Cleaning services in Singapore: what it costs and how to book

Updated 4 November 2026

A home cleaning visit in Singapore currently costs about S$16–27 per hour, and a post-renovation clean of a flat up to 46 m² (500 sq ft) starts at about S$300. For a price that fits your flat or office, describe the job in a free request on BlaBlaPrice, and the AI will look through local sellers' websites and price lists for you.

Rules for cleaning businesses

Cleaning companies in Singapore need a Cleaning Business Licence from NEA. The fee is S$180 for applications submitted from 1 April 2026, payable only after approval. Pure residential home cleaning is exempt, so an individual cleaner working in private homes does not need this licence. For office and commercial jobs, ask the company to show its licence before you agree on a price.

Season and timing

Singapore is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer, so the weather does not create a peak for cleaning. What drives demand is renovation and moving. Post-renovation cleaning should be booked for the day the works finish, and a deep clean is easier once the flat is empty of furniture and the last contractor has left.

How cleaning is bought here

Home cleaners usually quote per hour, and some quote before GST, so ask whether the total you are given includes GST. Post-renovation prices depend on floor area, so give your size in square metres as well as square feet. Sofa cleaning is priced per seat, and steam cleaning as an add-on costs S$10–20. Tell the seller your town (Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio) so they can say whether they cover it.

What to put in your request

Say what kind of property it is: a public housing flat (HDB) such as a 3-room or 4-room, a condo, a landed house or an office. Give the floor area in m², the town, whether you want a one-time clean or a regular service, and your preferred date. For a post-renovation job, add the date the works finish, so sellers can reply with a price, terms and when they can come.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the job in your own words in a chat and can add a photo. Registered cleaners receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them, so nobody calls you unasked. You can also invite a cleaner you already know by sending them the request link. Start with home and house cleaning, post-renovation cleaning or office and commercial cleaning.
