How to choose a move-in / move-out cleaning service in Singapore

1. NEA cleaning-business licence — required to operate; ask for the number and check it.
2. Public liability insurance — who pays if something is damaged, and how much cover.
3. Employment model — an employed, supervised crew or a matched freelancer. Neither is wrong; they fail differently.
4. Written scope — task-by-task, before the visit. Disputes start where scope was never written.
5. Review depth — 4.9★ from 1,522 reviews is stronger evidence than 5.0 from 40.

Frequently asked questions

How much does move in/out cleaning cost in Singapore?

Pricing scales with property size and condition. Platform rates run from about $17-$24 per hour (Home Cleaning SG from $17/hr; Helpling from $21/hr weekly, $24/hr one-off), while fixed move-out packages on the market span roughly $180 to over $1,000 for larger homes. Sureclean quotes per property after a quick WhatsApp assessment, so you pay for what your flat actually needs.

What is the difference between move-in and move-out cleaning?

Move-in cleaning prepares an empty home before you unpack – removing renovation dust, sanitising kitchens, bathrooms and cabinets ready for your family. Move-out (end-of-tenancy) cleaning restores a vacated unit for handover so tenants can return keys with confidence. Both are deep cleans of an empty property; the difference is who inspects it afterwards – you, or your landlord.

Will move-out cleaning help me get my rental deposit back in Singapore?

A professional move-out clean addresses the items landlords and agents check at handover – kitchen grease, bathroom scale, floors, windows and built-in cabinets. Most Singapore tenancy agreements require the unit to be returned in clean condition, and deposit deductions for cleaning are common. A documented professional clean gives you evidence the condition clause was met.

How long does move in/out cleaning take for an HDB flat?

Most HDB move in/out cleans finish in half a day to a full day depending on flat size and condition. A 3-room flat is typically faster; a 5-room or executive flat with heavy kitchen buildup takes longer. Sureclean crews are employed on MOM permits with 400 hours of training, and teams are sized to complete most flats in one session.

Should I book move-in cleaning for a brand-new BTO?

Yes – new BTOs are handed over with construction dust in cabinets, window tracks and toilets, and renovation adds another layer of fine dust before you move in. A post-renovation or move-in clean (Sureclean’s post-renovation cleaning starts from $450) clears this before furniture arrives, which is far easier than cleaning around boxes later. Book after renovation ends, before delivery day.
