End-of-lease cleaning in Locarno: hand back your apartment without arguments
Windows, frames, shutters, oven, fridge and bathrooms cleaned thoroughly, with dated photos once the job is done.
Angolli specialises in handover cleaning in Locarno and the Locarno area, where many lakeside apartments change tenant at the end of the season or get refreshed for sale. We know exactly what property managers and owners look at during the handover — often people living in German-speaking Switzerland who can't attend in person — and we clean exactly that, with dated photos that stand in for the in-person visit. Free quote within 24 hours, even from just a few photos.

Handover cleaning in Locarno for anyone who…
End of season, end of contract, sale or change of tenant: the result required is the same, an apartment handed over thoroughly clean.
Is closing the season and needs to hand back a holiday home
Many second homes in Locarno, Muralto and Minusio free up at the end of the season, often owned by people living in German-speaking Switzerland or abroad who can't be there in person. We take care of the full clean and send you dated photos in place of a site visit.
Manages or administers rental apartments in the Locarno area
Cleaning between one tenant and the next, on a fixed schedule, with dated photos you can attach to the handover report.
Is selling or renovating a lakeside property
An empty apartment to present for viewings, or a clean after building work: fixed quote, no surprises.
The points that matter at handover
An end-of-lease clean is two or three times a regular clean. The scope is written into the quote; these elements are always there.
Windows, frames and shutters
Glass on both sides, frames and tracks cleaned thoroughly, shutters and their boxes: in apartments with large lake-facing windows and balconies in Locarno, Muralto and Minusio, this is the item that weighs most on the result.
Kitchen and appliances
Oven and hobs, defrosted fridge and freezer, extractor hood and filters, dishwasher, inside of cupboards and drawers, under furniture where possible.
Thorough bathrooms
Fixtures and taps free of limescale, shower and tub, grout, wall tiles, drains and ventilation grilles: the humidity off the lake quickly leaves limescale marks and stains that we clean out thoroughly.
Doors, frames and skirting boards
Doors, door frames, handles, light switches and skirting boards in every room; radiators and air vents.
Floors and built-in wardrobes
Vacuuming and washing suited to the material, inside of built-in wardrobes and storage rooms, cellar and balcony on request.
Final check and photos
Cross-check against our handover checklist and dated photos of every room once the job is done.
Clearance, furniture dismantling and minor repairs aren't included, but we can coordinate them with trusted partners: just ask us when requesting the quote.
Before and after: end-of-lease work
Genuine photos from our end-of-lease jobs across Ticino. Drag the slider from before to after: limescale, grease and grime really do disappear.

How much does end-of-lease cleaning cost in Locarno?
The price depends mainly on the number of windows and shutters, the condition of the kitchen and bathrooms and the level of dirt, much more than on square metres. The quote gives you a fixed price for the scope described: no surprise hourly count.

Handover in a few days?

We clean for the handover, not for appearances
We know what gets checked
Window frames, shutter tracks, fridge seals, behind the toilet: our handover checklist comes from real handovers done in Locarno and the Locarno area, not a generic manual.
Dated photos for the report
At the end of the job you get dated photos of every room: especially useful if you can't be there in person for the handover, for example because you live in German-speaking Switzerland or abroad. If anyone disputes the state of the apartment, you have proof of its condition at handover.
Free touch-up
If a detail within the agreed scope is flagged in the report, we come back and fix it at no cost. We sell a result, not hours.
Declared and insured staff
Employed, insured collaborators paid under the Ticino cleaning-sector collective agreement (CCL). No risk for you and no surprises on the invoice.
Frequently asked questions about end-of-lease cleaning in Locarno
What we're asked most often before a handover.
How much does end-of-lease cleaning cost in Locarno?
It depends mainly on the number of windows and shutters, the condition of the kitchen and bathrooms and the level of dirt. In the quote, free and within 24 hours, we give a fixed price for the scope described. The online calculator gives you an instant idea of the hours and team needed.
Does the cleaning meet property-manager handover standards?
We clean to a handover checklist built on real handovers done in Locarno and the Locarno area: windows on both sides, frames, shutters, appliances inside and out, thorough bathrooms, doors and skirting boards. If a detail within the agreed scope is flagged in the report, we come back and fix it for free.
How long does it take and how many people come?
A two-room flat usually needs half a day with two people; a 4–5 room apartment with a lake view and more windows in Locarno, Muralto or Minusio can take a full day or more. Use the online calculator for an estimate and ask us for the exact quote.
Do I need to be there for the key handover?
Not necessarily. Many owners of holiday homes and second homes in the Locarno area live in German-speaking Switzerland or abroad and can't be there in person: we agree by message on who hands us the keys, clean to the agreed scope, and send you dated photos of every room once the job is done.
Do you also clean the cellar, balcony and garage?
Yes, on request and listed in the quote. Balconies, common in lake-view buildings across the Locarno area, cellars, storage boxes and outbuildings are added as separate items so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Do you also handle furniture clearance?
Clearance isn't included in the cleaning, but we coordinate trusted partners for dismantling, transport and disposal. Tell us what you need in the quote and we'll propose a single date.
How far in advance should I book?
Better one or two weeks ahead, especially at the end of the tourist season (September–October), when many holiday homes across the Locarno area free up at once. For urgent cases, message us anyway: when we have a free team, we can step in within 48 hours.
