Cleaning Services in Kazakhstan: Real Prices 2026, How Not to Overpay and Protect Your Apartment

A clean apartment without your involvement sounds ideal. But how much does it actually cost in Almaty or Astana in 2026? And most importantly — how not to hand over an extra 10–15 thousand tenge for something that could have been included in the base price?

We studied current price lists of cleaning companies, private ads on OLX and Kaspi, reviews on 2GIS and contract terms. Here’s an honest breakdown without fluff.

Prices depend heavily on the city, square footage, level of dirt and exactly what needs to be done. Data is based on open price lists of major services in Almaty and Astana as of April 2026 (always confirm before ordering — prices may change).

For apartments that are already fairly clean and just need a “refresh”.
Approximate prices: from 550 ₸/m² or 8,000–20,000 ₸ for a 1–2-room apartment.
Time: 2–4 hours.
What’s usually included: dusting, floors, bathroom, kitchen surfaces, trash removal.

Deep clean: baseboards, inside windows, appliances, cabinets (sometimes partially).
From 900 ₸/m² or 22,000–45,000 ₸ for an apartment up to 80–120 m².
Example: 1–2 rooms — around 22,000–27,000 ₸.

The most expensive — removes construction dust, glue, streaks.
From 1,200 ₸/m² or from 35,000–70,000 ₸ depending on area.
Often requires a team and special equipment.

Window washing (2 sashes) — 1,000–2,500 ₸
Sofa dry cleaning — from 8,000 ₸
Fridge/oven — 2,000–3,000 ₸ each

Main factors:
- Area and number of rooms
- Condition (light dirt or “after cats and kids”)
- Additional services
- Urgency (same-day service — +20–30 %)
- Frequency (regular orders are cheaper)

Company
Pros: contract, property insurance (up to 5–16 million ₸ in some companies), team, checklist, quality guarantee, they’ll replace the cleaner if needed.
Cons: 20–40 % more expensive.

Private cleaner
Pros: cheaper (sometimes 1.5 times less), flexible schedule, can negotiate hourly rate (2,000–5,000 ₸/hour).
Cons: usually no insurance, harder to check reputation, one person — takes longer.

Conclusion: for general or post-renovation cleaning — better a company. For regular maintenance — a private cleaner with good reviews can also work if you check them thoroughly.

Always request the checklist before paying.
Standardly included: dusting, floors, plumbing, kitchen (outside).

Common surcharges (based on ABClean and other price lists):
- Inside cabinets and fridge
- Heavy soiling (surcharge 5–100 %)
- Large volume of dirty dishes
- Balcony cleaning
- Removal of bulky trash

Tip: ask for a full checklist and a fixed price before work starts.

1. Sign a contract (even with a private cleaner — at least in messenger with an inventory).
2. Photograph valuable items and documents before the cleaner arrives.
3. Hide documents, money, jewelry.
4. Choose a company with liability insurance.
5. Be present at least for the first cleaning or leave someone at home.
6. Don’t pay full amount in advance (usually 0–50 %).

Under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Protection of Consumer Rights”, the service provider is responsible for quality and safety of property.

Call professionals:
- After renovation
- General cleaning 1–2 times a year
- If you have allergies to dust
- When you have no time (work + kids)

Do it yourself:
- Daily maintenance
- Small apartment
- Very tight budget

Subscription (membership) is the most profitable option.
Example: 4 cleanings per month — discount up to 15–25 %. Some offer the 10th cleaning free.
Regular service saves 20–30 % compared to one-time orders and cleaners already know your apartment.

• First order — often –10–15 % with a promo code
• Weekdays after 5 PM
• Promotions on Kaspi and company Telegram channels
• Subscription
• Seasonal slowdowns (summer, January)

1. Determine the type of cleaning and square footage.
2. Compare 3–4 offers (website + OLX + 2GIS).
3. Request a checklist and exact price.
4. Check reviews (2GIS, Instagram).
5. Sign a contract / fix conditions in chat.
6. Make an inventory and take photos.
7. Accept the work according to the checklist.
8. Pay after (or partially).
