Top 5 Picks for Office Cleaning Providers in Singapore
How to choose an office cleaner?
Keeping the office clean is no easy task. Most companies either hire a cleaner full time, or outsource it to cleaning company. In our experience, the latter is definitely the easier option. Looking to outsource your office cleaning? There are over 1300 registered cleaning businesses under NEA currently (check for registration under this e-service) and possibly more companies unregistered. So how do you choose a reliable office cleaning provider?
Here are some useful tips on how to choose an office cleaning company:
- Choose an established cleaning service company
An established cleaning service company is one that has been in the cleaning business for a long time. You do not have time to micro-manage on how your office should be cleaned, so getting an experienced cleaning company ensures that the cleaner you are getting is well trained in cleaning. Most established cleaning companies are NEA registered and have won some Clean Mark awards.
- Choose a company that does office & commercial cleaning
As an office consultant, we cannot emphasise enough that home and office cleaning are quite different. Just like residential and commercial renovations, leasing etc. So be sure to outsource your cleaning to a company that has a track record on cleaning commercial offices.
- Check if they are insured
It is good to check if the cleaner and the company is backed by insurance. In the event that property is lost or damaged during the cleaning, it is always good to have insurance.

Before calling a cleaning company…..
Ideally, try to schedule your office cleaning at a time when there are no or lesser employees in the office to ensure that your staff is not disturbed by the cleaning procedure.
It is also equally important to communicate with your staff to do certain things before a scheduled cleaning such as – keeping valuables and documents under lock and key, disposing of leftover food as soon as they are done with it etc.
Have a list of tasks to be performed on daily and weekly basis. This enables you to keep track if all your requirements are getting attended to. Lastly, if possible, get your premises surveyed by the service provider before asking a formal quotation.
