A clean office is one of those things nobody notices until it slips: overflowing pantry bins, grubby toilets, dusty desks before a client visit. Finding a reliable cleaning company is also about more than price. In Singapore, the company you hire must hold an NEA licence, wages for local cleaners are set by law, and the contract terms decide what happens when your regular cleaner is on leave.
This guide explains the rules every office should know, how to compare cleaning companies and what drives the cost, then lists five Singapore firms that offer office and commercial cleaning according to their own websites. They are in no particular order. We have not ranked or rated them, and none of them paid to be included. You can browse more firms in our Cleaning Services directory.
First check: is the cleaning company NEA-licensed?
Under Singapore’s Environmental Public Health Act, businesses offering general cleaning services at premises need a cleaning business licence from NEA. This matters to you as the buyer, too. NEA states that it is an offence for a service buyer to engage an unlicensed cleaning business, with a maximum fine of $10,000 and $1,000 for every day the offence continues. NEA asks buyers to make sure their provider holds a valid licence when the contract starts and throughout it, and to state this requirement in tender specifications.
There are three licence classes. Class 1 and Class 2 licensees must also hold at least bizSAFE Level 3 certification, while Class 3 is a starter licence for new businesses that cannot be renewed at that class. NEA provides a public search for licensed cleaning businesses, so check before you sign.

How to choose an office cleaning company
Define the scope and frequency first
Quotes are only comparable if every company prices the same work. Write down what needs cleaning, how often and when. A simple scope might look like this:
| Area | Daily | Weekly | Periodic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workstations and common areas | Empty bins, wipe high-touch surfaces, vacuum or mop floors | Dust ledges, partitions and furniture | Carpet shampooing, high dusting |
| Pantry | Wash up, wipe counters and sink, clear rubbish | Clean fridge and microwave | Deep clean appliances |
| Toilets | Clean and restock | Descale fittings | Deep clean |
| Windows and glass | Spot clean glass doors | Internal glass | External windows if allowed by the building |
Some of these, such as external windows, may be handled by your building’s managing agent, so check before including them.
Ask about manpower and backup
For contract cleaning, ask whether you get a dedicated cleaner, who covers sick days and annual leave, and how quickly a replacement is sent.
Ask how quality is checked
Look for supervisor visits, a checklist you can see, and a named contact for complaints.
Check security and confidentiality
After-hours cleaners have access to your office. Ask how staff are vetted, how keys and access cards are managed, and whether cleaners are briefed on confidential areas.
Read the contract terms
Check the minimum term, notice period, how price increases are handled and what happens if service falls short.
What affects office cleaning cost
The main drivers are hours of cleaning needed, frequency, floor area and layout, the number of toilets and pantries, and specialist work such as carpet shampooing. Labour is the largest component, and for Singapore citizen and PR cleaners, minimum basic wages are set under the Progressive Wage Model. MOM lists these monthly basic wages for full-time outsourced cleaners at office and commercial sites:
| Job level | 1 Jul 2026 – 30 Jun 2027 | 1 Jul 2027 – 30 Jun 2028 |
|---|---|---|
| General Cleaner / Indoor Cleaner | $2,080 | $2,250 |
| Outdoor / Healthcare / Restroom Cleaner | $2,495 | $2,665 |
| Multi-skilled Cleaner / Machine Operator | $2,700 | $2,870 |
| Supervisor | $2,870 | $3,040 |
Employers must also pay a PWM bonus of at least two weeks of basic wages a year to eligible cleaners. Because these wages step up every July, expect contract prices to be reviewed too, and be wary of a quote that looks too low to cover them. For published market prices, Avalon Services’ starting rates above are a useful reference point.

Office cleaning FAQ
Does an office cleaning company in Singapore need a licence?
Yes. Businesses providing general cleaning at premises need an NEA cleaning business licence, and NEA says it is an offence for a service buyer to engage an unlicensed provider.
How often should an office be cleaned?
It depends on headcount and use. Busy offices with shared pantries and toilets usually need daily cleaning of those areas, while a small team might manage with a few visits a week. Avalon Services suggests a deep clean every three to six months for most offices.
What is the Progressive Wage Model for cleaners?
It sets minimum basic wages and training for Singapore citizen and PR cleaners. From 1 July 2026, a full-time general or indoor cleaner at an office site must be paid at least $2,080 a month in basic wage, according to MOM.
Can cleaning be done after office hours?
Most commercial cleaning firms offer after-hours cleaning. Check your building’s access rules and agree how keys or access cards will be handled.
Should I choose a contract or ad-hoc cleaning?
Regular contracts suit day-to-day upkeep and usually come with a dedicated cleaner. Ad-hoc jobs suit deep cleans, post-renovation cleaning or a clean before moving in or out.
