How much does a disinfection service cost in Penang?

A professional disinfection service in Penang costs RM 150-350 for a small condo, RM 350-700 for a landed home, and RM 0.30-0.80 per square foot for offices and commercial premises. The price depends on floor area, the method (fogging, surface wiping, or both), and whether a certificate is required.

What is the difference between fogging and surface wiping?

ULV fogging sprays a fine mist that coats all exposed surfaces and is good for whole-room coverage. Surface wiping manually treats high-touch points like handles and switches. A fog-plus-wipe combo is the most thorough and is what clinics, childcare, and food premises typically need.

When do Penang homes and businesses need disinfection?

Common triggers are after illness in the household (flu, COVID, hand-foot-mouth disease), move-in or move-out, post-renovation cleanup, recurring office or clinic contracts, and after pest activity or flooding where humidity has raised the microbial and mould risk.

How can I tell a thorough disinfection from a cheap one?

Confirm the method (fog, wipe, or both), that the chemical is an approved registered disinfectant the operator can name, and that the contact time is genuine rather than a 10-minute spray-and-leave. Ask whether a dated certificate is included if a landlord, tenancy, or insurer requires one.
