Category: Part-time Cleaners

Robot vacuum cleaners have become a popular addition to many homes here in Singapore. They offer convenience, efficiency, and a touch of futuristic tech to your daily routine. With just the tap of a button, these devices will get to cleaning while you go about your day.

But here’s the thing—while robot vacuums are great for light maintenance, they’re not a replacement for regular home cleaning. If you want a truly clean and healthy home, robot vacuum cleaners should complement—not replace—part-time cleaner services. Let’s explore why.

What Robot Vacuum Cleaners Do Well

Robot vacuums are undeniably convenient and can help keep your home tidy between deeper cleans. Here are some of the things they’re great at:

1. Daily Dust and Dirt Pickup
   Perfect for picking up everyday dirt, pet hair, and dust, especially on hard floors.
2. Scheduled Cleaning
   Most models allow you to set schedules, so your floors stay tidy even when you’re not home.
3. Hard-to-reach areas
   They’re built for cleaning under beds and sofas —places that are harder to reach with a traditional vacuum.

Why You Still Need Part-time Cleaners

While robot vacuums are a helpful tool, they have serious limitations that make professional home cleaning essential.

1. They Don’t Deep Clean
   Robot vacuums only remove surface-level dirt. They can’t scrub, disinfect, or tackle stubborn grime on carpets, upholstery, or tiles.
2. They Can’t Clean Bathrooms
   Robot vacuums aren’t built for wet areas like bathrooms. They can’t scrub sinks, toilets, showers, or tiles where mold and soap scum often build up. Bathrooms need manual cleaning for hygiene and safety.
3. They Miss Higher Surfaces
   Shelves, counter-tops, cabinets, and ceiling corners are out of reach for a robot. Dust and cobwebs quickly collect in these areas without regular cleaning.
4. Stubborn Stains and Spills
   Sticky kitchen spills, bathroom grime, or greasy stove tops aren’t something a robot vacuum can handle. Professional cleaners make sure these problem areas are addressed properly.
5. Pet Hair and Allergens
   Even pet-friendly robot vacuums often leave traces behind. Part-time cleaners make sure allergens are removed to maintain healthy indoor air quality.

The Best Combination: Robot Vacuums + Part-time Cleaners

The smartest way to maintain a spotless home is to use a robot vacuum for daily upkeep. Additionally, you can schedule a part-time cleaner for the rest.

What Part-time Cleaners can do:

• Deep Floor Cleaning: Mopping, scrubbing, and vacuuming thoroughly.
• Bathroom Cleaning: Toilets, sinks, showers, mirrors, and tiles scrubbed and sanitized.
• Kitchen Cleaning: Counter-tops, cabinets, and appliance degreasing.
• Dusting & High Surfaces: Shelves, windowsills, and other elevated areas dusted.
• Upholstery & Pet Areas: Pet hair removal and furniture cleaning.

How Often Should You Schedule Professional Cleaning?

Every 1–2 weeks is ideal, depending on your household size and lifestyle. Homes with pets, children, or frequent guests will need more regular sessions.

Conclusion: Robot Vacuums Are Helpful, But Not Enough
