Planning a renovation in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor? Most homeowners forget to budget for one critical final step — post renovation cleaning KL services. Getting this right ensures your home is truly move-in ready once the contractors leave. In this guide, we break down exactly what you can expect to pay in 2025, what drives your final bill, and what a proper professional clean actually includes.
Key Takeaways
- Post renovation cleaning KL starts from RM540 for a minimum booking of 2 cleaners over 6 hours.
- Antz Services charges additional time at RM45 per man-hour — confirmed transparently before any extra work begins.
- The four main cost factors are built-up size, renovation scope, stain severity, and the number of wet areas.
- For properties above 2,000 sqft, we recommend a custom site-based quote.
- The fastest way to get an accurate price is to WhatsApp photos of your unit together with the built-up size.
Why Post Renovation Cleaning Costs More Than Regular Cleaning
After your renovation wraps up, contractors typically do a basic broom-sweep and leave. However, what they leave behind goes far beyond everyday household dust. Fine cement particles settle deep into grout lines, window tracks, and even inside cabinet drawers. Paint drips dry onto your new tiles. Sawdust packs into every corner of the unit.
Standard household tools simply cannot handle this level of contamination. Professional post-renovation cleaning requires industrial-grade vacuums, chemical stain removers, ladders, and a trained team who follow a structured multi-stage process. As a result, the cost runs meaningfully higher than regular housekeeping — and the difference is immediately obvious once the team finishes.
Post Renovation Cleaning KL: How Antz Services Prices This Work
At Antz Services, we price post renovation cleaning KL jobs using a transparent model with no transportation charges and no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay — every time.
Minimum Booking: RM540 (2 Cleaners × 6 Hours)
Our minimum booking covers 2 cleaners working for 6 hours — a total of 12 man-hours of professional cleaning time. This entry point works best for smaller units or lighter renovation dust where the full scope fits comfortably within the minimum session.
Sqft-Based Custom Quote — Best for Most Projects
For the majority of renovation projects, we assess pricing based on your built-up size, renovation condition, paint and cement severity, and the number of wet areas. We provide a fully transparent quote before we begin any work. There are no surprises on the day.
Large and Commercial Properties: Custom Site Quote
For landed homes above 2,000 sqft, offices, shophouses, or commercial fit-outs, we recommend a site visit. This gives us an accurate picture of the scope and lets us plan the right manpower for your property.
Additional time: If the job needs more hours than we initially estimated, we charge extra time at RM45 per man-hour. We always confirm this with you before the team continues any additional work.
5 Factors That Affect Your Post Renovation Cleaning Cost
Two properties of the same size can have very different cleaning bills. Here are the five main factors we consider when quoting your job.
1. Extent and Type of Renovation
A full gut-out renovation — hacking walls, new tiling throughout, complete repainting, and full kitchen installation — creates significantly more mess than a partial repaint or single-room refurb. Therefore, comprehensive renovation projects naturally attract a higher cleaning cost. Heavy construction work produces ultra-fine cement dust that embeds deep into surfaces and requires specialist equipment to remove properly.
2. Built-Up Size of the Property
This is the most direct cost factor. Larger properties need more man-hours to clean thoroughly. For example, a studio apartment needs far fewer hours than a double-storey terrace house — even at similar renovation intensity.
3. Number of Wet Areas
Bathrooms and kitchens are the most time-intensive rooms to clean after renovation. Cement haze on tiles, grout residue, paint drips on sanitary ware, and silicone overspray all need detailed chemical treatment. Consequently, a property with 4 bathrooms costs noticeably more to clean than one with 2, even at the same total built-up size.
4. Floor and Surface Type
Standard ceramic and porcelain tiles are straightforward to clean. However, marble, timber parquet, and polished concrete require pH-neutral, non-abrasive solutions and more careful handling — which adds time to the job. Always tell your cleaning company about premium or delicate flooring in advance so they can prepare accordingly.
5. Urgency and Scheduling
Booking your clean 3 to 5 days in advance gives you better team availability and a smoother experience overall. In contrast, last-minute same-day requests are harder to schedule well — particularly for larger properties that need a bigger team.
What a Professional Post Renovation Clean Includes
At Antz Services, our team follows a structured 4-stage workflow for every job. This ensures nothing slips through before we hand your property back to you.
Stage 1 — Initial Cleaning
We start with complete dusting and wiping of all surfaces, including walls and furniture. We clean windows, frames, and railings inside and out. Additionally, we sweep, vacuum, and wipe all floors to remove the first layer of renovation debris and dust.
Stage 2 — Detailed Cleaning
Next, we go deeper. We clean inside cabinets and cupboards where required. We vacuum and mop all floors multiple times to capture finer particles. Our team pays extra attention to blind spots, edges, and hard-to-reach areas. We also complete thorough kitchen and bathroom surface cleaning at this stage.
Stage 3 — Stain Removal
We treat paint stains using specialised tools and industrial-grade cleaning agents. Our team carefully checks bathroom tiles, sinks, toilet bowls, and bathtubs for cement haze and residue. We use targeted chemical treatment to tackle tough construction marks. Grout haze on fresh tiles, for example, needs specific chemical products to resolve properly — so we always carry these as standard.
Stage 4 — Final Inspection
Before our team leaves, we walk through the entire property to confirm no key areas are missed. We dispose of remaining renovation debris and scraps. Finally, the team checks that your property meets move-in standards before handover. You or a representative should attend this final walkthrough.
What We Do NOT Include
- Bulky construction debris: Your contractor must clear large waste, broken tiles, and wood planks before our team arrives.
- Sofa and mattress cleaning: Furniture stored inside during renovation absorbs cement dust. We offer this as a separate service. See sofa cleaning → and mattress cleaning →
- Air-conditioning servicing: This needs a separate specialist — it is not part of a renovation clean.
- Exterior facade cleaning: External walls and building facade work fall outside a standard residential post-renovation clean.
Important: You need water and electricity available at the property on the day of service. Our team brings all industrial equipment, chemicals, vacuums, mops, brooms, and ladders — you do not need to prepare anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions About Post Renovation Cleaning KL
How much does post renovation cleaning KL cost?
Post renovation cleaning KL at Antz Services starts from RM540 for a minimum booking of 2 cleaners over 6 hours. For larger properties or heavier renovation scope, we quote based on built-up size, condition, and total man-hours required. We charge additional time at RM45 per man-hour — and we always confirm this before the team continues.
How long does post-renovation cleaning take?
For a standard 3-bedroom condominium, our team typically completes the clean in 4 to 8 hours. Larger properties or heavier renovation work take longer. When you send us the property details and photos upfront, we give you a time estimate before we arrive.
Do I need to provide any cleaning equipment or supplies?
No. Our team brings industrial-grade vacuums, mops, brooms, ladders, cleaning detergents, and specialised chemicals. You only need water and electricity available at the property — nothing else.
Should I book before or after moving in furniture?
Always before. We clean the empty property first, then you move your furniture in. Cleaning around sofas, beds, and boxes produces far worse results — and you risk contaminating your new furniture with residual cement dust.
Can you remove paint stains and cement residue?
Yes. Paint stain removal and cement residue cleaning are standard parts of every job. We use specialised tools and industrial-grade agents to treat tough renovation stains safely on all common surfaces.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover 62+ locations across KL and Selangor including Cheras, Ampang, Bangsar, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Mont Kiara, and Seri Kembangan. WhatsApp us to confirm your area.
