Match The Scope

Book The Right Type Of Cleaning

A recurring home-cleaning visit is not the same as move-out, post-renovation, or specialist deep cleaning. Describe the condition of the home, priority rooms, and required equipment before comparing quotes.

  • Ask whether supplies, equipment, and transport are included.
  • Confirm whether the quote covers ovens, windows, high areas, or post-renovation dust.
  • For recurring service, clarify whether the same cleaner and time slot can be retained.

Before Booking

Turn A Vague Cleaning Request Into A Clear Scope

Most disputes come from different expectations. A provider may price a standard wipe-down while the customer expects mould treatment, grease removal, window cleaning, high-area dusting, or post-renovation debris cleanup.

Write down the rooms, surfaces, appliances, problem areas, preferred timing, and whether the home is occupied or empty. This helps providers quote realistic hours and decide whether one cleaner, a team, or specialist equipment is needed.

  • Ask what happens if the cleaner runs out of time before the checklist is complete.
  • Confirm whether the provider brings ladders, vacuum cleaners, steamers, or chemicals.
  • For tenancy handover, align the cleaning date after movers and before inspection.
  • For recurring cleaning, clarify replacement arrangements when the usual cleaner is unavailable.

Scope Clarity

Define What Clean Means For This Job

Cleaning providers can use the same word for different scopes. A weekly home clean, post-renovation dust removal, mattress cleaning, kitchen degreasing, mould treatment, window cleaning, and end-of-tenancy handover are not interchangeable services.

Good comparison starts with photographs and priorities. Show built-up dust, stains, appliance interiors, windows, ceiling fans, high shelves, and renovation residue. Ask whether the quoted hours are enough for the condition shown and what happens if the team cannot finish within the booking window.

  • Confirm whether supplies, machines, ladders, and transport are included.
  • Ask which tasks are excluded, especially high areas, exterior windows, and heavy furniture movement.
  • For tenancy handover, align the checklist with the landlord or agent inspection.
  • For recurring visits, ask whether the same cleaner can be retained.
Why do cleaning quotes vary so much?

The scope can be very different. A basic recurring visit usually excludes tasks that need extra time, equipment, or manpower. Ask for an itemised quote when the home needs a deeper reset.

What should I photograph before requesting a quote?

Photograph priority areas, built-up dust, stains, windows, kitchen appliances, and any renovation residue. Clear photos make it easier for a provider to propose realistic manpower and time.

Is a part-time cleaner the same as a maid agency?

No. Home-cleaning services and live-in helper arrangements involve different scopes and commitments, so SG LifeKit keeps them separate.
