Agency or independent cleaner
One agency lists HK$120 an hour with transport fees included, plus HK$20 more per hour after 6pm. Independent cleaners who advertise online charge HK$150 to HK$200 an hour, depending on the condition of the flat and the scope of the work, and one offers no cooking service. Ask what the rate covers and whether there is a minimum number of hours before you book.
Rules and what to check
A general cleaning business does not need a special licence in Hong Kong, but it must hold a Business Registration Certificate, which costs HK$2,350 for one year from 1 April 2026. Ask a company to show it before you book. If the cleaning is for an elderly relative, a scheme lets people aged 60 and above apply for a four-hour cleaning service at HK$450, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Season and weather
Summer runs from June to August and winter from December to February, so air-conditioners work hardest in summer and a deep clean of the units is worth booking before the hot months. November is mild, which suits window and balcony work. A weekly or fortnightly plan is cheaper per visit than a one-time plan at one agency: HK$120 against HK$130.
How the flat is booked here
Name the district when you book: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun. Transport is part of the price for some agencies, but not for all, and extra hours after 6pm can cost more. Give the floor area in square metres, the number of rooms and bathrooms, the windows and balcony, and whether you supply the products and equipment. Say how often you want the service and which day suits you.
On BlaBlaPrice you describe the clean in a chat, and a photo of the flat can be added. The AI asks for missing details and looks through cleaning providers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Cleaners registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their offer and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them.
