When ordering, you tell us how big your home is and based on the calculator created by our cleaning professionals we can recommend the cleaning time necessary for your home. The calculator helps you when choosing a cleaning time.

Because of the fact that all homes are different, we recommend to begin the cleanings with the time that our calculator gives to you. If the cleaning takes less time than expected, we’ll refund the unused time and shorten the scheduled cleaning time. The cleaning time is easier to shorten than lengthen!

We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to work at Freska, whether they speak Finnish or not 👍
