Office cleaning price: what companies publish
Office cleaning in Singapore is sold by the hour, by the job or by the month, and the five companies publishing a line in the directory use all three units. Because the units differ, there is no single range or middle figure. The table below shows each line as printed, linked to its source.

Published office cleaning rates
Each figure is one company's own advertised rate with its conditions, not a market average or a quote.
These companies publish their rates in different units, so there is no single middle figure.

| Company | Service as listed | Rate | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUTLER Housekeeping | Regular Office Cleaning | From S$20 per hour, per staff member | housekeeping.sg |
| GJourney Services | Commercial Cleaning | From S$24 per hour | g-journey.com |
| ESP Cleaning Services | Office carpet cleaning, 1 to 1,099 sqft (minimum) | S$400 per job | espcleaning.sg |
| Getz Cleanz Pte. Ltd. | Office cleaning | From S$1,400 per month | getzcleanz.com.sg |
| Lifeline Cleaning Pte Ltd | Office cleaning, Monday to Friday 4 hours | From S$1,400 per month | lifelinecleaning.com.sg |
Two lines are hourly. "Regular Office Cleaning" is printed from S$20 per hour, per staff member, so ask how many cleaners would attend each visit. "Commercial Cleaning" is printed from S$24 per hour.
One line is per job. "Office carpet cleaning, 1 to 1,099 sqft (minimum)" is printed at S$400 per job. It is a minimum charge for a carpeted area up to that size, not a routine visit.
Two lines are monthly. "Office cleaning" and "Office cleaning, Monday to Friday 4 hours" are each printed from S$1,400 per month. The second spells out its weekday schedule.
Four of the five lines start with "from", which marks a starting rate; your quote will follow your floor plan and task list. The office cleaning service page lists the companies offering this work.
Hourly, per job or monthly contract
Hourly billing suits a small office that needs a few hours a week, such as a five-person agency in a Tanjong Pagar shophouse that wants the floors, bins and toilet done twice weekly. You pay for the hours booked and can adjust them as the team changes.
A monthly contract suits an office cleaned every working day, such as a larger firm on a full floor in a Raffles Place tower. A fixed monthly figure is easier to budget for, and the schedule is agreed upfront.
Per job pricing covers occasional tasks: a carpet wash, a deep clean before you hand back a leased unit, or disinfection after someone has been ill.
When you compare commercial cleaning rates from different companies, judge each figure against its unit. An hourly rate and a monthly rate answer different questions. The cleaning price data study looks at published cleaning prices across the directory in more depth.
What changes an office cleaning quote
A company will often want to see the space, or at least a floor plan, before it prices the job. These points move the figure:
- Floor area. More square feet means more time on floors, desks, glass panels and skirting.
- Frequency. Daily, alternate-day and weekly cleaning are priced differently.
- Carpets. Routine visits may include vacuuming, while a periodic wash may be a separate per-job charge.
- Pantry and toilets. Washing up, wiping the fridge and restocking toilets add time to each visit.
- After-hours access. Night or weekend cleaning depends on your building's access rules and how the company charges for those hours.
- Consumables. A quote may include toilet rolls, hand soap and bin liners, or leave them for you to buy.

Check the cleaning business licence
NEA's Cleaning Business Licence page says businesses offering general cleaning services at premises or public places, even as only part of their business, must get a cleaning business licence before starting cleaning works. Office and commercial is one of its three sub-sectors, alongside food and beverage, and conservancy. NEA introduced the mandatory licensing regime in 2014, and its requirements include training for cleaners and the Progressive Wage Model.
The NEA licence FAQ says any business offering non-domestic general cleaning, such as office cleaning, carpet cleaning or cleaning of condominium common areas, must be licensed, whether the work is ad hoc or on a term contract. An office is not a domestic premises, so the company you hire for it needs the licence.
NEA lets service buyers search for licensed cleaning businesses through its licence page. Our cleaning licence check guide walks you through the search.

Compare home cleanersDisinfection and one-off deep cleans
If a colleague has been ill, you may want shared surfaces disinfected before the team returns: door handles, pantry counters, meeting room tables, light switches and toilet fittings. Ask the company which surfaces it will treat, which product it will use and how long people should stay out afterwards.
NEA's guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting residences say disinfectants should be prepared and applied in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, so follow the product label. Our page on how to disinfect after illness covers the process in more detail.
Getting comparable quotes
Write one short scope sheet and send the same version to every company. Include:
- floor area, plus the number of toilets and pantries
- the days and hours you want, including any after-hours slots
- tasks done every visit, and tasks done weekly or monthly
- who supplies consumables
- any carpet washing or one-off jobs
Ask each company what it leaves out as well as what it covers, and how many cleaners will attend. The cleaning cost estimator gives you a rough starting point before the quotes arrive.
Questions
Is office cleaning charged per hour or per month?
Either, depending on the company. Of the five published lines, two are hourly, from S$20 per hour, per staff member, and from S$24 per hour. Two are monthly, each from S$1,400 per month. Hourly billing suits an office needing a few hours a week, while a monthly contract suits cleaning every working day.
Does an office cleaning company need a licence?
Yes. NEA's licence FAQ says any business offering non-domestic general cleaning, such as office cleaning, must be licensed, whether the work is ad hoc or on a term contract. You can search for licensed cleaning businesses through NEA's Cleaning Business Licence page before you sign.
Are cleaning supplies included in the price?
Not always. A quote may cover cleaning chemicals, toilet rolls, hand soap and bin liners, or expect your office to buy and stock them. Ask each company to list the consumables it supplies and who restocks them, so a quote that leaves them out does not look lower than it really is.
How often should an office be cleaned?
As often as the way your office is used calls for. A small team that comes in a few days a week may manage with a few hours of cleaning weekly. A busy office with a shared pantry and toilets may need a visit every working day. Decide which tasks happen every visit and which can wait a week.
Can office cleaning be done after hours?
Yes, where the company offers it and your building allows access. Evening or early morning cleaning means staff are not disturbed at their desks. Check your building management's rules on after-hours entry, lift use and noise, and ask whether the rate changes for evenings, weekends or public holidays.
Does the price include carpet cleaning?
Not necessarily. Routine visits may include vacuuming, but a full carpet wash can be priced as its own job. In the published lines, office carpet cleaning appears separately at S$400 per job, as a minimum for 1 to 1,099 sqft. Ask whether your contract includes any periodic carpet washing, and how often it is done.
