Need an easy end-of-tenancy clean?

Many of us have been doing more chores at home thanks to COVID-19 (scrubbing is often preferable to another Zoom work call, right?); others are lucky enough to have a helper. However, the level of cleaning required for an end-of-tenancy clean hits a whole new level. If you’re moving house in Singapore, it’s common that a professional cleaning service must be carried out in your rental home or apartment before you get your deposit back.

This is when you regret that small social gathering you had three years ago; the one that resulted in the broken balcony chair. Or you wish you hadn’t turned your back for two minutes while your toddler doodled over your landlord’s sofa. And whose great idea was it to put the hot pan on the kitchen countertop and not on the trivet?

A professional end-of-lease clean

Thankfully, when it comes to moving house and your end-of-tenancy clean, reinforcements are at hand. (And they’re not afraid of a sauce-splattered microwave!) Take Clean On-Demand: this Singaporean company offer an online service for those moving house to hire a cleaner through the convenience of their website or a mobile app.

It’s super-easy: simply log on to get an on-the-spot quotation via their handy online cleaning calculator. You just need to answer a few questions regarding the size of your house, and provide details such as the number of windows, aircon units and appliances that have seen better days, and it will work out the estimated cost. Also, there’s no need to book weeks in advance. Your professional part-time cleaner can be at your door – mop in hand and smile on face – within the hour if necessary.

Also known as ‘spring cleaning services’, Clean on Demand’s end-of-tenancy clean can get your home back to the way it looked when you first moved in. What’s more, being a savvy local brand, they know what a landlord is looking for when it comes to carrying out the final property inspection.

Peace of mind when moving house

For this reason, they offer a resourceful range of professional cleaning services to give you peace of mind and the best chance of a happy ending. Along with standard house cleaning, they can assist with cleaning curtains, checking door-knob keys are intact and making sure that all appliances are in working order. Is the maintenance of your air-conditioning units giving you sleepless nights? (We’ve all been there!). Clean On-Demand can check out the situation and troubleshoot any foreseeable problems. They’re highly trained, discreet and experienced in cleaning every type of home from old apartments and historic shophouses to brand new condos; no job is too big or small, and chances are they’ve seen it all.

If there’s something specific in your home that needs special attention, or an area that’s particularly troublesome (hello, shower fungus…), they’ll happily set up a program or advise if deep cleaning is required so you can get everything accomplished prior to your handover date. For extra peace of mind, you can even track your cleaners and handymen/women online as they work.

By engaging Clean On-Demand to help you with your end-of-tenancy clean, you can get the house or apartment looking shiny and feeling new. Now, if only someone could invent a service that provides the same results for humans …
