All prices are gross guide prices including VAT, travel within a 30 km radius of Heidelberg and liability insurance. Materials flat rate of 4 € per visit if we supply cleaning products and equipment. Saturday surcharge 25 %.

Twenty per cent comes back to you

Household services are tax-deductible in Germany at 20 per cent of the labour cost, up to 4,000 € per year. For three hours of weekly cleaning that adds up to several hundred euros a year.

The conditions: a proper invoice and payment by bank transfer. You get both automatically – we deliberately do not accept cash.

Example calculations

  • 3 hrs of regular cleaning weekly: approx. 351 € per month
  • 2 hrs every fortnight: approx. 117 € per month
  • Deep clean of a 3-room flat: approx. 260–320 € one-off
  • Holiday cover, 3 visits per week, 2 weeks: from 132 €
  • Cat sitting, daily, 10 days: from 240 €

Questions about prices and invoicing

Are these final prices?

They are gross guide prices including VAT, travel within 30 km and insurance. After the free introductory visit you receive a fixed hourly rate in writing – and that is what applies.

How do you invoice?

By the hour. The first hour is charged in full, after that in quarter-hour steps. You receive a monthly invoice and pay by bank transfer, which is also the condition for tax deductibility.

Is it cheaper with regular appointments?

Yes. From two visits per week or four hours per visit we agree a reduced hourly rate. We discuss that in the quote.

Are there material costs?

Only if we supply products and equipment: a 4 € materials flat rate per visit. If we use your own products, it does not apply.

What about weekends and public holidays?

Saturdays are possible by arrangement with a 25 % surcharge. On Sundays and public holidays we only do pet care and house-sitting visits.
