Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses and schools in Aftabnagar: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Homes in Aftabnagar face the same everyday pressures as much of Dhaka: dust through open windows, bathrooms that stay damp and kitchens that work hard every day. Dhaka Cleaners provides move-in cleaning for flats and houses here with a trained team that brings its own equipment, follows your household's rules on shoes and off-limits rooms, and walks through the finished work with you. Morning and weekend slots are offered where available.
Aftabnagar is a planned residential area east of Rampura and Badda, laid out in blocks and roads, and home to East West University. Many plots have been developed in recent years while construction continues on others, so new apartment buildings sit alongside older houses and vacant land. We clean newly finished flats, family homes and small commercial spaces across Aftabnagar.
Residential roads in Aftabnagar can mix apartment buildings with independent houses and duplexes, and the two need different planning. A flat is usually handled in a single visit with the family at home; a house may have several floors, internal stairs, a rooftop and staff quarters, so the team works from the top down and may need more people. Either way, move-in cleaning here is timed around school and office hours where possible.
Newer apartment buildings and independent houses on planned plots, with construction continuing on vacant land. East West University and small commercial strips sit along the main roads.
Construction dust is the main issue, reaching windows, balconies and furniture even in finished buildings. New flats need post-construction or move-in cleans, and standing water on open plots encourages mosquitoes during the monsoon.
The steps below are adjusted to your property and its condition, but the order rarely changes: understand the job, agree the scope, do the work, then review it together.
We check each room with you, note existing stains or damage and agree priorities.
Ceiling fans, light fittings, cornices, door tops and high shelves are dusted and wiped.
Cabinets inside and out, counters, wall tiles, sink and fittings are degreased and cleaned.
Tiles, grout, taps, showers, toilets, basins and mirrors are descaled and sanitised.
Wardrobes, doors, switchboards, window frames, glass and grills are cleaned room by room.
Floors and balconies are scrubbed and mopped, then we walk through the property with you.
Our walk-through notes existing stains or damage, which you may want to share with the landlord.
While we clean, you can focus on packing, transport and getting utilities connected.
Pest control and water tank cleaning can be arranged around the same move-in date, subject to team availability.
Every cupboard, drawer and surface is clean before your belongings go in.
Equipment: We work with vacuum cleaners, extension poles for fans and high fittings, floor brushes or a scrubbing machine suited to the floor type, and microfibre cloths.
Starting from ৳ 5,000 per property (minimum)
For homes in Aftabnagar, move-in cleaning starts from ৳ 5,000 per property (minimum). The final price depends mainly on the number of rooms or the floor area and the current condition, and it is confirmed with you before the team is booked.
Morning and weekend visits tend to be popular in Aftabnagar, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Rampura, Merul Badda, Middle Badda and East Badda, and booking a few days ahead is the surest way to get the time you want. If something urgent comes up, ask about same-day availability and we will tell you honestly whether a team is free.
Aftabnagar visits are generally arranged a few days in advance. Post-construction cleans need more planning, and any same-day request depends on team availability.
Some internal roads can turn muddy or waterlogged after heavy rain, so please share directions and a landmark. Newer buildings usually have lifts, but tell us if yours is not yet in service.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Aftabnagar.
In newly completed buildings the lift is sometimes not yet in service. Our team can carry portable equipment up the stairs, but please tell us the floor number when booking, as higher floors without a lift may need more time and more people.
Our pest control service treats mosquitoes, cockroaches and other common household pests, which reduces activity inside your home. Mosquitoes breeding on nearby vacant plots or in open drains are outside anyone's single treatment, so we also advise on removing standing water around your building.
The price is agreed before work starts. Payment is usually made after the job is finished and you or your representative have checked the property.
Ideally a day or two before your furniture arrives, once the previous occupants have left and water and electricity are working. Dates around the start of the month can be busy, so booking early helps.
It depends on the day's bookings and on traffic. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, subject to team availability, while most jobs are booked a day or more ahead. We agree an arrival window with you and contact you if the team is delayed.
Yes. Let us know as early as you can by phone or WhatsApp and we will offer the nearest available slot. Any terms for late changes are confirmed when you book.
