How to hire a house cleaning pro in Singapore

  1. Use an NEA-licensed cleaning business — Singapore requires cleaning companies to hold a licence under the Environmental Public Health Act
  2. Never engage another household's migrant domestic worker (MDW) for part-time cleaning — it breaches MOM work-pass rules and both sides can be penalised
  3. Compare platform rates (e.g., Helpling) against direct companies; expect a 3-4 hour minimum per session
  4. Confirm exclusions — most part-time cleaners won't do exterior window panes, high ceiling fans or aircon servicing
  5. Agree supplies: many Singapore cleaners expect the household to provide products, a vacuum and a mop
  6. For weekly slots, lock in a fixed schedule early — reliable cleaners' recurring slots fill quickly

Cleaning companies in Singapore must hold an NEA cleaning business licence and pay cleaners under the Progressive Wage Model, which sets wage floors by job level. It is illegal to engage a migrant domestic worker employed by another household for part-time cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I schedule cleaning?

Weekly works for families with kids or pets; fortnightly suits most working households; monthly keeps a low-traffic home from sliding but won't feel consistently clean. Recurring slots are usually cheaper per visit than one-offs because the home never gets far from baseline.

Hourly rate or flat rate — which is better?

Hourly suits open-ended or first-time jobs where scope is unknown, but you carry the risk of a slow cleaner. Flat-rate (per visit or per home size) makes budgeting predictable and puts the efficiency risk on the provider — but confirm exactly what the flat rate includes. For recurring cleans, flat per-visit pricing with a written task list is usually the cleanest arrangement.

What's the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?

A standard clean covers surfaces you touch weekly: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms, kitchen wipe-down and bins. A deep clean adds the build-up work — inside the oven and fridge, skirting boards, under furniture, limescale removal, grout scrubbing and window sills. Deep cleans typically cost 50-100% more and take roughly twice as long. Book a deep clean first if the home hasn't been professionally cleaned in 6+ months, then maintain with standard cleans.

What is usually excluded from a standard clean?

Commonly excluded: exterior windows, inside the oven and fridge, laundry and ironing, dishes, wet-wiping walls, mould remediation, cleaning up after pests, biohazards, and anything requiring a ladder. These are add-ons or specialist jobs. Always get the inclusion list in writing so the visit matches your expectations.

Can I ask for eco-friendly or fragrance-free products?

Yes, and most providers accommodate it — either with their own green product line (sometimes a small surcharge) or by using products you supply. Flag allergies, babies, and pets when booking. Note that some jobs, like heavy limescale or mould, genuinely need stronger chemistry to work.

Is it legal to hire a freelance part-time cleaner in Singapore?

Yes, if the cleaner is a Singaporean or PR working for themselves. It is illegal if the 'freelancer' is a migrant domestic worker employed by another household — MOM enforces this, and the hiring household can be fined. Booking through an NEA-licensed company or established platform removes the ambiguity.

What do part-time cleaners cost in Singapore?

S$18-$35 per hour, with most licensed providers at S$22-$30 and platforms like Helpling from about S$25/hour. Sessions carry a 3-4 hour minimum, so a weekly clean of an HDB flat typically runs S$80-$140 per visit.
