Move-In Cleaning
For apartments and independent houses in Banani DOHS: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
For most households in Banani DOHS, move-in cleaning is about getting the home to a standard that daily sweeping and mopping cannot reach. Dhaka Cleaners sends a trained team that brings its own equipment and household-grade cleaning agents, works area by area and keeps disruption to family routines low. Children, elders and pets are considered when we choose products and timing, and the finished work is checked with you before the team leaves.
Banani DOHS, often called Old DOHS, is a defence officers' housing scheme on the western side of Banani, near Mohakhali and the Cantonment. It is a planned residential area with its own local administration and a calmer, more orderly feel than the commercial roads around it. Dhaka Cleaners provides home cleaning, deep cleaning, pest control and water tank cleaning for families in its apartment buildings and houses.
Residential roads in Banani DOHS 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.
A planned residential scheme of multi-storey apartment buildings on former house plots, with some independent houses and very limited commercial use.
Spacious family flats need periodic deep cleaning, sofa and mattress care and water tank cleaning. Bathrooms often show hard-water scaling, and move-in cleaning is common when flats change hands.
Every job follows the same clear steps, so you always know what happens next and who to speak to at each stage.
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.
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.
Cleaning an empty property reaches places that furniture will cover for years.

Morning and weekend visits tend to be popular in Banani DOHS, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Mohakhali, Cantonment, Chairman Bari and Kemal Ataturk Avenue, 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.
We schedule Banani DOHS jobs throughout the week. Weekend slots are popular, and same-day visits depend on team availability.
Entry into the DOHS may involve a check at the gate, so we can share the team's details and vehicle number beforehand if required. Individual buildings usually have a guard and a caretaker who manage lift use.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Banani DOHS.
Access arrangements can vary, so when you book we ask whether the gate needs our team's names or vehicle number in advance. Sharing these details early helps the team get in without delay.
Pest control and water tank cleaning can often be arranged around the same move-in date, subject to team availability. Pest treatment usually works best once cleaning is finished, and we will advise on the right order.
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.
Where possible, yes. For regular or recurring work we try to keep the same team or supervisor on your job so they get to know your property, although this depends on staff availability and leave.
Yes. Larger jobs are planned with a bigger team or split across more than one day, and several properties can be scheduled together. The team size, timing and price are confirmed in the quote.
