Moving out is stressful, but losing your deposit doesn’t have to be part of it. Our end of tenancy cleaning Singapore team gets homes ready for inspection, so you can hand over the keys with confidence. We’ve helped tenants, landlords, and agents for 13+ years.
People call this post tenancy cleaning, move out cleaning, end of lease cleaning, or post moving out cleaning. In Singapore, move out cleaning refers to a professional deep cleaning session done before handover to meet tenancy agreements and protect your security deposit.
Moving out can feel overwhelming. However, with Singapore Cleaning Service (SCS), you avoid disputes and get your deposit back. Our post tenancy cleaning service is transparent, fairly priced, and tailored for HDBs, condos, studio apartment and landed homes.
When you move out, the property must be clean for handover. If not, landlords often deduct money from your deposit.
For example, greasy stovetops, dusty cupboards, or stained toilets are common reasons for disputes. As a result, tenants who skip proper cleaning end up losing hundreds of dollars.
On the other hand, a full end of tenancy cleaning gives landlords no reason to complain. It protects your deposit and gives you peace of mind.
In addition, a spotless handover builds a positive rental record. Future landlords will see you as a responsible tenant, which makes it easier to secure the next home.
Our checklist covers far more than normal house cleaning. It focuses on the areas landlords and agents check first.

In Singapore, move out cleaning refers to a one-time, professional service for departing tenants. In other words, it ensures the unit meets the lease and passes handover checks.
Many tenants think a quick mop or wipe down is enough. Unfortunately, landlords and agents check more closely. Here are common mistakes that cause problems:
Fridge not defrosted, leaving leaks and smells
Balcony or storeroom skipped, still dusty
Floor traps not cleaned, causing bad odours
Bulky items or rubbish left behind
Wrong products used on marble or parquet floors, leading to damage
Avoiding these mistakes saves you time, money, and stress. Our team knows exactly what landlords look for.
Many tenants believe a quick wipe or mop is enough. However, that’s rarely true. Landlords use detailed checklists, so small misses can cost you money.
Here are the most common mistakes:

Floor traps not cleaned, causing bad odours
Bulky items or rubbish left behind

As a result, deposits are often reduced for issues that could have been avoided. By preparing early and using our professional team, you secure a stress-free handover.
We know that moving can be stressful. That’s why our service comes with a touch-up guarantee.
If your landlord or agent raises a concern, we return the same day to fix it. For overseas tenants, we provide before-and-after photos so you have proof that the property is cleaned to standard.
As a result, you can relax knowing we stand behind our work. And for extra peace of mind, we encourage tenants to have the landlord or agent inspect the property before our cleaners leave.
Window and grill cleaning is included (internal surfaces only).
The cost of post tenancy cleaning services may vary depending on property condition and scope of work.
Altogether, these resources will help you prepare with confidence.
Some tenants prefer green cleaning methods. In addition, families with young children or pets often request safer products.
We provide eco-friendly cleaning packages using biodegradable and chemical-free solutions. These products reduce allergens and protect indoor air quality. Moreover, they are gentle on marble, parquet, and other delicate surfaces.
This option is especially popular with households that want a safe, chemical-free handover.
During handover, landlords and agents pay close attention to details.
For instance, they check ovens, cooker hoods, and fridge interiors. They look at bathroom grout, taps, and drains. They open cupboards to see if shelves are dust-free.
Moreover, they also examine air-con vents, windows, and balcony railings. Even small stains on the floor can lead to complaints.
Because of this, hiring a professional team is often the safer choice. It avoids disputes and protects your deposit.
