Deep cleaning in Retkinia, Lodz

Retkinia has a feature no other part of Lodz shares: the flats are repeatable. Close to forty thousand people live in blocks from one period, built to a handful of typical layouts. For anyone booking, that means one thing: the estimate from the form almost always matches what the team finds on site.

A typical layout and a typical quote

The most common sizes are 38, 48 and 54 square metres, meaning two or three rooms, a separate kitchen and one bathroom. A deep clean of a two-room flat costs 229.90 zł as the base plus extras, a three-room flat 274.90 zł plus extras. No surprises in the form of a second bathroom, a mezzanine or a four-metre ceiling.

What people in Retkinia add most often

• windows at 40 zł each — in a two-room flat usually three plus a balcony door
• a balcony or loggia at 30 zł, which practically every flat has
• the extractor hood at 40 zł and kitchen cupboard interiors at 59 zł
• the oven and fridge at 40 zł each

A full set for two rooms comes to around 560 zł.

A kitchen in a seventies block

It is a separate, small room with gravity ventilation. Steam has no way out, so grease settles on the hood housing and on the upper cupboard fronts faster than in a flat with a kitchen open to the living room. For a first deep clean it is worth taking the hood and the cupboards together; on later visits the basic scope is enough.

How long it takes

Two rooms with a full set of extras is six to seven hours, three rooms seven to eight. With the full scope we send two people so the job closes in one day.

Where we travel

The whole of Retkinia together with Karolew and Retkinia Wschód, within aleja Wyszyńskiego, Retkińska and Maratońska. Travel is included. Morning slots book up fastest; afternoon ones usually stay free longer.

What it does not include

Upholstery and carpet cleaning, which is a separate service with a 120 zł minimum. Cleaning windows from outside the building. Post-renovation cleaning, charged at 6 zł per square metre. Removing mould from the corners by the windows, if the cause is damp in the wall itself.

Flats for rent

Retkinia has a large share of rented flats, being close to the universities and well connected to the centre. At a change of tenant, a deep clean with the fridge and oven done inside is usually cheaper than a dispute over the deposit, and a set for two rooms comes to around 310 zł. If the flat was let for a long time, it is worth adding an extra hour at 50 zł.

Yes: 10 % for two visits a month, 15 % for weekly ones.

Do I have to be at home?

No, key collection for 30 zł and return after the visit is enough.
