What Pushes the Price Up or Down
Number of bathrooms
Bathrooms take disproportionately longer to clean than open floor area. Extra bathrooms beyond the standard count for a given unit type typically add RM50–RM100 each.
Furnished vs empty
An empty unit is faster to clean thoroughly — floors, skirting and corners are fully accessible. A furnished unit takes longer and may cost slightly more, since the crew has to work around furniture.
Condition left by the previous occupant
A unit left reasonably tidy costs less to bring up to standard than one with heavy kitchen grease, bathroom mould, or general neglect. If you know the unit needs extra attention, mention it when requesting your quote.
