# Does Home Cleaning Include Ceiling & Wall Cleaning in Singapore?
Imagine this: You’ve just paid extra for a deep clean of your new 5-room condo in Sentosa Cove, but spot thick cobwebs clinging to ceiling corners weeks later. In Singapore’s 80%+ humidity, dust doesn’t just settle – it bonds with moisture and becomes a stubborn grime that ordinary cleaning misses. So when does wall and ceiling cleaning become essential?
Understanding Coverage
Most agencies offer tiered pricing like popular homegrown brands:
| Service Level | Includes Ceiling/Walls | Price Range (HDB) | Typical Use Case |
|————–|———————|——————|—————-|
| Standard | No (surface only) | $90-$150 | Monthly maintenance |
| Premium | Partial coverage | $180-$250 | Pre-BTO handover |
| Deep Clean | Full coverage | $280-$400 | Post-renovation |
The key difference? Standard cleaning might wipe accessible wall sections and dust ceilings with extendable dusters, while proper deep cleaning requires ladders, specialized nozzles, and anti-static solutions to tackle the 3-5mm grime layer common in Singapore homes.
Why Singapore Homes Need It
In our 15 years of cleaning HDBs in Bishan and condos in Tanjong Pagar, we’ve identified three main culprits:
1. Cooking Residue: Even with 900Pa kitchen hoods, oil particles travel up walls
2. Outdoor Pollution: PM2.5 particles bind with moisture on external walls
3. Construction Dust: Microscopic silica from renovations bonds permanently if not removed within 48 hours
The tell-tale signs? If you notice yellowish stains on upper walls near ceiling lights or feel a gritty texture when wiping your Queenstown flat’s windowsills, it’s time for professional attention.
What’s Involved in Proper Cleaning
Our 4-step Singapore-tested process:
1. Pre-Treatment: Eco-friendly degreaser (safe for HDB-paint) applied with microfiber cloths
2. Mechanical Removal: Telescopic poles with non-abrasive pads for high ceilings
3. Stain Specific Treatments: Mild alkaline solutions only where needed
4. Barrier Creation: Anti-static spray to reduce future dust accumulation
In high-rise buildings like those in Raffles Place, we use harness systems for exterior wall cleaning – a service increasingly requested by expat families concerned about air quality.
Real Singapore Scenarios
Case 1: A 3-generation family in Toa Payoh’s 5-room HDB had persistent musty smell they attributed to ‘new house chemicals’. Our team found thick grime buildup behind 2.8m ceiling fans – after cleaning, allergy symptoms disappeared.
Case 2: A condo owner in HarbourFront discovered water stains on her 8th-floor ceiling. Our technicians traced it to improperly cleaned drainage channels during renovation.
Pro tip: For those moving into new BTOs, schedule ceiling/wall cleaning 3 months post-renovation – this is when construction dust finally settles completely.
