Move-In Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Banani: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Families living in apartments and flats in Banani usually want move-in cleaning finished within the day, with minimal disruption to meals, school and work. Dhaka Cleaners plans the team size to make that realistic, agrees priorities with you on arrival and keeps equipment tidy wherever the building has shared stairwells and lifts. Price, timing and any building rules are confirmed in advance.
When a home is lived in, move-in cleaning has to fit around family life. For apartments and flats in Banani, Dhaka Cleaners agrees priorities at the start, protects furniture and floors, uses household-grade products with good ventilation and keeps children and pets away from wet or treated areas. Working area by area means there is always somewhere comfortable to be, and a walk-through at the end lets you point out anything that needs another pass.
Move-in cleaning for a flat usually covers every room, the kitchen, attached and common bathrooms, balconies, window grills and the main door. In rented apartments we pay special attention to kitchen cabinets, where grease and cockroach droppings are often left behind, and to bathroom fittings with hard-water scale.
Before the visit we confirm lift use and working hours with the building's security desk or management, and bring everything up in one trip where possible. If you would like the landing in front of your door cleaned too, just let us know.
Apartment buildings dominate the residential roads, with commercial towers, bank branches and restaurants along Kemal Ataturk Avenue and a dense cluster of restaurants and cafés around Road 11.
Evening traffic around Road 11 and Kemal Ataturk Avenue is heavy and parking is limited, so we agree unloading points in advance. Apartment and office buildings usually require entry through the guard desk and may need lift booking.
For homes in Banani, the process is built around your household: we agree priorities with you, work through the space methodically and finish with a walk-through.
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.
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)
As a guide, move-in cleaning starts from ৳ 5,000 per property (minimum); larger, heavily soiled or hard-to-reach jobs cost more. Send a few photos and we will confirm the price for your property in Banani.
Banani sits close to Gulshan, Baridhara, Mohakhali and Cantonment, and Dhaka Cleaners plans work across these areas together. Homes can usually choose daytime or weekend slots, while shops and offices often prefer early-morning or after-hours visits; both are offered where available. Same-day service may be possible, subject to team availability, so call or WhatsApp to check.
We work in Banani most days of the week. Same-day visits are subject to team availability, and after-closing restaurant cleaning should be booked ahead.
Common questions about move-in cleaning for apartments and flats in Banani.
Yes. Restaurant cleaning, including kitchen hood and exhaust fan degreasing, is usually scheduled after the last service or before opening so the kitchen is not out of use during trading hours. Late-night slots are limited, so please book a few days in advance.
It can be, depending on the size of the job and which teams are free that day. Small jobs such as a single bathroom or a sofa set are easier to fit in at short notice, while full-flat deep cleaning is best booked a day or two ahead. All same-day requests are subject to team availability.
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.
Often, yes. Many jobs combine well, such as deep cleaning with sofa or carpet cleaning, or kitchen cleaning with pest control. Tell us everything you need when you ask for a quote, and we will plan the team and timing so the work is done efficiently.
Weekend and holiday slots are offered where teams are free, and they tend to fill up first. Booking a few days ahead gives you the best choice of times. For businesses, early-morning and evening visits can also be arranged, subject to team availability.
