Move-In Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Dhanmondi: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Dhaka Cleaners plans move-in cleaning for apartments and flats in Dhanmondi around the way these properties are built and used. Before booking, we ask about size, layout, surfaces and access, then send a trained team with the equipment the job needs. When you request a quote, choose Apartment as the property type so the scope and price reflect your property from the start.
Local conditions in Dhanmondi add to what apartments and flats need. Dust from surrounding roads and construction, humidity in the monsoon and heavy daily use all leave their mark, and the effects build up faster in some parts of a property than others. When we plan move-in cleaning, we ask where you notice problems first and use that to set priorities, so the time on site goes where it will make the biggest difference.
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.
Mostly mid-rise apartment buildings, with some remaining independent houses and a large number of schools, coaching centres, clinics and restaurants on the main roads. Many buildings combine residential floors with commercial ground floors.
Most apartment buildings have a guard desk and a lift, and some ask for advance notice or the building manager's permission before a team brings in machines. Parking on the narrower numbered roads can be tight, and weekday traffic around schools affects arrival times.
For homes in Dhanmondi, 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)
For homes in Dhanmondi, 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.
Dhanmondi sits close to Mohammadpur, New Market, Kalabagan and Panthapath, 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 cover all of Dhanmondi. Same-day visits may be possible when booked early, subject to team availability; weekend slots for schools and offices fill quickly.
Common questions about move-in cleaning for apartments and flats in Dhanmondi.
Yes. Many buildings in Dhanmondi limit work to daytime hours or ask for notice at the guard desk. Tell us the rules when you book and we will schedule the visit to fit, registering the team with the guard or manager on arrival if required.
We do. Kitchen, hood and exhaust fan degreasing and pest control for restaurants are usually scheduled before opening or after closing so that service is not disrupted. A short site visit or a few photos help us quote accurately.
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.
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.
Often, yes. For many jobs, a short call and a few photos sent on WhatsApp are enough for us to confirm a price. Larger, unusual or commercial jobs may need a quick site visit first, which we arrange at a time that suits you.
