Move-In Cleaning
For apartments and independent houses in Nikunja: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Nikunja is largely residential, from apartment blocks to family houses, so Dhaka Cleaners plans move-in cleaning here with residents in mind. Equipment is kept compact in shared corridors and lifts, noisy work is kept to sensible hours, and caretakers are told in advance who is coming. Whether the job is in a flat, a house or a small workplace on a residential road, priorities are agreed with you first.
Nikunja is a residential area beside the Airport Road, divided into Nikunja 1 and Nikunja 2, with the DSE Tower of the Dhaka Stock Exchange in Nikunja 2. Its roads are largely lined with apartment buildings and family houses. We clean homes and offices across both parts of Nikunja, from regular and deep cleaning to water tank cleaning and pest control.
Where your building in Nikunja has a caretaker, guard or management office, a smooth job depends on working with them. Before move-in cleaning begins, Dhaka Cleaners can confirm permitted working hours, whether the service lift must be booked, where water and power are available and how waste should leave the building. Agreeing these points early avoids delays on the day and keeps neighbours and other tenants on side.
Mostly apartment buildings and independent houses on residential roads, with shops and eateries on busier roads and some office use, including the DSE Tower in Nikunja 2.
Traffic dust from the Airport Road settles on windows, grilles and balconies, and roof and underground water tanks need periodic cleaning. In the rainy season, mould in bathrooms and mosquitoes around drains and open plots are the main concerns.
For homes in Nikunja, 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 Nikunja, 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.
Dhaka Cleaners covers Nikunja and nearby areas including Bashundhara, Khilkhet and Airport Area. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, subject to team availability, but booking a day or two ahead gives us the best chance of offering the time you want. Larger jobs are scheduled once the scope is agreed, so the right team and equipment can be assigned.
We cover Nikunja 1 and 2 for home and office cleaning; same-day visits for smaller jobs are sometimes possible, subject to team availability.
Parking near the building is usually possible on residential roads, though main-road traffic can slow our arrival at peak hours. Please let your guard or caretaker know the visit time, and tell us whether the building has a lift or is a walk-up.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Nikunja.
Yes, we work in both. When you book, mention which part and your road number so the team can plan the route and parking.
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.
Yes. If the flat only has general construction dust, move-in cleaning is usually enough. If there are cement, paint or adhesive marks on floors, tiles and fittings, post-construction cleaning is the better choice, and we will advise after seeing photos or 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.
