Cleaning m² refer here to the home’s floor area; window m² refer to glazing. Confirm measurements, frames, sills and sides included. Compare rates together with operations and minimum charges.
How do you calculate the cost for a 60 m² apartment?
Calculation model: the higher of the minimum charge and area × rate, then agreed extras. At 60 m² × MDL 55 the result is MDL 3,300; if the quote applies a MDL 5,000 minimum to basic cleaning, the base becomes MDL 5,000, rather than MDL 3,300 or MDL 8,300. The minimum is not added to the multiplication result.
If that offer separately confirms 8 m² of windows cleaned on both sides at MDL 90/m², the extra is MDL 720 and this example totals MDL 5,720. The window area is hypothetical and “from” prices may increase after assessment. Confirm how the minimum and extras apply in your specific offer.
What should the offer include?
Confirm before booking
- Area, furniture present and photos showing dust, paint or adhesive marks.
- The exact scope for floors, skirting, doors, bathroom, kitchen and accessible surfaces.
