If you’ve searched for home cleaning apartment Singapore, you’ll find plenty of general house cleaning options, but The Care takes a different, more specialised approach. Between work, school runs, and the general pace of life in Singapore, deep cleaning the fabric items around your home rarely makes it to the top of anyone’s to-do list. Curtains collect dust for months, a mattress goes years without a proper clean, and a stroller or car seat quietly builds up crumbs and grime from daily use. That’s exactly the gap The Care’s at-home service fills: professional steam cleaning for the fabric and baby items in your HDB flat or condo, delivered directly to your door.
Quick Clarification
The Care’s at-home service covers on-site steam cleaning of curtains, carpets, mattresses, sofas, or upholstery, and baby items such as strollers, car seats, carriers, baby cots, and bouncers. It is not a general apartment, house, or office cleaning service, meaning we do not clean floors, kitchens, bathrooms, or handle general tidying. It also does not cover garment laundry or dry cleaning, which are handled separately through our regular laundry and dry cleaning service.
This guide covers exactly what’s included, why it’s worth booking a professional team rather than a rented steam cleaner, and how our pricing works so there are no surprises before you book.
Home Cleaning Service Singapore: What The Care Covers
Our at-home service is built around items that are difficult to transport and just as difficult to clean yourself thoroughly: sofas and upholstery, mattresses, carpets, and curtains, along with baby gear such as strollers, car seats, carriers, baby cots, high chairs, and bouncers. Each item goes through a multi-step process: sanitising, dry vacuuming, shampooing with deep extraction, and a final hot water steam treatment that lifts embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria from deep within the fibres rather than just cleaning the surface.
For baby items specifically, we use non-toxic, baby-safe cleaning agents along with a dry vacuum, full-surface wipe down, and disinfectant coating to eliminate the vast majority of germs and bacteria. This matters for anything your child spends hours in contact with, whether that’s a stroller seat, a car seat harness, or a favourite soft toy.
Top Benefits of Hiring Professional Cleaners for Your Flat
A quick note before the benefits below: “professional cleaners” here refers to our at-home fabric and baby item specialists, not a general house cleaner or maid service.
A few reasons households across HDB flats and condos in Singapore choose a professional at-home service over doing it themselves:
- Genuine time savings, since our team brings all the equipment and does the work while you carry on with your day.
- A deeper, more thorough clean than a rented steam cleaner or DIY scrubbing typically achieves, especially for allergens trapped deep in mattresses and carpets.
- Flexible scheduling that fits around your household’s routine, whether you’re in a busy condo or a smaller HDB unit with limited weekday availability.
- Safe, non-toxic product used throughout, which matters most for baby items and households with young children or pets.
It’s worth noting that leather and velvet upholstery require different treatment and aren’t covered under this particular service, and results on older or heavily set-in stains may vary depending on the fabric and how long the stain has been there.
Price List Home Cleaning Apartment: Fabric & Baby Item Rates
Every home is different, so rather than a single fixed price, your rate depends on the items you need cleaned, how many of them there are, and the specific service or add-on selected, whether that’s a sofa and upholstery cleaning, carpets, curtains, mattresses, or baby items like strollers, car seats, and cots.
What we can confirm upfront is this: across all at-home services, a minimum order of $175 applies per visit. The good news is that this minimum can be combined across any of our at-home services, so you don’t need to hit $175 within a single category. For example, you could combine a sofa clean with a couple of baby items, or a set of curtains with a carpet clean, and count the total toward your minimum order.
For an accurate quote, send us a few photos or a short video of your items through our booking form or WhatsApp. Our team will review these and get back to you with a clear price before you confirm your visit, so you know exactly what you’re paying for ahead of time.

Transparent Rates Based on Your Apartment Size
Rather than a flat rate per apartment size, pricing is actually driven by the specific items you need cleaned and how many of them there are, since that’s what determines time, solvent, and equipment needed. In practice, this tends to correlate with apartment size anyway: a larger condo unit usually means more curtains, a bigger carpet, or an additional bedroom’s worth of mattresses, which naturally raises the quote. Here’s what actually determines your rate:
- Number and type of items: a single sofa costs less to clean than a full package covering sofa, carpet, and curtains together
- Size of the item: a king-size mattress or a large area carpet takes more time and solvent than a single armchair or a small rug
- Baby item minimum order: at-home baby item cleaning requires a minimum spend of $175 per visit, so it works out best when you have a few items to clean at once rather than just one.
- Condition and stain severity: heavier staining or longer-term buildup may need additional treatment, which our team will always flag as part of your quotation.
Rather than publishing a single flat rate for every apartment, we ask for photos or a short video of your items’ material and condition in detail so we can give you an accurate quote before you commit to a booking date.
