How much should deep cleaning cost in Dhaka?

There is no single honest number, which is why reputable companies quote after understanding the property rather than publishing a rate card. Floor area, condition, materials, scope and access all move the price substantially. What you should insist on is a written quotation you can compare on scope.

How long does deep cleaning take?

Six to ten working hours for a standard three-bedroom flat with a team of four to eight. Larger or heavily soiled properties take longer. Any quote promising a full deep clean in a couple of hours is describing general cleaning.

How to Choose the Best Deep Cleaning Service in Dhaka

Six questions that separate a professional deep cleaning company from a group of day labourers with buckets — and exactly what a real deep clean should include.

Deep cleaning is the most misunderstood service in the Dhaka market. Many customers pay deep-cleaning prices for what is really a thorough general clean, then conclude that deep cleaning is not worth the money. The problem is almost never effort — it is scope.

What a real deep clean actually includes

A genuine deep clean is defined by what gets dismantled, not by how many hours are spent wiping. Ceiling fans taken down and washed. Kitchen chimney filters removed and soaked in a degreasing bath. Bathroom grout acid-treated and mechanically scrubbed rather than wiped. Window channels and grills cleared, not just the glass. Furniture moved to reach the floor beneath. Switchboards, cornices, door tops and skirting boards covered as standard.

If a company cannot tell you which of these are included before you book, you are buying an unknown.

Six questions to ask before you book

Can I see the written scope? A professional company has a checklist. Ask for it in writing before you agree a price, and compare companies on scope rather than on the headline number.
What machines will you bring? Deep cleaning without an extraction machine, a scrubber and steam is just wiping. Ask specifically which machines are coming.
Are your cleaners employees or hired for the day? Day labour cannot be trained, verified or held accountable, and will not be the same person next month.
Who supervises the job? There should be a named supervisor who inspects against the checklist before the team leaves.
What chemicals will you use on my marble? The acid that is safe on ceramic tile permanently etches marble. A company that cannot answer this should not be near your floor.
What happens if I am not satisfied? The answer should be a free re-clean within a stated window, not a discussion.

Why price-first shopping usually fails

The cheapest quotation in Dhaka is normally cheap for one of three reasons: the scope is smaller, the team is smaller, or the equipment does not exist. When the job disappoints, the second attempt costs more than doing it properly the first time would have. Be especially wary of any company that quotes a firm price without asking a single question about your property — they are either guessing or planning to revise the number once the team is inside.

How long should it take?

A standard three-bedroom Dhaka flat needs roughly six to ten working hours with a team of four to eight people. If someone offers to deep clean it in three hours with two people, they are describing a different service. Ask for the team size and the expected window in writing.

Red flags worth walking away from

No written scope, only a verbal promise of "full cleaning"
Full payment demanded in advance for a first-time job
No company identification, uniform or supervisor
Unwillingness to name the chemicals used on stone or wood
A price that drops dramatically the moment you hesitate

A final word on timing

Demand spikes in the two weeks before both Eids and through the winter wedding season. Book at least a week ahead in those periods, and be suspicious of any company that suddenly has unlimited availability when everyone else is fully booked.
