the payment. What varies most from one platform to another is whether the same person comes back.
These three routes do not create the same relationship: in one you contract with a person, in another with a company, in the third you book a cleaning professional through an intermediary. The administrative obligations that follow differ. Before committing, check with the official services of the canton of Geneva, which publish up-to-date information.
Home cleaning is offered across the canton: in Champel, Eaux-Vives, Cologny, Grand-Saconnex, Florissant, the Old Town, Chêne-Bougeries, Carouge and Vandœuvres, as well as in the neighbouring communes.
Maidy is a Geneva platform for routine home cleaning. You choose your cleaning professional from those genuinely available at your slot, and she is the one who comes back every time.
