Kitchen Cleaning: The Inspection Hotspot
Landlords scrutinize these areas like a hawk:
– Stove hob: Carbonized grease removal from burner caps and igniters
– Range hood: Deep extraction of oily residue from filters and motor housing
– Oven: Degreasing of interior walls, racks, and door seals
– Cabinets: Both exterior surfaces and shelf liners in HDB kitchens
– Sink area: Descaling of tap heads and backsplash grime
– Floors: Stain removal and grout line cleaning
*Rhetorical question*: Why do 40% of HDB tenants get deductions here? Often because they overlook the undersides of countertops—prime real estate for hidden grime.

Bathroom Deep Clean Requirements
In Singapore’s humid climate, mold thrives in these zones:
– Toilet: Tank exterior, seat hinges, and base junctions
– Tiles: Mold removal from grout lines in shower areas
– Fixtures: Chrome polish for taps and mirror streak elimination
– Ventilation: Dust removal from exhaust grilles

Living/Bedroom Zones Inspectors Check
Don’t let these Singapore-specific problem areas derail your deposit:
– Window tracks: Grit removal from HDB corridor windows
– Ceiling fans: Dust trapped in motor housings near Punggol corridors
– Aircon units: Basic filter cleaning included (chemical wash: $50/unit)
