In the booking process, you therefore determine the price range for your apartment cleaning individually. Accordingly, you will only be referred to cleaning staff whose price matches your expectations.

Please make sure that your cleaner/household professional, or service provider has access to your house or apartment at the agreed time. We recommend that you personally greet your cleaner/household professional or service provider before the first cleaning/service appointment.

Before a cleaning appointment, you can alternatively contact the cleaner/household professional via chat to coordinate a possible key handover in advance (e.g., leave it with a neighbour).

Yes. You don’t have to worry in the unlikely event of damage. The Helpling platform maintains liability insurance with a coverage amount of 5,000,000 euros, in which each cleaning staff is co-insured in the event of damage to their respective customer’s property. If the customer claims damage caused by the cleaning staff’s activities, Helpling reports the damage to the liability insurance. This covers damages from 500 euros. For damages under 500 euros and for the first 500 euros of a larger damage, you can, of course, always contact the cleaning staff directly and agree on appropriate compensation. You can find the contact details of your cleaning staff in the confirmation email you received before the cleaning. Further information on liability insurance can be found here: Liability Insurance. Please note: The decision on the regulation of damages is made solely by the liability insurance. Helpling has no influence on this.
