Best Home Cleaning Services Singapore 2026: Nimbus, Sureclean, Helpling, Whissh, Luce & SparkCleanz Reviews

Nine cleaning services compared on what a session actually costs, not on the hourly rate each one advertises. Nimbus Homes headlines S$16/hour, but that is only its same-day 4-hour slot: a normal 3-hour weekly booking is S$81, or S$27/hour. Helpling's own rate card prices weekly cleaning at S$21/hour and adds a S$3.90 platform fee plus S$10 on Friday to Sunday.

Nine cleaning services, ranked on what one session actually costs.

> Quick view: Luce is now cheapest all-in for a weekly clean: $65.40 for 3 hours and $78.48 for 4, GST included. Helpling's $63 sticker becomes $66.90 with its platform fee. The catch: Nimbus Homes' advertised $16/hr is its same-day slot only, and its standard 3-hour session is $81.

Helpling

The biggest name in Singapore home cleaning by scale, and the lowest sticker for a short weekly session once you read the rate card instead of the homepage. PRICE: Helpling's Pricing page charges home cleaning at S$21/hour weekly or fortnightly and S$24/hour for a one-off, so a 3-hour weekly clean is S$63. Its homepage service cards, which until October still advertised an older S$23 to S$30 band and post-renovation from S$250, now match the rate table at from S$21/hour and S$300. Two fees are easy to miss: every booking carries a S$3.90 platform fee, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday appointments add S$10, though evening slots are discounted instead. Its S$63 becomes S$66.90 with the platform fee, which is now a little more than Luce's S$65.40 including GST.FLAT-RATE JOBS: Flat-rate jobs are priced by floor area. Move-in/move-out and post-renovation cleaning both run S$300 (under 500 sqft), S$350, S$400, S$450, S$550, S$730 and S$830 up to 2,500 sqft, topping out at S$1,650 at 4,501–5,000 sqft; spring cleaning starts at S$340 and follows the same shape to S$865 at 2,001–2,500 sqft. Sofa cleaning from S$50, mattress cleaning from S$65 and carpet cleaning from S$50 each carry a S$150 minimum order, so those entry prices cannot be booked alone.REVIEWS: Rated 4.7/5 from 3,000+ Google reviews, with housekeepers trained in the KonMari method and 200+ hours of hotel-grade training, and a personal home advisor promising a 15-minute WhatsApp response seven days a week.BEST FOR: a short weekly session, first-time bookers, and anyone who values easy rescheduling and replacement.

Sureclean

Singapore-based since 2013, NEA-licensed (Class 3, NEA240120/6509C/C3/N01, UEN 201316509C), with 4.9 stars from 1,550+ Google reviews and 50,000+ homes cleaned, the strongest rating-to-volume combination among the main five. PRICE: Pricing is published, but read the table rather than the hourly rate. Recurring weekly or fortnightly cleaning is from S$22/hour with a 3-hour minimum, and Sureclean's own weekly rate table starts a 3-hour HDB session at S$72, a 4-hour condo session at S$88 and a 5-hour landed session at S$110. A 4-week contract cuts 5% for HDB, 7% for condo and 10% for landed, which takes that 3-hour session to about S$68 before GST and is the only compounding discount on this list. One-off booking is S$114 for 3 hours or S$140 for 4. Recurring sessions include ironing, laundry, dishes and bedsheet changes at no surcharge, which is not standard across the market.POST-RENOVATION: Sureclean rewrote its rate cards in October 2026 and they are now much clearer. Post-renovation is priced by HDB flat type: S$350 for a 2-room, S$475 for a 3-room, S$525 for a 4-room and S$580 for a 4A or 5-room, up to S$840 for a jumbo flat, with condos and landed homes quoted by size (an older table lower on the same page still prices a 3 to 4 bedroom condo at S$460, with air-duct cleaning at S$45, window polishing S$30, carpet steam S$55 and tile grout S$40 as add-ons). Move-in, move-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning starts from S$370, with most flats S$475 to S$525. Spring cleaning's rate card starts at S$600, most jobs S$700 to S$800, though older copy on the same page still quotes S$370 and S$250. The homepage hero still reads "from $35/hour" directly above a card reading from S$22, and the weekly page still opens with S$88 for 4 hours above its 3-hour S$72 table, so confirm which applies.FIRST BOOKING: Every rate card now lists a 10% discount for first-time customers, with no code or end date shown, so ask for it to be applied in the written quote.FINE PRINT: The October rate cards settle the GST question: every published price is before GST, so the 3-hour S$72 session is S$78.48 and the 4-hour S$88 session S$95.92 once 9% is added. Supplies and equipment are included, cleaners hold valid MOM work permits with 400 hours of training, work is covered by S$1m public liability insurance, and same-day slots are available if you book before 11.30am. Note one cost the hourly rate hides: same-day notice to change a booking attracts a S$54 fee including GST.BEST FOR: post-renovation and one-off deep cleans, and recurring plans where the 4-week discount and the included ironing and laundry add up.

Nimbus Homes

The pick for consistency and flexible cancellation rather than for price, which is the correction we have had to make this month. Nimbus shows 4.8 stars on its own service pages and states 12,000+ households served, 120,000+ completed bookings and 400,000+ hours of service since launching in 2019, and The Straits Times ranked it among Singapore's fastest-growing companies in 2024. PRICE: Its advertised "from S$16/hour" is real but narrow: it is the same-day or next-day 4-hour slot at S$64, alongside S$40 for 2 hours and S$54 for 3. A schedulable standard session is S$56 for 2 hours, S$81 for 3, S$108 for 4 and S$135 for 5, a flat S$27/hour, which is the dearest recurring rate on this list. Deep cleaning is priced by flat size, from S$330 for 3 hours under 500 sqft to S$470 at 751–1,000 sqft, S$625 at 1,301–1,600 sqft and S$750 at 1,601–2,000 sqft, with a S$50 site inspection required above 2,000 sqft (its homepage card still says S$300 for 3 hours, but S$330 is the bookable service-page price); if the home is empty of furniture, Nimbus tells you to book move-in/move-out cleaning instead.CANCELLATION: Where it genuinely leads is on changes: free cancellation and rescheduling up to 24 hours before a session, then a S$10 penalty inside 24 hours and S$20 for a no-show on a housekeeping slot (S$50 on a deep clean), which compares well with Sureclean's S$54 same-day fee. Supplies are shared: Nimbus brings professional-grade chemicals and a basic kit, but asks you to provide the vacuum cleaner and mop. Homes in Sentosa pay S$12 extra, and card payments run through Stripe with processing fees unless you pre-buy Nimbus Points by PayNow. As at 25 October 2026 its site lists code NEW10 for 10% off a first booking, plus a Give $100, Get $100 referral scheme, though a notice on the site says sign-up and booking are hitting technical problems its engineers are working on.BEST FOR: households that value a settled team and forgiving cancellation terms more than the lowest rate.

Whissh

Whissh logo

Whissh

The eco-conscious pick, and no longer the one you cannot price. Whissh focuses on green cleaning with EU Ecolabel certified solutions, which matters if you have young children, pets, or anyone sensitive to cleaning fumes. It also carries the largest insurance cover here at S$2,000,000 for property damage or crew injury, double Sureclean's S$1m, and runs background and health checks on all crew. Google rating around 4.2/5, the lowest of the five. PRICE: Its Rates page, which loaded empty in August, now publishes weekly cleaning from S$80 per 4-hour session, deep cleaning from S$378 for a two-bedder of about 1,000 sqft and S$510 for a four-bedder of about 1,600 sqft, and its aircon page prices normal servicing of wall-mounted units at S$45 for 1 fan coil unit, S$60 for 2 and S$75 for 3. That S$80 was the cheapest published 4-hour weekly session here until Luce's recent cut to S$78.48 including GST; it still undercuts Sureclean's S$88 before GST and Nimbus Homes' S$108. The site's own caveat is that rates vary with the size of your home, the number of hours and the number of crew required, so treat them as a floor. It quotes no 3-hour rate, so a short weekly slot still needs an enquiry.FINE PRINT: The bigger catch on that S$80: Whissh's weekly-cleaning FAQ says the client must provide all cleaning equipment and solutions (it sells an eco product bundle at S$150), so the EU Ecolabel products come as standard only on deep cleaning, where the crew brings its own solutions, ladders and vacuums. Customer reviews note the team works hard through long sessions ("5 hours of work, moved fast and wiped everything unreachable for me").BEST FOR: deep cleans where eco-friendly products and insurance cover matter, and longer weekly sessions if you already own the equipment.

Auntie Cleaner

Auntie Cleaner logo

Auntie Cleaner

Over a decade in the business, NEA-certified and bizSAFE3-certified, trading as Auntie Cleaner Pte Ltd (UEN 201524788N) within the @bsolute group, with a clear specialisation in one-off jobs. PRICE: Its one-time cleaning table, re-published on 20 October 2026 as its 2026 spring cleaning prices, includes GST: S$198 buys 4 hours with one cleaner for homes under 600 sqft, and the table runs S$228 (601–890 sqft, 5 hours, 1 cleaner), S$348 (891–1,199 sqft, 4 hours, 2 cleaners), S$408 (1,200–1,399 sqft, 5 hours, 2 cleaners), S$478 (1,400–1,799 sqft, 4 hours, 3 cleaners), S$578 (1,800–2,199 sqft, 5 hours, 3 cleaners) and S$668 (2,200–2,799 sqft, 6 hours, 3 cleaners). That S$198 undercuts Luce's S$272.50, EasyClean SG's S$320 and Helpling's S$340 spring cleaning for a comparable small flat by a wide margin, though the table warns that materials and equipment may cost extra and weekend or public-holiday surcharges may apply. The table no longer covers end-of-tenancy or move-out cleaning, which are now quote-only.MONTHLY PACKAGES: Weekly cleaning packages start at S$478 a month (once weekly on weekdays only, 4 hours, suited to homes under 1,000 sqft); twice weekly is S$958 and thrice weekly S$1,426, each with the same helper assigned weekly subject to availability. One catch on those monthly packages that the reviews do not mention: Auntie Cleaner states that customers normally provide their own cleaning tools and materials, and Sunday or public-holiday sessions may cost extra, so budget for a vacuum, mop and chemicals. Its eco-friendly, biodegradable products are supplied on request rather than by default.PROMO CODE: As at 25 October 2026 its site lists code AUNTIE10OFF for S$10 off, marked limited time only with no end date, so quote it when you WhatsApp +65 8609 3601.BEST FOR: spring cleaning a small flat at a published, GST-inclusive price, with tenancy handovers available on quote.

What one standard weekly session actually costs, re-read from each provider's own rate card on 25 October 2026. Hourly headlines are excluded on purpose, because three of these brands quote their lowest hourly rate for a slot most people cannot book. "From" prices exclude add-ons and are subject to change. Sureclean's October 2026 rate cards now state that every price is before GST, so its row shows both figures; Luce and Auntie Cleaner quote GST-inclusive. Get a written quote before booking.

How we checked these prices

Every rating and price below was re-read from each provider's own website on 25 October 2026, not from other roundups. That matters more than usual in this category, because most of the numbers that circulate are either arithmetic or promotional rates.

The single biggest correction this month is the hourly headline. Nimbus Homes advertises housekeeping "from $16/hour", and until this check we reported that as its rate. Its own booking page shows the ladder: same-day or next-day sessions are $40 for 2 hours, $54 for 3 and $64 for 4, and it is only that last one that divides down to $16. A schedulable standard session is $56 for 2 hours, $81 for 3, $108 for 4 and $135 for 5, a flat $27 an hour. Luce runs the same structure, and says so: its "from $16/hr" is the online-only same-day or next-day rate against $20 (before GST) for a normal 3-hour weekly slot. Read any cleaning company's hourly floor as a slot, not a rate.

The second is the fee layer. Helpling's Pricing page states that all bookings are subject to a $3.90 platform fee, and that Friday, Saturday and Sunday appointments carry a $10 surcharge, with evening slots discounted instead. Those are exactly the two numbers Luce advertises against on its own comparison panel, which is now confirmed to be describing Helpling. Sureclean discounts a 4-week contract by 5% for HDB flats, 7% for condos and 10% for landed homes, and includes ironing, laundry, dishes and bedsheet changes in a recurring session at no surcharge. Nimbus Homes charges $12 extra for homes in Sentosa and takes card payment through Stripe, with card processing fees unless you pre-buy Nimbus Points by PayNow.

Two caveats. Sureclean rewrote its rate cards in October 2026 and they now say every published price is before GST, so add 9% before comparing it with Luce or Auntie Cleaner, which both quote GST-inclusive. And some pages still disagree with themselves. Sureclean's homepage hero reads "from $35/hour" directly above a card reading "From $22*/Hour", and its spring cleaning page carries a $600 rate card (most jobs $700 to $800) alongside older copy quoting $370 and an FAQ quoting $250. Helpling's homepage cards, which until this month said $23 to $30 an hour and post-renovation from $250, now match its Pricing page at $21 and $300. Ask for the figure in writing.

Ratings and reviews compared

All five main picks sit between roughly 4.2 and 4.9 stars, so the rating alone won't separate them. The size of the review base behind it, and what reviewers consistently bring up, tell you more.

  • Sureclean, 4.9★ from 1,550+ Google reviews, stated on its own pages alongside 50,000+ homes cleaned since 2013 (its homepage Google widget read 1,552 on 25 October). The highest rating here, and unusually high to hold at that volume. Feedback concentrates on thoroughness for deep and post-renovation jobs.
  • Nimbus Homes, 4.8★, shown on its own service pages, with 12,000+ households served, 120,000+ completed bookings and 400,000+ hours of service since launching in 2019. Reviewers mention the team's friendliness and consistency about as often as the cleaning standard itself, which matters most on recurring weekly slots.
  • Helpling, 4.7★ from 3,000+ reviews, the largest review base among the main five. Read it with the model in mind: Helpling matches you to vetted cleaners at scale rather than sending one in-house team, so individual experiences vary more than at a smaller operator. Its own scale claims have not been reconciled either, with badges reading "more than 1 M cleans" and "over 100,000 happy customers" on the same page as "since 2015, we've delivered over 1.7 million cleans across 350,000+ homes" and a hero line citing 150,000 homeowners.
  • Whissh, around 4.2★, the lowest of the five. The eco-product focus, not the rating, is the reason to pick it, though it now publishes prices too.
  • Auntie Cleaner doesn't publish a headline Google rating, leaning instead on NEA and bizSAFE3 certification and more than a decade of operation. Reviews cite punctuality and cleaners turning up fully equipped, which describes its one-off jobs rather than its monthly packages.

One caveat when comparing any of these: a 4.9 from 1,500 reviews is a far stronger signal than a 4.9 from 129, and cleaning reviews skew positive because dissatisfied customers tend to quietly cancel rather than post. Weight recent reviews and the one- and two-star ones more heavily than the headline average.

Match the provider to the job, not to the list

The cheapest name changes completely depending on what you are booking, which is why a single ranking is misleading.

  • A 3-hour weekly clean. Luce at $65.40 including GST, then Helpling at $63 ($21/hour) plus the $3.90 platform fee ($66.90), Sureclean from $72 before GST ($78.48 with it) and Nimbus Homes at $81.
  • A 4-hour weekly clean. Luce at $78.48 including GST, then Whissh at $80 (you supply the equipment), Helpling's $84 plus fees, Sureclean's $88 before GST ($95.92 with it) and Nimbus Homes' $108.
  • Post-renovation. Luce is now the cheapest published entry at $272.50 including GST for under 500 sqft ($250 + GST, two cleaners for 4 hours), then Helpling at $300, EasyClean SG at $320, and Home Clean Home and Sureclean at $350 (Sureclean's is before GST and for a 2-room HDB, rising to $475 for a 3-room and $525 for a 4-room).
  • Deep cleaning. Luce uses one table for deep, post-renovation, spring and move-in/move-out cleaning: $272.50 under 500 sqft, $392.40 at 751–1,000 sqft and $681.25 at 1,601–2,000 sqft, all including GST. Nimbus Homes prices by flat size, $330 for 3 hours under 500 sqft rising to $750 for 1,601–2,000 sqft, and asks for a $50 site inspection above 2,000 sqft. Whissh quotes $378 for a 1,000 sqft two-bedder and $510 for a 1,600 sqft four-bedder.
  • Spring cleaning. Auntie Cleaner's $198, GST included, covers 4 hours with one cleaner for under 600 sqft. Luce's starts at $272.50 including GST under 500 sqft, EasyClean SG's at $320 and Helpling's at $340, so on a small flat the gap is most of a session's cost.
  • Move-in and move-out. Luce from $272.50 including GST, Helpling from $300, Home Clean Home from $340 and Sureclean from $370 before GST (most flats $475 to $525). Auntie Cleaner now quotes move-out and end-of-tenancy jobs individually rather than publishing a price.

Luce, SparkCleanz, EasyClean SG and Home Clean Home reviews

These didn't make the main five, but they come up often enough to deserve a straight answer. All four were confirmed operating on 25 October 2026.

  • Luce is the largest review base we found in Singapore home cleaning: its own site cites 9,600+ Google reviews and 21,000 homes serviced a month. Luce cut its weekly rates after our 28 September check: a daytime weekly slot is now $21.80/hr ($20 + GST) for 3 to 3.5 hours, $19.62/hr ($18 + GST) for 4 hours and $23.98/hr ($22 + GST) for a new 2.5-hour slot, and every evening slot after 6pm is $19.62/hr. Fortnightly bookings cost $2/hr more, so a 3-hour fortnightly clean is still $71.94. Ad hoc one-off cleaning is $25.07/hr ($23 + GST), and a same-day or next-day promo runs at $17.44/hr ($16 + GST) for online bookings only. Its differentiator is the employment model, since cleaners are full-time Luce staff rather than freelancers, plus no platform fee and no weekend surcharge. Its headline "from $16/hr" is the same-day promo rate, not what a normal weekly slot costs. Luce now also publishes a size-banded table for deep, post-renovation, spring and move-in/move-out cleaning, from $272.50 ($250 + GST) for two cleaners over 4 hours under 500 sqft. One inconsistency to note: its homepage shows both "6,900+ Google Reviews" and "9,600+ Google Reviews".
  • SparkCleanz is NEA-licensed, founded in 2016 and based at 55 Serangoon North Avenue 4, and its own site data reports 4.9 stars from 129 reviews. It publishes no rates, so every job is quote-only with a 3-hour minimum session. Two terms are worth knowing before you ask: for housekeeping and spring cleaning the customer is expected to provide all cleaning materials and equipment, and its post-renovation package explicitly excludes cement and paint stain removal and adhesive removal. All work is done only at the height of the cleaner.
  • EasyClean SG, founded in 2019, has started publishing prices, which is new since our last check. Its residential deck prices spring and post-renovation cleaning at $320 for 500 sqft and below, plus $35 for every subsequent 100 sqft block rounded up, so a 1,046 sqft HDB spring clean works out at $530 on its own worked example. End-of-tenancy cleaning uses the same table, with curtain steaming added at $20 a piece against a usual $40. Note two things: the deck's file is dated August 2024, so confirm the figures before booking, and its booking terms are the strictest here, with a minimum $50 deposit, 72 hours' notice to reschedule on the website FAQ (48 in the deck) and forfeiture if you are more than 15 minutes late.
  • Home Clean Home publishes a short rate card: general cleaning from $280, move-in/move-out from $340, post-renovation from $350 and spring cleaning from $380, with a quote form that asks for property type, floor area and bedroom count.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does home cleaning cost in Singapore?

Price the session, not the hour. As at 25 October 2026 a standard 3-hour weekly clean costs S$63 at Helpling (S$21/hour, plus a S$3.90 platform fee and S$10 more on Friday to Sunday), S$65.40 at Luce (S$21.80/hour including GST, no platform fee), from S$72 before GST (S$78.48 with it) at Sureclean and S$81 at Nimbus Homes. For 4 hours, Luce's weekly rate of S$78.48 including GST is now the cheapest, just under Whissh's S$80, Sureclean's S$88 before GST and Nimbus Homes' S$108. Auntie Cleaner sells recurring help as a package instead, from S$478 a month for one 4-hour session a week. The advertised hourly floors are mostly promotional: Nimbus Homes' S$16/hour is its same-day 4-hour slot at S$64, and Luce's S$16 (S$17.44 with GST) is its online-only same-day or next-day rate. For bigger jobs, post-renovation cleaning starts at S$272.50 including GST for under 500 sqft at Luce, S$300 at Helpling, S$320 at EasyClean SG, S$350 before GST for a 2-room HDB on Sureclean's own table and S$350 at Home Clean Home. Deep cleaning is the same S$272.50 under 500 sqft at Luce (two cleaners for 4 hours), S$330 for 3 hours at Nimbus Homes and from S$378 for a 1,000 sqft two-bedder at Whissh. Spring cleaning is S$198 for under 600 sqft at Auntie Cleaner or S$340 under 500 sqft at Helpling. Always confirm supplies, GST and platform fees, and get a written quote.

Which cleaning services provide the supplies, and which expect you to?

This is the biggest unadvertised difference on the list, and it splits several ways. Sureclean includes supplies and equipment, and its weekly rate table specifies eco-friendly products plus a senior supervisor's quality check. Whissh also splits it by job: its deep cleaning packages come with EU Ecolabel certified solutions plus ladders and vacuums, but its weekly cleaning FAQ says the client must provide all cleaning equipment and solutions, and sells an optional eco product bundle at S$150 (about three months' supply for a 1,200 sqft home). Nimbus Homes is in between and says so plainly on its housekeeping page: it provides professional-grade chemicals and a basic kit of sponges, cloths, spray bottles, degreaser and glass cleaner, but asks you to supply the vacuum cleaner and mop. Auntie Cleaner's monthly part-time maid packages state that customers normally provide their own cleaning tools and materials, so the reviews praising cleaners who arrive fully equipped describe its one-off jobs rather than the recurring plans. SparkCleanz splits it by job type: for housekeeping and spring cleaning its own pages say the customer is expected to provide all cleaning materials and equipment, while for move-in, move-out, end-of-tenancy and post-renovation work it provides everything. Helpling's housekeepers arrive with standard supplies. Ask at booking, because a vacuum and a set of chemicals is a real cost the hourly rate hides.

What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel a cleaning session?

Providers differ far more here than on price. Nimbus Homes is the most forgiving: free up to 24 hours before the session, S$10 if you change it inside 24 hours, and S$20 for a no-show on a housekeeping session (S$50 on a deep clean), which includes the crew arriving and being unable to get in. Sureclean's FAQ states that same-day notice attracts a last-minute fee of S$54 including GST, most of a 3-hour session. Helpling's platform model is built around easy rescheduling and replacement cleaners, which is part of what the platform fee buys. EasyClean SG is the strictest: it takes a minimum S$50 deposit within 24 hours of booking, asks for at least 72 hours' notice to reschedule on its website FAQ (its own service deck says 48), forfeits the deposit for a last-minute cancellation or a no-show, and reserves the right to reschedule and keep the deposit if you are more than 15 minutes late. Auntie Cleaner, SparkCleanz and Whissh handle changes through their booking teams rather than a published policy, so ask before signing up. If your week moves around, these terms will cost you more over a year than a S$1 or S$2 gap in the hourly rate.

Which home cleaning service is actually the cheapest?

Since Luce cut its weekly rates after our 28 September check, Luce is the cheapest all-in weekly clean at both common lengths. For 3 hours, Helpling's sticker is lower at S$63, but its S$3.90 platform fee makes it S$66.90, against Luce's S$65.40 including GST with no platform fee, then Sureclean from S$72 before GST (S$78.48 with it) and Nimbus Homes at S$81. For 4 hours, Luce is S$78.48 including GST, ahead of Whissh at S$80 (bring your own equipment), Helpling at S$84 plus fees, Sureclean at S$88 before GST and Nimbus Homes at S$108. Book a Friday, Saturday or Sunday and Helpling adds S$10 more. Luce's cut applies to weekly bookings only: fortnightly stays at S$71.94 for 3 hours. Sureclean's 4-week contract discount, 5% for HDB flats, 7% for condos and 10% for landed homes, is the only standing discount here that compounds over a year: it takes the 3-hour HDB session to about S$68 before GST (S$74.56 with it). Nimbus Homes and Luce both advertise S$16/hour, and in both cases that is a same-day or next-day slot rather than a schedulable weekly one. For one-off jobs the answer changes again: Auntie Cleaner's S$198 including GST covers a spring clean under 600 sqft, well under Luce's S$272.50 including GST under 500 sqft, EasyClean SG's S$320 and Helpling's S$340 spring clean.

Is SparkCleanz any good, and what does it cost?

SparkCleanz is a legitimate NEA-licensed operator, founded in 2016 and based at 55 Serangoon North Avenue 4, and the structured data on its own site publishes a 4.9 rating from 129 reviews, a much smaller base than Sureclean's or Luce's. It publishes no prices at all, so every job is quote-only with a minimum session of 3 hours. Two things in its own terms matter more than the quote. First, for housekeeping and spring cleaning the customer is expected to provide all cleaning materials and equipment, while for move-in, move-out, end-of-tenancy and post-renovation work SparkCleanz supplies them. Second, and more important if you are booking a post-renovation clean, its exclusion list for that exact service says no cement and paint stains removal and no adhesive removal, which is the residue post-renovation cleaning normally exists to lift. All its cleaning is also carried out only at the height of the cleaner. Its site is dated in places, with a footer copyright still reading 2022. It is a reasonable second quote rather than a first choice on published value.

Should I tip cleaners in Singapore?

Tipping isn't expected in Singapore but is appreciated for above-and-beyond work. Common practice: S$5–10 per cleaner for a single 2–3 hour visit, S$10–20 for a half-day deep clean, S$20+ for full-day post-renovation jobs. If the same cleaner returns weekly, an annual Chinese New Year angbao (S$30–50) is a nice gesture. Cash to the team lead at the end of service.

Are part-time cleaners legal in Singapore?

Yes, but only if they're hired through a licensed cleaning company OR hold a Work Permit / S Pass / EP that allows part-time domestic work. Hiring an undocumented worker (for example an FDW from another household "moonlighting" on her off day) is illegal and risks fines for both employer and worker. Reputable services all employ workers with proper permits, and the licence number is the thing to ask for: Sureclean publishes its NEA Class 3 licence as NEA240120/6509C/C3/N01 under UEN 201316509C and states that every cleaner is legally employed on a valid MOM work permit with 400 hours of training. Auntie Cleaner trades as Auntie Cleaner Pte Ltd, UEN 201524788N, part of the @bsolute group. SparkCleanz, Helpling, Nimbus, Whissh, Luce and Home Clean Home operate on the same licensed basis.

What's the difference between a regular clean, a deep clean and post-renovation cleaning?

A regular clean is surface maintenance (sweeping, mopping, wiping, bathrooms, kitchen, laundry), typically 2–4 hours and priced by the session at about S$63 to S$81 for three hours. On Sureclean's recurring plans ironing, laundry, dishes and bedsheet changes are included at no surcharge, which is not standard across the market and is worth asking every provider about. A deep clean adds what routine cleaning skips: inside cabinets and appliances, high dusting, toilet descaling, grout and cleaning above, under and behind movable furniture. It is priced per job by floor area, with Nimbus Homes charging S$330 for 3 hours in a flat under 500 sqft, rising to S$470 at 751–1,000 sqft and S$750 at 1,601–2,000 sqft, and Whissh from S$378 for a 1,000 sqft two-bedder. Nimbus Homes adds a useful rule: if the place is empty of furniture and personal items, book move-in/move-out cleaning instead, not a deep clean. Post-renovation cleaning is a different job again, removing cement dust, paint splatter and adhesive residue that ordinary cleaning spreads rather than lifts. Luce prices it from S$272.50 including GST for under 500 sqft, Helpling from S$300, EasyClean SG from S$320, Home Clean Home from S$350, and Sureclean from S$350 before GST for a 2-room HDB, rising to S$475 for a 3-room and S$525 for a 4-room, with condos and landed homes quoted by size. Check the exclusion list before booking: SparkCleanz and EasyClean SG both exclude cement, paint and adhesive removal from their post-renovation packages. Book post-renovation cleaning after the contractor has fully finished, not between trades.

Which home cleaning service has the best reviews in Singapore?

By rating, Sureclean leads at 4.9 stars from 1,550+ Google reviews, the strongest combination of score and volume among the main five, and it has cleaned 50,000+ homes since 2013. Nimbus Homes shows 4.8 on its own service pages and states 12,000+ households served, 120,000+ completed bookings and 400,000+ hours of service. Helpling sits at 4.7 from the largest base here, 3,000+ reviews. Whissh is around 4.2, and Auntie Cleaner doesn't publish a headline Google rating, relying on NEA and bizSAFE3 certification instead. The honest answer is that between 4.7 and 4.9 the gap is mostly noise. The more useful comparison is review volume, since a 4.9 from 1,500 reviews is a much stronger signal than a 4.9 from 129, which is what SparkCleanz's own site data reports. On volume nobody here is close to Luce, whose site cites 9,600+ Google reviews. Cleaning ratings skew high across the board because unhappy customers usually cancel quietly rather than post, so weight the recent one- and two-star reviews more heavily than the average.

Does Helpling have Classic and Signature plans?

Not on the Singapore site. As at 25 October 2026, helpling.com.sg sells home cleaning by the hour and its Pricing page is the number to trust: weekly or fortnightly at S$21/hour and one-off at S$24/hour, with every booking subject to a S$3.90 platform fee and a S$10 surcharge on Friday, Saturday and Sunday appointments except evening slots, which are discounted. Its homepage service cards, which until this month showed an older S$23 to S$30 band, now match at from S$21/hour. Other jobs are sold as flat rates by floor area rather than named tiers: move-in/move-out and post-renovation cleaning both start at S$300 for under 500 sqft and run to S$1,650 at 4,501–5,000 sqft, spring cleaning starts at S$340 and runs to S$1,665. Sofa cleaning from S$50, mattress cleaning from S$65 and carpet cleaning from S$50 all carry a S$150 minimum order, so those "from" prices cannot be booked on their own. If you've seen "Classic" or "Signature" plan names, they're likely from another provider or another Helpling market.

What are the best alternatives to Helpling in Singapore?

It depends on why you're switching. If the issue is cleaner-to-cleaner inconsistency, the usual complaint about any large matching platform, go to an operator that sends a settled team. Nimbus Homes (4.8 stars, free changes up to 24 hours out) is the closest like-for-like for recurring weekly cleans, though at S$27/hour on its standard ladder it is dearer than Helpling, not cheaper. Luce takes the same approach from the other direction, employing its cleaners as staff rather than freelancers, and now charges S$21.80/hour including GST for a 3-hour daytime weekly slot (S$65.40 a session, under Helpling's S$66.90 once its platform fee is added), dropping to S$19.62 at 4 hours or after 6pm, with no platform fee and no weekend surcharge. That comparison is pointed: the S$3.90 platform fee and S$10 weekend surcharge Luce advertises against are exactly Helpling's. If you want a lower recurring rate with a compounding discount, Sureclean's 3-hour HDB session from S$72 falls to about S$68 on a 4-week contract, though both figures are before GST (S$78.48 and S$74.56 with it). For a longer session, Luce's S$78.48 and Whissh's S$80 per 4-hour weekly slot are the two lowest here. For a specific big job rather than maintenance, match the specialist: Auntie Cleaner for spring cleans (S$198 including GST under 600 sqft), Whissh for a deep clean if eco-friendly products matter more than price. Helpling remains the better pick for maximum scheduling flexibility.
