Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses and schools in Pallabi: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Dhaka Cleaners provides move-in cleaning in Pallabi for homeowners, tenants, landlords, building committees and businesses, and each needs something slightly different. A tenant may want the work finished before a handover, a landlord needs a property ready to let, and a business wants the job done without interrupting its day. Tell us which describes you, and we will shape the scope and timing around it.
Pallabi is a large residential neighbourhood in the north of Mirpur, with its own station on MRT Line 6. Most residents live in apartment buildings, some in family houses, with schools, markets and small businesses mixed in. Dhaka Cleaners serves Pallabi homes with deep cleaning, home cleaning, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, sofa and carpet care, pest control and water tank cleaning.
Residential roads in Pallabi 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.
Mainly apartment buildings of varying age, some family houses, and schools, markets and small businesses; a few garment and manufacturing units in the wider area.
Built-up grease and stained tiles in older flats, move-in cleaning in newer ones, and cockroaches, mosquitoes and monsoon damp throughout. Schools and offices need out-of-hours cleaning.
For homes in Pallabi, 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 Pallabi, 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 Pallabi, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Mirpur 1, Mirpur 10, Mirpur 2 and Mirpur 6, 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.
We cover all of Pallabi. Same-day visits may be possible, subject to team availability; pest control is best booked a day ahead so you can prepare the kitchen.
Newer buildings usually have lifts and a guard who may ask for the team's details; older blocks are walk-ups. Inner roads can be narrow, so the vehicle may stop a short walk away.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Pallabi.
Ideally together, or the deep clean first. Removing grease and clutter helps cockroach treatment work better. We can arrange both in a single visit for Pallabi homes; just ask when you book.
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.
