To keep your flat safe and healthy, we recommend light cleaning done regularly. It adds to your comfort, too!
Below, we give you some instructions and tips to help you keep your home clean.
Clean the flat when you move out. In a shared flat, don’t forget to clean the shared facilities as well. If you neglect the cleaning, we’ll have to charge you for the eventual cleaning costs.
