What is included in regular cleaning in Dubai?

A regular (maintenance) clean in Dubai covers the visible, day-to-day cleaning needed to keep a home presentable between deep cleans. The standard scope includes dusting all accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, wiping kitchen counters and exterior of appliances, cleaning the sink and hob top, emptying bins, making beds, and full bathroom cleaning (toilet, basin, shower, mirror and floor). It does not normally include inside the oven, inside cabinets, descaling, interior window cleaning or balcony washing — those belong to a deep clean.

Key details for Dubai residents

A 1-bedroom apartment usually takes 2 hours with one cleaner, a 2-bedroom 2.5–3 hours, a 3-bedroom apartment in Downtown or Business Bay around 3–4 hours, and a small villa in JVC or Town Square 4–5 hours. Pricing in 2026 typically starts at AED 35–45 per hour with materials, with discounts for weekly or twice-weekly contracts. Always agree the room-by-room checklist in writing so expectations are aligned from the first visit.
