A round-up from The Smart Local pits 17 Singapore house cleaning services against each other, and the headline numbers are surprisingly friendly: entry-level cleaning starts around $17-22/hour, with plenty of promo codes to shave off more.
Urban Company leads on flexibility. Part-time cleaners start at $17/hour, sessions run from two hours, and everything from tools to supplies is provided. Cleaners complete at least 200 hours of training, and recurring subscribers get the same cleaner automatically. Need more than a tidy-up? Premium Helpers from $22/hour will handle laundry, cooking, organising and even pet care, iron in tow. A promo code THE_SMARTLOCAL_ style deal gives 4 x $5 off weekly or fortnightly sessions (min. spend $38 each) through 31 December 2027.
DW Home Cleaning Services covers HDB flats, condos and landed homes, with general, specialised and deep cleaning — handy after a renovation, a move, or a Chinese New Year family invasion. Rates start at $22/hour, and a 50% discount code TSL50 applies to a first 3-hour booking.
Nimbus Homes is the crowd favourite, holding 4.8 stars from over 1,100 Google reviews. It handles routine cleans, mould removal and move-in/move-out jobs. First-timers get 50% off with code SMARTLOCAL50, and booking low-demand slots can drop the effective rate to about $10/hour. Their in-app Nimbus Points add up to 5% more savings at the top package.
Helpling Singapore is the app-first option: pop in your postal code, pick a weekly-to-monthly plan, pay, done. Its cleaners train 200+ hours on hotel-grade housekeeping and work through a 50-point checklist. One-off rates start at $24/hour (3-hour minimum); recurring bookings run $21-25/hour, plus a $3.90 platform fee and a $10 weekend surcharge.
Budget picks include Active Home Cleaning (from $75 per 3-hour session, no long-term commitment, same cleaner each visit), and MEIDE.SG, which skips account sign-ups entirely — just WhatsApp or email. A session is $50 flat with no weekend surcharge, and they'll also sort aircon servicing or a babysitter at $69/day.
For eco-conscious homes, Whissh cleans with its own range of green products — degreasers, floor, glass and multi-purpose cleaners — and doubles as a handyman service, with electricians and annual aircon servicing packages on offer.
The pattern across all of them: trial discounts between 30% and 50%, no lock-in contracts, and apps that handle scheduling so you never have to make a phone call. If you're staying in a serviced apartment or rental long-term in Singapore, a one-off deep clean before or after your stay costs from around $350.
Why it matters: if you're relocating to Singapore, on a long work stint, or simply holidaying in a rental and want it sparkling before you arrive, these services turn chores into a solved problem for the price of a nice dinner.
