Post Tenancy Cleaning Price Singapore 2026 — Complete Cost Guide

If you’re moving out of a rental in Singapore, the post tenancy cleaning is one of the last things standing between you and your full deposit refund. This guide covers what it costs, what’s included, and what landlords and property agents actually look for during the handover inspection.

Doctor Clean’s post tenancy cleaning (also called end of tenancy cleaning, move out cleaning, or handover cleaning) covers HDB, condo, and landed properties across Singapore, starting from S$300.

Post tenancy cleaning price Singapore 2026

Price ranges across the Singapore market based on property type and size. Doctor Clean’s actual pricing starts from S$300 and goes up to S$1,850 for the largest landed properties. The main cost drivers:

• Property type and size. A 2-room HDB flat takes 3-4 hours; a landed property can take 10-14 hours with a bigger crew.
• Furnishing. Empty units are faster than fully-furnished units (we clean inside wardrobes, cabinets, drawers only when empty).
• Add-ons. Curtain steam cleaning, upholstery deep-clean, floor scrubbing with machine, and aircon surface wipe are optional add-ons priced per item.
• Urgency. Same-day or next-day bookings during peak handover season (June, December) may carry a surcharge.
• Condition. Units that have been neglected for 6+ months need deeper work on grout, kitchen grease, and bathroom descaling.

What’s included in a post tenancy clean

• All rooms: dust, wipe, vacuum, mop, and sanitise every surface.
• Kitchen: degrease stove, hood, countertops, sink; clean cabinet exteriors; empty cabinet interiors wiped.
• Bathrooms: descale shower screens, tiles, toilet, sink, mirror, floor; chemical-wash grout where feasible.
• Walls and ceilings: tiled walls wiped; painted walls dusted (full wipe is an add-on).
• Windows (interior side): glass, frames, grilles, sill tracks.
• Floors: vacuum and mop; floor scrubbing machine on request for stubborn grime.
• Appliances (exterior): fridge, oven, washer, dryer, aircon unit exterior wipe.

What’s NOT included (and why)

• Aircon chemical wash / compressor cleaning — safety and specialist equipment required; a separate service.
• Interior of oven and fridge — optional add-on priced per appliance.
• Grout re-whitening or re-grouting — this is handyman work, not cleaning.
• Disposal of large items — bulky furniture, mattresses, renovation debris. We can coordinate disposal services separately.
• Repairs — nail holes, paint touch-ups, chipped tiles.

Is post tenancy cleaning the same as end of tenancy or move-out cleaning?

Yes — in Singapore, these all refer to the same service: a deep clean performed after a tenant vacates a rental property, before handover back to the landlord or next tenant. You’ll see all these terms used interchangeably:

• Post tenancy cleaning
• End of tenancy cleaning
• Move out cleaning
• Move in move out cleaning (when combined with a move-in clean at your new place)
• Handover cleaning
• Pre-handover cleaning (from the landlord’s side)
• Deposit return cleaning

They all cover the same scope. See our tenancy cleaning service page for the full checklist.

When should you book?

Book the clean 1-3 days before your handover inspection. This gives enough buffer for:

• Floor drying time (especially after mopping with disinfectant)
• Last-minute touch-ups if the landlord flags anything
• Grout and bathroom tiles to fully dry before the inspection photos

Peak demand is end-of-month (lease expiries fall on month-end) — book at least 7 days ahead to secure your preferred slot.

Deposit return — what landlords actually check

Based on 500+ handover inspections our crews have attended, the top 5 deposit-deducting items are:

1. Grease behind the stove and under the hood — visible when the stove is pulled forward.
2. Grout staining in bathrooms — grey/yellow lines between tiles.
3. Window grille dust — landlords run a finger across; failure is instant.
4. Aircon unit intake vents — dust visible from floor level.
5. Cabinet interiors — especially under-sink and above-fridge cabinets.

A proper post tenancy clean addresses all five.

FAQ — Post tenancy cleaning Singapore

How long does a post tenancy clean take?
3-5 hours for an HDB 2-3 room, 5-7 hours for HDB 4-5 room or small condo, 7-10 hours for larger condos, 10-14 hours for landed. We bring the right crew size (2-4 pax) for your unit to finish within one working day.

Do I need to be present?
No. Many customers hand over the keys or share a door code; we return the keys to the agent or landlord at the end. We send before-and-after photos as proof of completion.

What if the landlord wants a re-clean?
Within 48 hours of the original clean, we offer a complimentary re-clean of any specific areas flagged by the landlord — as long as it falls within the original scope.

Can I get an itemised invoice for deposit claims?
Yes. Our invoice itemises the service, add-ons, and payment method. Useful if your landlord deducts part of your deposit “for cleaning” and you want to prove you already paid for a professional clean.

What if I’m moving out and moving into a new place?
Book a move in move out cleaning as two back-to-back sessions — one at the old unit, one at the new. Same booking, same crew, bundled pricing. Mention “move-in follow-up” when booking.

Can you clean on short notice?
Depending on availability. Same-day or next-day slots carry a surcharge during peak season (June/December). Try our booking wizard for live slot availability.
