What a deep clean includes
A professional deep clean covers areas that regular cleaning misses entirely:
- Behind and under all appliances (fridge, washing machine, dryer).
- Inside kitchen cabinets, drawers and pantry shelves.
- Grout lines, tile descaling and full bathroom sanitising (toilet cistern, behind toilet).
- Window tracks, frame edges, grilles and fly-screen frames.
- Ceiling fans, air-cond cover and return-air grilles.
- Full floor scrubbing including under sofas and bed frames.
- High-touch disinfecting (light switches, door handles, remote controls).
- Wardrobe interiors and cabinet tops.
Regular cleaning only covers visible surfaces; a deep clean reaches the grime that accumulates over months — ideal between tenancies or before a home sale.
Post-tenancy & move-out cleaning
Post-tenancy deep cleans get a vacant unit back to market standard and are priced slightly higher than a standard deep clean because the grime is usually more severe — cooking residue, limescale, mould and accumulated dust from months or years of occupancy. Key scenarios:
- End of tenancy (landlord): required before finding a new tenant; helps preserve security deposit deduction rights by documenting condition before and after.
- Move-in clean (new tenant): ensures you start in a properly sanitised space.
- Pre-sale / vacant possession: a clean unit photographs better and commands higher valuations.
- Post-renovation: removes construction dust, paint splatter and debris from a freshly renovated unit (see our renovation checklist →).
Add-on services & their costs
| Add-on | What’s done | Indicative cost |
|---|
| Aircon cover & filter clean | Remove cover, wash filter, wipe coil | RM40–RM80 / unit |
| Carpet/rug shampooing | Hot-water extraction, stain treatment | RM1.50–RM3 / sq ft |
| Sofa / upholstery cleaning | Steam or dry extraction, deodorising | RM150–RM400 |
| Oven deep clean | Full interior degrease, racks soaked | RM80–RM150 |
| Water tank / overhead tank clean | Drain, scrub, sanitise, refill | RM200–RM400 |
What affects deep cleaning cost?
- Level of soiling: a unit vacant for 2 years with pet odours and heavy kitchen grease will cost more than a lightly used home.
- Number of bathrooms: each additional bathroom adds roughly RM50–RM100 to the cost.
- Furnished vs unfurnished: furnished units take longer (more surfaces, appliances, upholstery).
- Post-renovation dust: construction dust is extremely fine and coats every surface — post-reno cleans are priced 20–40% higher.
- Access timing: urgent same-day or weekend slots may carry a small surcharge.
Deep clean inspection checklist (landlords)
Use this checklist to verify work has been completed before releasing deposit:
- Kitchen: inside all cabinets, cooker hood clean, tiles degreased, sink descaled.
- Bathrooms: grout whitened, shower head and tap descaled, toilet brush holder and cistern cleaned.
- Floors: no residue under appliances, all grout lines clean.
- Windows: tracks, weep holes and grilles wiped clean.
- Ceiling fans and air-cond covers: dust-free, no mould.
- Wardrobes: interior surfaces wiped, no residue on shelves.
How long does a deep clean take?
A 3-bedroom condo typically takes 4–6 hours with a team of 2–3 cleaners. A semi-D with 4+ bedrooms and 3+ bathrooms can take a full day. Post-renovation cleans run 30–50% longer due to fine dust infiltration. We provide an estimated completion time when you book.
The timeline varies based on the level of soiling and whether add-on services are included. For a move-in clean of a brand-new unit, expect 2–3 hours for a condo (minimal grime, just construction dust and developer handover cleaning); for a post-tenancy clean of a heavily used property, budget the full time estimates above or more. We can always extend the session if needed — just let us know upfront and we will bring a larger team.
How to prepare for a deep clean
- Clear personal items off kitchen counters and bathroom surfaces so cleaners can reach every corner.
- Empty the fridge if you want the interior cleaned (or specify “fridge interior” when booking).
- Ensure power and water are on (needed for vacuum, steam mop, and disinfecting).
- No need to provide any equipment or cleaning products — we bring everything, including industrial vacuum, steam mop, micro-fibre cloths, degreasers and tile descaler.
- If the property is furnished, move small valuables to a safe spot before we arrive — this avoids any accidental knocking during cleaning.
How to save on deep cleaning costs
- Book weekday slots — weekends are in higher demand.
- Bundle with aircon servicing — we can do both in the same visit and offer a combined discount.
- Set up a quarterly maintenance contract if you manage multiple units — per-unit rates drop significantly at volume.
- Do a quick sweep and declutter before we arrive to minimise labour time on non-cleaning tasks.
For landlords: managing cleaning across a property portfolio
Property managers can set up recurring packages (monthly, quarterly, or between tenancies) for multiple units, with a fixed per-unit price. This removes the hassle of getting quotes each time a unit turns over. ClickBina works with landlords across the Klang Valley — we coordinate access with outgoing tenants, document condition before and after with photos, and send you a report. Useful alongside our security deposit rules guide →.
