What is the cleaning price per sqm in Dubai?

Per-square-metre pricing is most common in Dubai for deep cleans, post-construction cleans and commercial contracts. Typical 2026 rates are: regular office cleaning AED 1.5–3.5 per sqm per visit, residential deep cleaning AED 6–12 per sqm, post-construction cleaning AED 8–15 per sqm for apartments and AED 10–18 per sqm for villas, carpet cleaning AED 6–12 per sqm for synthetic and AED 15–30 per sqm for wool. For a 100 sqm 2-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina or JVC, a deep clean works out to AED 600–1,200, broadly aligned with fixed-price quotes from the same operators.

Key details for Dubai residents

Per-sqm pricing is useful because it gives a transparent, comparable benchmark across providers. When comparing quotes, always confirm what is included (oven, balcony, interior windows, AC vents), team size and time on site. A surprisingly low per-sqm price almost always means a smaller team and less time per area.
