Deep Cleaning in Prague: What’s Included and the Cost

A deep clean is a “big reset” for your home. While regular cleaning keeps the surfaces tidy, a deep clean focuses on what doesn’t get done every week — inside appliances, behind furniture, in corners, under carpets. After a properly done deep clean your flat should look “almost like new”.

When to book a deep clean

Optimal frequency: twice a year. The best times:

• 🌸 **Spring (March–April)** — after winter, when you open the windows and put away heavy winter clothes. The classic “spring clean”.
• 🍂 **Autumn (September–October)** — before the heating season, when there’s the most dust left from summer and windows are dusty after the sunny days.

Plus special occasions:

• Before moving out or moving in
• After illness in the household (thorough disinfection)
• Before a special event (a party, Christmas, a visit from your parents 😅)
• After renovation or painting (removing construction dust)

What a deep clean includes (full checklist)

Living areas

• Washing windows from the inside (frames, sills, blinds)
• Dusting all surfaces (including hard-to-reach ones — tops of cupboards, light fittings, pictures)
• Vacuuming + thorough mopping of floors into every corner
• Deep carpet cleaning (extraction method, if you have carpets)
• Washing radiators, doors and door handles
• Emptying and wiping cupboards inside (on request)

Kitchen

• Fridge — emptying, washing all compartments, disinfection
• Freezer — defrosting (if needed) and washing
• Oven — thorough degreasing inside
• Microwave — inside and out
• Cooker hood + filters
• Hob + appliances (coffee machine, toaster)
• Kitchen units — tops of cupboards, inside the cupboard under the sink
• Disinfecting the sink and around the taps

Bathroom + toilet

• Washing the tiles — all walls, not just the shower area
• Removing limescale from taps and the shower head
• Cleaning joints (silicone between the bath and tiles)
• Disinfecting the toilet bowl, seat and cistern
• Cleaning mirrors + glass surfaces
• Cleaning drains (shower, washbasin) — simple, not sewer work

How long a deep clean takes

As a guide (Czech flat codes: “2+kk” = 2 rooms + kitchenette, “2+1” = 2 rooms + separate kitchen):

• 40 m² (studio, small 1+1): 3–4 h
• 60 m² (2+kk / 2+1): 4–5 h
• 80 m² (3+kk / 3+1): 5–6 h
• 100 m² (4+kk, larger flat): 6–8 h
• 120+ m² (family house): 8–10 h, often 2 cleaners

Price of a deep clean

Hourly rate 200–280 CZK in Prague, 180–250 CZK elsewhere. For a 60 m² flat:

• Hourly rate 220 CZK × 5 h = 1,100 CZK
• You pay the cleaner 1,100 CZK directly — no commission to the platform

You can pay extra for additional services: washing windows from the outside (where reachable), ironing after the clean, carpet cleaning with the extraction method (typically 150–250 CZK/m²).

What to prepare before a deep clean

1. 24 h in advance, message the cleaner with the details (m², type of cleaning, special requests)
2. The day before: clear personal items (papers, clothes) off surfaces so the cleaner can work
3. Arrange access — keys, alarm, a place for the rubbish bags
4. Empty the fridge only lightly — the cleaner will clean it
5. If you have allergies or prefer eco products, mention it in advance
