How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Singapore? (2026 Price Guide)
The short answer
In 2026, a part-time cleaner in Singapore costs about S$20-S$35 per hour (usually a 3 to 4 hour minimum). A one-time general session runs S$80-S$150. A deep or spring clean is S$250-S$600, move-out cleaning S$300-S$600, and post-renovation cleaning S$400-S$800+. Your final price depends on home size, type of clean, and frequency.
Cleaning prices in Singapore aren’t a single number. They swing with what you actually need done. Below is a clear breakdown by service and by flat size, what makes the price go up or down, and how to get a quote you can trust rather than a guess.
Cleaning prices by service type
| Service | Typical 2026 price | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Part-time / ad-hoc cleaning | S$20 to 35/hr | Regular upkeep, ironing, general tidying (3 to 4 hr min) |
| Recurring (weekly/fortnightly) | S$18 to 25/hr | Ongoing maintenance at a discounted rate |
| One-time general session | S$80 to 150 | A solid clean before guests or after a busy spell |
| Deep / spring cleaning | S$250 to 600 | Top-to-bottom clean, inside cabinets, behind appliances |
| Move-in / move-out cleaning | S$300 to 600 | Handing back a rental or moving into a new home |
| Post-renovation cleaning | S$400 to 800+ | Removing fine reno dust, paint and cement residue |
Ranges are typical Singapore market estimates for 2026 and vary by provider. For an exact figure, compare quotes for your specific home.
Deep-clean prices by flat size
For one-off deep, move-out and post-reno jobs, companies usually price by the size and condition of the unit rather than by the hour:
| Home type | Deep clean (approx.) |
|---|---|
| HDB 2 to 3 room | S$250 to 350 |
| HDB 4 to 5 room | S$300 to 500 |
| Condo (2 to 3 bedroom) | S$350 to 550 |
| Landed / large unit | S$500 to 900+ |
What makes the price go up or down
- Home size & layout. More floor area and more bathrooms = more time.
- Type of clean. A general tidy is far cheaper than a deep clean that covers inside cabinets, windows and behind appliances.
- Condition. An empty move-out unit or a dusty post-reno flat takes longer than a maintained home.
- Frequency. Recurring bookings almost always lower the hourly rate.
- Add-ons: sofa, mattress or carpet cleaning and aircon servicing are usually quoted separately.
- Employed staff vs gig worker. Companies with trained, insured employees often cost a little more than an independent cleaner, but carry more accountability.
How to get an accurate quote
The single biggest reason quotes feel confusing is that people compare different scopes. To get figures you can actually line up side by side:
- State your home type and size (e.g. HDB 4-room, 2 bathrooms).
- Name the exact service. General, deep, move-out or post-reno.
- List any add-ons (windows, fridge interior, sofa, ironing).
- Say whether it’s one-time or recurring.
- Ask the same questions to 2 to 3 verified companies and compare the all-in price.
