Part Time Maid Service in Singapore: Pricing, What’s Included & How to Book (2026 Guide)

Finding a reliable part time maid in Singapore used to mean hours of vetting strangers from classifieds. Today, platforms like Urban Company’s ad-hoc home cleaning service let you book a background-checked, trained professional in minutes — with a 4.80-star rating across over 410,000 sessions to back it up.

This guide covers everything: current 2026 pricing, exactly what tasks your cleaner will handle, how to book, and when a part time maid makes more sense than a full time helper.

What Is a Part Time Maid Service in Singapore?

A part time maid service in Singapore is a scheduled, hourly home cleaning session handled by a professional cleaner who visits your home on a one-off or recurring basis — with no live-in commitment, no MOM work permit requirements, and no long-term contract.

Unlike a full time foreign domestic worker (FDW), a part time maid through a platform like Urban Company is a locally registered professional. You pay per session, book via app or website, and can cancel or reschedule with 24 hours’ notice. It’s the most flexible way to keep your home clean in Singapore without the administrative overhead of sponsoring a domestic helper.

How Much Does a Part Time Maid Cost in Singapore? (2026 Rates)

Urban Company’s part time maid service in Singapore starts at S$74 for a 3-hour one-time session. Rates for 4-hour and 5-hour sessions are S$88 and S$150 respectively. A 4-visit multi-session pack starts at S$74 per visit and is valid for 4 months.

Session Type	Duration	Starting Price	Supplies Included
One-time clean	3 hours	S$74	✅ Yes
One-time clean	4 hours	S$88	✅ Yes
One-time clean	5 hours	S$150	✅ Yes
Multi-session pack (4 visits)	3 hours each	From S$74/visit	✅ Yes

All sessions come with professional-grade chemicals and disposables — you don’t need to buy or stock any cleaning supplies. If you need a vacuum cleaner or mop, Urban Company requests those be available on-site, but the cleaner brings everything else.

For Singaporeans who need consistent upkeep, Urban Company also offers a cleaning subscription service that auto-schedules sessions at a locked-in rate — ideal if you want weekly or fortnightly cleaning without rebooking each time.

What Does Urban Company’s Part Time Maid Service Cover?

Urban Company’s part time home cleaning service in Singapore covers six core task areas: full bathroom cleaning, floor mopping and disinfection, kitchen and trash clearance, dusting, bed linen changes, and sofa or carpet vacuuming.

Standard Cleaning Checklist

1. Full Bathroom Cleaning — WC scrubbed, shower areas sanitised, sink wiped, mirrors polished, floors mopped.
2. Floor Mopping & Disinfection — All rooms and balcony areas mopped with professional disinfectant solutions.
3. Kitchen & Trash Clearance — Countertops wiped, sink scrubbed, stovetop exterior cleaned, trash emptied.
4. Dusting — Complete home dusted including furniture surfaces, fans, shelves, and corners.
5. Bed Makeup & Linen Change — Beds made and linens changed (fresh linens to be provided by homeowner).

For deeper specialist work — such as post-renovation cleaning or full upholstery restoration — Urban Company Singapore also offers additional home services including aircon servicing, sofa deep cleaning, and more.

Part Time Maid vs Full Time Helper: Which Is Right for You?

A part time maid suits households that need 3–5 hours of cleaning per week or fortnight with no live-in arrangement. A full time foreign domestic worker (FDW) makes sense for households that require daily cooking, childcare, or eldercare on top of cleaning.

Factor	Part Time Maid (Urban Company)	Full Time FDW
Monthly cost	~S$296–S$352/month (weekly 4hr sessions)	S$800–S$1,200+ (salary + levy + insurance)
MOM permit required	No	Yes
Accommodation required	No	Yes
Flexibility	Book on demand, cancel anytime	Fixed contract (1–2 years)
Tasks covered	Cleaning only	Cleaning, cooking, childcare, errands
Insurance	Up to S$1,000 (included)	Separate FDW insurance required
