Chinese New Year 2026 falls on Tuesday 17 February – the Year of the Horse. If you are reading this, you have either left CNY spring cleaning too late (again) or you are smart enough to be searching in November. This is our 2026 roundup of the 12 best CNY spring cleaning services in Singapore – the ones that actually pick up the phone in January, that have NEA licensing, and that can survive the brutal two-week pre-CNY rush. We have ranked them by availability, pricing, online reviews, and the specific services Singapore households need most before reunion dinner. Bookmark this page, screenshot the pricing table, and book before Pongal week if you want any chance of a pre-CNY slot.
Why CNY Spring Cleaning Is The Hardest Booking Of The Year
Every cleaning company in Singapore is double-booked from CNY-minus-21 days to CNY-minus-2 days. Demand triples, crews work 12-hour shifts, and “first-available” slots vanish by mid-January. The cleaners that survive this period without ruining their reputation share three traits: they are NEA-licensed (no fly-by-night CNY pop-ups), they employ their own staff (no unreliable subcontractor crews), and they cap their bookings honestly. The 12 below all qualify – in order of overall recommendation for CNY 2026.

The Top 12 CNY Spring Cleaning Services In Singapore (2026)
1. Sureclean Pte Ltd
NEA-licensed, 4.9-star rated, 5,000+ homes cleaned. Sureclean operates four depots (Jurong, Bishan, Tampines, Bedok) and runs a dedicated CNY surge roster every January. Three things that separate Sureclean from the pack at CNY: same-day availability up until CNY-minus-7, on-site curtain steam (no dismantle), and combined packages with disinfection and aircon chemical wash for under one booking. 4-room HDB CNY spring clean: $380-$480.
2. Helpling
One of the largest marketplace platforms in Singapore. Strong UI and instant booking, but uses a freelance roster – quality varies by individual cleaner. Best for budget-conscious households who do not need post-renovation-grade depth. 4-room CNY: $300-$420.
3. Luce
Premium-positioned, app-first booking. Good for condo owners who want a tidier brand experience and are willing to pay a premium. CNY availability runs out by mid-January every year. 4-room CNY: $480-$640.
4. Casa by Cleantric
Strong local SEO presence and aggressive January promotions. Solid mid-tier option, especially for east-side estates (Tampines, Bedok, Pasir Ris). 4-room CNY: $360-$460.
5. Home Cleaning SG
Long-standing local operator with consistent reviews. Mid-tier pricing, no app, WhatsApp/phone booking. Reliable but books out fast. 4-room CNY: $340-$440.
6. Spring Cleaning Services SG
Specialises in spring/deep cleans (the name is the giveaway). Smaller crew capacity but higher per-clean attention. Books out by early January. 4-room CNY: $400-$520.
7. The Care
Quietly excellent on the residential housekeeping side. Limited CNY surge capacity but high consistency for those who get a slot. 4-room CNY: $380-$500.
8. Auntie Cleaner
Local independent network. Variable but with surprisingly strong reviews on the Tampines and Sengkang side. Cash-friendly, WhatsApp booking. 4-room CNY: $300-$420.
9. Whissh
Established mid-market brand with predictable quality and clear pricing. CNY surge handled with subcontracted overflow – quality dips slightly in peak week. 4-room CNY: $360-$480.
10. Art of Cleaning
Premium-positioned. Strong on landed homes and large condos. Books out for CNY by early January. 4-room CNY: $440-$580.
11. CleanLab
Boutique operator, smaller crew count, premium pricing. Best when their schedule allows it; not the best CNY option for last-minute bookings. 4-room CNY: $440-$580.
12. Nimbus Homes
Subscription-led, prefers regular weekly customers. CNY one-off slots are limited – usually only available to existing recurring clients. 4-room CNY (existing customers): $360-$460.

What A Proper CNY Spring Clean Includes
If your quote is suspiciously cheap, check what is actually being done. The minimum standard for “CNY spring cleaning” in Singapore should include:
- Top-to-bottom dust eviction (ceiling fans, lights, ledges, picture frames)
- Window glass both sides (low-rise condos and HDB – high-rise external glass needs gondola, separately quoted)
- Window grilles, runners and tracks scrubbed
- Aircon casing wiped, louvres cleaned (chemical wash is a separate add-on)
- Kitchen degreasing – hood, hob, splashback, cabinets inside and out
- Bathroom tile, grout, glass, chrome and toilet bowl deep clean
- Floor mop with neutral pH cleaner
- Sofa and mattress vacuum (steam is a separate add-on)
- Final QC walkthrough with photo documentation
If your quoted cleaner is cutting any of these, ask why. For the full scope and Sureclean SOP, see our spring cleaning page.
CNY 2026 Booking Calendar – When To Book For Each Slot
| Target Slot | Book By | Availability |

| 1-15 January 2026 | Late November | Filling fast |
| 15-31 January 2026 | Mid-December | Limited |
| 1-10 February 2026 | Late December | Tight |
| 11-16 February 2026 (CNY-eve week) | Mid-January or earlier | Most cleaners full |

Translation: if you want a CNY-eve week slot, you should be reading this before mid-January. The earlier you book, the better the crew you get.
Pre-CNY Add-Ons Worth Bundling
Three add-ons return more value at CNY than at any other time:
- Aircon chemical wash – $90 per FCU. Reunion dinner with 12 relatives in your living room is when you discover your aircon smells. Chemical wash before CNY removes the bacteria layer behind the louvres.
- On-site curtain steam – $25 per panel. Curtains hold a year of dust and cooking residue. We steam them on-rail (no dismantle) on the same day as your spring clean. See our curtain cleaning service page.
- Sofa and mattress steam – from $80 sofa, $60 mattress. Reunion guests on the sofa is an excellent reason. See our sofa cleaning and mattress cleaning services.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does CNY 2026 fall and when should I book my spring clean?
CNY 2026 is Tuesday 17 February (Year of the Horse). Book by mid-January at the absolute latest if you want a slot in the final two weeks before CNY. Book by late November for the freshest crew availability.
Why is CNY spring cleaning more expensive than off-season?
Most cleaners charge a 10-20% CNY surge to cover overtime crew, weekend dispatch and increased demand. Sureclean keeps CNY pricing at standard rates for bookings made before 31 December – the surge only applies inside the final two weeks.
Can I get same-day CNY spring cleaning the day before reunion dinner?
Possibly, but only as an emergency dispatch with surcharge ($80-$150). Most reputable cleaners are fully booked the week before CNY. Plan ahead instead of paying surge.
What is the difference between spring cleaning and post-renovation cleaning?
Spring cleaning targets accumulated household dirt (grease, dust, soap scum). Post-renovation cleaning targets construction residue (cement, paint, silica). Different chemicals, different equipment, different price band. See our post-renovation cleaning page if your unit was recently renovated.
Do you provide CNY spring cleaning for landed homes?
Yes – landed homes (semi-D, terrace, GCB) need 10-14 hours and a 5-6 person crew. We recommend booking landed cleans by mid-December for best CNY availability.
Are your CNY cleaners NEA-licensed?
Yes – every Sureclean cleaner is a directly-employed staff member working under our NEA cleaning establishment licence. We do not subcontract CNY surge work.
Why Sureclean Is The Smartest CNY Booking In Singapore
Sureclean is NEA-licensed, 4.9-star rated, and has handled CNY surges for more than five Singapore CNY cycles without quality dipping. Our four-depot model (Jurong, Bishan, Tampines, Bedok) means we can hold same-day capacity longer into January than any single-depot competitor. We do not subcontract, we do not surge-price before 31 December, and every job is backed by a 7-day re-clean warranty plus S$1m public liability insurance. Lock your CNY 2026 slot now while crews are still wide-open.
