The Ultimate Year-End Cleaning Guide for Singapore Homes (2025 Edition)

Somehow, December always sneaks up on us. One minute you’re still adjusting to 2025, next thing you know — Christmas lights are up, and you’re wondering where the year went.

If your home’s been through the daily aircon marathons, nights of ordering food delivery in, and “I’ll clean next week” promises, now’s the perfect time for a proper reset before the start of a new year.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting your home back in shape before 2026 is here.

1. Start With the Spaces You Actually Live In

Don’t waste your first burst of motivation on the storeroom or guest rooms. Start from rooms that you actually spend more time in — the living room, kitchen and bedrooms.

Vacuum under the sofa, wipe ceiling fans and declutter your shelves. If you haven’t touched some items all year, it’s time to let them go.

Pro tip:
Focus on one space per day. You’ll see progress without burning out halfway through.

2. Curtains: The One Thing Everyone Forgets

Curtains are like the quiet overachievers of dust collection. You rarely notice them, but they are there trapping everything — dust, odours, pet fur, and even kitchen smoke if your windows are open.

If it’s been more than a year since your last curtain wash, you’re probably been breathing in lots of pollutants. Many Singapore homeowners are shocked by how much fresher their homes feel after cleaning their curtains properly.

That’s where Cleanclean comes in. Instead of wrestling with bulky curtains and dripping water all over your bathroom floor, our team takes care of everything — from removal to deep cleaning and reinstallation.

Just book a slot, and your curtains come back fresh, sanitised, and ready for the new year.

3. Deal With the Kitchen Grease Monster

If you cook often, you already know — Singapore’s humidity + oil = a sticky disaster.
The thin film on your cabinets, hood, and backsplash is your silent reminder that you’ve been putting this off.

Spray on a degreaser, soak the hood filters, and clean out your fridge.
Be ruthless — expired sauces and half-empty bottles from last year? Time to go.

4. The Forgotten Corners You’ll Regret Skipping

Even the cleanest homes have hidden spots we overlook. Add these to your checklist:

• Aircon filters (they affect both air quality and electricity use)
• Behind the TV console
• Window tracks and door frames
• Bed frames and under-bed areas
• Bathroom grout and corners

A quick vacuum or wipe-down goes a long way.

5. Outsource the Heavy-Duty Jobs

You don’t have to do it all alone. Deep cleaning certain things — curtains, sofas, or mattresses — can be a nightmare without the right tools.

Instead of spending your weekend struggling with laundry poles, let professionals handle it. Cleanclean cleaning service is especially popular this time of year — fast turnaround, hotel-level freshness, and zero hassle.

Just book early, because December slots tend to disappear faster than concert tickets.

6. Add the Final Touches

Once you’ve conquered the dust and clutter, bring back the cosy vibes. Change your bedsheets, wipe glass surfaces till they sparkle, and add a light home scent.

Even something as simple as clean curtains swaying in the breeze can make your space feel instantly renewed.

Closing Thoughts

Year-end cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore — it’s your way of closing one chapter and starting the next on a fresh, clean slate.

Take it one step at a time, and if your curtains haven’t seen daylight since last year, leave them to Cleanclean. We’ll make sure your home looks, feels, and smells brand new — just in time to welcome 2026.
