Apartment Cleaning Costs in Bulgaria: 2026 Prices and What's Included

Apartment cleaning is one of the most-requested services in Bulgaria — by year-round residents, by hosts renting via Airbnb and Booking, and by tourists who'd rather actually relax instead of mopping during their holiday. Below are 2026 prices broken down by service type and city.

5 cleaning types — what differs in scope and price

1. Standard cleaning (maintenance)
Dust, floors, bathroom, kitchen. 1.5–2 hours. €20–40 depending on size. A 50–70 m² flat: €25–30.

2. Deep cleaning
Everything in standard + windows (inside), appliance interiors (oven, microwave, fridge), skirting boards, radiators, vents, cupboard fronts. 3–5 hours. €50–120 depending on condition and size.

3. Post-renovation cleaning
Removing construction dust, dry and wet cleaning from scratch, washing cement off windows, paint splatter off walls and floors, removing debris. Hard work, 5–8 hours, €80–250 for a 50–80 m² flat.

4. Turnover (between guests in a rental apartment)
Quick prep for the next guest: linen and towel changes, bathroom and kitchen, dust, vacuum, trash out. 1–1.5 hours. €30–50 for a 2-bedroom. Often includes laundry (+€10–15) and a welcome-pack setup (coffee, sugar, soap).

5. Office cleaning (contract)
Regular, 1–5 times per week. From €80/month for an office up to 50 m² on a twice-weekly schedule.

Prices by city (2026)

Indicative figures. When you order via Helply, real prices may vary depending on the specific cleaner.

In peak season (July–August) prices climb 15–25% due to demand, especially for turnover work.

What drives the price

1. Apartment size — square metres scale linearly with time
2. Condition — six months without cleaning = +30–50%
3. Windows — counted separately (€20–40 for a set)
4. Pets — fur, claw marks, smells = +10–20%
5. Urgency — «in 2 hours» = +20–30%
6. Timing — evening or weekend = +10–20%

Standard-cleaning checklist (what the cleaner should do)

Kitchen

• Hob exterior + knobs
• Sink and taps
• Worktops, table
• Appliance exteriors
• Bin out, new bag

Bathroom

• Toilet (inside and out)
• Bath/shower and fixtures
• Sink
• Mirror
• Floor and tiles

Living areas

• Dust on visible surfaces (tables, dressers, nightstands, windowsills)
• Vacuum or sweep
• Mop the floor
• Make the bed (for turnover)

How to save

• Sign up for regular cleaning. Every two weeks is 15–20% cheaper per visit than one-offs.
• Tidy up before the cleaner arrives. Piles of clothes and dishes burn cleaner time on sorting. The cleaner ALREADY have to clean, not declutter.
• Set priorities. «Focus on bathroom and kitchen, rest if time allows» — if your budget doesn't cover a full deep clean.
• Avoid peak season. If you can push to September — prices drop 20–30%.

What to ask the cleaner up front

1. What's included in the price (extras like windows, appliance interiors — separate?)
2. What products do they bring (allergic to chlorine — is eco available?)
3. How long will it take
4. Working alone or with a helper
5. Can keys be left at reception or in a lockbox
6. Payment — cash, card or online transfer
