How Much Does Deep Cleaning Cost in Singapore? A Straight Answer on Price
Bottom line up front: across the Singapore market, a one-time deep clean typically runs from around S$250 to S$600 for a 3- to 4-room HDB flat, S$350 to S$800 for a condo, and S$600 to S$1,500 or more for landed property. The number moves with floor area, how much buildup there is, and one detail most people miss: whether the quote already includes the equipment, chemicals, and edge work, or whether those get added on the day. These are general market ranges to set your expectation, not an OCD quote. For your exact price, get a free fixed quote in about five minutes.
TL;DR
- Deep cleaning in Singapore is priced mainly by floor area and home condition, not by a flat per-square-foot rate.
- Typical market ranges: HDB S$250–S$600, condo S$350–S$800, landed S$600–S$1,500+.
- Post-renovation and end-of-tenancy cleans cost more than an occupied-home clean for the same size.
- A fixed price quoted up front protects you from the most common Singapore complaint: extra charges on the day for window tracks, skirting, or chemicals.
- The deep cleaning Singapore price you should trust is the one quoted in writing, with inclusions and exclusions both listed.
What drives the price of a deep clean
Deep cleaning cost in Singapore is not random. Four things move the number, and once you know them you can read any quote and tell whether it is fair.
1. Floor area and home type
More square footage means more surfaces, more time, and a larger crew. An HDB flat, a condo unit, and a landed home of the same room count can still differ in area, which is why a price tied to actual square footage is more accurate than one tied to bedroom count alone.
2. Condition of the home
An occupied flat that gets a light clean every week needs less work than one that has not had a deep clean in two years. Grease on the kitchen hood, scale in the toilets, and dust in the window tracks all add labour. The heavier the buildup, the higher the quote.
3. Type of clean
A regular occupied-home deep clean, an end-of-tenancy move-out clean, and a post-renovation clean are three different jobs. Post-renovation cleaning deals with cement dust in vents, paint splatter on hinges, and silicone offcuts hiding under skirting, so it takes more time and sits at the higher end of the range. Move-out cleaning has to reach a handover standard, which also adds scope.
4. What the quote actually includes
This is where the same job ends up at two very different prices. A quote that includes equipment, chemicals, window tracks, skirting, and cabinet edges is doing more work than a quote that leaves those as paid extras. The headline number only means something when you know the scope behind it.
Deep cleaning price ranges by home size and type
The table below gives typical Singapore market ranges so you can sanity-check any quote you receive. These are general market figures across providers, framed to set expectations, and they are not OCD's prices. Your actual cost depends on the four factors above.
| Home type and size | Occupied deep clean (typical market range) | Post-reno / move-out (typical market range) |
|---|---|---|
| HDB 2- to 3-room | S$200 – S$400 | S$300 – S$550 |
| HDB 4- to 5-room | S$300 – S$600 | S$450 – S$800 |
| Condo (1 – 2 bedroom) | S$300 – S$550 | S$450 – S$750 |
| Condo (3+ bedroom) | S$450 – S$800 | S$600 – S$1,100 |
| Landed property | S$600 – S$1,500+ | S$900 – S$2,500+ |
Ranges reflect the broad Singapore market as a guide only. They are not a quote from OCD, and actual pricing varies by floor area, condition, and scope. The accurate figure for your home is the one quoted on your specific details.
Hourly rate vs fixed price: which protects you
You will see two ways to buy a deep clean in Singapore: an hourly rate, or a fixed price for the whole job. They feel similar at the start and very different at the end.
An hourly rate sounds cheap because the per-hour figure is small. The problem is that the final bill is unknown until the work is done. If the crew works slowly, takes longer, or finds more to do, you pay for it. The risk sits with you, not the cleaner.
A fixed price ties the cost to the scope of work, not to the clock. You agree the number before the crew arrives, and that number holds. The crew is paid to finish the agreed scope, so there is no reason to stretch the job out, and no surprise total at the door.
The deeper issue in the Singapore cleaning market is the "quote, then add-ons on the day" pattern. A low headline price gets you to book. Then window tracks, skirting, ceiling fans, or chemicals turn out to be extra. A fixed price with everything listed up front removes that risk: window tracks, skirting, and cabinet edges are in the quote, not added later, and the equipment and chemicals come with the crew.
What's usually included, and what isn't
A clear deep cleaning quote tells you both sides. Here is what a whole-home deep clean typically covers across the market:
- Vacuuming, mopping, and general cleaning of all rooms
- Kitchen hood, hob, and stove exterior; oven and microwave exterior
- Wall tiles in kitchen and toilets, sink and countertop
- Wiping of empty cabinets, wardrobes, doors, and switches
- Interior windows and grilles
- Ceiling lights, fans, and cobweb removal
- Toilet bowls, sinks, mirrors, and shower screens
And here is what is commonly excluded, so you can confirm anything you need before booking:
- Painted walls and ceilings
- Cement and paint stain removal, adhesive removal
- Blinds and fragile or delicate fixtures
- Interior of white goods (fridge, oven, washer)
- Washing dishes, plates, and cutlery
- Moving heavy furniture
Reading both lists before you book is the single best way to avoid a dispute later. If something you care about is on the exclusions list, ask for it as an add-on and get the price in writing first. For a full breakdown of scope by service, see OCD's cleaning services page.
End-of-tenancy and post-renovation: budget a little higher
If you are moving out, the clean has to meet a handover standard so you get your deposit back, which usually means a heavier scope than a routine deep clean. If your home has just come out of renovation, expect cement dust in places you would not think to look and a price at the upper end of the range for your home size. Both jobs are quoted on the same fixed-price basis, so you still see the number before the crew arrives. Read more on what a handover clean covers on the move-in / move-out cleaning page.
How to get an accurate price for your home
The ranges above tell you what is normal. The only figure that matters for your booking is the one quoted on your actual home. To get an accurate fixed price, share three things:
- Home type and size — HDB, condo, or landed, with square footage or room count.
- Current condition — occupied, end-of-tenancy, or post-renovation.
- Any specific areas you want covered or any add-ons you need.
With those details, OCD quotes a fixed price up front, typically within a couple of hours on weekdays, with equipment and chemicals included and no add-on charges on the day. It takes about five minutes to get your number.
