Did you know that DM offers a free carpet and sofa cleaner rental for 1–3 days? You can borrow the professional Sapur cleaning machine at no cost. The only requirement is that you purchase one bottle of the Sapur cleaning solution in store.
This is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to deep-clean carpets, sofas, mattresses, chairs, rugs, or car interiors without paying for expensive professional services.
How the Free Rental Works
- Visit your local DM store and go to the service counter
- Buy one bottle of Sapur cleaning solution
- Borrow the cleaning machine for 1 to 3 days completely free
- Use it at home for carpets, sofas, upholstery, and mattresses
- Return the machine to the same DM store once finished
The cleaning device is compact, easy to use, and powerful enough for deep dirt removal. Perfect if you want to refresh your home, clean after moving out, or remove stains from soft furniture.
Save Money: Claim Back Tax on Your Cleaning Costs
In Germany, private households can deduct part of their cleaning costs from their income tax as “haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen” (household-related services). This applies in Berlin and nationwide.
How Much Can You Get Back?
You can claim back 20% of the labour costs for cleaning services, up to a maximum of €4,000 per year.
Example: If you spend €1,800 per year on a cleaner, you can get up to €360 back through your tax return.
Which Cleaning Costs Are Eligible?
- Regular apartment or house cleaning
- Deep cleaning and one-off intensive cleans
- Move-out / end-of-tenancy cleaning
- Window cleaning
- Ironing and other household-related cleaning work
What Is Not Eligible?
- Cash payments without an invoice
- Cleaning services paid “under the table”
- Material costs only (e.g. detergents, equipment) without labour
Requirements for the Tax Office
- You receive a proper invoice from the cleaning company
- You pay by bank transfer (no cash)
- The provider is legally registered in Germany

Best Neighborhoods to Live in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is one of Germany’s most convenient cities for expats — strong job market, great public transport, international community, and fast access to Munich, Nuremberg, and Augsburg. But choosing the right neighborhood makes a huge difference in cost, lifestyle, and commute times.
Below is a **modern, simplified, expat-focused guide** to help you understand which areas make sense depending on your goals: city life, family life, nature, price, or proximity to major employers.
Where to Live in Frankfurt?
The first big decision is choosing between the areas north of the Main River (closer to the financial district, major employers, and city life) and those south of the river (quieter, more residential, and generally better value).
Mitte
The most central and walkable area. Ideal for students, young professionals, and anyone who wants cafés, nightlife, and the old town within minutes. Public transport and cycling infrastructure are excellent, but expect higher rent and limited parking. Flatshares are common and a great way to meet people when you first arrive.
Nordwest & Nordost
These areas sit near Frankfurt’s largest employers — engineering, automotive, manufacturing, and utilities. Modern apartments, quick access to Westpark shopping mall, and both rail and long-distance bus connections make this ideal for workers and small families. A strong choice if you want a balanced lifestyle close to work without feeling isolated.
Friedrichshofen
Family-friendly, calm, and well-connected. Close to the hospital, gyms, parks, and Westpark mall. Ideal if you want quieter evenings but still need a short commute. Prices are slightly above average due to high demand from families and professionals.
Oberhaunstadt
Located near large retail zones and industrial employers. Best suited for people working in the northeastern business districts. This area is more practical than scenic — perfect if you value convenience over nightlife.
Living South of the Donau
The south is more relaxed, more affordable, and better for families or anyone who prefers green spaces over city noise. Good public transport connections keep you close to the center.
Brückenkopf
A social, energetic district with parks, restaurants, and riverside areas used heavily in summer. Popular with students and newcomers who want quick access to the city without paying Mitte prices.
Ringsee, Münchnerstrasse & Kothau
These areas offer great value-for-money and direct access to nature. Biking paths, lakes, jogging routes, and the Audi Sports Park are nearby. If you work south of the city or commute toward Munich, this location is extremely convenient.
Zuchering
One of the quietest districts, ideal for families or anyone wanting a slow-paced, nature-focused lifestyle. Lots of lakes, playgrounds, and forest walking routes. Not ideal for students or people who need nightlife.
