Frequently asked questions
I'm starting a cleaning company for offices, homes, and shops — ATECO code 81.21.00 or the sanitation code?
Yes, 81.21.00. This code covers non-specialised general cleaning of all types of buildings: offices, private dwellings, factories, shops, and apartment blocks. Sanitation, disinfection, and pest control have their own dedicated code at 81.23.10.
I only clean private homes — do I fall under 81.21.00 or household services?
Usually 81.21.00. The ATECO description explicitly includes domestic cleaning and cleaning of private dwellings within general building cleaning. This is routine cleaning. For specialised work such as facade cleaning, chimney cleaning, or industrial cleaning, the reference is 81.22.09.
I also clean cellars, lofts, and garages and carry out clearances — is that still general cleaning or a different code?
It's still 81.21.00. The code covers general cleaning and clearance of cellars, lofts, and garages. It remains non-specialised cleaning. If the activity moves into external facade cleaning or industrial cleaning, see 81.22.09.
