What home cleaning costs in Singapore
Indicative market ranges in Singapore dollars, stated before GST at 9%. The single most useful thing to understand before you book is whether what you are buying is billed by the hour or as a flat rate, because conflating the two is how most people overpay.
Hourly, flat rate, or per item
Billed by the hour
Part-time cleaning
You buy time on site. A 3 to 4 hour minimum per session is near-universal, so a small flat still pays the minimum. If the home needs more than the booked hours, something gets left.
Flat rate for the job
Deep, move-in, move-out, post-renovation, spring
You buy a defined outcome for an agreed price, set from property size and condition. If the job overruns, that is the vendor's risk. A flat-rate service quoted to you hourly has moved that risk onto you.
Per item
Mattress and sofa cleaning
Priced per piece: sofas by seater count, mattresses by bed size. The total is known before anyone arrives. Most vendors set a minimum order value.
Price by service
| Service | Basis | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part-Time Cleaning | per hour | S$22–32 | Recurring weekly or fortnightly home cleaning, billed by the hour, with a 3 to 4 hour minimum per session. |
| Deep Cleaning | per session, by property size | S$280–850 | A whole-home reset priced per property, not per hour. Covers the accumulated build-up that routine sessions never reach. |
| Move-Out Cleaning | per session, by property size | S$290–900 | End-of-tenancy and pre-handover cleaning scoped against a landlord or HDB handover checklist, carried out in an empty unit. |
| Move-In Cleaning | per session, by property size | S$250–700 | Pre-occupancy cleaning of an empty unit before your belongings arrive, so surfaces are sanitised before first use. |
| Post-Renovation Cleaning | per session, by property size and debris level | S$350–1,200 | Multi-stage removal of cement dust, paint splatter and adhesive residue after renovation. Different equipment, different process, priced by size and debris level. |
| Spring Cleaning | per session, by property size, before seasonal surcharge | S$180–800 | The pre-Chinese New Year whole-home reset. Same scope family as a deep clean, but demand and pricing are seasonal. |
| Mattress & Sofa Cleaning | per item | S$45–350 | Hot water extraction for upholstery and mattresses, with dust mite treatment. Priced per item, not per hour or per home. |
Price by property size
Cleaning prices key off property size far more than off location, so this is usually the more useful table. Bathroom count moves the number more than floor area does.
| Property type | Floor area | Routine clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-room HDB | 388–506 sqft | 2–3 hours | S$280–400 |
| 3-room HDB | 646–797 sqft | 3–4 hours | S$320–450 |
| 4-room HDB | 893–1130 sqft | 3–4 hours | S$380–550 |
| 5-room HDB | 1184–1324 sqft | 4–5 hours | S$450–650 |
| Executive HDB | 1399–1615 sqft | 4–6 hours | S$550–750 |
| 1-2 bedroom condo | 484–969 sqft | 3–4 hours | S$320–500 |
| 3+ bedroom condo | 1076–2153 sqft | 4–6 hours | S$500–850 |
| Landed property | 2153–5382 sqft | 6–8 hours | S$800–1,600 |
A quote well below these ranges is a question, not a bargain. In Singapore's licensed cleaning sector the Progressive Wage Model sets a basic wage floor of S$2,080 a month for a resident cleaner from 1 July 2026, before employer CPF, insurance, transport and supplies. That floor is a licence condition and does not bind an operator doing only domestic work, but it still tells you what compliant labour costs. What we check before matching a vendor .
Pricing questions
Are these prices quotes?
No. They are indicative market ranges compiled from published Singapore sources, so you can judge whether a quote you receive is reasonable. Your actual price comes from the vendor after they understand your home. Anyone giving a firm price for a deep clean or post-renovation job without asking about size and condition is guessing.
Do these prices include GST?
No. Every figure on this site is stated before GST, which is currently 9% in Singapore. Whether GST is added to your invoice depends on whether the vendor is GST-registered, which turns on their annual turnover. Ask before booking, because on a S$500 deep clean it is a S$45 difference.
Why is a deep clean not just more hours of part-time cleaning?
Because the pricing basis is different, and that is the point. Part-time cleaning buys you time on site. Deep cleaning buys you a defined outcome for a fixed price, and if the job overruns that is the vendor’s problem rather than yours. A deep clean quoted to you hourly has quietly moved that risk back onto you.
Does my town affect the price?
Less than you would think. Property size is the dominant factor, followed by the condition and age of the finishes. Location matters mainly through travel time: vendors quote more readily and more cheaply for estates they already work in, which is why availability in the far north and far west can be thinner at short notice.
Is it cheaper to book a recurring cleaner than a one-off?
Per session, yes, usually by 10 to 20 percent. A recurring slot lets the vendor plan a route around it, so the travel and scheduling cost per visit falls and that saving is passed on. Note that almost all vendors enforce a 3 to 4 hour minimum per session either way.
