A part time cleaner KL residents book from Home Services KL comes as a pair: 2 of our own cleaners for 2 hours (4 cleaner-hours), from RM140 per session, for a condo, apartment or landed home up to 1,000 sqft. That is RM35 per cleaner-hour, with a 2-hour minimum. Book one session or a fixed weekday every week or every two weeks; extra time is RM60 per hour for the two cleaners. The cleaners bring their own tools and cleaning products. Send your home size and the day you want on WhatsApp to +60 11-4971 6909, and we reply with a slot.

The session price covers the tools and cleaning products. Every booking has two cleaners, so a 2-hour session is four hours of work in your home.
What a 2-hour session covers
The routine list is the same on every visit:
- Kitchen counters and stove top wiped; sink and tap washed
- Cabinet doors and the fronts of appliances wiped down
- In every bathroom, the toilet bowl, basin, shower area and mirror
- Surfaces in the bedrooms and living room dusted where they can be reached
- Bins emptied
- Floors vacuumed or swept, then mopped, with the balcony floor included
Tell the cleaners which rooms matter most to you. Kitchens and bathrooms take the longest, so in a 2-hour session they set the pace for the rest of the home.
Not part of a session
- Laundry and ironing
- Cooking and childcare
- Looking after elderly family members
- Grout scrubbing and degreasing, which belong to deep cleaning
- Moving heavy furniture
- Exterior windows and anything above 3 metres
- Walking or feeding pets
In some households a part-time maid also cooks or minds the children. Our sessions are cleaning only.
VIP part-time cleaning
For a serviced apartment, a family home with expat tenants or a unit a landlord keeps ready for viewings, book the VIP session instead: two cleaners from our European team for 2 hours, cleaning to a European standard, neat, thorough and unhurried, with premium products and the inside of appliances, window tracks and skirting boards on every visit. The same two cleaners come every time where the schedule allows. It is RM480 per session for a home up to 1,200 sqft, with extra time at RM240 per hour. The full description is on our cleaning services page.

Weekly or every two weeks?
A weekly session suits a busy household: children, pets, daily cooking or a home that is used all day. Every two weeks is usually enough for one or two people who are out at work and cook lightly. If you are not sure, start weekly for a month and move to every two weeks once the home stays in order between visits.
With two weeks between visits, the kitchen and bathrooms collect more, so a larger home on a fortnightly schedule may need an extra hour each time.
Pick a fixed weekday and time, so the session fits around your week and your building’s rules for visitors. To move a session or skip a week, message us on WhatsApp.
| Schedule | Sessions a month | Regular, 2 cleaners x 2 hours | VIP, 2 European cleaners x 2 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | 4 | RM560 | RM1,920 |
| Every two weeks | 2 | RM280 | RM960 |
Prices effective November 2026.
Months with five of your weekday have a fifth session at the same per-session price. There is no monthly contract: you pay per session, after each clean.
Using the time well
Each visit follows the same list unless you change it. One way to use the time is to rotate a single extra task: the inside of the fridge one week, the interior windows the next. If something needs attention before guests arrive, message us before the visit, and the cleaners spend part of the session on it or you add an extra hour.
If you work from home, the cleaners start with the rooms you are not using and come to your desk last. Keep children and pets away from wet floors until they have dried.
The first session
The first visit usually takes longer than the ones after it. The cleaners are learning the home, and they are catching up on whatever built up before they started. Book an extra hour for it, or book a deep clean first if the kitchen grease or the grout has got ahead of what a routine visit can handle.
Show the cleaners around at the start and tell them:
- which rooms matter most
- anything they should not touch or move
- where rubbish goes in your building
Marble and timber floors sometimes need their own product. If yours do, put the bottle where the cleaners will see it.
Landed homes on a part-time schedule
A terrace or semi-D usually has more floor area than a condo unit, plus stairs and extra bathrooms, so a 2-hour session covers less of it. For a landed home above 1,000 sqft, the session runs longer with extra hours at RM60 each. Send photos and the number of floors, and we suggest how many hours a routine visit needs.
What a part-time cleaning session is
In KL, people looking for help at home use the words part time maid, part-time cleaner and hourly maid for much the same thing: someone who comes for a few hours and cleans. What you book with us is a cleaning session from Home Services KL, with our own cleaners: not a live-in arrangement and not a placement. You message us, we confirm the slot, and two cleaners arrive with their kit at the agreed time.
Part-time cleaning in a condo
Regular visits mean the guardhouse sees the same booking every week or two, so it pays to set access up once rather than on every visit. Tell us the condo name; we tell you what buildings usually ask for, and you register the cleaners with your management office. If you are an expat tenant and new to the building, do this before the first session. Keys and parking are covered on our cleaning services page.
Part-time cleaner FAQ
How much is a part time maid per hour in KL?
A session with Home Services KL is 2 cleaners for 2 hours at RM140, which is 4 cleaner-hours of work, or RM35 per cleaner-hour. Extra time is RM60 per hour for the two cleaners together. Tools and cleaning products are included, so nothing is added for supplies.
What does a cleaner do in 2 hours?
In a home up to 1,000 sqft, our two cleaners get through the routine list in 2 hours: kitchen surfaces and sink, bathrooms, dusting within reach, bins and floors. Laundry and grout scrubbing are not part of it.
Can I get the same cleaner every week?
On a weekly or fortnightly schedule we send the same two cleaners wherever the roster allows, and we tell you in advance if one of them is replaced that week. With the VIP session, the same two European cleaners come every time where the schedule allows.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
No. Our cleaners bring the tools and cleaning products, and they are included in the session price. If you want a particular product used on a special surface, leave it out for them.
How much does it cost to hire a maid in Kuala Lumpur?
It depends on the arrangement. A full-time or live-in helper is a separate arrangement that Home Services KL does not offer. What we provide are cleaning sessions of 2 cleaners x 2 hours from RM140. You can book one or set a schedule.
Is there a monthly package for a part time maid?
Home Services KL prices part-time cleaning per session rather than by the month. A weekly schedule comes to four or five sessions in a calendar month, at RM140 each for a home up to 1,000 sqft. A session every two weeks is two or three a month.
Can I change the day or skip a week?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the new day, and we confirm whether the cleaners can move to it.
