Apartment and House Cleaning in Western Switzerland

Living in a clean and healthy home is essential for everyday well-being. Yet between work, family and social obligations, deep cleaning your apartment or house often takes a back seat. This is exactly why SOS Nettoyage offers a comprehensive apartment and house cleaning service throughout Western Switzerland. Our teams of qualified professionals come to your home to restore an impeccable shine to every room, whether on a regular, one-off or deep-cleaning basis.

As a cleaning specialist in Western Switzerland, we operate in the cantons of Genève, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Fribourg, Valais and Jura. Our commitment: an impeccable result, environmentally friendly products and a free, no-obligation quote for every request.

The Different Types of Cleaning for Your Home

Every home has specific needs. At SOS Nettoyage, we tailor our service to your situation, whether you are looking for regular maintenance or a one-off intervention.

Regular Cleaning (Routine Maintenance)

Regular cleaning is the ideal option for keeping your home in a constant state of cleanliness. Our teams visit at a frequency agreed together — once a week, every two weeks or once a month — to carry out essential maintenance tasks.

This type of cleaning generally includes:

Vacuuming and washing floors in all rooms
Dusting furniture, shelves and accessible surfaces
Kitchen cleaning: worktop, hob, sink, appliance fronts
Bathroom cleaning: toilets, washbasin, shower or bathtub, mirrors
Emptying bins and replacing bags
Cleaning accessible interior glass surfaces

Regular cleaning is particularly recommended for families with children, elderly people, dual-income households and anyone who would rather spend their free time on something other than housework.

Deep Cleaning (Thorough Clean)

Deep cleaning goes well beyond routine maintenance. It is a comprehensive thorough clean targeting areas rarely cleaned on a daily basis. This service is ideal as a complement to regular maintenance, or as a seasonal intervention (for example during a spring clean).

Deep cleaning includes:

Everything included in regular cleaning, plus:
Cleaning inside cupboards and wardrobes
Full descaling of bathrooms (taps, shower heads, joints)
Cleaning the oven, refrigerator and microwave (interior and exterior)
Washing skirting boards, door frames and switches
Cleaning radiators and ventilation grilles
Thorough degreasing of the kitchen (extractor hood, filters, worktop)
Cleaning interior windows and frames
Dusting light fixtures and ceiling fans

This type of service generally requires between 4 and 8 hours of work depending on the size of the property and its initial condition.

One-Off Cleaning (Single Intervention)

One-off cleaning meets a specific, time-limited need. You have hosted a party, you are preparing for visitors, or you simply want to restore order to your home after building work? SOS Nettoyage responds quickly, often within 24 to 48 hours.

Common situations for one-off cleaning:

After a party or event (post-event cleaning)
Before or after a move (handover cleaning)
After renovation work (removal of construction dust)
Preparing a property for sale or rental
Return from an extended holiday

Our Working Method

At SOS Nettoyage, we follow a rigorous methodology to guarantee an impeccable result with every intervention.

Step 1: Assessment and Personalised Quote

Everything begins with an initial contact. You describe your home (floor area, number of rooms, general condition) and your specific needs. We prepare a free, no-obligation quote based on this information. For large properties or particular requirements, we can carry out a preliminary visit.

Step 2: Scheduling the Intervention

We agree on a date and time slot that suits you. Our teams are flexible and can work Monday to Saturday, including evenings for commercial interventions. In an emergency, we offer interventions within 24 hours in most locations across Western Switzerland.

Step 3: Professional Intervention

Our cleaning agents arrive equipped with everything needed: professional vacuums, steam cleaners, certified eco-friendly products, microfibres and specialist equipment. We work to a precise protocol, room by room, always starting with the highest areas (light fixtures, shelves) and finishing with the floors.

Step 4: Quality Control

At the end of every intervention, a quality check is carried out. For regular services, random audits are performed to ensure consistent quality. You are invited to inspect the work and flag any point of dissatisfaction, which we correct immediately.

Step 5: Follow-Up and Client Satisfaction

After the intervention, we contact you to ensure your complete satisfaction. We adjust the service if necessary for future visits. Our goal is a long-term relationship built on trust.

Our Products and Equipment

The quality of a clean depends as much on expertise as on the products used. At SOS Nettoyage, we favour:

Eco-friendly products: our cleaning products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly, in compliance with current Swiss standards
Hypoallergenic products: on request, we use exclusively products suitable for people with allergies or asthma
Professional equipment: HEPA-filter vacuums, high-pressure steam cleaners, professional squeegees
Quality microfibres: our microfibre cloths capture up to 99% of bacteria without the use of harsh chemicals

If you have preferred products or particular requirements (organic products, specific brands), we are happy to accommodate.

Insurance and Guarantee

Every intervention is covered by our professional liability insurance. In the event of accidental damage, you are protected. Furthermore, if the result does not meet your expectations, we return free of charge to address the points raised.

Flexibility and Responsiveness

We understand that your schedule is busy. That is why we offer great flexibility with scheduling, including Saturdays and evenings. In an emergency (water damage, disaster, last-minute preparation before a visit), we can intervene within 24 hours.

Transparent Pricing

No unpleasant surprises with SOS Nettoyage. The price agreed in the quote is the price invoiced. There are no hidden fees, and any additional work is discussed and approved before the intervention.

Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by using biodegradable products, minimising plastic packaging and optimising our travel routes to reduce CO2 emissions.

Special Cases and Complementary Services

Beyond standard cleaning, SOS Nettoyage offers complementary services to meet all your needs:

Post-Move Cleaning

End-of-lease cleaning (handover cleaning) is a highly sought-after service in Switzerland. When returning a property, the tenant must hand it back in an impeccable state of cleanliness, in line with the letting agency’s requirements. SOS Nettoyage offers a complete handover clean with a guarantee of acceptance by the agency.

Post-Renovation Cleaning

Renovation work generates a significant amount of dust, plaster residue, paint traces and debris. Our specialist team has the right equipment (industrial vacuum, specific strippers) to restore your home after building work.

Window Cleaning

For a complete result, consider combining your home cleaning with professional window cleaning. Clean windows literally transform the light in an interior.

Carpet and Rug Cleaning

We offer deep carpet and rug cleaning using hot water extraction or shampooing, to remove stains, dust mites and ingrained allergens.

Ironing and Laundry Care

In addition to cleaning, our staff can handle the ironing of your laundry and putting it away in your wardrobes.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

The ideal cleaning frequency depends on your lifestyle. Here are our recommendations:

Single person or couple without children: a clean every 2 weeks is generally sufficient, with a deep clean every 3 to 6 months
Family with children: a weekly clean is recommended, with a deep clean every 2 to 3 months
Pet owners: a weekly clean is strongly recommended due to hair, odours and allergens
Allergy or asthma sufferers: a weekly clean with hypoallergenic products and a HEPA-filter vacuum
Holiday home: a monthly clean to keep the property in good condition, with a deep clean before each stay

Maintenance Tips Between Interventions

Even with a professional cleaning service, a few simple daily habits will help keep your home clean for longer:

Ventilate your home for at least 10 minutes a day, even in winter, to refresh the air and reduce humidity
Wipe down kitchen surfaces after each use to prevent grease build-up
Use a squeegee on shower screens after each use to prevent limescale
Remove your shoes at the entrance to limit dirt from outside
Empty bins regularly to avoid odours and pests
Wash up daily to prevent bacterial growth in the sink
Dust surfaces once a week with a microfibre cloth

Professional Cleaning: An Investment in Your Health

A poorly maintained home can have significant consequences for your health. According to the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, due to the accumulation of dust, dust mites, mould and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Regular professional cleaning contributes to:

Reducing allergens (dust mites, pet hair, pollen) responsible for rhinitis and asthma
Preventing mould in damp areas (bathroom, kitchen), often responsible for respiratory problems
Eliminating bacteria on frequently touched surfaces (handles, switches, worktops)
Improving indoor air quality through regular dusting and the use of non-toxic products
Promoting mental well-being: a clean and tidy environment has a proven positive impact on stress and productivity

The duration depends on the size of the property and the type of cleaning. On average: 2 to 3 hours for a regular clean of a 3-room apartment, 4 to 6 hours for a deep clean of the same property. For a house, allow 4 to 8 hours depending on the floor area and services requested.
