Deep Cleaning Services in Dubai

The cupboard fronts are clean, but there is grease along the extractor. The shower looks fine until you look at the bottom edge of the glass. You can see dust behind the bed, though moving it means shifting a bedside table and finding somewhere for the lamp. In an occupied home, these are the jobs that need time, preparation and a clear agreement with the cleaning crew.

Dubai Housekeeping and Elite Maids are two useful services to compare for this kind of visit. Dubai Housekeeping publishes a labour allowance by property size, which helps you discuss how much work the booking buys. Elite Maids offers apartment and villa starting prices with a room-by-room scope. Both describe appliance and cupboard cleaning, but belongings, access and extra services can change the job. Start with the areas you want cleaned, then ask the provider to price the work for your home.

For most households, the first decision is how much of the home to open up at once. If your priority is a greasy kitchen and two bathrooms, say so. A wardrobe full of clothes, an inaccessible space behind a fridge and a sofa needing extraction each create a different request. A practical deep-clean booking describes those requests before anyone arrives.

What the published prices buy

The figures below were checked on 7 November 2026. Each provider still needs the size, condition and requested scope to confirm your booking.

Dubai Housekeeping's figures come from its September 2026 cost guide. Elite's apartment starting price covers a broad category, so request a quote for your bedroom count before comparing totals. A two-bedroom household can send the same room list and photos to both companies. Include the oven, any cupboard interiors you want done, bathrooms, balcony and the areas behind furniture you want reached. That gives each team a concrete job to price.

Dubai Housekeeping for a visit planned around labour hours

Dubai Housekeeping's published allowances make it easier to ask how a crew will use the day. Twelve labour hours, for example, could be delivered by two cleaners working for six hours each. Confirm the actual allocation and finish estimate with the company. In a furnished apartment, the time spent emptying a shelf, moving small objects and replacing them also has to fit somewhere.

Its price guide includes standard supplies and describes oven and microwave interiors within the deep-clean scope. An empty fridge can be cleaned inside, while emptying, refilling or defrosting it can require more time. Separate Appliance Care is listed at AED 300 per washing machine, dishwasher or dryer, before the guide's excluded VAT. Request those treatments by name if you want them added. A kitchen visit becomes much clearer when the quote distinguishes the appliances the team will wipe, those it will clean inside and any separately booked care.

The service page lists reachable glass, accessible areas behind or beneath furniture, kitchen cabinets and reachable AC grilles. It also distinguishes bedroom cabinet cleaning from organising the contents. Its list of separately priced work includes grout treatment, floor polishing and soft furnishings. If the reason for booking is darkened grout or a heavily used sofa, put that concern at the top of the enquiry and get the relevant treatment on the quote. Dubai Housekeeping deep-cleaning scope.

The company's terms identify the operator as Grace Quest Cleaning Services. They allow quote changes where the original description differs from the site and say the booking is based on the hired service. Its cost guide asks for approval before additional hours continue. Agree which rooms take priority if the team discovers more work than expected. Keep the revised amount and your approval in the booking conversation.

The general terms provide free changes with at least 24 hours' notice, a 50% charge with 12–24 hours' notice and a full charge below 12 hours. They ask for concerns within 24 hours and describe a return to address missed areas under the quality policy. Its My Maid plan has its own ongoing commitments. If you want a single deep clean, check that the confirmation describes a single visit. Dubai Housekeeping booking terms.

The official Dubai Housekeeping Instagram account shares a whole-home cleaning reel with a crew working across a floor. It offers a glimpse of the company's presentation of its work. For your own home, use the agreed room list to establish what the visit includes.

Elite Maids for a room-by-room apartment or villa quote

Elite Maids describes its deep clean through the rooms and surfaces a team will tackle. Kitchen appliance and cabinet interiors feature in its apartment description, alongside bathroom scale, interior glass and floor cleaning. Its villa description adds stairs and multiple bathrooms. Outdoor scope is priced separately in the main pricing table, so name the terrace, patio or driveway you want included.

The advertised price includes VAT and the product page says the team brings equipment and products. The general terms also allow a materials charge for deep cleaning. Ask for a written total that includes the supplies for your visit. The same conversation should identify any sofa, mattress or carpet treatment, which the product page offers as additions. A family wanting the oven, both showers and the rug cleaned can then see the price attached to each part. Elite Maids service and pricing.

Preparation is particularly important for this booking. Elite's terms ask for empty cupboards and a defrosted fridge or freezer, and place responsibility for moving heavy items with the customer. If the space beneath a bed matters to you, send a photo showing its height and how it can be moved. For a heavy fridge, ask what access is required and who can safely arrange it before the cleaners arrive.

The general terms name EXCELLENCE DOMESTIC WORKERS SERVICES CENTER LLC as the service entity. They ask for complaints within 24 hours and require at least 24 hours' notice for postponement or cancellation. The stated 50% late-change charge is described for domestic cleaning, so obtain the amount that applies to your particular deep-clean visit. This is worth settling if you are waiting for furniture delivery or maintenance work that could move the date. Elite Maids general terms.

The Elite Maids Instagram profile links back to its website. Its general booking and monthly-package posts give you a way to recognise the brand. Use the deep-cleaning quotation to agree the appliances, rooms and materials for the visit.

Decide which cupboards you can empty

Cupboard interiors can turn a straightforward booking into a long day of sorting. Choose the units you most want cleaned and tell the company how they will be prepared. For a kitchen, that might be the cupboard below the sink, the drawer beside the hob and the shelves holding cooking oil. You can leave other units for another visit if you have nowhere to put their contents.

Make a temporary landing area for the things you remove. Keep food, crockery and cleaning products in separate groups so you can put them back easily. If you want the team to empty or refill cupboards, include that in the request and ask how it affects the labour allowance. Give instructions for anything you would like discarded. A cleaner opening a cupboard cannot know which half-used jar you plan to keep.

Wardrobes need the same planning. Decide whether you want a quick wipe of accessible shelves, empty shelf interiors, drawer runners or the top of a tall unit. Each requires a different amount of access. If the wardrobe is built in, send a photo of the high ledge or track that concerns you. That lets the company decide whether the crew needs additional equipment.

There is also a difference between cleaning a shelf and deciding how everything on it should be arranged. If you want sorting and organising, explain the desired result. You might ask to have the empty shelves cleaned during this visit and take care of arranging clothes afterward. That makes the amount of work easier for both you and the crew to judge.

Give the kitchen its own scope

Begin with the appliance causing the most trouble. An oven with old grease needs a clearer description than a line saying “kitchen cleaning.” Photograph the door, racks and main cavity. Tell the company whether it is a single or double oven and whether there is a separate microwave. Ask which removable pieces it expects to clean and whether the team has allowed enough time for the condition shown.

For the extractor, specify whether you mean the visible hood, accessible filters or another component. If there is a part you cannot identify, a close photo is more useful than guessing its name. Explain how it can be reached and mention a tall splashback or unusual fitted cabinetry. The company can then describe the accessible work it will undertake.

Plan fridge cleaning around the food. Agree when it needs to be emptied, whether defrosting is required and when you can use it again. If you cannot prepare the whole appliance, ask whether a smaller scope is available for the shelves you can clear. Add a freestanding freezer to the enquiry separately. It occupies time even when the apartment's bedroom count stays the same.

A washing machine, dishwasher or dryer deserves its own line if you want internal care. Send the model or a photo of the control panel and identify the drawer, seal, filter or accessible surface you are concerned about. Ask the provider to explain the proposed treatment and any preparation. This keeps the discussion connected to the appliance you own and helps you decide whether to arrange it with the household clean.

Describe the bathroom problem you want treated

A bathroom quote is easier to understand when it names the troublesome surface. Take a close photo of the bottom of the shower glass, tap bases or tile joints. Tell the company whether you want scale treatment, a detailed scrub of accessible surfaces or a separately priced grout service. Ask how it expects the surface to look afterward.

For a bathroom with older fittings, point out chipped surfaces, loose seals or a drain that already causes trouble. The crew needs that information before work begins. If the issue appears to require repair, arrange an assessment with the relevant tradesperson and coordinate the cleaning around that visit. It saves time when everyone knows which work has already been agreed.

Keep one bathroom available if your household will remain at home. Ask the crew which room it wants to start in and tell it when you need access. The same approach helps with a home office: identify the period when the room can be opened up, move sensitive papers yourself and let the team work without interrupting calls.

Price furniture access and glass before the visit

The hardest area to clean may be the space you cannot reach yourself. A low bed with drawers, a large bookcase and a fitted appliance all create different access questions. Photograph the gap and the surrounding furniture. Ask whether the crew can clean through the opening, whether an item needs moving first and who is responsible for arranging that.

Avoid filling the floor with everything you have removed from cupboards. It reduces the crew's access just as the work is getting under way. Clearing one room at a time can be more manageable if the apartment is small. Agree the order with the team and keep a route open for its equipment.

For windows, identify the panes and tracks you want treated. A reachable interior window and exterior glass above a balcony require different arrangements. Give the provider the building, floor and a photo of the glazing. Ask for the agreed reachable surfaces on the quote, particularly if outside glass is the main reason you are booking.

In a villa, list the extra spaces by name. Stairs, a maid's room, several bathrooms and a large terrace can add work beyond what the bedroom count suggests. If you want patio furniture or a driveway included, add photos and dimensions when you can. That gives the provider a better basis for deciding crew size and equipment.

Read the quote as a plan for the day

Before paying, look for the rooms, priority surfaces, supplies, agreed additions and total including VAT. Ask how many cleaners are coming, what time they expect to arrive and roughly when they will finish. If the booking is sold in labour hours, have the company translate that allowance into the proposed crew's visit length.

For example, you might request a two-bedroom clean focused on the oven, empty lower kitchen cupboards, two showers and accessible floor space beneath the beds. Add the balcony as a separate line if you are still deciding whether to include it. Explain that you will empty the cupboards and remain available for a final check. The provider can price a specific visit and tell you what preparation it needs.

Agree how the company will contact you if the condition changes the estimate. Give it a phone number you can answer and ask for the revised work and amount in writing before approving an extension. If you have a firm budget, state it and ask which work can be completed within it. Choosing priorities in advance is easier than making hurried decisions while the crew waits.

At the end, walk through the rooms you singled out. Open the cleaned drawers, look inside the oven and inspect the shower area you photographed. Raise a missed item while the team can see it. Keep the confirmation, payment record and any follow-up message together so the office can understand exactly what you booked if you need another visit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stay at home during a deep clean?

Arrange this with the company and plan which rooms you will use. Keep children and pets away from the working area and tell the crew when you need the kitchen, bathroom or office. A household that can give the team uninterrupted access to one room at a time makes the visit easier to organise.

How often should I book?

Use the condition of your home and the tasks your regular routine leaves behind to decide. A kitchen used heavily every day may need attention sooner than a spare bedroom. Keep a short list of the areas you repeatedly skip, then book the amount of work that addresses those areas.

What if I want only the kitchen and bathrooms done?

Ask for a quote based on those rooms and describe the appliances and surfaces. Check the minimum visit or charge before assuming it will cost less than the advertised apartment package. A smaller area with heavy buildup can still take several hours.

Does steam equipment mean every surface will be steamed?

Ask which surfaces the team proposes to treat and mention delicate finishes or manufacturer care instructions. The agreed method should suit the material. If your main concern is a particular floor, fabric or cabinet finish, send that detail before the equipment is selected.
