Licences and what to ask for

Companies that send workers into homes for part-time domestic services do so under the Household Services Scheme (HSS). A cleaning business also needs an NEA Cleaning Business Licence. For applications made from 1 April 2026 the fee is S$180, and the licence is valid for one year. Ask the company to confirm both before you pay a deposit.

The weather and the season

Singapore has no winter or summer. The climate is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons, so book when it suits your schedule and agree a drier day for outdoor jobs such as gardening or rubbish removal.

How prices are quoted here

Cleaners are usually priced per hour, and furniture cleaning per seat. Many online price lists show prices before GST. Singapore's GST rate is 9% as of 2026, so a rate of S$23 an hour becomes about S$25.07 with tax. Check whether the figure you are given includes GST. Give your area as well (Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio), so the seller can say whether they travel to you.

What to put in your request

Write the job in your own words: the number of rooms or the sofa size, whether you want a one-time clean or a recurring service, your preferred day and time, and your budget. Say whether you want a registered company, and ask about the HSS and the NEA licence.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the job in the chat and add a photo if it helps. The AI reads the request, asks for anything missing, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore before it shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive your request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them.
