When should you book a basic last-minute cleaning service?
Many people got used to waiting days or even weeks before having their home cleaned. We changed this in many cities in Austria and across Europe. By booking with us, you can schedule the cleaning service with a background-checked, verified cleaner even 2 hours in advance.
People choose the last-minute cleaning service for a number of reasons. Sometimes they just don't feel like waiting. If you're a busy person, and need the home cleaning service today, or tomorrow, why would you limit yourself? You can fill out a simple booking form, and have your place cleaned in a matter of hours!
A last-minute cleaning service is also a popular choice after parties. When parties go better than expected you have a lot of fun, that's for sure. But do you have enough energy to do the clean-up when you wake up completely hangover? Probably not. Book a last-minute home cleaning service with us, and bring order to your place. Cleaners working with us are discrete and experienced in after-party cleaning.
No cleaning equipment at home?
Your cleaner can bring all the necessary equipment & cleaning solvents with her/him.

Reliable last-minute cleaning services
"SPIC AND SPAN. made me into a believer when it comes to cleaning services! Prior to taking the leap with them, I have always avoided using such services due to fear of poorly verified cleaners and generally feeling uncomfortable about having someone clean up after me. Fortunately, SPIC AND SPAN. didn’t fail at providing a friendly and experienced cleaner that left me surprisingly at ease."

"I ordered the deep cleaning package and could not be happier! The cleaner was friendly, helped me with some advice for the future. The apartment was in a desolate condition with many old grease stains. Another cleaning company refused this kind of cleaning. It's not just clean now, the window frames and door frames that couldn't be cleaned, now look like new. My apartment is filled with old furniture and objects, the cleaner was patient and careful to not break anything. Will recommend SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office cleaning to all my friends."

"I manage a large portfolio of serviced apartments in a few cities across Europe. Occasionally, we have a sudden spike in checkouts, and need to handle 50+ apartments being vacated on a single single day. Our full-time cleaning staff is simply not able to handle that volume of move-outs at once. During such busy periods SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning reliably comes to rescue us. We are able to schedule a cleaning service for multiple properties with them, and even arrange the key handovers. No hassle, proper invoices after the cleaning, and a guarantee that our apartments will be clean when the new guests check in."

"Ordered the deep cleaning package for my 2-room apartment. I was satisfied with the work done - clean, neat, fast, high quality. I have used other companies previously with similar packages and can confirm that SPIC AND SPAN have managed to do a much better job. The cleaner was sociable, pleasant and attentive to details. All my requests and wishes were taken into account during cleaning. I subscribed to the regular cleaning. Thank you!"

"We turned to SPIC AND SPAN after the renovation of the apartment. I did not even expect that our apartment would be so clean and fresh. Made such a difference compared to my every day clean. Thank you for your huge and hard work! All was done quickly and carefully with an understanding of the needs and desires of customers. We have now decided to use SPIC AND SPAN. Home & Office Cleaning for our regular cleaning. Awesome service and will definitely recommend to friends."

"Eva was great! She made sure we were on the same page with expectations by doing a walk through before and after completing the job. She spent 3 hours cleaning several areas in my house and it was spotless when she was done! She was also pet-friendly and great at getting the fur off my carpet. The house has never looked so good. A big thank you."

Sometimes you cannot wait for weeks for your cleaning appointment. That's why we give you an opportunity to book a next-day & same-day cleaning service. With our transparent pricing policy you are in control of your expenses. In the past we helped customers clean-up broken glass caused by strong winds, cover for a cleaning lady which stood them up, and bring back order to their homes after parties of their lifetime.
