How much does a cleaning company cost in Jerez? Hourly prices 2026

You search for “hourly cleaning” and get every kind of price: very cheap ads, companies asking more than €25 an hour and calculators that never say whether VAT is included. That makes it hard to know what a fair price is. And what you actually get for it.

Here’s what an hour of cleaning really costs in 2026, what’s behind each price and what to ask before you book, with Jerez and the rest of the Bay of Cádiz in mind.

How much an hour of cleaning costs in 2026

The short answer: a cleaning company in Spain charges between €15 and €30 an hour, according to the Trustlocal price guide updated in September 2026. For cleaning a home, the usual range is €15 to €25.

Type of service	Guide price per hour
Basic home cleaning	€15–25
Office cleaning	€15–30
Residential building cleaning	€15–30
More complete or specialist services	up to €35
Medium-sized cities	€14–22
Madrid and Barcelona	€18–30

Two things to bear in mind. First, the source doesn’t say whether those prices include VAT, so treat them as a guide and always ask. Second, the size of the city matters. For Jerez and the Bay of Cádiz, the medium-sized city range is a better reference than Madrid or Barcelona.

If you’re looking for cleaning for a whole building, our guide on how to choose a cleaning company for your residential building explains what the contract should include.

Why a company charges more than a private individual

Hiring someone directly to clean your home can look cheaper per hour. But it isn’t the same thing. If you do it legally, you become their employer: you have to register them with Spain’s Social Security under the special scheme for household employees, pay their contributions and deal with holidays and sick leave yourself.

When you book a company, all of that is built into the hourly price. In practice, you’re paying for:

• VAT and a proper invoice, which an office or a residents’ association can’t do without.
• Staff insurance, in case there’s an accident or something gets broken in your home.
• The cleaner’s wages and contributions under the cleaning sector agreement.
• Products and professional equipment: vacuums, mops, degreasers, limescale remover.
• Cover when your usual cleaner is on holiday or off sick, so you’re never left without the service.
• The organisation: schedules, keys, last-minute changes and a single contact for everything.

That doesn’t mean one option is always better than the other. It means that when you compare, you need to compare like with like: a rate that includes VAT, insurance and products against one that doesn’t tells you very little.

Hourly, fixed price or monthly fee: how cleaning companies charge

Not every cleaning company charges the same way, and it helps to know what you’re comparing:

→ By the hour. You pay for the time the visit takes, usually with a minimum per visit. It’s flexible and suits homes and small offices with regular cleans.

→ A fixed price per job. One set price for a specific job: a deep clean, an end-of-tenancy clean, a sofa or a guest changeover. You know what you’ll pay before work starts, even if it takes a little longer.

→ A monthly fee. A fixed amount each month for an ongoing service, common for residential buildings, offices and hotels. What matters is that the contract says what’s included, how often and whether there’s a minimum term.

None is better than the others: it depends on the job. What you shouldn’t do is compare an hourly rate with a fixed price without working out how many hours it covers.

What makes hourly cleaning cost more or less

Two homes of the same size can need very different quotes. These are the factors that matter most:

→ Regular or deep clean. A deep clean takes longer and goes into more detail, so its hourly rate is usually higher.

→ How often. A home that’s cleaned every week stays on top, and each visit takes less work. That’s why weekly or fortnightly cleaning usually works out cheaper than one-off visits.

→ Size and layout. It isn’t just the floor area: every extra bathroom and bedroom adds work.

→ The state of the home. A place that hasn’t been cleaned for months, with grease in the kitchen or limescale in the bathrooms, needs a lot more time the first time round.

→ Extras. Inside the oven, the fridge, the cupboards, windows or ironing are usually quoted separately.

→ Travel. Outside the company’s home town a small travel supplement is normal, and in some areas parking too.

→ The minimum. Many companies won’t book less than two or three hours, because the journey isn’t worthwhile and there isn’t time for a complete clean.

Regular clean or deep clean: which do you need?

This is the choice that changes the price most, so it’s worth getting right.

A regular clean is the weekly one: dusting furniture and shelves, vacuuming and mopping the floors, the kitchen exteriors, bathrooms cleaned and disinfected, and fresh bed linen. It keeps a clean home clean, and it’s the basis of our home cleaning service.

A deep clean goes much further: doors, frames and switches one by one, tiles and grout, limescale on taps and shower screens, corners and the areas behind furniture that can be moved. It makes sense when you move in or out, for a change of season, or when it’s been a while since anyone cleaned thoroughly.

A practical tip: if your home needs a reset, start with a deep clean and then switch to a weekly or fortnightly regular clean. It works out better value than always booking long one-off cleans.

An example: comparing two quotes

Imagine you ask two companies for a price for a weekly clean of your home:

• Company A: €17 an hour + VAT, with products included.
• Company B: €20 an hour with VAT included, but you supply the products.

At first glance, A looks cheaper. But €17 plus 21% VAT is €20.57 an hour, so B is slightly cheaper per hour… until you add what you spend on products every month. And if A covers your cleaner’s holidays with someone else and B doesn’t, the comparison changes again.

The lesson is simple: before you decide, put both quotes on the same terms — with VAT, with products and with the same minimum number of hours. The figures in this example are illustrative, within the market ranges, and don’t belong to any particular company.

What to ask before you book

Before you say yes to any quote, ask these questions. They’ll save you surprises:

1. Is the price with or without VAT? It’s the most common difference between two quotes that look the same.
2. Is there a minimum number of hours per visit?
3. Are products and equipment included? If not, you’ll have to buy them.
4. Are the staff insured and properly registered?
5. Will the same person come every time? On a regular service, someone who knows your home makes all the difference.
6. How much notice do I need to change the day or cancel? And, for a monthly service, whether there’s a minimum contract.

With those answers in writing, comparing quotes is much easier. And fairer.

What to do next

If you already know what you need, the next step is getting a price. At Hola Limpio we’ve been cleaning homes and offices by the hour in Jerez and across the Bay of Cádiz since 2023: we bring the products and equipment, our staff are insured and, on a regular service, we try to send the same person every time.
