I'm moving out of my rental apartment in Amsterdam next month and the windows haven't been properly cleaned in about 3 years. The frames are grimy, there's buildup on the glass, and I'm worried the landlord will deduct cleaning costs from my deposit. Should I hire a professional or will this cost more than what I might lose anyway?
β Accepted answer
Professional window cleaning for neglected frames typically costs β¬150ββ¬350 for a standard apartment, depending on how many windows, their size, and buildup severity. Amsterdam cleaners usually charge β¬25ββ¬45 per window or a flat rate for the whole job. If frames have paint or caulk issues, costs may be higher. Your landlord can only deduct 'reasonable' cleaning costs under Dutch rental law (BW 7:233); excessive deductions are often disputed successfully. Getting a quote first from a verified professional on AstraNL will show you the real costβoften cheaper than losing deposit money or facing a dispute.
