Indicative 2026 ranges. Hourly part-time usually has a minimum-hours requirement; one-time deep cleans are priced by floor area and condition.
What affects the price
- Home size & condition. More area and more mess (e.g. post-reno) cost more.
- Type of clean. A maintenance session is cheaper than a deep/spring clean; post-renovation cleaning costs more (fine construction dust everywhere).
- Frequency. Regular weekly/fortnightly plans usually have a lower per-visit rate than one-off jobs.
- Add-ons. Fridge/oven interiors, windows, sofa/upholstery and mattress cleaning are often charged separately.
- Supplies. Confirm whether cleaning materials and equipment are included.
Which service do you need?
- Regular upkeep → a weekly or fortnightly housekeeping plan (best per-visit value).
- Moving home → a move-out / move-in clean to hand over (or start) spotless.
- After renovation → a post-renovation clean to clear fine dust and residue before move-in.
- Festive / seasonal → a one-time spring clean before CNY or guests.

How to keep costs sensible
- Go regular if you need frequent cleaning — lower per-visit rate than ad-hoc.
- Declutter before a deep clean — cleaners work faster on clear surfaces.
- Bundle add-ons (windows, fridge, oven) into one visit.
- Confirm what's included — hours, scope, supplies and any add-on fees — before booking.
Hiring well: how to vet a cleaning service
Price matters, but the cheap-and-uninsured option gets expensive the day something breaks. Before booking:
- Confirm the company is legitimate — an ACRA-registered business with a contactable office, not just a WhatsApp number. NEA licensing applies to cleaning businesses in Singapore.
- Ask about worker status. Cleaners must be legally employed (MOM work-pass compliant). Reputable firms handle this and say so plainly; agencies dodging the question are a red flag.
- Check insurance. Good companies carry public liability cover for damage and breakage — ask for the coverage amount in writing.
- Request the same cleaner for regular plans. Consistency beats re-briefing a stranger every fortnight, and firms that can't promise it churn staff heavily.
- Read recent reviews for the response to problems, not just the star count — how a company handles a complaint tells you more than ten five-star ratings.
A S$5/hour saving is not worth an uninsured stranger in your home.
What a schedule looks like in practice
- Working couple, no kids: fortnightly 4-hour session (~S$100–S$140/visit) covers floors, bathrooms, kitchen and dusting comfortably.
- Family with young children or pets: weekly 4 hours is the realistic floor — daily mess outruns fortnightly cleaning.
- Between sessions: a robot vacuum plus a 10-minute nightly kitchen wipe keeps things at "guest-ready minus five minutes".
- Quarterly: rotate one deep add-on per visit — oven interior one month, windows the next, fridge the third — instead of paying for a full deep clean every time.
- Yearly: one full spring clean before CNY, booked by early December; slots and prices both worsen as the new year approaches.
This cadence keeps a 4-room flat genuinely clean for about S$220–S$280 a month — less than most people guess when they first price weekly help.
Cleaner, maid agency, or company?
Three very different products hide under the word "cleaner":
- Cleaning company (what this guide prices): legal, insured, scheduled sessions with equipment provided — the right default for most households.
- Freelance cleaner: often cheaper per hour, but verify legality carefully — hiring someone without valid work authorisation exposes you to penalties, not just them. Locals and PRs freelancing legitimately do exist; ask directly and keep records.
- Live-in helper via maid agency: a different commitment entirely — agency fees, levy, insurance and lodging put realistic costs at S$1,000+ monthly. It only makes sense when you need daily household support (childcare, eldercare), not just cleaning.
For a working household that simply wants a clean flat, weekly professional sessions cost a quarter of a live-in arrangement — with none of the employer obligations.
