How much does Chinese New Year spring cleaning cost in Singapore?

What spring cleaning costs in Singapore

Homejourney's January 2026 Singapore price guide reports one-off spring and deep cleans at about S$150 to S$450 for flats and mid-sized condos, and says deep cleaning of landed homes can easily exceed S$600 to S$1,000+ depending on floor area and complexity. It puts agency and platform part-time cleaners at about S$23 to S$30 per hour, and notes that some providers add a flat weekend surcharge, often around S$10 per appointment. It does not report a festive-period surcharge, so ask any provider you approach whether they add one. These are published figures from one guide, not Brigade's prices and not a market average.

When to book for Chinese New Year 2027

Chinese New Year Day 1 is Saturday 6 February 2027, and the Ministry of Manpower has announced Monday 8 February as a public holiday. Spring cleaning is traditionally finished before Day 1, because many families avoid sweeping in the first days of the new year in case they sweep away good fortune. That squeezes demand into the weeks before the holiday. Four to six weeks ahead of 6 February means enquiring from late December, and earlier is safer if you also want marble polished or a fixed date for a reunion dinner at home.

What a proper CNY spring clean should include

Ask every provider what the price covers before comparing totals. A full home spring clean should cover kitchens degreased after festive cooking preparation, bathrooms restored, interior glazing and window tracks, skirting, vents and fittings, and floors finished. Homes with marble can have polishing scheduled in the same window so the floors are ready for guests. Brigade also returns after the festivities for a discreet reset, often overnight.
