The 10 Best Apps for Home Cleaning

House cleaning can become a problem, for example, when both spouses work and there aren't the resources to hire a permanent cleaner. Technology, however, offers a way to provide a "tailored" service, even on an occasional basis (when necessary), through apps specifically designed to find suitable housecleaners.

Cost of service

A home cleaning service has an average price (which also varies based on the housekeeper's location) between 10 and 15 euros per hour , plus the commission paid to the platform providing the service. There are also apps that offer packages, with a specific number of hours (10 or 20) or even a longer period (for example, a week). The service is paid directly through the platform, similar to an Uber ride.

Batmaid

The Batmaid app , for example, works like this:

Log in and select the type of cleaning you need (e.g. house cleaning)
Enter the postcode for the area where the house for which you wish to request the service is located (currently the city of Milan)
Choose the cleaning duration
Select any extras
Select your preferred date and time slot

Housekeep

Housekeep also helps you find a suitable cleaner, but it also provides access to craftsmen such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, handymen, decorators, and gardeners. Although it's very popular abroad, its coverage in Italy is more patchy.

Helpling

Another platform that connects private individuals with cleaners is Helpling , which also has an app. Using it, you can find cleaners—insured against accidental damage up to €5 million—in your area. You can also request occasional or regular housecleaning services, depending on your needs.

Eeasyfeel

Simply enter your postcode and, in just a few moments, choose an "easycleaner" from those available in your municipality, selected by the Easyfeel app . You can complete everything online, conveniently, quickly, and securely. Yes, because payment is made once the service is completed.

Cleanzy

Cleanzy is also one of the best home cleaning apps . Like others, it lets you find a reliable cleaning professional by entering your zip code and any specific needs. You can also review the service on the website after using it. If you're not satisfied, Cleanzy will do its best to make it right.

Cleanster

The service offered by Cleanster.com is particularly smart : simply go to the website or app and provide not only the address but also the number of rooms and bathrooms you'd like cleaned. Based on this information, the estimated time needed for a thorough cleaning will be estimated.

Yoopies

It offers the possibility of finding both a house cleaner and a home helper. It's called Yoopies and is a platform that allows you to filter your search according to your needs. And, via instant messaging, you can arrange an introductory interview where you can ask all the relevant questions. To avoid any surprises.

Happyclean

Founded in Milan in 1999, Happy Clean specializes in cleaning services. However, it has expanded its offerings to include moving and clearance services, painting and whitewashing, and various maintenance services.

Serve it

Serviloo , like the previous services, is a domestic cleaning service : in this case, it's a dedicated platform, as there's no associated app. It allows you to request personalized quotes through the official website, guaranteeing the services of qualified and selected staff. Prices are clear from the outset and you can interact with them in person.

DoEmploy

DoEmploy lets you find and manage your own domestic staff. You can browse the profiles of local housekeepers, caregivers, and babysitters, read their references, and contact them directly via chat for an interview.

BadaFinder

Although the name suggests carers , it's also a very active search engine for housekeepers throughout Italy . The advantage of BadaFinder is that it also offers bureaucratic management services (via the BadaGest module) if you decide to hire the person regularly.

Subito.it

Finally, equally useful, though not specifically for housecleaning, are apps from sites like Subito.it and similar websites, where you can post ads looking for occasional in-home cleaning staff. It's definitely worth a try.
