My bathroom started looking like a science experiment last month, so I figured, heck, time to call professionals. Finding the "best" cleaning company in Singapore felt trickier than scraping mold off tiles. Here’s how I tackled it.

First Step: Internet Detective Mode

Googled things like "reliable cleaning Singapore" and "affordable deep clean". Top 5 names kept popping up everywhere – blogs, forums, even my neighbour muttered one name while complaining about her leaky faucet. Wrote them down:

• SparklingHomeSG
• PureClean Singapore
• NeatNest Experts
• ShinyHabits Cleaning
• FreshDwell Services

Playing Phone Tag (and Website Tag)

Called all five. PureClean picked up fast, sounded super organised. SparklingHomeSG made me wait 10 minutes listening to bad elevator music. NeatNest had this fancy online booking – clicked a few buttons, done. ShinyHabits? Phone went straight to voicemail three times. FreshDwell had a cheerful chatbot, kinda helpful but not quite human.

The Price Tag Shock (and Comparison)

Asked each for a standard 3-hour deep clean for my small apartment. Got quotes scribbled on a notepad:

• SparklingHomeSG: $120
• PureClean: $135 (but included window cleaning!)
• NeatNest: $145 (claimed "eco-friendly" products)
• ShinyHabits: $110 (cheapest, but bad vibes from the missed calls)
• FreshDwell: $130

PureClean looked expensive, but windows are a nightmare for me… tempting.

The Trust Test

Checked reviews like a hawk. Went beyond the stars. SparklingHome had a horror story about a broken vase. PureClean reviews mentioned "Auntie Linda" like family – consistent praise. NeatNest reviews gushed about the "lemon fresh smell". ShinyHabits? Mixed bag, some said "quick", others "rushed". FreshDwell had mostly "okay" ratings.

Taking the Plunge (Twice!)

Couldn’t decide between PureClean and NeatNest. Wanted thoroughness (PureClean) but also liked eco-friendly (NeatNest). Booked both for different rooms!

• PureClean: Two aunties arrived right on time. Brought their own bucket, cloths, even small stool. Attacked my greasy kitchen like ninjas. Windows were crystal! $135 felt worth it.
• NeatNest: Younger team, smelled faintly of lemons. Super gentle with stuff. Cleaned well, but missed some dust bunnies under my heavy sofa. $145 felt a bit steep for "pretty good".

My Personal Ranking

Based on MY grime and MY wallet:

1. PureClean Singapore: Reliable, super thorough. Felt safe leaving them alone. Paying extra for peace of mind.
2. NeatNest Experts: Nice people, eco-friendly is cool, but need to remind them about hidden corners.
3. FreshDwell Services: Cheerful, decent job, kinda middle of the road.
4. SparklingHomeSG: Okay cleaning, poor phone service broke the deal.
5. ShinyHabits Cleaning: Too hard to reach. Cheap price, but feels risky.

There’s no magic "best". PureClean wins for me because they scrubbed like their life depended on it. Next time you need help against dirt? Call around, read the real reviews (look for specifics!), and maybe test one out small first. Good luck!
