A professional post tenancy cleaning service helps restore the home to a presentable condition for inspection and handover. This service focuses on deep cleaning kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cabinets, and other high-impact areas that landlords and property agents usually check.
Moving out of a rented home involves more than packing boxes. Most tenancy agreements in Singapore require tenants to return the property in clean condition before handover. If grease, stains, or heavy dust remain, landlords may deduct cleaning costs from the security deposit.
Singapore House Cleaning provides end of tenancy cleaning for HDB flats, condominiums, apartments, and landed homes across Singapore. The service is designed for tenants preparing to move out, landlords preparing the unit for the next occupant, and property agents managing rental handovers. Our goal is simple: help make the property look clean, hygienic, and ready for the next stage of occupancy.
Post tenancy cleaning is a one-time deep cleaning service performed after tenants move out of a property. It is also commonly known as:
Unlike routine housekeeping, this cleaning session targets areas that often accumulate grease, grime, and hidden dust over time.
Common focus areas include kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, windows, skirting boards, and flooring surfaces.
Because most furniture has been removed, cleaners can reach more areas and perform a deeper clean across the property.

Most tenancy agreements in Singapore require tenants to return the property in reasonably clean condition before handing over the keys. Many tenants arrange post tenancy cleaning to prepare the home for inspection and to minimise potential cleaning deductions.
Post tenancy cleaning is usually carried out after furniture and personal belongings have been removed. An empty property allows cleaners to reach cabinets, floors, and corners more easily, resulting in a more thorough cleaning.
External surfaces of kitchen appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and microwaves are wiped during the post tenancy cleaning service. If you would like the interior surfaces cleaned as well, please ensure the appliances are empty before the cleaning session.
We provide two service options:
• Cleaning service with cleaning tools and detergent provided by our team
• Cleaning service using tools and detergent provided by the customer
You may choose the option that best suits your preference when booking the service.
