How Ruiz prices office cleaning in Hamburg
Three pillars set the price: the generally binding collective wage, transparent sample prices on our Comfort Tariff with a binding fixed price after a free on-site assessment, and month-to-month cancellation with no minimum term.
- Collective-wage basis (IG BAU 2026): Personnel costs make up 75–80% of total cost. Collective wage, pay group 1, from January 2026: EUR 15.00 gross/hour plus 25% ancillary wage costs = EUR 18.75 in pure personnel cost. From this the collective-bargaining-compliant hourly rate of EUR 33 net is derived.
- Comfort Tariff sample price: The prices shown here are sample calculations on our Comfort Tariff — a transparent fixed-price model. Your binding monthly fixed price is calculated after a free on-site assessment and documented in a written scope-of-services document (Leistungsverzeichnis). Professional cleaning agents from Dr. Schnell, travel and commercial liability insurance are included — only 19% VAT is added on top.
- Month-to-month: No minimum term, no notice periods, no hidden clauses. We adjust scope and frequency whenever you need — whether you're a growing startup or an established law firm.
For industry-specific requirements we adapt the scope-of-services document and frequency: discretion for law-firm cleaning, hardware protection for tech companies, file-handling care for tax consultants, and creative time slots for marketing agencies.

Cost per hour and per m² — with the derivation
The per-square-metre price for office cleaning in Hamburg is between EUR 1.65 and EUR 3.87 net. The Hamburg average based on Ruiz experience: around EUR 2.70/m². The collective wage applies uniformly across Germany — regional differences come mainly from travel distances, site density and local market structure.
The collective-bargaining-compliant hourly rate for office cleaning in Hamburg is EUR 33 net. Basis: collective wage EUR 15.00/hour gross (pay group 1, IG BAU 2026) + 25% ancillary wage costs = EUR 18.75 in pure personnel cost per hour.
Because personnel costs account for 75–80% of total cost, EUR 33 net is the realistic hourly rate. Hourly rates under EUR 25 net cannot be reconciled mathematically with collective-bargaining-compliant pay.
Anyone pushing the hourly rate below EUR 25 inevitably cuts the collective wage or the cleaning time — both come at the cost of staff or quality.
What goes into the price
75–80% of the total cost of office cleaning is personnel cost. The remainder splits across materials, operations, quality assurance and margin. Anyone pushing the price down almost always cuts personnel — either through wages or through cleaning time.
Collective wage
EUR 15.00/hour gross from Jan. 2026, generally binding. Applies to every cleaning company in Germany.
Ancillary wage costs
Social security, BG BAU, holiday pay, statutory sick pay, Christmas bonus.
Materials & equipment
Professional cleaning agents by Dr. Schnell, colour-coded microfibre cloths, machine wear, consumables.
Operations & admin
Vehicles, commercial liability cover up to EUR 5M, quality control, scheduling, margin.
Why cheap office cleaning ends up expensive
If someone offers you office cleaning for EUR 22 an hour, ask yourself: how is this company paying its people? Personnel cost alone is EUR 18.75 — that leaves exactly EUR 3.25 from EUR 22 for materials, vehicles, insurance and profit. It doesn't work.
⚠️ Three levers — all three hit you as the client
- Wages cut: collective wage undercut or paid in cash. You're co-liable — Section 28e SGB IV (subcontractor liability).
- Time cut: 400 m² in one hour instead of two. Sticky floors, unhygienic sanitary areas.
- Staff swapped: subcontractors with no onboarding. A new face in your office every week.

Hourly rate What does office cleaning per hour cost in Hamburg?
Office cleaning in Hamburg costs EUR 33 net per hour. Derivation: collective wage EUR 15.00/hour gross (PG 1, IG BAU 2026) + 25% ancillary wage costs = EUR 18.75 in personnel cost. Because personnel costs account for 75–80%, EUR 33 net is the result. Hourly rates below EUR 25 net cannot be reconciled with collective-bargaining-compliant pay.
Per m² What does office cleaning per m² cost in Hamburg?
Office cleaning in Hamburg costs between EUR 1.65 and EUR 3.87 net per square metre (Comfort Tariff: EUR 3.87/m² at 100 m² · 1x/week, EUR 1.65/m² at 400 m² · 1x/week). Hamburg market average based on Ruiz experience: around EUR 2.70/m². The building-cleaning collective wage applies uniformly across Germany — meaningful regional differences come mainly from travel distances, site density and local market structure.
Fair price What is a fair price for cleaning my Hamburg office?
A fair, collective-bargaining-compliant price for office cleaning in Hamburg (as of 2026) is on average EUR 2.70 net per square metre. When calculating by effort, expect an hourly rate of EUR 33 net.
Offers with hourly rates below EUR 25 net do not economically cover the statutory building-cleaning collective wage (EUR 15.00 gross/hour, pay group 1, IG BAU 2026) including 25% ancillary wage costs. Clients are liable under Section 28e SGB IV for unpaid social security contributions.
Dumping Why are some providers significantly cheaper?
Significantly cheaper providers cut corners in one or more areas:
- On wages: undercutting the generally binding minimum wage for building cleaning.
- On time: unrealistic area output per hour at the expense of quality.
- On staff: subcontractors with no site knowledge and no proper onboarding.
At hourly rates below EUR 25 net, clients face a legal risk through subcontractor liability under Section 28e SGB IV (liability for unpaid social security contributions).
Contract Is the contract at Ruiz month-to-month?
The contract at Ruiz Gebäudereinigung Hamburg is month-to-month — with no minimum term and no notice periods. The fixed price is calculated individually after a free on-site assessment. We adjust scope and frequency whenever you need.

- Usable floor area: the exact number of square metres (m²).
- Cleaning frequency: how often per week cleaning takes place (e.g. 1x, 2x or 5x).
- Sanitary facilities: number and fit-out of WCs.
- Special areas: kitchens, reception, conference rooms.
- Floor coverings: carpet, vinyl, parquet or tiles.
- Accessibility: floor, lift, access controls.
