Villa Cleaning in Confignon

Yes, and in a detached house we would argue you should not separate them. The basement level is where the boiler, the washing machine and the dryer sit, and it is the main source of the dust and lint that ends up on the floors above. We dust, wash the floor, wipe down the machines and their surrounds, and do a visual check for visible leaks or damp patches around the boiler and the drains. If anything looks like it needs a plumber, it goes in the report rather than being left for you to find.

No, it is the normal case in Confignon. We plan the visit floor by floor and work from the top down so nothing falls onto finished work, and the staircase is treated as its own item: treads, risers, stringers, handrail and balusters, plus the landings. On old wooden stairs we keep moisture to a minimum — a well-wrung cloth or mop, never water standing in the joints between tread and riser, which is where old stairs start to fail.

We identify the finish before we touch anything. Waxed and oiled parquet is cleaned with a soap made for that finish and a barely damp mop, and dry patches can be re-waxed or re-oiled locally. Varnished or vitrified boards get a pH-neutral cleaner and the same controlled moisture. No steam, no standing water, no all-purpose degreaser. Natural stone flags and thresholds are cleaned acid-free throughout, because vinegar and standard limescale removers etch calcareous stone permanently.

Yes, for everything safely reachable. That means the bay glazing, the veranda from the inside including the glass roof, skylights within reach, and in every case the frames, seals and sliding runners — which is where the dirt actually accumulates in a house surrounded by fields. Pollen in spring and dry dust off the plateau in late summer are the two moments when this makes the biggest difference, so many owners time a deep clean around them.

Yes. We empty the firebox, clean the hearth, the surround and the stone or tiled base, de-soot the glass door with a product made for stove glass, and take the ash away with us rather than putting it in your bin. This is cleaning, not chimney sweeping — the flue itself is a job for the ramoneur, and we will tell you if it looks like it is due.

Yes. We prepare the house for the état des lieux (handover inspection) and work through it room by room to the standard the inspection applies, so the garantie de loyer (rent deposit) is returned in full. For a detached house that includes the cellar, the laundry, the garage and the outdoor thresholds, which are exactly the areas people overlook and inspectors do not. We coordinate the date with your régie (property management company) and can attend the inspection if you want us there.

We check the access at the site visit. The lanes through the hilltop core are steep, narrow and often one-way, with walls on both sides and nowhere to stand, so we send a vehicle that fits and unload in your own courtyard or driveway. Where there is genuinely no space on the property we agree a drop-off point with you beforehand. There is no surcharge for difficult access.

It gets sorted and dealt with properly. Recyclables go out according to the commune's collection calendar, and when a deep clean produces more than your bins can take — cellar clear-outs and garage cleans usually do — we make a run to the déchetterie (recycling centre) as part of the job. Ash and fireplace debris always leave with us.

Travel is always included in the fixed quote, with no supplement for the hill or the narrow lanes. For frequency, most houses here run on weekly or fortnightly maintenance with the same team, plus a seasonal deep clean in spring and autumn when pollen and field dust are at their worst. One-off deep cleans before a move, a sale or a family event are equally possible.
