Move-In Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses and schools in Wari: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
For most households in Wari, 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.
Wari is one of Dhaka's oldest planned residential neighbourhoods, set within the wider Old Dhaka area, with a mix of older family houses and newer apartment buildings. Baldha Garden, the historic botanical garden, lies within the neighbourhood. Dhaka Cleaners provides home deep cleaning, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, pest control, water tank cleaning and sofa care for Wari families, along with cleaning for schools, clinics and small businesses.
Homes in Wari share the problems common to Dhaka households: grease that builds up on kitchen tiles and cabinet doors, hard-water marks around taps and in bathrooms, dust packed into window grills and sliding tracks, and mould spots after months of humidity. With apartments, independent houses and schools in the area, move-in cleaning here focuses on the trouble spots within its scope first, then works steadily through the rest of the agreed checklist.
A blend of older family houses and newer apartment buildings, with schools, coaching centres, clinics and small shops.
High ceilings, tall windows and old mosaic floors in older homes need extra time and the right tools. Monsoon damp, cockroaches, bathroom scale and water tank cleaning are frequent requests.
For homes in Wari, 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.
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.
Removing dust, grease and old grime from kitchens and bathrooms makes the space healthier for your family.

Morning and weekend visits tend to be popular in Wari, so they are usually the first slots to go. Dhaka Cleaners also serves nearby areas such as Motijheel, Old Dhaka and Jatrabari, 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 serve all of Wari. Same-day visits may be possible, subject to team availability; high-ceiling and floor-polishing jobs are best booked ahead.
Roads are more regular than in much of Old Dhaka but still congested, with limited parking. Older houses may lack lifts, and some buildings ask for advance notice to the guard or owner.
Common questions about move-in cleaning in Wari.
Yes. We bring ladders and extension poles for ceiling fans, cornices, high windows and cobwebs. Mention the ceiling height when booking so we send the right equipment and team size.
Usually, yes. Mosaic and terrazzo floors respond well to machine scrubbing and polishing, although deep cracks or chips will remain. We can test a small area first so you can see the result before the full job.
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.
Pest control and water tank cleaning can often be arranged around the same move-in date, subject to team availability. Pest treatment usually works best once cleaning is finished, and we will advise on the right order.
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.
The price depends on the size of the job, its current condition, access and any extras you choose. Where the price estimator covers the service, it gives you a rough range in a minute. The final price is confirmed in a free quote before any work begins.
