House and home cleaning in Malaysia: prices and how to book

Updated 4 November 2026

A house cleaning in Malaysia usually costs RM 80 to RM 300 for a regular session and RM 150 to RM 550 for a deep clean, depending on the size of the home and what is included. The quickest way to get current prices for your condo, apartment or landed house is to describe the job in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

Sellers quote by the session, by the hour or by the square foot. Regular cleaning is listed at about RM 0.12 to RM 0.18 per sq ft and deep cleaning at about RM 0.22 to RM 0.35 per sq ft, so a 1,000 sq ft condo and a 2,500 sq ft double-storey house are priced very differently. Give the size in sq ft, the unit sellers' pages use, and say whether you want windows, the balcony or cleaning products included.

Rules and what to ask a company

According to guides for new cleaning businesses, a cleaning company in Malaysia has to deal with SSM company registration, licensing, insurance, minimum wage and SST (sales and service tax). Before you hire a company, ask for its SSM registration number, whether its cleaners are insured against damage in your home, and whether the quoted price includes SST.

Season and the wet months

Malaysia is hot and humid all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. The wet part of the year is now starting, when damp bathrooms, mould on tiles and muddy floors from wet shoes mean more work. Book a deep clean before the heaviest rain, and plan regular cleans for the weeks after.

How cleaning is bought here

Sellers in Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam offer one-off, weekly and fortnightly visits, and most quote per session or per hour. Give your exact area in the request, since the seller must know whether they can reach you. Ask whether the price covers travel and cleaning products.

What to write in the request

Name the type of clean (regular, deep or post-renovation), the floor area in sq ft and the type of home (condo, apartment or landed house). Add the date or how often you want it, whether you want windows or the balcony done, how dirty the home is, and your budget in RM. A photo of the worst room helps the seller price the job without a visit.

Describe the job in your own words in the chat on BlaBlaPrice. The AI asks for anything missing, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia and shows the prices it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
