Understand the cost of cleaning in Taipei and New Taipei in 2025 at once, don’t be randomly quoted again
Many people think that cleaning is just "asking the aunt to come and wipe it", but in fact there are many types of cleaning services, and the prices vary greatly. Based on information from the Ministry of Labor and public market prices on major platforms, here we will help you sort out the cleaning costs in Taipei and New Taipei in 2025, so that you can spend your money clearly.
What are the differences between the three types of cleaning services?
| Service type | Fee range (10-20 pings) | Inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| General cleaning | $1,500 – $2,500 | Basic cleaning of floor, kitchen, toilet, living room |
| Deep cleaning | $3,500 – $6,000 | Including oven, range hood, window frame, floor waxing |
| Cleaning before and after moving | $4,000 – $8,000 | Comprehensive cleaning, including kitchen grease and bathroom scale |
| Office cleaning | $3,000 – $8,000 | Depending on the number of square meters and project quotation |
Note: The above is a reasonable market price in Taipei and New Taipei. High-end areas such as Xinyi and Daan may be 10-20% more expensive, while peripheral areas such as Tamsui, Shulin, and Three Gorges may be cheaper.
Three key points when choosing a cleaning service, many people ignore it
- Have you used environmentally friendly cleaners: This is very important if there are children or pets at home. Some cheap cleaners use strong acids and alkalis, which are not good for the floor and health.
- Should you bring your own tools or do you need to provide them? : Basic tools such as vacuum cleaners and mops should be made clear who has prepared them, so as not to find out when they arrive on site that they are not available.
- Is there any warranty or after-sales service?: Choose a professional cleaning team that provides acceptance and satisfaction guarantees. If the cleaning is not clean, you can report for reinforcements within a time period, which is more secure.
How to choose between Xinyi, Tamsui and Shulin districts?
Xinyi District: There are many homes and offices. It is recommended to choose a team with experience in office cleaning, because their efficiency and standards are usually higher.
It is recommended that when making an appointment for cleaning services, you first list the key areas that need to be cleaned (such as heavy grease in the kitchen, old scale in the bathroom, and sediment in window grooves), and provide the manufacturer with the exact number of square feet and photos of the current condition. A clear itemized estimate and list of cleaning scopes are required to avoid disputes over price increases after arriving on site.
One final reminder: Don’t choose “hourly” cleaning services because you never know how long it will take. If you choose "based on the number of square meters or per case", the price is more controllable.
Modern safe kitchen water and electricity configuration and indoor ventilation protection specifications
Modern residential kitchens are moving from traditional open gas fires to modern spaces that are fully electrified (IH induction cookers, built-in ovens, dishwashers) and efficient smoke exhaust. According to the Ministry of Environment's indoor air quality management guidelines and building technical rules and regulations, kitchen fume contains a variety of suspended particles and volatile organic compounds. If the exhaust efficiency is poor, long-term retention indoors will significantly harm respiratory health. In addition to using 6-inch flame-retardant composite air ducts for the building's residential exhaust ducts, the wall holes must be reliably sealed with fireproof mortar to prevent positive pressure oil smoke and odors from the public exhaust ducts from flowing back into the room.
In terms of kitchen water and electricity configuration, the water inlet angle valve of the dishwasher and water purification equipment should use a high-temperature resistant ceramic valve core to separate the water. The drain pipe must be equipped with a special anti-odor silicone insect-proof kit and maintain a reasonable gap. It is strictly prohibited to insert the dishwasher drain hose into an open floor drain at will to prevent high-temperature wastewater from overflowing and corroding the cabinet floor. It is recommended to regularly check the water supply and drainage hose joints inside the cabinet under the sink, and reserve inspection openings to prevent trace leakage from causing the plastic sheets to swell and become moldy due to moisture.
Key points of kitchen safety use and preventive inspection
- Special sockets for high-load electrical appliances:IH furnaces (power about 2.5kW~3.5kW) must use 220V dedicated lines with 30A leakage circuit breakers; dishwashers, microwave ovens and air fryers are strictly prohibited from sharing the same ordinary 110V circuit to prevent the wires from aging due to long-term high temperature transport.
- Regular leak detection of gas pipelines: For households that retain gas equipment, gas rubber hoses should be actively replaced with rodent-proof metal armored hoses that meet CNS national standards every 2 years, and joints should be regularly smeared with neutral soapy water to check for bubble leaks.
- Range hood filter maintenance: Stainless steel or aluminum alloy oil screens should be soaked in warm water and baking soda to remove oil every 2 to 4 weeks to prevent excessive wind resistance from reducing smoke exhaust efficiency and reduce the risk of thermal fires caused by oil accumulation in air ducts.
