Moving out cleaning price: What does professional cleaning cost?
The price of moving out cleaning depends on more than just the number of square meters. The condition of the home, layout, number of bathrooms, windows, white goods, access, and timing all affect the amount of work. The surest way to find a realistic price is therefore to describe the same job to several providers and compare the total price.

Fixed price, hourly rate or price per square meter?
Fixed price provides the best predictability when the scope is clear. Hourly rate may suit when the condition is uncertain, but clarify estimated time usage and cap. Price per square meter is easy to understand, but always ask what the rate includes. A low square meter price can become more expensive after surcharges.
How to get comparable offers
State square meters, home type, number of bathrooms, desired date, and if the home is empty. Include photos for heavy soiling. Ask each company to specify the total price including VAT, work list, optional services, guarantee, travel, and other fees.
Avoid choosing based solely on the lowest price
Verify that the company is registered in the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's Cleaning Register. Also consider capacity on the correct date, written terms, insurance, and how deficiencies are handled. A precise offer is often more valuable than an unclear 'starting from' price.
