When should you hire professional cleaners in Singapore? Learn when to book home cleaning for renovations, moving, deep cleaning and property handovers.
Regular cleaning is usually enough to keep your home comfortable, but some situations require more than vacuuming, mopping and wiping surfaces. Renovation dust, moving house, accumulated grime or preparing a property for handover are situations where professional home cleaning can save considerable time and effort.
So, when is the right time to book professional cleaners in Singapore? Here are the most common scenarios where booking a professional clean makes sense.
When to Book Professional Home Cleaning
After Renovation
Renovation and hacking works can leave fine dust throughout your home. It may settle on floors, windows, cabinets, ledges and fixtures even after the renovation work has finished. Professional post-renovation cleaning helps remove this dust and prepare your home before furniture and belongings are moved in.
Before Moving Into a New Home
Before moving into an HDB flat, condominium or landed property, it is a good opportunity to have the home thoroughly cleaned while it is still empty. This is especially useful for resale homes and previously occupied rental properties. Cleaning before your furniture and boxes arrive also makes areas such as cabinets, floors, bathrooms and windows easier to access.
Before Moving Out
If you are renting, cleaning is an important part of preparing the property for handover. Landlords or property agents may check the overall cleanliness of the unit, including floors, bathrooms, kitchen areas, cabinets and other fixtures. Professional move-out cleaning can help prepare the property for inspection and reduce potential cleanliness issues during handover. Cleaning cannot guarantee the return of a rental deposit because this also depends on the tenancy agreement and condition of the property. See our move-out cleaning checklist for a room-by-room guide to getting your full deposit back.
When Your Home Needs a Deep Clean
Even when you clean regularly, dirt can gradually build up in areas that are often overlooked. Kitchen grease, bathroom residue, dusty corners, window frames and other surfaces can eventually require more attention than normal household cleaning. This is when professional deep cleaning may be more suitable.
Before a Property Viewing or Handover
A clean home can make a better first impression on potential buyers and tenants. Professional cleaning can be useful before property photography, buyer or tenant viewings, moving in a new tenant or handing a property over. Property agents and landlords can also arrange professional cleaning after an existing tenant moves out and before the next occupant moves in. Read our property handover cleaning guide for the full checklist agents use before a handover.
Before or After an Important Gathering
Hosting a housewarming, birthday or family gathering? Professional home cleaning can help prepare your home before guests arrive or deal with the cleaning afterwards. It can be particularly useful when you are hosting a larger gathering and do not want to spend hours cleaning.
