Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses, shops and restaurants in Old Dhaka: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Good move-in cleaning starts with an honest assessment. When you contact Dhaka Cleaners about a property in Old Dhaka, we ask what the problem is, how long it has been building up and what you have already tried. If something is beyond what the job can fix, such as permanent staining or damp caused by a leak, we say so before booking, and the quote reflects the work that will genuinely help.
Old Dhaka is the historic core of the city along the Buriganga, home to Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil and the Sadarghat river terminal. Its narrow lanes are lined with old multi-storey buildings where shops, wholesale traders and small workshops share space with family homes. Dhaka Cleaners provides home deep cleaning, shop and godown cleaning, kitchen cleaning and pest control here, with teams that plan carefully for lanes where vehicles cannot go.
Buildings in Old Dhaka are often shared between uses, with shops or offices on the lower floors and flats above. That raises practical questions: when the service lift can be used, where equipment can be stored during the job, and whether noisy work must avoid business hours or evenings. Dhaka Cleaners settles these with you and the building management before move-in cleaning begins, which keeps the job running smoothly for everyone in the building.
Old multi-storey, mixed-use buildings with shops, godowns and small workshops on the lower floors and family homes above, plus newer apartment buildings, wholesale markets and eateries.
Built-up grime on stairs and old floors, kitchen grease, hard-water stains and neglected water tanks are common in homes. Shops and godowns need dust and debris clearance and pest control for cockroaches and rodents; eateries need regular degreasing.

Every move-in cleaning job in Old Dhaka is priced on its actual scope rather than a one-size rate. Share the details through the quote form or on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the price before work begins.
Whether you are in Old Dhaka itself or close by in Wari, New Market, Keraniganj and Motijheel, the booking process is the same: share the details, agree the scope and price, then choose a slot. We are always clear about when a team can realistically reach you; same-day service is subject to team availability and cannot be promised in advance.
We cover Old Dhaka on planned visits. Same-day service may be possible for small jobs, subject to team availability and access; larger jobs need a quick site check.
Many lanes are too narrow for vehicles, so equipment is carried in from the nearest main road, which can add time to the job. Parking is scarce and traffic heavy, particularly around Sadarghat and the wholesale markets.
