Cleaning services in Malaysia: prices and how to book

Updated 4 November 2026

A home clean in Malaysia usually costs RM80 to RM216 per session for an apartment or condo, RM96 to RM324 for a terrace house and RM180 to RM540 for a semi-detached house. Part-time cleaners quote RM30 to RM50 per hour. For a price for your own home now, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and business checks

A cleaning business in Malaysia registers with SSM. A one-person business under a personal name pays RM30 a year, and under a trade name RM60 a year. Companies doing public cleansing need a licence from the authorities, and the MECSc certificate is needed for tender cleaning and for MyHIJAU registration. Before you pay a company, ask for its SSM registration and whether it holds the licence its work needs.

Season and humidity

Malaysia is hot all year and has a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer, so there is no single heating peak to book around. Humidity makes damp and mould easy to bring back, so regular sessions keep a home fresh. Heavy rain also brings mud from shoes and wet walls, so book a deep clean for a dry spell, when the rooms can dry out after the visit.

How cleaning is bought here

Prices are quoted per session of three or four hours, per hour for each cleaner, or in bundles. A single house-cleaning session starts from about RM140, and four sessions come to about RM520, which is RM130 a session. Name the city in your request: Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam. State the floor area in square feet or square metres and say which unit you use, so that every seller quotes for the same size.

What to write in your request

Name the type of clean: routine, deep or post-renovation. Give the floor area, the premises type (condo, terrace, semi-detached or office), how dirty the place is and any extras such as windows or ironing. Add the city, the date, how often you want the clean, whether the cleaner should bring supplies, and your budget in RM. A clear list lets sellers quote prices you can compare.

Describe the job in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo if it helps. BlaBlaPrice reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery. Buyers pay nothing, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with.
