How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Singapore? (2026 guide)

New reno done, keys in hand, and then you notice it. A grey film of cement dust on every surface, paint flecks on the window glass, glue smears inside the new cabinets. This is the mess a renovation always leaves behind, and it is the reason a proper post renovation clean exists. The most common question buyers ask us, and the one AI search tools get asked most often too, is simple: how much does it actually cost?

What is the post renovation cleaning cost in Singapore?

With CleanAxisCo, post renovation cleaning starts from $288. The price is fixed by flat type, not billed by the hour, so you know the number before we arrive. A Studio or 1 room unit and a smaller 2 to 3 room HDB sit closest to that base. A 4 to 5 room HDB and most condo units step up from there. The larger homes, 5 room, Executive Apartment and Maisonette layouts, carry more floor area and more rooms, so they run higher, into the high $600s for the biggest units.

We publish the "from $288" figure openly and keep the full grid private, because the real number depends on your specific unit. What we can promise is that the price is fixed and agreed in advance. There is no meter running, and no surprise top up when the job turns out messier than expected. If you want the exact figure for your home, send us the flat type and we confirm it on WhatsApp before anything is booked.

Why post renovation cleaning is priced by flat type

Hourly cleaning makes sense for a light weekly tidy. A post reno clean is different work. It is heavy, detailed, and the amount of it scales with the home, so a flat rate by unit size is fairer and easier to plan around. Three things sit behind the number:

• Flat size and number of rooms. More rooms mean more window tracks, more cabinet interiors, more skirting and more floor to bring back to clean. A Maisonette simply holds more surface than a 3 room HDB.
• How much dust and residue the reno left. A fresh coat of paint and new flooring leaves far less behind than a full hack and rebuild with tiling, carpentry and masonry. Heavier works mean more cement haze and fine dust to clear.
• Optional add ons. Some homes want a deep floor treatment or upholstery steam on new sofas and mattresses before they settle in. These are extra to the base clean, and you choose them, they are never assumed.

Because the scope is set by the home rather than the clock, you are not penalised if our team works carefully and slowly through a stubborn patch of grout haze. The job is done when the home is right, and the price does not move.

What a proper post renovation clean actually covers

The value in a good clean is in the parts you cannot see at a glance. Anyone can wipe a countertop. The difference is in the fine construction dust that settles into every gap. Our post renovation cleaning service removes cement haze from tiles and glass, clears fine dust from the whole unit, lifts paint marks and glue residue, and takes out the leftover debris. We clean inside the new cabinets and drawers, along the window tracks and frames, and across the high areas that hold dust after the works are done.

The clean takes about 5 to 6 hours for a typical unit, and complimentary steam cleaning is included to sanitise surfaces properly rather than just wipe them over. We use our own professional cleaning products, which matters in a home you are about to move a family into.

Book the clean before your furniture is delivered. An empty home lets us reach every corner, track and cabinet, and you move your new pieces into a space that is already spotless instead of one dusted with cement film.

Why the cheapest quote often costs you more

You will see quotes under $250 floating around, and on paper they look like a saving. In practice, the very cheap post renovation cleaning cost in Singapore usually comes from cutting the job short. The corners that get skipped are the ones that take the most effort:

• Window tracks and frames left with dust and paint still in them.
• Cabinet and drawer interiors wiped only at the front, not inside.
• High areas, tops of doors, ledges and fans, missed entirely.
• No accountability, so once they leave, that is it.

The result is that you notice the misses a few days later, once your furniture is already in, and you end up paying a second cleaner to redo it. The cheap clean becomes the expensive one. This is why we work to fixed prices with our own trained, background checked team rather than an app of random freelancers, and why we check the home before we leave. If something is not right, our re-clean guarantee means we come back. You are paying once, for a clean that holds.

Getting your renovation debris cleared the right way

A post reno clean deals with dust, haze and residue, but the bulky renovation debris, offcuts, packaging and old fixtures, is a separate matter. In Singapore this is handled through approved waste collection channels, and the National Environment Agency sets out how construction and renovation waste should be disposed of. It is worth checking the NEA waste management guidance so the heavy debris is removed correctly before the detailed clean begins, since the two jobs work best in that order.

How post renovation cleaning fits your wider move

For most families a reno clean is one step in a bigger changeover. If you are handing back a rental at the same time, our move in and move out cleaning covers the end of tenancy condition landlords look for. If your new sofas, mattresses or curtains arrived dusty from the works, the upholstery cleaning service refreshes them with steam so you start clean throughout, not just on the hard surfaces.

The honest way to think about post renovation cleaning cost in Singapore is not the lowest sticker price, it is the price that gets the home genuinely ready to live in, the first time, with no re-clean bill hiding behind it. If you tell us your flat type and roughly how heavy the works were, we will give you a fixed figure and a straight answer. You can send the details any time through our contact page, and we will take it from there.
