Are Helpling cleaners background-checked?

Every cleaner on the Helpling platform is background-checked. There is no path onto the platform that skips this.

🪪

Identity verified

Every listed cleaner's identity is confirmed before any further checks proceed.

⚖️

Right to work confirmed

Legal right to work in Singapore is required — no exceptions.

🔍

Clean criminal record required

Anyone who cannot demonstrate a clean record is not approved for listing.

Yes, every listed cleaner is background-checked

Whether a cleaner is highly experienced or new to professional cleaning, they pass the same background check. Anyone who does not clear it is not listed — there is no case-by-case decision.

What the background check covers

The check is built around three things a customer most reasonably needs to know about a person entering their home: who they are, that they are legally allowed to work in Singapore, and that they have a clean criminal record.

A practical skills and aptitude test also sits alongside the background check before a cleaner can be listed.

Why background checks matter for in-home services

In-home cleaning is a category where you extend trust before any work begins. Background-checking every listed cleaner shifts that burden from the customer to the platform — you do not need to assess a stranger independently.

If you ever have a concern

If anything during or after a session does not sit right, contact Home Advisors within 24 hours through the app, WhatsApp, or email. Concerns trigger a review of the cleaner involved.

What does the background check cover?
