Typical home cleaning prices in Singapore (2025 snapshot)

Here is a quick overview of common home cleaning costs in Singapore in 2025:

Part-time house cleaning service (weekly): S$18–S$27 per hour; most platforms require a minimum of 3–4 hours per session.[2][3]
One-off spring cleaning for 3–4 room HDB/condo: about S$300–S$500 depending on size and condition.[1][4]
Post-renovation cleaning: from around S$350–S$575+ for small to mid-sized units, higher for large condos/landed homes.[4][1]
Move-in/move-out cleaning: from S$300–S$400 for smaller units; larger homes can go above S$600.[4][1]
Specialised sofa/mattress cleaning: from about S$40–S$120+ per item depending on size and method.[1][3]

For example, some budget-friendly platforms list weekly home cleaning from S$18–S$26 per hour, while more established brands charge around S$21–$27 per hour for recurring cleaning and about S$24–$27 per hour for one-off sessions.[2][3][9] Deep cleaning bundles (spring, post-reno, move-in) often start around S$340–S$380 for smaller homes.[4][1]

Key cost drivers: Why your cleaning quote can differ so much

From living in estates like Tampines, Queenstown and Punggol, I’ve seen cleaning quotes swing by more than S$200 for the same 4-room flat. The main reasons are:

Home size & layout – Larger and more compartmentalised units (e.g. older HDB maisonettes, large ECs in Punggol or Sengkang) require more time, especially for windows, grills and bathrooms.
Condition & clutter – A minimally furnished BTO in Tengah is faster to clean than a heavily furnished resale flat in Toa Payoh with years of clutter. Deep grease, mould and renovation dust also add cost.
Cleaning type – Regular maintenance vs deep cleaning, post-reno or move-in/out. Deep cleaning includes more intensive tasks such as degreasing kitchen hobs, detailed bathroom scrubbing and window tracks.
Frequency – Weekly or fortnightly bookings are usually cheaper per hour than one-off sessions because cleaners can maintain the home more easily over time.[2][3]
Day & timing – Weekends, evenings and public holidays can incur surcharges of S$5–S$10 per session or per hour with some providers.[3]
Provider type – NEA-trained, insured companies and platforms with background checks usually cost more than informal freelancers, but offer far better safety and recourse.[1][3]

Homejourney strongly recommends prioritising licensed, insured and vetted providers over the absolute cheapest quote, especially if you are overseas, a landlord, or managing an investment unit.

Hourly house cleaning service vs domestic helper vs maid service

In Singapore, you essentially have three main options: hourly house cleaning service, part-time or full-time domestic helper, and agency-arranged maid service.

1. Hourly home cleaning Singapore (part-time cleaners)

Hourly cleaners are best for condos and HDB units where you want flexibility without the long-term commitment of a live-in helper. Typical 2025 rates:

Ad-hoc one-off cleaning: S$24–S$30 per hour with a 3–4 hour minimum.[2][3]
Weekly / fortnightly cleaning: S$18–S$27 per hour, often booked in 3–4 hour blocks (e.g. S$288–S$400 per month for weekly 4-hour sessions).[2][9]

Based on MoneySmart’s comparison, some popular providers charge around S$25–S$27 per hour for one-off cleaning, and S$21–S$26 per hour for recurring schedules.[2][9] Platforms like Helpling publicise rates from S$21 per hour for weekly/fortnightly and S$24 per hour for one-time bookings (before any weekend surcharge).[3]

Best for: Busy professionals in CBD-fringe condos (e.g. Tanjong Pagar, Redhill, Kallang), small families in BTOs, and investors who need periodic cleaning of vacant rental units.

2. Part-time or full-time domestic helper

A domestic helper (live-in maid) is a long-term commitment. While this guide focuses on cleaning cost, you should factor in:

Monthly salary (commonly S$600–S$900+ depending on nationality and experience — outside the scope of online cleaning rates).
Foreign domestic worker (FDW) levy, insurance, medical checks and agency fees (regulated by MOM).
Space requirements – common in larger HDB flats (e.g. 5-room or executive units in estates like Bishan or Bedok) and landed homes.

For many families in newer 3-room BTOs in Sengkang or Tengah, it is usually more cost-effective to combine weekly part-time cleaning with ad-hoc deep cleaning instead of hiring a full-time maid.

3. Maid service / housekeeping packages

Some agencies provide "maid service" in the form of fixed packages for regular housekeeping (e.g. 3–4 hours weekly) without the helper living with you. These packages are usually priced similarly to weekly hourly services, but may include fixed cleaner allocation or light laundry and ironing at no additional charge.

For example, one provider lists weekly home cleaning packages as low as S$60–S$70 per session for a small apartment, rising to S$70–S$150 for larger or less frequent sessions.[7]

Deep, post-renovation & move-in/out cleaning: 2025 price guide

New homeowners in estates like Punggol, Sembawang or Tengah often underestimate the cost of heavy-duty cleaning, especially after carpentry and hacking works. Deep cleaning is much more labour-intensive than a routine sweep and mop.

Spring / deep cleaning

For a small unit (<500–750 sq ft), deep cleaning packages typically start around S$300–S$380.[1][4]
For 3–4 room units (around 750–1,300 sq ft), expect S$380–S$575 depending on scope and provider.[1][4]
Bigger condos and landed properties can go beyond S$700 as some companies charge per square foot (e.g. from about S$0.40 per sq ft beyond 1,500 sq ft).[3][1]

Local providers list spring cleaning "from S$380" and post-renovation cleaning "from S$350" for smaller units, with prices stepping up by unit size.[4][1]

Post-renovation cleaning

Post-reno cleaning in new BTO projects like those in Bukit Batok West or Ang Mo Kio often costs slightly more than standard spring cleaning because of fine dust, grout haze and paint marks. Sample price bands (2025):
