Many guests and apartment owners wonder where the cleaning fee comes from. Some believe that the amount of PLN 250 is too high, others believe that the operator collects it for themselves. In reality, apartment cleaning is a number of activities, staff remuneration costs, cleaning products, laundry and welcome kits.
Below we have provided an actual cost breakdown to show you exactly what this amount consists of. All prices are approximate, presented to explain what makes up the final price of cleaning.
1. The remuneration of the cleaning staff when cleaning the apartment
Professional cleaning is not just a quick vacuuming of the apartment, but full preparation of the apartment for new guests.
The scope of duties includes:
✅ Bathroom cleaning (washing the toilet, shower, mirrors, floors),
✅ Vacuuming, dusting, making beds,
✅ Washing dishes, checking kitchen equipment,
✅ Checking the condition of the apartment after the guests,
✅ Preparing a welcome kit.
For example, cleaners earn on average PLN 30 net per hour (PLN 40 gross), and standard cleaning takes about 2.5 hours, what gives 100 PLN for salary.
2. Cost of cleaning products and welcome kits
Each cleaning requires the use of professional chemicals and accessories:
🧴 Liquids for cleaning floors, bathrooms and kitchens,
🗑️ Garbage bags, toilet paper,
🧺 Laundry and dishwasher capsules,
☕ Welcome kit (carbonated and still water, coffee in capsules, tea, sugar).
Cost:
- Cleaning products – PLN 20,
- Welcome kit – PLN 10.
3. Cost of washing bed linen and towels
Washing bed linen is a significant expense that is often forgotten. Each guest uses a set, which includes:
- bedsheet,
- duvet cover,
- pillowcase,
- large and small towel.
Total weight: 3kg. The cost of washing is 10 PLN per kg, so one wash for one person is 30 PLN.
On average, a 4-person apartment has 1 person living there. 3 guests per stay, which gives:
3 × 3 kg × 10 PLN = 90 PLN for washing bed linen and towels.
4. Bedding amortization – PLN 30 per reservation
Many operators require owners to purchase their own bed linen and towels, which means an expense about 3000 PLN (for a 4-person apartment).
IN 2homerent the owners do not bear this cost. The company changes bed linen every 100 reservations, and the depreciation cost is spread over the guests, amounting to 30 PLN per stay.
5. Full settlement of cleaning costs
In summary, the fee 250 PLN includes:
✔ 2.5 hours of cleaning work – 100 PLN,
✔ Cleaning products - 20 PLN,
✔ Welcome kit - 10 PLN,
✔ Washing bed linen and towels – 90 PLN,
✔ Bedding amortization – 30 PLN.
Owners they do not incur additional costs, and guests can be sure that the apartment is always clean, hygienic and professionally prepared.
