Cleaning in Laim
Laim is a residential district, and that shows in the work. It is almost always about multi-party buildings: stairwell, cellar corridor, laundry room, courtyard – the areas everyone shares and nobody feels solely responsible for. The client is usually the property manager or the owners association, rarely an individual party.
For a stairwell in a multi-party building, the issue is less technique than reliability. What matters is that someone turns up at the agreed time, does the same scope every time, and reports anything that is not right. We agree a fixed cycle with you and put in writing what it covers – from the attic to the cellar corridor.
People judge a staircase by the floor but use the handrail. That is the whole difference between looking clean and being clean — and because these surfaces never look dirty, they are fixed in our scope rather than left to the judgement of the day.
How the district grew
Laim grew with the railway. A large marshalling yard was built west of the city, and the people who worked there needed homes nearby. Within a few decades a village became a place to live for railway workers and their families.
Building happened mainly in the 1920s and 1930s and again after the war: terraces and blocks of three to five storeys, plain façades, straight stairwells, plenty of green between the buildings. There is little grandeur here, but a great many flats.
For cleaning, that is a clear starting point. The buildings are simple and straightforward to work in; the effort comes from the number of parties, the flights of stairs and the ancillary areas in the cellar.
What you will find here
Buildings in the district
- Residential terraces and blocks from the 1920s to 1950s, three to five storeys
- Straight stairwells with stone or cast-stone steps and simple balustrades
- Cellar corridors with storage compartments, laundry room and drying room
- Green space and courtyards between the buildings, often with bicycle racks and bin areas
- Occasional new buildings with lifts and underground parking on infill plots
- Small shops and practices at street level along the main roads
What usually comes up
- Stairwell cleaning on a fixed cycle, from ground floor to attic
- Sweeping and mopping cellar corridors, laundry room and drying room
- Handrails, doorbell panels, letterbox banks and light switches as contact surfaces
- Cleaning the courtyard and bin area, clearing leaves in autumn
- Cleaning flats at move-out or handover
- Stairwell window cleaning, at ground level and from inside the opening
Access and parking
- In the residential streets a space is usually findable – unlike in the city centre
- Around Laim station and the main roads it gets tighter
- Many buildings have no lift; we carry up three to five storeys and price it in
- Cellar access is often locked – please clarify in advance how we get in
- A key or a keypad code for the front door and cellar saves time at every visit
- Where there is underground parking and we may use it, the visit gets shorter
What is different here
Cellar and stairwell
The cellar almost always drops out of the job, because nobody sees it daily. Yet it is exactly there that things build up over months which would be noticed at once upstairs. So we ask about it explicitly with every quote: it is either included or it is not — it does not get done silently.
One place where cleaning firms regularly walk into conflict: whatever gets left in the stairwell. Bicycles, prams, shoe racks. We touch none of it. Moving something means taking a side in a dispute between neighbours – and that decision belongs to the management, not the cleaners. We work around it and pass on where it permanently gets in the way.
Handover and one contact
A move-out clean is not about cleanliness but about the handover: what the landlord accepts decides whether the deposit comes back. So we look at the flat beforehand and say honestly how much time we need, rather than quoting a figure that falls short on the day.
One contact is enough. We need exactly one person to decide on cycles, the agreed scope and access to the front door and cellar – not three who first have to agree among themselves. Once that person is named, half the queries settle themselves before they arise.

Questions from this district
Who commissions the stairwell cleaning?
Usually the property manager or the owners association. We need a named contact, the cycle, and confirmation of whether cellar, laundry room, courtyard and attic are included.
Do you move bicycles out of the stairwell?
No. We clean around them and tell you if something is permanently in the way. Whether it may stand there is for the management to decide, not the cleaners.
Can you take on several buildings for us?
Yes. If they are in the same district we put them on the same working day where possible – travel costs then arise only once.
What does stairwell cleaning in Laim cost?
By time: €25 per person and working hour, plus €18 travel costs once per working day and job. No VAT is charged, in accordance with § 19 of the German VAT Act. How long a building takes depends on the storeys and the scope – we look at that beforehand. There is no minimum order value.
