How much does professional cleaning of hardened grease behind kitchen appliances cost before moving out in Utrecht?

by AstraNL Communityβ–² 01 views

I'm moving out of my rental apartment in Utrecht next month. The landlord wants the kitchen spotless, and there's years of grease buildup behind and under the stove and fridge. I'm worried this will cost a fortune. Should I try to clean it myself or hire a professional? What's a realistic budget?

Professional deep cleaning behind and under kitchen appliances typically costs €150–€350 for a standard kitchen, depending on the size of the area, how stubborn the grease is, and whether the appliances need to be moved. Utrecht-based cleaners may charge slightly more due to local rates. What drives the cost: extent of buildup, accessibility, time required, and whether they need special equipment or degreasers. Since you're moving out, check your leaseβ€”many Dutch landlords expect 'normale slijtage'-level cleanliness (Dutch Civil Code BW 7:17), but heavy grease may exceed that. Attempting this yourself risks incomplete results and disputes with your landlord.
