A family-house clean, scaled to the footprint
Strovolos isn’t built around short-let guests the way the coast is. It’s the capital’s largest municipality, and the bigger properties here are homes people actually live in — detached houses on the residential streets off Keryneias Avenue, two-storey family villas with gardens toward the Athalassa green belt, and larger apartment blocks around the KEMA and Avenue side. When one of those turns over, it isn’t a quick tidy between holidaymakers. It’s a full reset across more bedrooms, more bathrooms, and real outdoor space — and that footprint needs a crew sized to it, not a flat-clean team stretched thin.
Send the address and a few photos on WhatsApp and we’ll quote it for what the place actually is.
The garden, the driveway, and the patio — the Strovolos footprint
Outdoor space is what separates a Strovolos villa clean from a flat clean. A lot of these houses come with a paved driveway at the front, a rear garden with a dining terrace, and a balcony or two upstairs. We sweep the paving, wipe down the outdoor furniture, and reset the layout where we can reach. Leaves, dust, and the everyday grit of a residential street get cleared off the hard surfaces the household uses. We don’t mow, weed, or touch the planting — we tidy what’s there, we don’t garden. If a hedge is overgrown when we arrive, we’ll flag it and leave it for whoever does the green work.
Where the pool line sits in Strovolos
Pools are rare in Strovolos — it’s a residential district, not a resort strip — so this comes up less often than it does on the coast. When a property does have one, we’re clear about the boundary. We clean the hard standing around the pool where access is safe, and reset any loungers or furniture nearby. We don’t touch the water, the chemicals, the filters, or the pump — that’s a pool technician, full stop. If the water reads cloudy or green when we walk in, we photograph it and message you before we start, so a new tenant or a viewing doesn’t walk into a surprise.
Tenant turnovers and end-of-tenancy, not Airbnb churn
A big share of our Strovolos work is landlord-driven. A long let ends on a family home, the keys come back, and the property has to be returned deposit-ready for the next tenant — or viewing-ready for an agent. That’s a different clean from a guest turnover. Inside the oven and the fridge, defrosted and wiped. Cupboard interiors emptied and cleaned. Limescale lifted off taps and shower glass. Skirting boards, door frames, and light fittings dusted. Wall marks and scuffs flagged to you in the photos rather than painted over or ignored. Tell us what the landlord needs handed back, and we’ll quote the actual job from the pictures you send.
Bedsheets and towels, and what stays your side
Bedsheets and towels: we change them when clean replacements are already at the property — we don’t supply the items ourselves. A larger Strovolos house often has four or five bedrooms’ worth of linen, and many of these homes keep the owner’s own sets in a cupboard rather than a hotel-style stack. So the count matters before we turn up. If the linen cupboard runs short on the day, we photograph what’s missing and message you before we strip a single bed — no bare mattresses, no surprise on the photo proof.
Quoting a larger Strovolos home honestly
There’s no flat rate that covers a Strovolos villa honestly, because a 3-bed house off Keryneias and a 5-bed with a garden near Athalassa aren’t the same job. Bedrooms, bathrooms, stairs, the condition it’s been left in, and the outdoor footprint all move the figure — and we price each one from photos. Small apartments usually start from about €45; the larger Strovolos homes run higher and are quoted individually. Send the area, the room counts, and a few photos on WhatsApp and you’ll get a single clear number back, not a range. If a tenant leaves late and the next one’s arriving, same-day cover is there when our diary allows — tell us the date and the finish time and we’ll say yes or no in minutes.
Where we work in and around Strovolos
We cover Strovolos itself, the Athalassa side, and the surrounding residential streets of the capital — plus Engomi, Aglantzia, Lakatamia, and Latsia across Nicosia, and beyond the city to Larnaca, Limassol, Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Paralimni. Larger house somewhere we haven’t named? Send the location on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm whether we can take it on.
