Understanding what affects the cost, and why no two homes are ever the same.
When searching for a professional decluttering and organising service in Singapore, one of the first questions people ask is: “How much does it cost?”
The honest answer is that it depends on much more than just the size of your home.
Unlike regular cleaning services, professional decluttering is not simply about moving items from one place to another. Every home tells a different story, and every project requires a different strategy.
At Total Cleanz, we’ve organised everything from a single bedroom to entire HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes and even commercial warehouses. No two projects have ever been identical.
Decluttering and organising services in Singapore typically start from $400 for a 1-bedroom home and scale up based on the volume of belongings, the level of sorting required, and how much storage planning is involved. A 3-bedroom HDB flat generally starts from $900, though the final quote depends on the actual condition of the space.
Typical Decluttering & Organising Prices in Singapore
Our indicative pricing starts from:
| Home Size | Indicative Price |
|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | From $400 |
| 2 Bedrooms | From $700 |
| 3 Bedrooms | From $900 |
| Living & Dining Area | From $900 |
| Kitchen & Yard Area | From $900 |
| Whole House Organisation | Complimentary professional site assessment required |
These prices are indicative and may vary depending on the amount of belongings, complexity of the project, disposal requirements and overall condition of the home. All prices are before GST.
Why Isn’t Decluttering Charged by the Hour?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
Unlike general cleaning, decluttering involves decision-making rather than just physical work.
For example, our team may spend time:
- sorting family photographs
- identifying important legal documents
- separating sentimental keepsakes
- organising collections
- discussing storage preferences with the homeowner
- planning a new room layout
- coordinating donation and disposal
Sometimes organising a single drawer takes longer than cleaning an entire room because every item has to be reviewed carefully.
The value lies in the planning, not just the time spent.
What Determines the Price?
1. Amount of Belongings
A three-room HDB can sometimes be completed within a day.
Another three-room HDB may require several days because every room is filled with belongings accumulated over decades.
The floor area remains the same, but the workload is completely different.
2. Level of Sorting Required
Some customers already know exactly what they wish to keep.
Others need guidance to decide whether items should be:
- kept
- donated
- recycled
- disposed of
The more decision-making involved, the more time and care the project requires.
3. Emotional Circumstances
Many projects involve significant life events, such as:
- moving into a smaller home
- returning a flat to HDB
- helping elderly parents downsize
- preparing a home after hospitalisation
- sorting through belongings after a loved one has passed away
These situations require patience, empathy and respect, not rushing through the job.
4. Heavy Furniture and Disposal
Professional decluttering often includes:
- dismantling furniture
- carrying bulky items
- packing donations
- arranging disposal
- transporting items within the home
The amount of manpower required affects the overall quotation.
5. Storage Planning
Our goal is not simply to create empty space. We design storage systems that suit your daily routine.
For example, we may organise:
- clothing by frequency of use
- hobby materials together
- children’s items within easy reach
- important documents separately
- sentimental belongings safely stored
- pet supplies in dedicated storage areas
A well-organised home should remain practical long after the project is completed.
Why We Usually Recommend a Site Assessment
Photographs are helpful, but they rarely show the full picture.
For example, we’ve visited homes where:
- Platform beds contained hundreds of hidden items
- Wardrobes appeared tidy but were completely full
- Storage rooms were packed to the ceiling
- Cupboards contained boxes within boxes
- Collections require specialist organisation
A complimentary site assessment allows us to understand the scope properly before recommending the most suitable team size and duration.
Is Professional Decluttering Worth It?
Many homeowners initially consider doing everything themselves. However, they often discover that the biggest challenge isn’t the physical work, it’s deciding what to do with everything.
A professional organiser provides:
- an objective perspective
- an organised system
- efficient teamwork
- donation coordination
- disposal planning
- practical storage solutions
- emotional support during difficult decisions
For many families, what might take several weekends can often be completed professionally within one or two days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum charge for a decluttering session?
Yes. Our indicative pricing starts from $400 for a 1-bedroom home, which serves as the minimum for a standalone booking. Smaller jobs, such as a single wardrobe or drawer, are usually quoted as part of a larger session rather than booked separately.
Do prices increase for hoarder-level clutter or estate clearance jobs?
Yes. Homes with a high volume of belongings, extensive sorting decisions, or estate clearance needs require more manpower and time, which raises the quotation above our standard tiers. We recommend a complimentary site assessment for these cases so the quote reflects the actual scope.
Are prices before or after GST?
All prices shown are before GST.
Are donation drop-off or disposal fees charged separately?
Standard donation coordination and disposal arranging is factored into your quotation. Large-scale bulky item removal or specialised disposal will incur an additional charge, which we’ll confirm during the site assessment before any work begins.
Can I get a fixed quote, or is pricing always an estimate?
We provide a firm quotation after a complimentary site assessment. Pricing without an assessment is indicative only, since the volume of belongings and level of sorting required can vary significantly between homes of the same size.
