From Belval to Mont Soleuvre: very different homes
The municipality of Sanem is made up of four localities: Belvaux, Soleuvre, Sanem and Ehlerange. Belvaux, the largest of the four, is home to the municipal administration and borders Belval, the district built on the former steelworks site, which extends across both Sanem and Esch-sur-Alzette. Around the University of Luxembourg campus, most people live in flats in newly built blocks.
Elsewhere, the municipality looks quite different. Soleuvre, at the foot of Mont Soleuvre, has grown considerably since the post-war years; Sanem village has kept its character around its Renaissance castle; Ehlerange is the smallest of the four localities. In Belval, the home to be cleaned is usually a flat in a modern apartment block, whereas in Soleuvre it is more often a house spread over several floors. That is why we agree the length of each visit and the list of tasks for each home individually.
Our home cleaning service covers the routine care of floors, surfaces, the kitchen and bathrooms. Further tasks can be added as you need them.
Where to start?
- Floors, dusting, kitchen and bathrooms
- Ironing or changing the bed linen
- Windows: mention them in your request
- Regular or one-off visits
A service that can change with your household
Start with what you need today. If your routine or priorities change later, simply tell us how you would like the cleaning to be organised from then on.
From routine cleaning to end-of-tenancy cleaning
A home cleaner for your house or flat
For the upkeep of a house or flat: floors, dusting, kitchen and bathrooms, plus any extra tasks you choose, such as ironing, bed linen or the inside of cupboards.
- Every week or every two weeks
- Or just one visit when you need it
- Open-ended contract with no minimum term: 15 days' notice to end it
Common areas of residential buildings
Newer apartment buildings in Belval and Belvaux have entrance halls, stairwells and often a lift. The property manager or the co-owners can ask us to quote for cleaning the common areas: the areas covered and how often they are cleaned are agreed after we have visited the building.
- Entrance hall and letterboxes
- Stairs, landings and handrails
- Lift car and doors
Moving in, building work, end of tenancy
Before you move into a new-build home, after renovation work or before the move-out inspection, the more thorough clean falls under our end-of-tenancy and post-renovation cleaning service. We look at the property before drawing up the quote.
- Building dust before you move in
- Kitchen, cooker hood and bathrooms before the inspection
- Directly accessible windows, if included in the quote
What to mention, depending on where you live
Belvaux and Belval
For a flat in a residential building, tell us which floor it is on, how to get into the building (key fob, intercom) and whether there is a balcony or patio doors. Windows are cleaned when they are directly accessible and covered by the quote.
- Floor and building access
- Balcony and patio doors
- How often you would like visits
Sanem village
In an older or renovated house, say which levels to include (stairs, cellar, attic) and point out any floors that need particular care, such as old parquet or natural stone.
- Levels and stairs
- Delicate floors to point out
- Rooms to clean at every visit
Soleuvre and Ehlerange
If you have a garden, most of the dirt comes in through the front door and the back door. Mention these entry points in your request so that they are dealt with first.
- Front and back doors
- Priority rooms
- Tasks to alternate from one visit to the next
Regular or one-off: start from what you really need
If you are short of time every week, regular cleaning is usually the simplest arrangement. You choose which rooms to keep on top of and how often the visits take place.
If the need is temporary, a one-off clean can cover just a few rooms or be a more thorough clean. There is no need to book regular visits afterwards.
Either way, think about the jobs that rarely come first: inside the oven or fridge, cupboards, skirting boards, radiators, ironing, bed linen or directly accessible windows. You decide which of them belong in your request.
Your questions, from Belvaux to Ehlerange
Belval straddles Sanem and Esch: can a home cleaner come on both sides?
Yes. If your home is in the municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette, see also our page on home cleaning in Esch-sur-Alzette. Either way, include your full address in your request.
Can the cleaning be done while I'm at work?
Yes, provided access to your home is arranged in advance, for example by handing over a key. For private households, we work Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 6 pm, so the visit can take place while you are at work in Belval, in Esch or elsewhere.
I've just moved into a new-build flat in Belval: where should I start?
In a new build, fine construction dust often lingers in cupboards, on sills and in window tracks. A thorough first clean, scoped after a visit, can be done before regular cleaning starts. Our article on post-construction cleaning goes through the points to check.
We're leaving a rented flat in Belvaux: what should we check before the inspection?
The oven and hob tend to come to mind first. In our experience, the check-out inspection also picks up on the cooker hood filters, the tops of wall cupboards where they can be reached (grease settles there), bathrooms, skirting boards and door frames. Our end-of-tenancy checklist helps you see what is still to be done before deciding whether you need an end-of-tenancy clean.
Could the first visit be a one-off, to see whether regular cleaning suits us?
Yes. You can ask for a one-off clean before deciding whether regular cleaning would be useful to you.
Do ironing and window cleaning fit into a visit?
Yes, list them among the tasks you would like: ironing, and interior and exterior windows that are directly accessible, if they are included in the quote. It helps to keep them separate from the routine cleaning.
