Home and house cleaning in Singapore

Updated 4 November 2026

In Singapore house cleaning is usually priced per hour, at about S$18 to S$25 for a regular clean and about S$23 to S$50 for a one-off or deep clean, depending on the cleaner and the home. Many quotes are shown before the 9% GST. For current prices for your own flat or house, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules, licences and what to check

Whether a cleaner needs a licence depends on who they work for. A cleaning business that works for commercial clients needs a Cleaning Business Licence from NEA, and the fee is listed at about S$130 to S$195 a year. Pure residential, domestic home cleaning is reported to be exempt, so a private cleaner working in homes often does not need that licence. Ask the cleaner who they are working for, and check that the business has its licence if it offers commercial cleaning.

The season and the weather

Singapore is hot and humid all year, so there is no winter or summer peak for house cleaning. The wet months bring heavy rain, so a clean booked for the dry days is easier to plan around the weather. Ask about the date when you book, since it is part of what sellers quote.

How it is booked here and what the price includes

Cleaning is priced by the hour, usually with a minimum of about 3 hours, and it is worth asking whether the cleaner brings the products or expects you to supply them. Public housing flats (HDB) are a common size: a 3-room flat of about 900 sq ft is often quoted from freelancers at S$80 to S$120 a week for a regular clean. Tell the cleaner your area, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, so they can say whether they travel to you.

What to write in the request

Give the floor area in square feet or square metres, the type of home (HDB flat, condo or landed house), the number of rooms and bathrooms, and the type of clean: regular, one-off or deep. Add any extras such as windows, balcony or ironing, how dirty the home is, the date and how often you want the clean, and whether you supply the products and equipment. Your budget helps sellers quote what fits.
