Answers to common questions
Which company should I use for end of tenancy cleaning in Singapore, and what should the clean cover to get my deposit back?
An end of tenancy clean is checked against the landlord's inventory at handover, so it has to cover every fitting and surface, not just floors. A full scope covers kitchen cabinets inside and out, hob and hood, bathrooms and grout, windows and grilles, inside wardrobes, behind and under furniture, fans, switches and skirting.

How do I remove tape, sticker and adhesive hook residue from walls, glass and tiles before handing back a rental in Singapore?
Leftover tape marks and hook adhesive are a common reason landlords flag a unit at handover in Singapore. Sureclean, a Singapore end-of-tenancy cleaning company, suggests matching the method to the surface.
- Warm it first. Point a hairdryer on low heat at the sticker or hook for 20 to 30 seconds to soften the adhesive, then peel slowly at a low angle.
- Glass and tiles. Rub remaining residue with a little cooking oil or rubbing alcohol on a cloth, then clean off the oil with soapy water. A plastic scraper is safe on glass; avoid metal blades on tiles and glazed surfaces.
- Painted walls. Be gentle. Dab residue with a cloth and a little warm soapy water; strong solvents and scrubbing can lift paint. Test on a hidden spot first.
- Wood and laminate. Use a small amount of oil on a soft cloth, wipe off, then dry the surface so it does not stain.
- Finish clean. Wipe the area with a damp cloth so no oily patch is left behind.
If paint has already lifted, that is a touch-up job, not a cleaning job.
