Apartment Cleaning Services in Singapore: Condo, HDB and Prices

Last updated: 11 October 2026 · By the Sureclean cleaning team

Short answer: Apartment cleaning services in Singapore come in three types: weekly or fortnightly cleaning, a one-time deep or spring clean, and move-in or move-out cleaning. At Sureclean, weekly cleaning costs as little as $22/hour* (from $72* for a 3-hour session), move-in/move-out cleaning starts from $370* and spring cleaning from $600*. HDB prices depend on flat type, and condo jobs are quoted by size. You can book by WhatsApp on +65 6983 9523. If you live in a condo, check its rules for contractors and lift bookings first.

What do apartment cleaning services in Singapore cover?

In Singapore, an apartment is usually one of three types of home: an HDB flat (including new BTO units), a private condominium or a serviced apartment. The cleaning is broadly the same in each: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, surfaces and bedrooms. What changes is access, size and how often you need help.

Most households choose one of three services:

• Weekly or fortnightly cleaning: regular 3–5 hour sessions that keep the home in order. Sureclean’s weekly home cleaning includes ironing, laundry, dishes and changing bedsheets.
• One-time deep cleaning: a top-to-bottom spring clean, usually before the festive season, before guests arrive or after the home has been neglected for a while.
• Move-in, move-out or end-of-tenancy cleaning: a clean of the empty unit before handover or before you unpack.

Serviced apartments often come with housekeeping from the operator, so tenants there usually need only a move-out clean. Specialist jobs such as cleaning mattresses, sofas, curtains and washing machines are booked separately.

Weekly, one-time or move-in cleaning: which does your apartment need?

The right choice depends on how you use the home, not just on its size.

• Choose weekly or fortnightly cleaning if you work long hours, have young children or pets, or want a fixed routine. Weekly and fortnightly sessions cost the same per hour, and longer commitments get lower rates. A 3-room HDB flat or a two-bedroom condo usually fits into a 3–4 hour session.
• Choose a one-time deep clean if dust and grime have built up in places that regular cleaning misses, such as inside cabinets, window tracks, grout lines, behind appliances and on top of wardrobes.
• Choose move-in or move-out cleaning if the unit is empty. That is the easiest time to reach every shelf, drawer and corner, and landlords often expect the unit back in handover condition.

Many households do both: a deep clean first to bring the flat back to a clean state, then regular sessions to keep it that way. If you start weekly cleaning in a very dirty home, it usually takes several visits before the home looks right, so you pay for more hours in total.

How do condo rules and HDB layouts affect cleaning?

Condos and HDB estates each have practical details to plan for.

Condominiums. Many condos ask residents to register contractors with the management office or guardhouse before the visit. Some want a contractor form or the cleaners’ names in advance. For move-in, move-out and post-renovation jobs, check whether you need to book the service lift, whether the lift has to be padded, and which working hours are allowed. These are often weekdays and Saturday daytime only. You may also need to book visitor parking for the crew’s vehicle.

HDB flats. There is no guardhouse, but Town Council rules cover common corridors, so equipment and rubbish should not block walkways. New BTO units collected after renovation are covered in heavy construction dust. In older flats, the service yard and household shelter often collect clutter.

Serviced apartments. Check with the operator before you book outside help, because housekeeping may already be part of your lease.

Sort out these details before the booking date. If the guardhouse turns the crew away, the slot is lost and the job has to be rescheduled.

How much does apartment cleaning cost in Singapore?

Prices depend on the type of service and, for one-time jobs, on the size of the unit. These are Sureclean’s published starting prices, all before GST:

• Weekly or fortnightly home cleaning: as low as $22/hour*, usually 3–5 hours a session (from $72* for 3 hours).
• Move-in, move-out or end-of-tenancy cleaning: from $370*. Most jobs cost $475–$525*.
• One-time spring or deep cleaning: from $600*. Most jobs cost $700–$800*.
• Post-renovation cleaning for HDB flats: 3-room $475*, 4-room $525*, 5-room $580*, EM/EA $735*. Condos and landed homes are quoted by size.
• Deep floor cleaning add-on: 4-room $560*. This is never included in post-renovation or spring cleaning prices.

For condos, floor area is a better guide to price than the number of bedrooms. Send the unit size and some photos for an accurate quote. First-time customers get a 10% discount. All rates are on the cleaning prices page.

How do you book apartment cleaning? A step-by-step checklist

Use this checklist to avoid delays on the day:

• 1. Pick the service. Weekly cleaning, a one-time deep clean, move-in/move-out cleaning or post-renovation cleaning.
• 2. Note the unit details. Your HDB flat type or condo size, the number of bathrooms, and whether the home is furnished or empty.
• 3. Send photos. Show the kitchen, the bathrooms and any problem areas, such as mould, stains or renovation dust.
• 4. Check the building rules. For condos, this means contractor registration, service lift booking, working hours and visitor parking.
• 5. Make sure water and power are on. Empty units need both for cleaning.
• 6. List any extras separately. Mattress, sofa, curtain, carpet and washing machine cleaning are each priced on their own.
• 7. Confirm the quote and date by WhatsApp. Sureclean takes bookings on +65 6983 9523.
• 8. Walk through the home at the end. Check the work with the crew before they leave, so anything missed can be fixed on the spot.

What does Singapore’s humidity mean for apartment cleaning?

Singapore is humid all year, and that affects what needs attention in any apartment. In bathrooms with poor ventilation, mould can grow along silicone joints and grout within weeks if they stay damp. Wardrobes against outside walls can trap moisture, so leather bags and shoes stored in them easily get mildew. Window tracks and sliding-door rails collect a mix of dust and moisture that hardens over time.

Regular sessions cover wiping surfaces, mopping, toilets and kitchen counters. An occasional deep clean deals with the slower build-up: grout lines, the inside of cabinets, exhaust grilles and the tops of tall furniture. Soft furnishings also hold moisture and dust mites, which is why people usually have mattresses, sofas and curtains cleaned once or twice a year rather than weekly.

A few habits help between visits. Leave the bathroom door open after showers, run a fan or dehumidifier in closed rooms, wipe condensation off windows, and leave a gap between stored items and the wall. New BTO flats and newly renovated units may also smell of chemicals from new furniture and fittings. Formaldehyde removal is a separate service.

How do you choose an apartment cleaning company in Singapore?

Cleaning businesses in Singapore need a licence from the National Environment Agency (NEA), so ask for the licence number. Then check these points:

• Who does the cleaning. Some companies employ their own crews. Others are booking marketplaces where independent cleaners pick up jobs, such as Helpling (an online booking marketplace for part-time cleaners in Singapore) or Urban Company (an app-based home services marketplace). Both models exist, so ask which one you are dealing with.
• Insurance. Public liability insurance matters if something gets damaged in your condo or in a neighbouring unit.
• Published prices. Clear starting prices make it easier to compare quotes.
• Reviews. Look at how many reviews there are and how recent they are, not just the star rating.
• Equipment. Ask whether the cleaners bring their own tools and supplies.

For comparison, Sureclean has been operating since 2013, is NEA-licensed (NEA240120/6509C/C3/N01) and carries S$1,000,000 in public liability insurance. It uses its own trained crews, who bring their own equipment, and has a 4.9-star Google rating from more than 1,500 reviews.

When should you call a professional apartment cleaner?

A professional is worth it when time, the size of the job or access makes doing it yourself impractical. Common reasons in Singapore apartments:

• You both work full-time and weekend cleaning is eating into family time.
• You have young children, elderly parents or pets, and the floors and bathrooms need cleaning more than once a week.
• You are moving in or out and have to hand over the unit on a fixed date.
• Renovation dust has settled into tracks, cabinets and grout.
• You do not have a live-in helper, or your helper needs support with heavier jobs.

For regular upkeep, Sureclean’s weekly home cleaning sends trained crews on a fixed weekly or fortnightly schedule, from $22/hour*. Each session covers the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and dusting, plus ironing, laundry, dishes and changing bedsheets. For empty units, book move-in / move-out cleaning. For a one-off deep clean, book spring cleaning.
