End of Tenancy Cleaning Cost in Singapore: What to Expect in 2026
End of tenancy cleaning cost in Singapore depends mainly on three things: the size of your unit, its condition, and which add-ons you need. At Handovr, a studio or 1-bedroom unit starts from $190, and larger HDB flats and condos cost more. Many providers advertise a "from" price like this, so the price you actually pay is the quote you get for your own unit.
Here is what shapes that quote in 2026, and what to ask before you book.
What affects end of tenancy cleaning cost
1. Unit size
More rooms and more floor area mean more time, more cleaners and more supplies. That is why a studio costs less than a 3-room HDB flat, and a 5-room flat or a large condo costs more again. Price is normally set per unit, not per hour.
2. Condition of the unit
Two units of the same size can need very different amounts of work. A well-kept flat needs a thorough standard clean. A unit with heavy grease in the kitchen, built-up limescale in the bathrooms, or sticky residue on tiles takes longer. Tell the cleaner honestly about the condition when you ask for a quote. It avoids surprises later.
3. Add-ons
A standard clean covers the main areas of every room, but some jobs are priced on top because they need extra time or special treatment. At Handovr, these are our starting prices:
| Add-on | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Oven deep clean | $45 |
| Cooker hood degreasing | $45 |
| Fridge deep clean | $45 |
| Washer or dryer deep clean | $45 |
| Aircon general service (per unit) | from $24 |
| Aircon chemical wash (per unit) | from $68 |
| Day curtains, cleaned on-site (per piece) | $30 |
| Waste and bulky item removal | from $150 |
| Mould removal and repainting | from $300 |
| Formaldehyde removal | from $320 |
Plumbing and moving are quoted by scope. You can see the full list on our end of tenancy cleaning page, and a room-by-room breakdown of the standard scope in what's included in an end of tenancy cleaning service.
Why a quote after photos or a visit is normal
You may wonder why a cleaner will not give you a final price on the first message. It is not a sales tactic. It is the fair way to price a job where the unit's condition changes the work involved.
- Photos let us see the real unit. Send a few photos on WhatsApp and we can quote within minutes.
- A site visit settles harder cases. Where a job needs one, we do a free site visit, so the quote covers what is actually there.
- It protects you too. A fixed price set without seeing the unit can mean you overpay for an easy clean, or that extra charges appear once the cleaners find the real condition.
Whatever you choose, ask the provider to confirm the quote in writing, and make sure it states what is excluded. At Handovr, if the unit needs work beyond the quoted scope, we tell you and confirm the cost first, never after.
How to keep your cleaning cost down
- Empty the unit before the cleaners arrive. Cabinets, wardrobes and floors can only be cleaned when they can be reached.
- Be upfront about problem areas. Mould, heavy grease and stains are easier to price correctly at the quote stage.
- Only add what you need. Check your tenancy agreement to see whether it asks for a deep-cleaned oven, dry-cleaned curtains or a professional aircon service, and book those.
- Put the work on one booking. Cleaning, aircon servicing and minor repairs on the same visit save you arranging several providers.
Does a clean guarantee my full deposit back?
No cleaning company can guarantee a landlord's decision on deductions. What a proper clean does is remove the most common reason for disputes.
