POST RENOVATION CLEANING SINGAPORE

Renovation work ends when the contractors leave, but that is where the cleaning begins. Fine dust and general residue left behind by construction don’t respond to standard cleaning, and they don’t disappear on their own. Our professional post renovation cleaning service in Singapore is designed to handle it, making your move-in easier.

PROFESSIONAL POST-RENOVATION CLEANING SERVICES IN SINGAPORE

WHAT WE DO

A thorough clean-up of surfaces, fixtures and fittings after renovation works are complete (excluding painted surfaces and paint or cement staining). 

Post renovation cleaning is not the same as a standard home cleaning session. The type of soiling left behind after renovation work requires a different approach, using different cleaning agents and employing a more systematic process than regular housekeeping. Our cleaning team works through your space methodically from ceiling to floor, addressing every area affected by the renovation before handing the space back to you in a condition ready to move in.

Depending on the confirmed scope, property condition and accessibility, the following areas may be included in your post-renovation cleaning session:

ROOMS AND COMMON AREAS (BEDROOMS, LIVING ROOM, BALCONY)

  • Fine dust wiped down from surfaces including ledges and cornices (general construction debris removal is handled separately by your contractor as part of their general clean).
  • Interior windows and grills wiped down thoroughly, including window tracks and frames where dust and buildup accumulate heavily during renovation works.
  • Doors and gates wiped down on both faces including frames, handles and hinges to remove dust and light residue (paint marks, adhesive residue and other chemical staining should be addressed by your contractor or ID through a chemical wash before our session).
  • All floor areas vacuumed and mopped to remove fine dust left by renovation works.

FITTINGS

  • Wardrobes, drawers and closets wiped inside and out including shelves, rails and internal panels where fine dust settles during renovation (if empty).
  • Ceiling fans cleaned blade by blade including the motor casing, removing the layer of fine dust that accumulates during renovation works.
  • Aircon exterior units wiped down to remove dust buildup from the casing and surrounding surfaces.

BATHROOM

  • Floor scrubbed to remove dust from accessible surfaces.
  • Basin, toilet bowl and surrounding surfaces cleaned and disinfected, including fixtures and fittings affected by dust.
  • Mirrors and shower screens cleaned to remove the film of fine dust left on glass surfaces after renovation.
  • Stubborn stains on tiles, grout, and fixture surfaces treated only where possible.

KITCHEN

  • Stove, hob and exhaust grill cleaned including surrounding wall tiles and surfaces affected.
  • Cabinets and countertops wiped inside and out including hinges, edges and internal panels (if empty).
  • Kitchen appliances including oven, fridge and washing machine cleaned inside and out to remove dust and residue from renovation works (if empty).

PLEASE NOTE, THIS SERVICE DOES NOT INCLUDE:

  • Chemical wash, which must be arranged separately through your renovation contractor or ID.
  • Cove lights, chandeliers and paint marks on walls.
  • Areas where renovation works are still ongoing at the time of the session.

IS POST RENOVATION CLEANING REALLY NECESSARY?

Renovation dust is not ordinary household dust. It is a fine mixture of cement particles, silica, gypsum, wood fibres and chemical compounds from paints, adhesives and sealants that settles across every surface in the space. This extends to areas far from where the work was carried out, and unlike regular dust, these particles are fine enough to remain suspended in the air for hours and can collect in vents, ceiling fan blades and door tracks that standard mopping and wiping simply don’t reach.

Moving into a freshly renovated home should be one of the better experiences of homeownership. A professional post renovation cleaning team makes sure the space is ready for that, handling everything the renovation left behind so your household can settle in without reservation.

WHAT OUR POST RENOVATION CLEANING SERVICE IS BEST USED FOR

MOVING INTO A NEWLY RENOVATED HDB OR APARTMENT

The renovation is done, but the space isn’t ready yet. Fine construction dust settles into surfaces that look clean from a distance but aren’t, even after your contractor's general clean and any chemical wash. A professional post renovation cleaning service addresses this remaining dust before your furniture and belongings go in, so you’re actually moving into a clean home.

AFTER PARTIAL RENOVATION OR SPECIFIC ROOM WORKS

Post renovation cleaning is not only relevant after a full home renovation. Works limited to a single room, a bathroom retile, a kitchen overhaul or the installation of new built-in furniture all generate dust and grit that spreads beyond the immediate work area. A targeted post renovation cleaning session addresses the affected areas properly without the need to clean the entire home.

RETURNING A RENOVATED PROPERTY TO A TENANT OR BUYER

If you’re handing over a renovated property to a tenant or new owner, the condition of the space on handover matters. A professional post renovation clean helps present the property in a clean and professionally prepared condition, with accessible surfaces, fittings and fixtures cleaned within the confirmed scope.

WHEN THE RENOVATION HAS RUN OVER AND STRESS IS HIGH

Moving in after a renovation isn’t always straightforward. Timelines slip, tradespeople finish late and the clean-up is the last thing anyone has energy for after weeks of coordinating works. Handing the post renovation cleaning to a professional team removes one significant item from the list, with a cleaning crew that arrives equipped, works systematically and returns the space in a condition that’s ready for you to move into without further effort on your end.

(ADD-ON SERVICE) ADDRESSING FORMALDEHYDE AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY CONCERNS

New furniture, built-in carpentry and recently installed fittings can release formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, including chemicals such as benzene, toluene, xylene and acetaldehyde. These may be emitted from engineered wood, paints, adhesives, sealants and resins. In some households, elevated exposure may contribute to headaches, eye irritation and respiratory discomfort. For homes with these concerns, formaldehyde removal treatment is available as an add-on service alongside your post renovation clean, helping address air quality concerns that can come with newly installed furniture and carpentry.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY

Once your booking is placed, our support team confirms the session details, team size and estimated duration based on the size of your space. Please ensure renovation works are fully completed before the session date, as active works make it unsafe and impractical for our cleaning team to operate effectively. We’ll also ask for a walkthrough video of the space at least 3 days before your scheduled session, so we can align on the scope beforehand.

Your cleaning team arrives at the scheduled time with all professional cleaning tools, agents and equipment required for post renovation cleaning. Please ensure running water, electricity, lighting and safe access are available throughout the session, renovation works are complete, and contractors have removed their tools and bulky renovation waste.

Before cleaning begins, the team carries out a walkthrough of the space, noting areas of heavy soiling, construction residue, paint marks and any fittings or surfaces that require specific attention. This helps the team plan the session, though some areas may only become clear once cleaning is underway.

Working from the highest surfaces downwards, the team moves systematically through every room. Fine dust is removed from ceiling fans, cornices and window tracks before wet cleaning begins, using HEPA vacuums to capture fine renovation dust effectively. Floors are vacuumed and mopped as standard (floor scrubbing can be arranged separately as an add-on depending on flooring type). Kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures and cabinet interiors are cleaned in detail before the session moves to the next area. 

Once the clean is complete, the team carries out a final pass of the entire space. You are welcome to review the completed work and highlight any areas within the confirmed scope for the team to recheck before departure.

Our customer service team is reachable Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm, for any feedback or questions after the session. If something isn’t right, please contact us promptly with photos and details of the area concerned, and we’ll review it against the confirmed service scope and advise on next steps.
