Home cleaning — what you should know
Home cleaning is the recurring cleaning that keeps your home fresh week after week — floors, surfaces, kitchen and bathrooms are taken care of on a schedule that suits you. On Avavik you compare vetted cleaning companies and get matched for free with one that fits your home, whether you want cleaning weekly, every other week or once a month.
A standard home cleaning usually covers vacuuming and mopping of floors, wiping of surfaces, cleaning of the kitchen, bathrooms and toilets, and emptying of bins. Window and oven cleaning are normally available as add-ons. Since the RUT deduction applies to home cleaning, private customers pay only half the labour cost — deducted directly on the invoice.

Quick answer
