Updated: 17 October 2026
Written by Elvin Yeo, with more than a decade of experience in Singapore’s cleaning industry.
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Singapore?
Our current cleaning packages start from $107.64, including 9% GST, for a 2-hour session with 1 cleaner for a home below 600 sq ft.
However, post-renovation cleaning cost does not depend on floor area alone.
The amount of work can also depend on:
- How much renovation was done
- Amount of fine renovation dust
- Number of bathrooms
- Built-in carpentry
- Windows and glass areas
- Whether the home is empty or furnished
- Paint, cement, or adhesive residue
- Number of cleaners and cleaning hours required
Two homes of the same size can require very different amounts of cleaning.
This guide explains the prices, cleaning scope, preparation steps, and important things Singapore homeowners should know before booking.

Our current GST-inclusive cleaning packages include the following options.

Our current price list also contains additional manpower arrangements. If your property size does not fit clearly into one of the ranges above, contact us before booking so we can confirm the appropriate package.
This is especially important if your home sits between two size ranges or requires more cleaners.
A 20% peak-period charge applies on Sundays and public holidays.
If more cleaning time is required, additional hours may be requested at an extra fee, subject to cleaner availability.
Landed Home Post-Renovation Cleaning Prices
Landed homes often require more manpower because cleaning can be spread across several floors, staircases, bedrooms, bathrooms, and larger common areas.
Our current landed-home minimum package options include:

|---|---|---|
| 6 hours | 5 | $1,115.43 |
| 7 hours | 5 | $1,301.34 |

Post-Renovation Cleaning Cost Singapore: Quick Visual Guide

What Affects Post Renovation Cleaning Cost?
Property size is important, but it is only one part of the calculation.
1. Extent of the Renovation
A home that was only repainted may need much less cleaning than a home that underwent:
- Hacking
- New flooring
- Kitchen renovation
- Bathroom renovation
- Extensive carpentry
- Whole-home renovation
More renovation work can mean more dust and surfaces requiring attention.
2. Amount of Fine Renovation Dust
Fine dust can settle in places that may look clean from a distance.
Common areas include:
- Window tracks
- Cabinet interiors
- Shelves
- Door frames
- Skirting
- Corners
- Tops of carpentry
- Bathroom fittings
- Floor edges
Renovation dust is often found above, below, and inside surfaces, not only on the floor.
3. Built-In Carpentry
New kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and storage units create many extra surfaces.
If you want cabinet interiors cleaned, it is much easier to do this before filling them with clothes, kitchenware, or personal belongings.
4. Empty or Furnished Home
An empty or mostly empty home usually gives cleaners better access.
Furniture and moving boxes can block:
- Floors
- Corners
- Walls
- Cabinetry
- Skirting
- Windows
Where possible, complete the main post-renovation cleaning before moving most belongings into the property.
5. Windows and Glass
Some condominiums and landed homes have large glass doors, balconies, and many windows.
These can add significantly to the cleaning time.
6. Renovation Residue
Paint, cement, silicone, adhesive, and grout residue may require more attention than ordinary dust.
Do not assume every renovation mark can be safely removed using normal cleaning products.
Some surfaces require special treatment.
What Is Usually Included in Post-Renovation Cleaning?
The exact cleaning scope should always be confirmed before the appointment.
For information about our service, see our post-renovation cleaning services.
Living and Dining Areas
Typical priorities may include:
- Vacuuming and mopping floors
- Skirting
- Doors and door frames
- Accessible switches
- Accessible light fittings
- Built-in surfaces
- Shelves
- Window areas
- Window tracks
- General renovation dust on reachable surfaces
Kitchen
Possible areas include:
- Countertops
- Sink and taps
- Cabinet exteriors
- Empty cabinet interiors where agreed
- Backsplash
- Hob exterior
- Appliance exteriors
- Shelves
- Floor
- Window areas
New kitchen carpentry can contain fine dust even when it looks clean from outside.
Bathrooms
Possible cleaning areas include:
- Toilet bowl
- Basin
- Taps
- Mirrors
- Shower area
- Bathroom fittings
- Wall tiles
- Floors
- Accessible shelves
- Doors and frames
Bedrooms
Cleaning may include:
- Floors

- Shelves
- Skirting

- Doors
- Other accessible surfaces
Balcony and Service Yard
Depending on your property and agreed scope:
- Balcony floor
- Interior glass
- Sliding-door tracks
- Service-yard floor
- Accessible railings
- Window tracks
High-rise exterior glass should only be cleaned where it can be accessed safely.
What May Need to Be Quoted Separately?
Post-renovation cleaning is not automatically the same as specialist restoration work.
Tell the cleaning company in advance if you have:
- Heavy dried paint
- Hardened cement
- Adhesive residue
- Silicone residue
- Grout haze
- Marble or natural-stone issues
- Floor polishing requirements
- Carpet machine cleaning
- Upholstery cleaning
- Curtain cleaning
- High-rise exterior windows
- Repairs or renovation rectification
This is important because the wrong chemical or tool can damage a newly installed surface.
Send photos before booking if you are unsure.
Renovation Debris Is Different From Post-Renovation Cleaning
Large quantities of renovation debris should normally be removed before the cleaning appointment.
For HDB flats, the Housing & Development Board states that renovation debris must be properly disposed of. It must not be thrown down refuse chutes or washed down floor traps. HDB also explains the responsibilities of flat owners and contractors for proper debris disposal.
You can read the official HDB renovation guidelines.
This distinction matters.
Your cleaners should be able to spend the booked time cleaning the property rather than clearing large quantities of contractor waste.
When Should Post-Renovation Cleaning Be Done?
Timing can make a big difference.
A practical sequence is:
Finish renovation → complete rectification → remove major renovation debris → post-renovation cleaning → move furniture and belongings in
Do Not Clean Too Early
If contractors still need to:
- Drill
- Sand
- Cut
- Paint
- Install carpentry
- Carry out rectification
they may create new dust after the property has already been cleaned.
Where possible, schedule the main cleaning after dusty renovation work is finished.
Clean Before Unpacking
Try to clean before:
- Filling wardrobes
- Filling kitchen cabinets
- Opening moving boxes
- Placing rugs
- Moving large amounts of furniture inside
An emptier property gives the cleaning team better access.
Post-Renovation Cleaning vs Spring Cleaning vs Move-In Cleaning
These services may sound similar, but they solve different problems.
| Service | Best For | Main Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Post-renovation cleaning | Home after renovation | Renovation dust and residue |
| Spring cleaning | Lived-in home | Accumulated household dirt |
| Move-in cleaning | Home before occupancy | Preparing the property before moving in |
For normal one-time cleaning prices without renovation residue, see our spring cleaning cost Singapore guide.
A newly renovated resale property may require post-renovation cleaning first before the final move-in preparation.
Post-Renovation Cleaning for HDB Flats
HDB homes often contain a large amount of built-in storage within a compact floor area.
After renovation, check:
- Kitchen cabinets
- Wardrobes
- Window tracks
- Window grilles
- Service yard
- Bathrooms
- Doors and frames
- Skirting
- Floor edges
- Built-in shelves
If new carpentry has been installed, check the inside of cupboards and wardrobes before storing your belongings.
Post-Renovation Cleaning for Condos
Condominiums can have different cleaning requirements depending on their layout.
Tell the cleaning company if your condo has:
- Balcony
- Large sliding doors
- Full-height glass
- Several bathrooms
- Built-in wardrobes
- Open kitchen
- Extensive carpentry
- Large living and dining areas
If your condominium requires advance access or renovation arrangements with the management office, settle these before cleaning day where necessary.
Post-Renovation Cleaning for Landed Homes
Landed properties can require substantially more manpower because there may be:
- Several storeys
- Staircases
- Multiple bedrooms
- Several bathrooms
- Larger kitchen
- More windows
- Multiple living spaces
- Balconies
- Terraces
- Larger entrance areas
For these properties, the number of cleaners and available cleaning hours can be more useful than simply comparing bedroom count.
How to Prepare Before the Cleaners Arrive
A little preparation helps your cleaners use the booked time more efficiently.
1. Finish Dusty Renovation Work
Try not to schedule the final cleaning while drilling, sanding, or carpentry work is still continuing.
2. Remove Major Renovation Waste
Ask your renovation contractor to clear construction materials, packaging, and major debris.
3. Leave Cabinets Empty
If cabinet interiors need cleaning, leave them empty where possible.
4. Keep Floors Accessible
Avoid filling every room with moving boxes before cleaning.
5. Tell Us About Sensitive Surfaces
Mention any:
- Marble
- Natural stone
- Timber
- Special coatings
- Delicate fittings
- New designer surfaces
Different materials can require different care.
6. Send Photos
Photos can make quotation discussions much clearer.
Useful photos include:
- Kitchen
- Bathrooms
- Floors
- Carpentry
- Windows
- Balcony
- Visible renovation residue
- Overall room condition
How Should You Compare Post Renovation Cleaning Quotes?
Do not compare only the total price.
How Many Cleaners Are Included?
A cheaper quotation may provide less manpower.
How Many Hours Are Included?
Check the total allocated cleaning time.
Is GST Included?
Our prices shown above are GST-inclusive.
Are Cleaning Materials Included?
Confirm whether you need to provide products and equipment or arrange them separately.
Are Windows and Tracks Included?
Confirm which window areas can be cleaned safely.
Is Renovation Residue Included?
Heavy paint, cement, or adhesive removal may require a different treatment.
Can Extra Hours Be Added?
Ask what happens if more time is needed.
A lower headline price may not be better value if there is not enough manpower or cleaning time for the property.
Common Post-Renovation Cleaning Mistakes
Moving In Too Early
Furniture and boxes make floors, corners, and cabinets harder to reach.
Assuming Contractor Cleanup Is the Final Clean
Removing renovation waste is different from detailed cleaning before occupation.
Cleaning Before Rectification Is Complete
Another round of drilling or sanding can create fresh dust.
Using One Chemical on Every Surface
New stone, timber, metal, and coated surfaces can react differently to cleaning products.
Forgetting Cabinet Interiors
Fine renovation dust can settle inside new cupboards and wardrobes.
Cleaning Only the Floor
Dust can also settle on doors, shelves, tracks, carpentry, skirting, and higher surfaces.
Is Professional Post Renovation Cleaning Worth It?
Professional cleaning may be useful if:
- Several rooms were renovated
- There is extensive fine dust
- The property has a lot of new carpentry
- You have a fixed move-in date
- Several cleaners are required
- There are many windows
- The property is large
- You want to clean before unpacking
For a small renovation with little dust, a lighter cleaning arrangement may be enough.
Choose the cleaning package according to the actual condition of the property, not simply because renovation work took place.
Frequently Asked Questions About Post Renovation Cleaning Cost Singapore
How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Singapore?
Our current packages start from $107.64 including GST for a 2-hour session with 1 cleaner for a home below 600 sq ft.
The total price depends on property size, cleaning hours, manpower, and the condition of the home.
Why can two homes of the same size cost differently?
The amount of renovation work, dust, carpentry, glass, bathrooms, and residue can differ considerably.
Is post-renovation cleaning more detailed than regular cleaning?
It can be. The cleaning may need to focus on fine renovation dust, cabinet interiors, tracks, skirting, and newly installed surfaces that are not normally priorities during routine cleaning.
When should I book post renovation cleaning?
Where possible, book it after renovation and major rectification work are completed but before most furniture and belongings are moved in.
Does post renovation cleaning include renovation debris removal?
Do not assume so. Large contractor debris should normally be removed before the cleaning session.
Are paint and cement marks included?
Not necessarily. Heavy or hardened renovation residue may require separate treatment. Send photographs before booking.
Can you clean a furnished home after renovation?
Yes, depending on the condition and required scope, but furniture and boxes can reduce access to floors, cabinets, and corners.
Should cabinets be empty?
If you want their interiors cleaned, empty cabinets are much easier for cleaners to access.
How long does post-renovation cleaning take?
It depends on the property size, condition, renovation scope, number of cleaners, and areas you want prioritized.
Do you clean landed properties?
Yes. Landed homes may require larger teams because of their size, number of storeys and additional cleaning areas.
