Post-renovation cleaning deals with the mess a normal weekly cleaner won't touch: cement dust coating every surface, paint splatter on tiles, silicone smears on glass, sawdust packed into aircond vents and skirting boards, and leftover debris from contractors. Deep cleaning covers the same intensity but for homes or units that haven't had a proper clean in months, or that need a full reset before a move-in, move-out, or festive season. In Petaling Jaya, this category brings together 48 businesses that handle both, from small condo units in Kelana Jaya and Damansara Perdana to landed houses in SS2, Bandar Utama, and Section 17.
What the job usually involves
A proper post-reno job works room by room: dust removal from walls, ceilings, and light fittings, wet-wiping of window frames and grilles, degreasing kitchen surfaces, scrubbing bathroom tiles and grout, vacuuming and mopping every floor type (marble, tile, laminate, parquet), and clearing construction debris and adhesive residue from glass and skylights. Deep cleaning for occupied homes adds things like inside-cabinet wiping, mattress and upholstery vacuuming, and appliance exteriors. Most teams in PJ send two to four workers and finish a standard unit in four to eight hours depending on size and how bad the dust load is.
What to check before you book
Ask whether the quote covers a fixed scope (rooms, floors, glass) or is priced hourly, since post-reno jobs can run long if the site is dusty. Confirm they bring their own equipment (wet-dry vacuums, extension poles for high windows, proper degreasers) rather than expecting you to supply cleaning products. Check if disposal of leftover debris and packaging is included, and whether they cover exterior windows or high ceilings, which some teams skip without extra charge. For move-in or move-out jobs, ask if they do a final walkthrough with you before payment.
