Move-In Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Malibagh: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Families living in apartments and flats in Malibagh 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 Malibagh, 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.
Dense residential streets of older houses and apartment buildings, with shops and market buildings around Mouchak and along the main roads.
Roads around Mouchak and the flyover are congested and parking is limited, so we agree a drop-off point before the visit. Some older buildings have narrow stairs and no lift.
For homes in Malibagh, 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.
Every cupboard, drawer and surface is clean before your belongings go in.
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.
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 Malibagh, 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.
Travel across Dhaka can be slow at peak times, so Dhaka Cleaners groups work in Malibagh with nearby areas such as Paltan, Khilgaon, Rampura and Moghbazar and agrees arrival windows in advance. If your preferred slot is already taken, we will suggest the nearest alternative. Same-day requests are welcome, though they remain subject to team availability.
Malibagh is covered throughout the week. Deep cleans are best booked a few days ahead, and same-day visits depend on team availability.
Common questions about move-in cleaning for apartments and flats in Malibagh.
Many buildings aim to clean their overhead and underground tanks around every six months, or sooner if residents notice sediment, a smell or discoloured water. We can clean several tanks in one visit if your building committee arranges access.
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.
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.
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.
