How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in Singapore?

Our current published one-time cleaning packages start from $189 including GST, with the package based mainly on your property’s floor area, number of cleaners, and cleaning hours.

But price is only one part of a smooth move-out.

Before handover, tenants should also think about:

• What areas need the most cleaning
• Whether the property will be empty or furnished
• Whether cleaning materials are required
• Whether specialist work needs to be arranged separately
• What your own tenancy agreement says about handover

This guide makes the process easier.

For information about our dedicated service, see our move-in and move-out cleaning Singapore page.

Tell the team your most important handover areas before cleaning starts.

What Can Make End of Tenancy Cleaning Take Longer?

Two properties of the same size may require very different amounts of work.

Common factors include:

• Heavy kitchen grease
• Several bathrooms
• Built-up dirt
• Many windows or glass areas
• Balcony or service yard
• Furniture remaining in the property
• Personal belongings still inside
• Difficult-to-access areas
• Large landed or multi-storey layouts

A larger checklist does not automatically mean everything can be completed within the same package hours.

Priorities matter.

Empty, Partly Furnished or Fully Furnished?

The condition of the property before cleaning can make a big difference.

Property Condition	What to Expect
Empty unit	Cleaners have easier access to floors, rooms, and surfaces
Partly furnished	Tell the team which furniture remains and what can be moved
Fully furnished	More time may be needed to work around furniture and belongings
Boxes still inside	Access to floors, cabinets and corners may be limited

Whenever possible, arrange the main move before the final handover cleaning.

This gives cleaners better access to the property.

End of Tenancy Cleaning Checklist

Use this section to decide what matters most before the keys are returned.

Kitchen

Prioritise:

• Countertops
• Sink and taps
• Stovetop
• Backsplash
• Exterior cabinet surfaces
• Kitchen floor
• Accessible shelves
• Appliance exteriors

If agreed in advance, you may also want to prioritise areas around the oven, refrigerator, or other appliances.

Heavy grease can take significantly more time than ordinary dusting.

Bathrooms

Check:

• Toilet bowl
• Sink
• Mirrors
• Shower area
• Bathroom fittings
• Wall surfaces around wet areas
• Bathroom floor

If the property has several bathrooms, decide which ones need the most attention first.

Living and Dining Areas

Check:

• Floors
• Main furniture surfaces
• Door handles
• Switches
• Accessible windows
• Window tracks
• Skirting
• Entrance area

Once furniture has been removed, also check areas that were previously hidden.

Bedrooms

Prioritise:

• Floors
• Accessible furniture surfaces
• Wardrobe exterior
• Mirrors
• Window areas
• Skirting
• Shelves where agreed and accessible

Empty bedrooms are usually faster to clean than rooms filled with boxes and furniture.

Windows, Balcony and Service Yard

Check:

• Interior glass where safely accessible
• Window tracks
• Window ledges
• Balcony floor
• Door tracks
• Service-yard floor
• Accessible railings

Do not take unnecessary risks to clean exterior windows at height.

What Should Be Confirmed Separately?

Some jobs may require different equipment, additional time, or another specialist service.

Ask before booking if you need:

• Machine carpet cleaning
• Upholstery shampoo cleaning
• Curtain cleaning
• Aircon servicing
• Pest-control treatment
• Heavy post-renovation residue removal
• Specialist floor treatment
• Repairs or repainting
• High-rise exterior window work

This prevents misunderstandings on cleaning day.

Normal cleaning and specialist restoration work are not the same thing.

Cleaning Is Not the Same as Repair Work

This distinction is important during a handover.

Cleaning may help with:

• Dust
• Dirt
• Kitchen grease
• Soap residue
• Floor dirt
• Marks that respond to normal cleaning

But cleaning does not automatically repair:

• Broken fittings
• Wall holes
• Peeling paint
• Damaged furniture
• Broken appliances
• Chipped surfaces
• Faulty air-conditioning
• Other physical damage

If you notice damage, discuss it separately with the landlord, agent or appropriate contractor.

Check Your Tenancy Agreement Before Handover

Do not rely on generic internet advice about what every landlord supposedly requires.

Your signed tenancy agreement and agreed handover terms are what you should check first.

Singapore’s Council for Estate Agencies provides rental checklists and residential tenancy agreement resources, and notes that parties can negotiate the terms of a tenancy agreement.

For official guidance, see the Council for Estate Agencies rental and tenancy resources.

Professional cleaning can help prepare a property for handover, but no cleaning company should guarantee that cleaning alone will secure the return of a rental deposit.

Deposit outcomes may also depend on your tenancy terms, property condition, damage, outstanding obligations and the landlord’s inspection.

A Simple 7-Day Move-Out Cleaning Plan

A little planning can prevent a stressful final day.

7 to 5 Days Before Handover

• Confirm your handover date
• Check your tenancy agreement
• Arrange movers
• Identify items to throw away or keep
• Book cleaning
• Tell the cleaning company your property size and priorities

3 to 2 Days Before Handover

• Remove most belongings
• Empty cabinets that need cleaning
• Clear kitchen countertops
• Remove food from the refrigerator
• Keep valuables and documents safely with you

1 Day Before Handover

Where possible, complete the main cleaning after the property is mostly empty.

Check:

Kitchen → Bathrooms → Living Areas → Bedrooms → Windows and Floors

Handover Day

Before returning the keys:

• Walk through every room
• Check floors and bathrooms
• Check the kitchen
• Look inside agreed storage areas
• Remove remaining rubbish
• Photograph the condition of the property for your own records
• Keep any relevant cleaning receipt or invoice

End of Tenancy Cleaning for HDB Flats

For HDB flats, focus first on the areas that receive the most daily use.

A practical order is:

Kitchen → Bathrooms → Living Room → Bedrooms → Service Yard → Windows

Choose the cleaning package according to the property’s actual floor area rather than relying only on the number of rooms.

End of Tenancy Cleaning for Condos

Condos may include extra areas such as:

• Balcony
• Larger windows
• Glass doors
• Additional bathrooms
• Guest rooms
• Larger living and dining spaces

If the condo is furnished, let the cleaning team know before the appointment.

End of Tenancy Cleaning for Landed Homes

Landed properties can require substantially more manpower because cleaning may be spread across:

• Several floors
• Staircases
• Multiple bathrooms
• Larger kitchens
• More bedrooms
• Several living areas
• Entrances
• Balconies or terraces

For large landed homes, confirm the floor area and scope before booking.

How Should You Compare End of Tenancy Cleaning Prices?

Do not compare only the headline price.

Ask:

How many cleaners are included?

How many cleaning hours are included?

Is GST included?

Are cleaning materials included?

Is a vacuum included?

Are weekend or public holiday charges applicable?

Can extra hours be added if required?

For a more detailed explanation of our published pricing structure, see our spring cleaning cost Singapore guide.

The cheapest quote may not be the best value if there is insufficient manpower or time for the areas you need cleaned.

How to Make Better Use of Your Cleaning Hours

1. Move Out First Where Possible

An emptier home normally gives cleaners better access.

2. Choose Your Top Three Priorities

For example:

Kitchen → Bathrooms → Floors

Tell the cleaners these priorities before they begin.

3. Remove Rubbish and Personal Belongings

Cleaning time should not be spent sorting possessions if you can complete this beforehand.

4. Prepare Materials if You Are Supplying Them

Have all products, cloths, brushes, mop, and vacuum ready.

5. Tell Us About Special Surfaces

Mention marble, natural stone, delicate furniture, or other surfaces requiring additional care.
