Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses, restaurants and schools in Bashundhara: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
There are plenty of reasons to book move-in cleaning in Bashundhara: guests arriving for Eid, a new baby, the end of the monsoon, a tenancy changing hands, or simply a home that has slipped behind. Whatever the trigger, Dhaka Cleaners starts with a quick conversation about your flat or house, agrees the priorities and sends a supervised team that works to that plan, with the aim of leaving the space fresher and easier to keep clean.
Bashundhara is a large private residential development in north-east Dhaka, sitting beside Progoti Sarani and Kuril. Most of it is the Bashundhara Residential Area, laid out in lettered blocks, where modern apartment buildings stand alongside independent houses, private universities and Evercare Hospital Dhaka. Dhaka Cleaners cleans flats, family houses and newly handed-over units here, as well as the offices, cafés and schools that serve the neighbourhood, with the price agreed before any work starts.
Homes in Bashundhara share the problems common to Dhaka households: grease that builds up on kitchen tiles and cabinet doors, hard-water marks around taps and in bathrooms, dust packed into window grills and sliding tracks, and mould spots after months of humidity. With apartments, independent houses, restaurants and schools in the area, move-in cleaning here focuses on the trouble spots within its scope first, then works steadily through the rest of the agreed checklist.
Mostly multi-storey apartment buildings with independent houses and duplexes mixed in. Universities, schools, a large private hospital, cafés and small offices serve the residential blocks.
Construction dust on windows, grilles and balconies is a constant issue while nearby plots are being built. Newly handed-over flats typically need paint, cement and sticker residue removed before move-in. Larger homes with several bathrooms benefit from periodic limescale and mould treatment, especially after the monsoon.
Here is how move-in cleaning in Bashundhara usually runs, from your first message to the final check.
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.
Cleaning an empty property reaches places that furniture will cover for years.
Removing dust, grease and old grime from kitchens and bathrooms makes the space healthier for your family.
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.
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)
The cost of move-in cleaning depends on the size of the space, its condition and access, so each job is priced individually. A free quote, based on a call, photos or a short visit, gives you a clear figure before anything is booked.
Morning and weekend visits tend to be popular in Bashundhara, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Badda, Baridhara, Nikunja and Khilkhet, 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.
Bashundhara jobs are normally booked a few days ahead. Same-day visits may be possible if you contact us early, subject to team availability.
Most buildings have a guard desk and building management, so we share the team's details in advance and confirm lift or service-lift use. Traffic on Progoti Sarani and around Kuril can slow arrival at peak hours, so we build travel time into the schedule.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Bashundhara.
Many apartment buildings in Bashundhara ask for visitors and service teams to be registered at the guard desk, and some need the management office to approve lift use for equipment. When you book, we ask for the flat number and a contact person, and we can share the team leader's name and phone number beforehand so the guards are expecting us.
Yes. Because so many buildings in Bashundhara are new, move-in and post-construction cleans are frequent requests. We remove cement and paint marks, clean inside cabinets, wash bathroom and kitchen fittings, and clean windows and grilles. The time needed depends on the size of the flat and how much building residue is left, so we confirm scope and price before starting.
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.
It is best if someone who knows the property is there at the start to agree priorities and at the end to check the work. You do not need to supervise the team in between. If nobody can be present, speak to us beforehand so we can agree access and sign-off.
