Are there English-speaking cleaning agencies in Barcelona?

Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.

What should I check before hiring cleaning agencies in Barcelona?

Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.

What is the most important thing to know before booking?

Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.

What should I avoid when hiring cleaning agencies in Barcelona?

Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.

How do I explain what I need if my Spanish is limited?

A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.

How do you say cleaning agencies in Spanish?

In Spanish, cleaning agencies are usually called empresas de limpieza. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.

How do I find cleaning agencies I can trust in Barcelona?

Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.

We have been working with Maribel and her team for almost a year and a few months, and quite well. They support us a lot with cleaning services and check ins for our co-living company in Barcelona, and if anything comes up they report it immediately and they are also available for last minute services. The service is quite professional, we rarely receive any complaint, and they always go beyond what we need. We are very happy with them and would recommend them for cleaning, and also for maintenance and transportation because they always help us with options.

Luis has been helping me for around three years. At the beginning it was just for cleaning, then he started helping me with little maintenance, normal stuff at home, and he is super careful with everything. I have two cats and I travel a lot with a quite strict schedule, and he was always on time and I feel safe with all his work. Price felt fair and he is really professional, so I keep working with him and I really like his job.

I ordered a cleaning service from Maribel because I needed to clean the whole apartment after moving out, so it would be ready to give back to the agency. We agreed on the time, the communication was really quick, and everything went really smoothly, even though I needed it almost for the next day. The cleaner was really friendly and finished in the three hours they said it would take. The only thing is it would be good to know in advance if the cleaner is bringing her own things or if I need to have something at the flat, but besides that everything was great.
