Move-In Cleaning
For offices, apartments, restaurants and shops in Paltan: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
For most households in Paltan, move-in cleaning is about getting the home to a standard that daily sweeping and mopping cannot reach. Dhaka Cleaners sends a trained team that brings its own equipment and household-grade cleaning agents, works area by area and keeps disruption to family routines low. Children, elders and pets are considered when we choose products and timing, and the finished work is checked with you before the team leaves.
Paltan sits right beside Motijheel in central Dhaka, taking in Purana Paltan and Naya Paltan, close to the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque and the National Stadium. Its busy streets mix office buildings, shopping arcades and eateries with apartment buildings, and the roads around the stadium and mosque are crowded most days. Dhaka Cleaners offers office cleaning, shop and showroom cleaning, contract cleaning and deep cleaning for Paltan's businesses and residents.
Even in a busy commercial district like Paltan, people live above and behind the shopfronts, so jobs here range from office floors and showrooms to family flats on busy streets. Access is the common thread: parking is scarce, loading may be restricted during the day and buildings often have strict entry rules. Dhaka Cleaners agrees an unloading point and arrival time in advance and sizes the team so move-in cleaning finishes within the window your building allows.
Largely commercial: office buildings, shopping arcades, shops and eateries, with apartment buildings on the side streets.
Traffic dust, heavy footfall and busy washrooms keep offices and shops under constant pressure. Eateries need regular kitchen degreasing and pest control, and residential flats need deep cleaning and water tank cleaning.
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.
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 Paltan, 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 Paltan with nearby areas such as Motijheel, Malibagh 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.
We cover Purana Paltan and Naya Paltan. Same-day visits may be possible, subject to team availability; business cleaning is usually booked outside trading hours.
Roads around Baitul Mukarram and the National Stadium are congested, especially at Friday prayer times and during events. Office buildings usually require registration with building management, and parking is very limited on weekdays.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Paltan.
Early mornings, evenings and weekly holidays usually work best, when footfall is lower and roads are a little clearer. Tell us your trading or office hours and we will suggest a slot, subject to team availability.
Yes. Through our cleaner supply service we can provide a trained cleaner for set hours each day, with duties, timings and replacement cover agreed in writing. We usually start with a short site visit.
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.
Yes. Cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, wardrobes and built-in storage is one of the main reasons to clean before moving in, and it is included as standard.
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.
