Leaving a flat in Germany ends with the Wohnungsübergabe, the handover appointment with your landlord or property manager. They walk through every room, compare it with the report from when you moved in and write down what they find. For many people who came to Düsseldorf for work, this is their first German handover. Our move out cleaning in Düsseldorf gets the flat ready for that appointment, so you can focus on packing, paperwork and your next address.
We also clean flats before you move in. If you are arriving in Düsseldorf and the kitchen or bathroom is not as clean as you would like, we can clean it before your furniture arrives.
What landlords look at during the handover
Every landlord is different, and your rental contract says what state the flat has to be in. Some contracts only ask for “besenrein” (broom-clean), others expect more. If you are unsure, read the contract again or ask your landlord before you book anything.
What is written in the handover report (Übergabeprotokoll) can affect how much of your deposit (Kaution) you get back. Landlords often look closely at these places:
- The kitchen: oven, hob, extractor hood, fridge and the inside of the cupboards
- The bathroom: limescale on taps, shower glass, tiles and around the toilet
- Floors and skirting boards, especially where furniture stood for years
- Windows, window sills and frames
Limescale surprises many newcomers. Tap water leaves white marks on taps, shower walls and sinks, and after a few years they no longer come off with a quick wipe. The same goes for grease on the extractor hood and dust behind the fridge. Landlords tend to notice these spots.
Move out cleaning in Düsseldorf: what is included
You tell us what should be cleaned, and we agree on the scope before the appointment. A typical move-out clean covers these areas.
Move-in cleaning before your furniture arrives
An empty flat is the easiest flat to clean. Before the moving truck comes, we clean the kitchen cupboards you will put your plates in, the bathroom you will use on the first evening and the floors in every room.
People who move to Düsseldorf from abroad often arrive with a few suitcases and wait for their furniture to follow. A clean flat on the first day makes that start easier. You unpack once and do not have to scrub cupboards in between.
Once you have settled in, you can also book regular home cleaning. You get the same cleaner each time, so they get to know your home, and we use your own products.
How it works
- Send us the details. Tell us the size of the flat, the number of rooms and your handover or moving-in date. Mention anything special too, such as a very dirty oven or windows you want included.
- Get your quote. You receive an individual quote with a final price.
- We clean. Our insured team comes on the agreed date and brings its own products. Appointments can be early, late or at the weekend.
- Handover. Our handover guarantee covers the cleaning until your apartment handover. If something is not right, tell us and we fix it.
Plan the cleaning for after the movers have taken the furniture out and before the handover appointment. The day before the handover often works well, because nothing gets dirty again in between. If your handover is at the end of a month, send us your request early so we can find a date that fits.
Price
Every flat is different, so move-out and move-in cleaning is priced by individual quote. The price depends on the size of the flat, its condition and what you want included, for example the oven or the windows.
The quote is a final price. As a small business (Kleinunternehmer) under § 19 UStG, we do not charge VAT. Request a quote with a few details about your flat and your date.
Who it is for
This service is for tenants who are leaving a flat and want the handover to go without trouble. Many families from Japan and other countries live in Düsseldorf for a few years on a company posting. When the posting ends, the flat has to be handed back clean, often in the same week as the move. International staff, students and families moving within the region are in a similar situation.
It is also for people moving in who want a clean start, and for landlords and property managers who need a flat ready for the next tenant.
