Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses and restaurants in Khilgaon: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Homes in Khilgaon 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.
Khilgaon is a long-established residential area in east-central Dhaka, close to Malibagh, Rampura and Basabo, and known locally for the Khilgaon flyover and Taltola market. Its roads are lined with apartment buildings and older family houses, with shops and restaurants along the main streets. Dhaka Cleaners cleans flats, houses, shops and eateries across Khilgaon, quoting each job once we understand its size and condition.
Residential roads in Khilgaon 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 mix of older independent family houses and newer mid-rise apartment buildings, with shops and restaurants along the main roads and around Taltola market.
Older houses need attention to dulled floors, staircases, rooftops and water tanks, while newer flats mainly battle road dust, kitchen grease and monsoon damp. Restaurants and food shops need regular degreasing of hoods, exhaust fans and floors.
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.
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 Khilgaon, 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 Khilgaon, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Motijheel, Rampura and Malibagh, 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.
Khilgaon bookings are usually confirmed for the next few days. If you need help today, call early and we will check team availability.
Residential lanes can be narrow and crowded around market hours, so morning slots are often easiest. Older houses rarely have lifts, so please mention the number of floors when booking.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Khilgaon.
Yes. Older floors often look dull because of years of wear and residue. We assess the floor on the day, then machine-scrub it and, where the surface is suitable, polish it. Results depend on the floor's condition, and deep scratches or cracks cannot be removed by cleaning alone.
We can arrange early-morning or after-closing slots for restaurants so cooking areas, hoods, exhaust fans and floors are cleaned without interrupting service, subject to team availability. Share the kitchen size and the number of hoods for a quote.
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.
Not for the whole job. Someone should let the team in, show us around and check the result at the end, but you can hand the keys to a caretaker or family member if you are busy with the move.
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.
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.
