In the modern world, which is accelerating every year, it is so difficult to allocate time for spring cleaning of an apartment or, especially, a house. All kinds of cleaning services and companies come to the rescue, which offer a huge list of services: from general cleaning of the home to ironing. Although many housewives still believe that it is very expensive, competition in the market has long made professional cleaning affordable for everyone.
Cost by region
Prices mainly depend on several factors:
- Metric area: the price usually means the type of apartment (3-, 2-room, etc.) and the maximum area (one-room apartment with an area of up to 40 m);
- type of cleaning: standard, general or after repair / event;
- one-time visit of a specialist or a long-term contract: the first option will cost a little more, because it is more profitable for companies to conclude an agreement on the periodic provision of cleanliness maintenance services;
- special requests are usually regulated, i.e. the price list contains them;
- The region is also an important factor.
Sometimes the purpose of the room in which the cleaning will be carried out matters, but for many services this is not a fundamental point.
Prices
In Moscow and the Moscow Region, simple cleaning of a one-room apartment will cost 2000 rubles or more (1600 rubles can be found for special promotions), and in the Volga region, prices start at 500-700 rubles.
Alternative
In addition to major cleaning services, there is always the opportunity to hire a housekeeper through Avito or other similar sites. And it is likely to be cheaper. But Miss Purity magazine advises against saving and contacting a trusted company. Moreover, the price difference is not very large, and the contract with the cleaning service provides guarantees that nothing will be lost in the event of property damage (which is unlikely, since professionals work there), measures will be taken.
A weighty argument for cleaning services and the fact that cleaning is carried out with the help of professional tools and equipment, which most likely the private owner will not have.

If you do not want to spend money or trust outsiders in your house, be sure to find the pleasant side in cleaning. For example, it can be safely equated to playing sports, if you do not forget about the rhythm of breathing and movements and periodically change position, alternating inclinations and sipping to mezzanines.
