Apartment & Flat Cleaning

Flats, studios, access and high-rise considerations.

10 answers

Do you clean flats and apartments?

Yes. Mundoria can be used for flats, apartments and other self-contained homes, whether you need regular cleaning, a one-off clean, a deep clean or cleaning around a move. The booking is shaped around the actual space rather than assuming every home works the same way. A one-bedroom flat may need a very different amount of time from a large apartment with multiple bathrooms, open-plan living areas or several occupants. What matters is giving us an accurate picture of the property so the clean can be estimated properly.

Is apartment cleaning different from house cleaning?

The cleaning itself is often similar, but the way the property works can be different. Apartments may have shared entrances, lifts, concierge desks, parking restrictions, building access codes or rules about when contractors can enter. Some flats are compact and quick to move around. Others are large, high-rise properties where access takes longer and parking is limited. That is why Mundoria treats the property details as part of the booking, not just the number of bedrooms. The aim is to understand the whole job, including how the cleaner actually gets in and works there.

Do you clean studio flats?

Yes. Studio flats can be booked just like other homes. Because the space is usually smaller, the amount of cleaning time may be lower, but that still depends on the condition of the property and what you want done. A studio that is regularly maintained may need relatively little time. A studio needing a deep clean may still require more attention, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Size matters, but condition matters too.

Do you clean high-rise apartments?

Yes, where the building can be accessed safely and the booking is practical. If the apartment is in a high-rise building, let us know anything that affects access, such as concierge procedures, lift access, visitor registration, parking restrictions or a particular entrance that needs to be used. Those details may sound small, but they can make a big difference on the day. The cleaner should not be spending the first part of the booking trying to work out how to get into the building.

What if my building has concierge access?

That is fine. If the concierge needs to let the cleaner in, hold a key, register visitors or provide lift access, include that information in the booking. It also helps to let the concierge know in advance that a cleaning professional is expected. If they need the cleaner's name or booking details before allowing access, make sure that is arranged beforehand. A few minutes of preparation can prevent a lot of confusion at reception.

What if parking is difficult at my apartment?

Tell us before the booking. Parking can affect whether a particular professional is a practical match for the job, especially if they are bringing equipment. If there is visitor parking, a permit system, nearby paid parking or a loading area, include those details where possible. If there is no practical parking at all, that is still useful for us to know. It is much better to consider travel and access when arranging the booking than for the cleaner to discover the problem after arriving.

Can a cleaner collect access keys from reception?

Yes, if reception or concierge staff are authorised to release the key and the arrangement has been agreed beforehand. Include clear instructions about where the key will be, who can release it and where it should be returned after the clean. If the cleaner needs identification or booking information to collect the key, let us know. The simpler the handover, the easier it is for the cleaning time to be spent on the property rather than on access.

Can I book regular apartment cleaning?

Yes. Regular apartment cleaning can be arranged weekly or fortnightly, depending on what works for you and what availability looks like in your area. It can cover the everyday areas that need ongoing attention, such as the kitchen, bathroom, floors, bedrooms, living spaces and accessible surfaces. You can also tell us which areas matter most. If you live alone and barely use one room, there is no reason it needs the same attention as the kitchen you use every day. The cleaning should reflect the way you actually live in the space.

Can I book deep apartment cleaning?

Yes. A deep clean can be useful if the apartment needs more than normal upkeep. That might mean built-up grease in the kitchen, limescale in the bathroom, detailed cleaning around skirting boards and doors, or simply a property that has not had a thorough clean for some time. The same rules around specialist cleaning still apply. Mundoria deep cleaning covers detailed household cleaning, but not specialist services such as carpet extraction, major mould remediation, biohazard cleaning or specialist floor restoration.

Can I book move-in or move-out cleaning for a flat?

Yes. Move-in, move-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning can all be booked for flats and apartments. If you are moving in, the clean can be arranged before your belongings arrive where access allows. If you are moving out, it is usually easier to clean once most or all of your belongings have been removed. For flats, access details are particularly important because the cleaner may need to deal with building reception, lifts, key collection, parking or estate-agent arrangements. Moving already comes with enough moving parts. The cleaning should be one of the simpler ones.
