KUALA LUMPUR: As Aidilfitri nears, demand for professional home cleaning soars as families rush to make their homes spotless and guest-ready. For some families, hiring professional cleaners is a practical choice, especially when work commitments and preparations for returning to their hometowns make thorough home cleaning difficult. A home cleaning service operator based in Kota Baru, Kelantan, Tengku Aidi Shah Tengku Amran Shah said demand for cleaning services almost doubled during Ramadan compared with regular days. Meanwhile, Shuzilah Saad, owner of Al Wafi Laundry and Cleaning, said demand for home cleaning in the Klang Valley jumps 20 to 30 per cent ahead of Aidilfitri compared with a usual month. Shuzilah said staff shortages amid festive demand have led to some bookings being turned down.
