Why hire a cleaning lady in Valais?
A canton where time is precious
Valais is characterised by an active lifestyle. Many families juggle professional work with the demands of mountain living. The distances between communes, the altitude and the alpine climate make household chores even more time-consuming than elsewhere in French-speaking Switzerland. Home cleaning then becomes a genuine time-saver and quality of life improvement.
A tourist territory with specific needs
Valais welcomes millions of tourists every year, in both winter and summer. The resorts of Zermatt, Verbier, Crans-Montana, Nendaz, Anzère and Saas-Fee generate considerable demand for the maintenance of chalets, holiday apartments and second homes. Professional cleaning between each guest changeover is essential to maintain a high standard.
Legal compliance: an obligation in Switzerland
Employing an undeclared cleaning lady exposes the employer to financial and legal sanctions. In Valais, as across Switzerland, the simplified declaration procedure allows easy regularisation of domestic help. But at SOS Nettoyage, we go further: our staff are fully registered and insured, freeing you from all administrative tasks.
Our home cleaning services in Valais
SOS Nettoyage offers a comprehensive range of maintenance services adapted to the specific characteristics of Valais. Our professional cleaning ladies are trained to work in all types of properties, from city studios to large mountain chalets.
Regular cleaning
Regular cleaning is our most requested service. It includes scheduled maintenance of your home at a frequency you choose: weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Our services include:
- Complete dusting of all surfaces (furniture, shelves, light fixtures, frames)
- Vacuuming and mopping floors: parquet, tiles, natural stone, vinyl
- Kitchen cleaning: worktops, hob, sink, appliances
- Bathroom maintenance: basins, showers, baths, toilets, mirrors, taps
- Emptying bins and managing selective sorting according to Valais communal rules
- Light tidying of living spaces
Deep cleaning
Deep cleaning is recommended at least twice a year, or during a first visit. In Valais, dust from the Foehn wind, road salt residue and dry mountain air require more thorough maintenance. This service includes:
- Interior cleaning of cupboards and wardrobes
- Thorough descaling of sanitary fittings (hard water is common in Valais)
- Cleaning of oven, fridge and microwave (inside and out)
- Interior window cleaning
- Cleaning of skirting boards, light switches and door handles
- Scrubbing tile grout
Chalet and second home maintenance
This service is specifically designed for the Valais context. Our teams provide:
- Airing and preparing the property before the occupants’ arrival
- Complete cleaning after guests or holidaymakers depart
- Fireplace and stove maintenance (exterior surfaces)
- Terrace and balcony cleaning after the winter season
- Regular property checks in your absence
- Household linen management (sheets, towels, tablecloths)
Ironing and laundry care
Our cleaning ladies handle ironing, folding, putting away clean laundry and managing washing machines. A service particularly appreciated by large families and owners of seasonal rental properties.
One-off cleaning and exceptional situations
Need a hand before an event, after renovation work or for a big seasonal clean? Our one-off cleaning service is available on request, with no commitment. It is also ideal for preparing a property before an end-of-lease clean.

Flexibility and responsiveness
Valais is a canton where the seasons dictate the rhythm. We adapt our schedules to peak tourist periods (ski holidays, summer in the mountains) and to the specific needs of second home owners who often require rapid intervention between rentals.

Valais is among the most prestigious tourist destinations in Switzerland and Europe. Internationally renowned resorts such as Verbier, Zermatt, Crans-Montana, Saas-Fee, Nendaz and Anzère attract a demanding clientele, both for short stays and seasonal rentals.
Cleaning between guest changeovers
For owners who rent their property via platforms like Airbnb, Booking or local agencies, cleaning between stays must be impeccable and quick. SOS Nettoyage operates within tight deadlines, often within a few hours between one guest’s departure and the next arrival. We provide:
- Changing and laundering household linen
- Complete cleaning of all rooms
- Restocking basic supplies (soap, paper, etc.)

- Minimum wage: Valais does not have a legal cantonal minimum wage, but industry agreements recommend a minimum of CHF 20.-/h gross for domestic staff
