Book through a company: hiring a foreign domestic worker on her rest day, or a foreigner without a valid work pass, is illegal for both you and the worker.

What licence should a cleaning company have?

  • Household Services Scheme (HSS) company

    Ministry of Manpower (MOM) · Optional accreditation

    Lets companies employ migrant workers to provide part-time household services such as home cleaning. Using an HSS company (or a firm employing locals) is the legal way to get a foreign part-time cleaner.

  • Cleaning Business Licence

    National Environment Agency (NEA) · Optional accreditation

    Not required for cleaning private homes only, but required for non-domestic cleaning such as offices, condo common areas, carpet and upholstery cleaning. A licence is a useful signal for firms that also do commercial work.

How to choose a cleaning company

  • Decide between recurring and one-off service first: weekly or fortnightly plans are cheaper per hour and usually let you keep the same cleaner.
  • Ask whether the cleaner is the company's employee and, if foreign, holds a work permit under MOM's Household Services Scheme. Freelance foreign cleaners found through chat groups are working illegally.
  • For post-renovation cleaning, choose a flat-rate quote by floor area that states whether window tracks, grilles, cabinets and haze or cement-dust removal are included.
  • Check who supplies equipment and chemicals. Some services bring a vacuum and supplies, others expect you to provide them.
  • Read the cancellation, rescheduling and damage policy, and whether the company holds insurance for breakages.

Red flags

  • Offers from a foreign domestic worker to clean on her rest day. It is an offence for her and for you, even with her employer's consent.
  • Cash-only freelance cleaners recruited through Viber, WhatsApp or Facebook groups who cannot show a company or work pass.
  • Post-renovation quotes with no scope list, which often leads to add-on charges on the day.
  • No named company, UEN or way to raise a complaint if something is damaged or goes missing.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the cleaner your employee, and do foreign staff hold valid work permits?
  • What is the minimum number of hours, and are there weekend or public holiday surcharges?
  • Will I get the same cleaner each visit?
  • Do you bring equipment and cleaning products, or should I provide them?
  • How are breakages or missing items handled?

Questions about cleaning services in Singapore

How much does a part-time cleaner cost in Singapore?

Most companies charge roughly $21–$30 an hour as of 2026. Weekly or fortnightly plans sit at the lower end (around $21–$25 an hour), while one-off visits cost more. Expect a minimum booking of 3–4 hours, so a typical visit costs about $65–$120. Platform fees and Friday-to-Sunday surcharges can add a few dollars per booking.

Is it legal to hire someone else's maid for part-time cleaning?

No. MOM states it is an offence for a foreign domestic worker to take part-time work, with or without her employer's consent. Her work permit only allows domestic work for her employer at the registered address. Households that hire her can also be prosecuted, and fines have been imposed in past cases. Use a cleaning company instead.

Can I hire a freelance foreign cleaner directly?

Only if they hold a valid work pass that allows the work, which freelance foreign cleaners typically do not. Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, employing a foreigner without a valid work pass carries a fine of $5,000 to $30,000, up to 12 months' jail, or both. MOM allows part-time foreign cleaners through approved companies under the Household Services Scheme.

Does a home cleaning company need an NEA licence?

Not if it only cleans private residences. NEA excludes domestic cleaning at private homes from cleaning business licensing. A licence is required for non-domestic work such as office cleaning, condo common areas, carpet and upholstery cleaning. You can check licensed cleaning businesses on NEA's public search page.

How much is post-renovation cleaning in Singapore?

Published flat rates start at about $300 for homes under 500 sq ft and run to about $450–$550 for 1,000–1,600 sq ft. Larger condos and landed homes cost more. Confirm that the quote covers cement dust, paint splatter, window tracks, grilles and the insides of new carpentry, as these are the parts that take the most time.
