Faridah books her fortnightly clean every other Saturday. She’s a nurse who works rotating shifts — not every Saturday is a day off. Her first question before signing up: “Do I need to be home the whole time?”

It’s one of the most common questions Singapore homeowners ask before booking a professional cleaning service. Here’s Sureclean’s actual policy.

Do You Have to Be Home During the Cleaning Session?

No. You don’t need to be home for the entire session. Many Sureclean customers — working professionals, dual-income households, and parents on school runs — leave the cleaner access and return at the end.

The most common arrangements are:

• Leave a spare key or key card with Sureclean for recurring sessions
• Provide a door access PIN for entry
• Leave the door unlocked and inform building security
• Be home at the start, leave during the session, return to sign off

Is It Safe to Leave a Cleaner Alone in Your Home?

Sureclean cleaners are background-checked and vetted before deployment. All cleaners work under Sureclean’s operational procedures and are covered under the company’s liability policy. Thousands of Singapore homeowners leave their homes with Sureclean cleaners every week without incident.

For new customers, it’s completely normal to be home for the first session to meet the cleaner and set expectations. After that, most customers switch to a key-pass or PIN arrangement.

What Is Sureclean’s Key-Pass Policy?

For recurring customers, Sureclean can hold a spare key on your behalf. The key is logged, stored securely, and used only for your scheduled sessions. Many customers on weekly and fortnightly packages use this arrangement permanently.

If you prefer not to leave a key, a door PIN or smart lock code is equally acceptable.

Do You Need to Be Home at the End to Sign Off?

A sign-off at the end is recommended so you can confirm the work meets your expectations. But it’s not mandatory — many customers give feedback via WhatsApp after returning home.

If there’s a concern after the session, Sureclean’s coordinator addresses it directly. Issues are rare given the 4.9-star rating, but resolution is quick when they arise.

Does This Apply to Post-Renovation and Move-Out Cleaning Too?

Yes. Many customers provide PIN access for post-renovation jobs and return at the end. For move-out cleaning, customers often arrange access via building management or leave the door accessible with prior notice.
