  • How Much Should You Pay a Cleaner in Singapore?

    Key Takeaways

    • Published Singapore rates in September 2026 ran roughly S$17–S$30 per hour for part-time home cleaning, with recurring bookings at the lower end.
    • Frequency is the biggest lever you control. Committing to weekly or fortnightly cleaning lowers the hourly rate almost everywhere.
    • Three hours is the usual minimum, and under-booking hours causes more disappointment than paying the wrong rate does.
    • Compare a realistic month, not the headline rate. Platform fees, weekend surcharges and minimum sessions routinely reorder a comparison.
    • Deep and occasion cleaning is a different product, priced per job rather than per hour, because it needs equipment rather than more time.

    “How much should I pay?” is really two questions wearing one coat. There is the market rate, which is easy to state. And there is whether a given quote is fair for your home, which is what people actually want to know.

    Here is both. Rates in this article were checked against publicly published Singapore cleaning price guides and live provider pages in September 2026, and this page was last checked on 9 September 2026.

    What Does a Cleaner Cost in Singapore Right Now?

    Roughly S$17 to S$30 an hour, depending on what you are buying. The spread is wide because the label “cleaner” covers several different arrangements.

    What you are bookingTypical published range, Sept 2026
    Recurring weekly or fortnightlyAround S$17–S$25/hr
    One-off or ad-hoc sessionAround S$22–S$30/hr
    Direct hire, freelanceAround S$18–S$25/hr
    Deep or occasion cleaningPriced per job, not per hour

    The pattern underneath is consistent: commitment lowers the rate. A provider who knows you are booked in every Tuesday for the next six months can price differently from one filling a single Saturday slot, and almost all of them do.

    For a working benchmark, Urban Company’s recurring cleaning starts at S$57 for a 3-hour session — S$19/hr — with the same trusted cleaner each time, and a Book by Hour option from S$17/hr.

    What Moves the Price Up or Down?

    Five things, roughly in order of how much they matter.

    1. Frequency. Weekly and fortnightly plans are cheaper per hour than one-offs, everywhere. If you know you want this regularly, say so at the point of booking rather than after three separate sessions.
    2. Session length. Longer sessions usually carry a lower effective hourly rate, and most providers set a three-hour minimum because shorter visits are uneconomic once travel is counted.
    3. Size and state of the home. A 3-room HDB flat and a four-bedroom condo are not the same job. Neither is a flat cleaned last week versus one cleaned last year — first visits often need extra hours.
    4. Routine or occasion. Regular upkeep is hourly work. Move-out, post-renovation and deep cleaning need machinery and a team, and are priced as jobs.
    5. What is included. Equipment, supplies, insurance and replacement cover are either in the rate or they are not, and that difference is worth several dollars an hour on its own.

    What Should You Actually Budget Per Month?

    Start from sessions, not from an hourly rate. A realistic monthly figure for routine cleaning is your session price times the number of sessions, plus anything the provider adds.

    • Fortnightly, 3 hours — around two sessions a month
    • Weekly, 3 hours — around four sessions a month, occasionally five
    • Twice weekly — around eight or nine sessions a month

    Then add the things that are easy to forget: booking or platform fees per session, weekend and public holiday surcharges, and any transport charge for your area. A rate that is two dollars cheaper an hour with a fee and a weekend surcharge frequently ends up costing more than the rate that looked higher.

    Why Do Quotes Vary So Much for the Same Flat?

    Because “clean my flat” is not a specification, and each provider is quoting a slightly different job.

    The most common sources of a confusing spread:

    • Different assumed scopes. One quote includes the balcony and the inside of the fridge; another does not. Neither is wrong, but they are not comparable.
    • Different session minimums. A four-hour minimum at a low hourly rate can bill more per visit than three hours at a higher one. Compare the price per visit, not the price per hour.
    • Introductory versus ongoing rates. A trial price is not a plan price. Ask what the second month costs.
    • Whether supplies are included. Providing your own vacuum and products is real money and real hassle, spread across every visit.

    The fix is to give every provider the same brief: home type, floor area, number of bathrooms, frequency, hours, and the specific tasks you care about. Quotes become comparable immediately.

    What About Deep Cleaning and Occasion Work?

    Different product, different pricing logic. These are not “more hours of regular cleaning” — they need high-temperature steam, industry-grade solutions and, for larger jobs, machinery and a team. Paying an hourly cleaner for four extra hours will not produce the same result.

    Published Urban Company prices for reference:

    ServicePrice
    Bathroom Deep Cleaningfrom S$65
    Kitchen Deep Cleaningfrom S$135
    Fridge Deep Cleaningfrom S$60
    One-time cleaning, 3 hrsfrom S$74
    Move In/Out Cleaningfrom S$350, 3-man team

    If your problem is limescale in one shower rather than a whole flat, the single-room option is the honest answer and the cheaper one.

    Is Paying Less Ever a Mistake?

    Not automatically — but a rate well below the market floor is information. Something is usually missing, and it is worth knowing which thing before you book:

    • Supplies and equipment, which you then buy and store
    • Insurance, so a damaged floor is settled directly between you and the cleaner
    • Replacement cover, so a sick day becomes your problem
    • Legal work status. A migrant domestic worker employed by another household is not permitted to take outside cleaning jobs, and the person hiring them can also be liable

    Any of the first three can be an acceptable trade if you know you are making it. The fourth is not a trade, and it is the one worth asking about directly when a rate looks unusually low.

    The Short Answer

    For routine home cleaning in Singapore, budget around S$18–S$25 an hour, book at least three hours, and commit to a frequency to get the better rate. Then compare a full month including fees rather than the number on the front of the advert, and check what happens the week your cleaner cannot come.

    Urban Company’s home cleaning in Singapore holds a 4.89 rating across 94,465 reviews and 657K bookings. Recurring cleaning starts at S$57 for 3 hours — S$19/hr — with the same trusted cleaner each time, weekly, bi-weekly or twice a week. Prices are fixed and shown before you book, there is no lock-in, and cancelling is free. See current home cleaning prices in Singapore.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much should I pay a part-time cleaner in Singapore?

    In September 2026, published rates for part-time home cleaning in Singapore ran roughly S$17 to S$30 per hour. Recurring weekly or fortnightly cleaning sits at the lower end, one-off sessions sit higher, and occasion work such as move-out or post-renovation cleaning is priced per job rather than per hour.

    What is a fair hourly rate for a cleaner in Singapore?

    For routine recurring cleaning, roughly S$18 to S$25 per hour is the range most households land in. Below that, check what is excluded and whether the person is legally able to do the work. Above it, you are usually paying for insurance, vetting, replacement cover or specialist equipment — which can be worth it.

    How many hours do I need to book?

    Three hours is the common minimum and suits most HDB flats on a recurring schedule. Larger homes, first visits and homes that have not had a thorough clean in a while need four or more. Under-booking hours is the most frequent reason people feel a clean was poor value.

    Why do cleaning quotes vary so much in Singapore?

    Five things move the price: how often you book, how long each session is, the size and state of the home, whether it is routine or occasion cleaning, and whether equipment and supplies are included. Recurring bookings are cheaper per hour than one-offs almost everywhere.

    Are there hidden costs when booking a cleaner?

    Often. Watch for platform or booking fees, weekend and public holiday surcharges, minimum session lengths, transport charges for certain areas, and cancellation fees. Compare the total for a realistic month rather than the advertised hourly rate.

    Is the lowest-priced cleaner worth it?

    Sometimes. A low rate from a legitimate, well-reviewed provider is a good deal. A rate well below the market floor usually means something is missing — supplies, insurance, replacement cover, or in some cases the legal right to do the work. Check which before you book.

    How much does a deep clean cost compared with regular cleaning?

    Considerably more, because it is a different job. Regular cleaning is priced by the hour; deep and occasion cleaning is usually priced per job because it needs equipment and a team. Urban Company’s Bathroom Deep Cleaning starts from S$65 and Move In/Out Cleaning from S$350 with a 3-man team.

  • What Would You Do With a Free Saturday?

    You work hard all week. Your Saturday shouldn’t be spent scrubbing the bathroom. Here’s what a weekly home cleaning session actually costs — and what you get back

    You know that feeling on a Friday evening when you clock off, finally exhale, and think: tomorrow is mine.

    Then Saturday morning arrives. You look around. The kitchen needs wiping down. The bathrooms aren’t going to clean themselves. There’s a layer of something on the fan blades you’ve been ignoring for two weeks. By the time you’re done, it’s 1pm. The best part of the day is gone. And somehow, you’re more tired than you were on Friday.

    This is the weekend a lot of Singaporeans are quietly living.

    The Saturday Tax

    Most dual-income households spend somewhere between 2 and 4 hours cleaning on weekends. That’s not a guess — it’s just the math of running a home when both partners are working full-time and nobody has time during the week.

    That 3 hours on Saturday isn’t neutral. It costs you the slow morning. The walk to the hawker centre without a deadline. The afternoon nap. The thing you kept saying you’d do “on the weekend” — the book, the run, the time with the kids that doesn’t involve rushing anywhere.

    It’s not that cleaning is the worst thing in the world. It’s that it reliably consumes the time you have the least of.

    What It Actually Costs to Get That Time Back

    A weekly 3-hour home cleaning session with Urban Company costs $57.

    That’s the Routine rate — the same trained, vetted cleaning professional, every week, who arrives fully equipped with everything needed to clean your home. No briefing. No providing supplies. No explaining where the toilet brush is for the fourth time.

    For context: $57 is roughly what most households spend on a family dinner out. It’s less than a tank of petrol. It’s a number that looks different when you put it next to 3 hours of your Saturday.

    If weekly feels like a lot, a fortnightly session runs $68 for 3 hours. Or you can start with a single Adhoc booking at $74 — no commitment, just one Saturday back.

    The Same Person, Every Week

    One thing that makes a real difference: with a Routine booking, you get the same cleaning professional assigned to your home every session.

    This matters more than it sounds. After a few visits, they know your home. They know the corner behind the sofa, the bathroom that needs more attention, the floors you care about most. You stop spending the first 20 minutes of every visit explaining things. It starts to feel less like a service and more like something that just works.

    What Happens to the Saturday

    This is the part worth thinking about.

    If you had a free Saturday morning — genuinely free, not “I’ll just quickly do the bathroom first” — what would you do with it?

    Families with young kids usually say the same thing: time with the kids that isn’t logistical. Not ferrying them to enrichment, not supervising homework. Just time. A walk to the park. Breakfast that lasts longer than 15 minutes.

    For couples without kids, it’s often simpler: sleep in. Go somewhere for brunch. Do the thing you’ve been putting off for six weekends in a row.

    It sounds small. It doesn’t feel small when you have it.

    Not Sure Where to Start?

    If a weekly commitment feels like a big step, it doesn’t have to be. Options:

    • Adhoc booking — one session, no contract, from $52 for 2 hours or $74 for 3 hours
    • 4-Visit Pack — pay upfront, redeem at your own pace, from $188 for 2-hour sessions
    • Routine — weekly or fortnightly, same professional every time, from $38

    All cleaning professionals are trained, background-checked, and arrive fully equipped. You don’t need to provide anything.

    How much does a weekly home cleaning session cost in Singapore?

    A weekly Routine session with Urban Company starts from $38 for 2 hours, $57 for 3 hours, or $69 for 4 hours. The rate is per session and applies when you book a recurring weekly schedule.

    Do I need to provide cleaning supplies or equipment?

    No. Urban Company cleaning professionals arrive fully equipped with all tools and cleaning solutions. You don’t need to prepare anything before they arrive.

    Can I get the same cleaner every time?

    Yes. With a Routine booking (weekly or fortnightly), the same cleaning professional is assigned to your home for every session. They learn your home and your preferences over time — no rebriefing needed.

    What’s the difference between a Routine and an Adhoc booking?

    A Routine is a recurring booking — weekly, twice a week, or fortnightly — at a lower per-session rate with the same professional each time. An Adhoc is a one-off session, useful if you want to try the service before committing or if your schedule is irregular

    What if I want flexibility — not a fixed weekly schedule?

    The 4-Visit Cleaning Pack lets you pay upfront for 4 sessions and redeem them whenever suits you.

    How do I know the cleaning professional is trustworthy?

    All Urban Company cleaning professionals are trained, background-checked, and rated by customers after every session. You can see their ratings and reviews in the app before booking.

  • Weekly Cleaner vs Fortnightly: Which Routine Actually Works for Your Home?

    Start with the honest question: how dirty does your home get?

    You’ve decided to get a regular home cleaner. Good decision. The harder question is how often — and if you get it wrong, you’ll either feel like it was a waste of money, or you’ll spend your weekends making up the difference yourself.

    Here’s a straightforward way to think through it.

    This sounds obvious, but most people skip it. The right cleaning frequency isn’t about flat size alone — it’s about how fast your home accumulates mess between sessions.

    A few things that push the frequency up:

    Kids under 12. If you have young children at home, the floor-to-surface mess ratio is in a different league. Crumbs migrate. Sticky handprints appear on walls that were clean an hour ago. A fortnightly session often just isn’t enough to reset the house properly.

    Pets. Hair, dander, and the particular chaos that comes with animals sharing your living room. Weekly is almost always the right call.

    Both partners working full time. When nobody is home during the day, the house stays cleaner on weekdays — but weekends tend to make up for it fast. How much cooking, hosting, and general activity happens over your weekend tells you a lot.

    A 4- or 5-room HDB, or a larger condo. More floor space means more to cover. A 2-hour session in a 5-room flat is triage. A 3- or 4-hour session gives your cleaner time to do it properly.

    If 3 or more of these apply to your household, weekly is probably the right starting point.

    What actually gets done in 2, 3, and 4 hours

    This is where most people underestimate the difference. An extra hour isn’t just “a bit more cleaning” — it changes what’s possible.

    2 hours covers the essentials: vacuuming and mopping the main living areas, wiping down kitchen surfaces, cleaning the bathrooms, and taking out rubbish. In a 3-room flat or a 1-bedroom condo, this is a solid reset. In a 4- or 5-room HDB, it’s enough for the high-traffic zones but the bedrooms will get lighter attention.

    3 hours adds proper bedroom cleaning — beds changed if needed, surfaces wiped, wardrobes tidied. The kitchen gets a more thorough going-over. In a 4-room HDB with kids, this is the session length that actually feels complete.

    4 hours covers all of the above, plus the things that usually get skipped: ceiling fan blades, window sills, inside the microwave, behind the toilet, the accumulated clutter that builds up in corners. For a 5-room flat or a larger condo, this is where you stop making compromises.

    The case for weekly

    A weekly routine changes the maintenance dynamic in one important way: your cleaner never has to catch up.

    When sessions are a week apart, the house hasn’t reached a tipping point. Surfaces are wiped before they get grimy. Floors are mopped before the dust layer builds up. The cleaner can spend their time cleaning, not degreasing.

    For families with young kids, this is the difference between a session that actually helps and one that barely keeps pace. It’s also easier on you during the week — a cleaner home on Monday morning is a genuinely different way to start the week.

    With Urban Company’s routine bookings, a weekly 3-hour session works out to $57/session. A weekly 4-hour session is $69/session. Your cleaning professional arrives fully equipped with all tools and supplies — you don’t need to provide anything.

    The case for fortnightly

    Fortnightly works well for smaller homes, single-person or two-person households, and situations where the home genuinely doesn’t accumulate mess that fast.

    A single professional in a 1-bedroom condo in Tiong Bahru or a studio near Novena, for example, probably doesn’t need a weekly clean. A fortnightly 2- or 3-hour session keeps the home in good shape without overcommitting.

    It also works as a starting point. If you’ve never had a regular cleaner before, fortnightly is a lower-commitment way to see how it changes your week before moving to weekly.

    A fortnightly 3-hour routine with Urban Company is $66/session. A 4-hour session every 2 weeks is $79.

    One thing that makes a real difference: same cleaner, every session

    Frequency matters, but consistency matters just as much.

    When you get a different cleaner each time, you spend the first 15 minutes of every session re-explaining where things are, what to focus on, how you like things done. It adds friction — and things still get missed because the cleaner doesn’t know your home yet.

    With Urban Company’s routine bookings, the same cleaning professional is assigned to your home every session. Over time, they learn your preferences without being told. They know which corners need extra attention, how you like the cushions arranged, where the spare bin bags are kept. You stop briefing and start just arriving home to a clean house.

    This is especially noticeable for families — the cleaner becomes a familiar, trusted presence rather than a stranger with a mop.

    If your schedule is irregular: the 4-visit pack

    Not everyone can commit to a fixed weekly or fortnightly day. If your schedule moves around — travel, shift work, school holidays that disrupt routines — the 4-visit cleaning pack gives you flexibility without losing value.

    You pay upfront for 4 sessions and redeem them whenever you need them. A 4-visit pack for 3-hour sessions is $272. For 4-hour sessions, it’s $324.

    It’s a practical middle ground for households that know they need professional cleaning, just not on a fixed schedule.

    A simple way to decide

    If your home has kids or pets, or if you’re in a 4-room flat or larger: start with weekly, 3 or 4 hours.

    If you’re in a smaller home, living alone or with a partner, and the place stays relatively tidy between cleans: fortnightly, 2 or 3 hours is probably right.

    If your schedule is unpredictable: the 4-visit pack gives you the flexibility to use sessions when you actually need them.

    The best routine is one you’ll actually keep. Booking too infrequently means your cleaner spends half the session catching up — and you spend the other half of the month living in a home that’s not quite right.

    Book your cleaning routine

    Urban Company’s cleaning professionals are fully trained, vetted, and arrive with everything they need. Routine bookings from $38/session, with the same cleaner assigned every time.

    👉 Book a home cleaning routine

    How often should I get my home professionally cleaned in Singapore?

    For most families in a 4- or 5-room HDB with young children, a weekly session of 3–4 hours is the most practical frequency. For smaller homes or households of 1–2 people without children, a fortnightly session of 2–3 hours usually keeps the home in good shape. The right frequency depends on home size, number of occupants, and how quickly mess accumulates between sessions.

    What’s the difference between a 2-hour and 4-hour cleaning session?

    A 2-hour session covers the essentials — vacuuming, mopping, bathroom cleaning, and kitchen surface wipe-down. A 4-hour session covers all of that plus bedrooms, inside appliances, window sills, ceiling fans, and the areas that typically get skipped in a shorter clean. For larger homes, the extra time makes a visible difference.

    Is weekly or fortnightly cleaning better value for money?

    Weekly cleaning tends to be better value in practice for homes with children or pets, because the cleaner never has to spend time catching up on a backlog. Fortnightly cleaning can feel less thorough in high-traffic homes, because more has accumulated between sessions. For smaller, lower-traffic homes, fortnightly is genuinely sufficient.

    Do I need to provide cleaning supplies or equipment?

    No. Urban Company’s cleaning professionals arrive fully equipped with their own tools and cleaning solutions. You don’t need to prepare or provide anything before the session.

    Will I get the same cleaner every time?

    Yes, for routine bookings. Urban Company assigns the same cleaning professional to your home each session. Over time, they learn your preferences and how your home is laid out — so you don’t have to re-explain things each visit.

    What if I can’t commit to a fixed weekly or fortnightly schedule?

    The 4-visit cleaning pack is designed for exactly this situation. You pay upfront for 4 sessions and redeem them whenever works for you. It’s available in 2-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour durations, starting from $180 for a 4-visit, 2-hour pack.

    How much does a regular home cleaner cost in Singapore?

    With Urban Company, routine cleaning sessions start from $38/session for a 2-hour weekly booking, up to $79/session for a 4-hour fortnightly booking. Adhoc sessions (one-off cleans) start from $51 for 2 hours. All sessions include a trained, vetted professional who brings their own supplies.

  • Ironing Service Singapore — Professional Ironing at Home From $42

    The ironing pile is one of those household tasks that’s never urgent enough to do immediately but always inconvenient when you finally get around to it. The clothes are clean, they’re dry, and now there’s an hour of work standing between you and actually wearing them.

    For most Singapore households, ironing sits at the bottom of the chore list — not because it’s hard, but because it’s relentless. It comes back every week without fail, it eats into weekends, and the results from a home iron are rarely as good as they should be.

    Urban Company’s ironing service launched in Singapore in March 2026. A trained professional arrives at your home with a 3000W steam iron, works through your pile, folds everything, and hands it back crease-free. You just need to provide an ironing board.

    Why Home Ironing Takes Longer Than It Should

    Your Iron Isn’t Powerful Enough

    Most consumer irons sold in Singapore run at 1200W to 1800W. They take time to heat up, lose temperature between items, and struggle with thicker fabrics without multiple passes. A professional 3000W steam iron heats instantly, maintains consistent high temperature throughout, and works through clothes significantly faster. The physics are straightforward — more power means more steam, faster results, and better crease removal in a single pass.

    The Results Are Inconsistent

    Getting a truly sharp result from a home iron requires knowing the right temperature for each fabric, the right pressure, and the right sequence. Most people learn through trial and error — which means occasional shine marks on dark trousers, slightly off collars, or shirts that look acceptable but not crisp. A professional who irons daily gets consistent results on every item.

    It Competes With Everything Else on Your Weekend

    In Singapore, where most households have both partners working full-time, the weekend is already compressed. Groceries, family time, kids’ activities, meal prep — ironing competes with all of it. Two hours of ironing on a Sunday evening is two hours that doesn’t come back.

    How Urban Company’s Ironing Service Works

    What the Professional Brings

    The technician arrives with a professional 3000W steam iron — the same grade used by tailors and professional laundries. It delivers consistent high-pressure steam that removes creases in a single pass and handles all standard fabric types safely.

    You provide the ironing board. Everything else is handled.

    What’s Covered

    • Shirts and blouses
    • Trousers and skirts
    • Dresses
    • School uniforms
    • Formal and office wear
    • Casual wear — T-shirts, polos, shorts
    • Folding and neat handover of all items

    What Isn’t Covered

    Bedsheets, curtains, and delicate garments requiring specialist handling — heavily embellished pieces, beaded fabric, or items with specific care requirements — are outside scope. If you’re unsure about a specific item, flag it when booking.

    Zero Creases, Zero Burns — Guaranteed

    Urban Company guarantees crease-free results with no burns or damage to your clothes. If something isn’t right, UC will make it right.

    The multi-session packs are the best value for households with a consistent weekly or fortnightly ironing load. The 8-session pack at $288 for 1.5-hour sessions works out to $36 per session — and you redeem them at your own pace, with no fixed schedule required.

    UC Ironing Service vs Sending Clothes Out for Pressing

    If you’ve been sending clothes to a dry cleaner specifically for pressing — not washing, just ironing — the at-home model is worth comparing directly.

    UC Ironing ServiceDry Cleaner (pressing only)
    PriceFrom $42 for 1.5 hours$3–$5 per item
    Where it happensAt your homeDrop off and collect
    TurnaroundSame sessionUsually next day or later
    ConvenienceNo travel, no baggingRequires a trip each way
    Best forRegular household ironing loadsSpecialist garments needing pressing after dry cleaning

    For regular weekly ironing — work shirts, school uniforms, everyday clothes — the at-home service is faster, more convenient, and typically cheaper once you’re ironing more than 8 to 10 items per session.

    Dry cleaners remain the right choice when garments need washing and pressing together, or when specialist fabric care is required. The two services aren’t in direct competition — they serve different needs.

    Note: UC’s ironing service is pressing only. It does not include washing or dry cleaning.

    Who Is This Service For?

    Dual-Income Households

    Both partners working means the weekend is already full. Removing ironing from the list entirely — not delegating it to later in the week, removing it — is a straightforward use of the service.

    Families With School-Age Kids

    School uniforms need to be ironed every single week. For families with 2 or 3 kids in school, that’s a significant weekly load on top of adult work clothes. A fortnightly session handles all of it.

    Professionals With a Heavy Work Wardrobe

    If your job puts you in formal or business casual attire five days a week, your ironing load is higher than most and the stakes are higher too. A poorly ironed shirt is noticeable in a client meeting in a way that a slightly unironed T-shirt is not.

    Hari Raya, CNY, and Deepavali Prep

    Baju kurung, baju melayu, cheongsam, and other festive wear need careful pressing before major occasions. A professional handles delicate fabrics at the correct temperature — the kind of item where a home iron set slightly too hot causes irreversible damage. Book a session in the week before the occasion rather than scrambling the night before.

    Households Already Using a Part-Time Cleaner

    If you already book a UC part-time cleaner, adding an ironing session on a separate day gives you a fully managed home without either service feeling overloaded. Cleaning and ironing are handled by different professionals, on a schedule that works for your household.

    How to Book

    Book online in a few minutes. Choose your session duration, pick a date and time, and a trained professional will arrive with everything needed. You don’t need to be present for the entire session — the professional works through the pile independently.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Urban Company’s ironing service in Singapore?

    A trained professional arrives at your home with a 3000W steam iron and works through your ironing pile — shirts, trousers, school uniforms, dresses, and more. Everything is folded and handed back crease-free. You provide the ironing board. Sessions from $42 for 1.5 hours.

    How is this different from sending clothes to a dry cleaner for ironing?

    The professional comes to you — no bagging, no travel, no waiting for next-day collection. The service is pressing only and does not include washing or dry cleaning. For regular household ironing loads, it’s more convenient and typically cheaper than per-item dry cleaner pricing.

    What fabrics can be ironed?

    All standard fabrics — cotton, polyester, linen, blends, school uniforms, formal wear, casual wear. Heavily embellished or beaded garments, and items requiring specialist handling, are outside scope.

    How many items can be ironed in a session?

    It depends on the items — shirts take longer than T-shirts, structured garments longer than casual wear. A 1.5-hour session typically covers a full week’s load for a household of 3 to 4. A 2-hour session is better for larger families or if there’s a backlog to clear.

    Do I need to be home during the session?

    You need to let the professional in at the start and be present at handover. You don’t need to supervise throughout — the professional works independently.

    Is ironing available as a recurring booking?

    Not as a fixed weekly routine in the same way as cleaning sessions, but multi-session packs let you prepay and redeem at your own pace. The 4-session and 8-session packs are the most cost-effective option for regular ironing needs.

    What if something gets damaged?

    Urban Company guarantees zero creases and zero burns. If anything is damaged, UC will make it right.
