What should I look for in a cleaning company in Dubai?

When choosing a cleaning company in Dubai, look for: (1) a valid DET trade licence with cleaning activity listed; (2) public liability insurance of AED 1 million or more, plus workers' compensation; (3) sponsored, uniformed staff with Emirates IDs (essential for building security pre-registration in towers across Marina, Downtown, JLT and Business Bay); (4) a written scope and fixed-price quote rather than vague hourly billing; (5) a re-clean guarantee within 24–48 hours if you are not satisfied; (6) commercial-grade equipment including a vacuum, mop and bucket, microfibre cloths, and chemical sprayers for deep cleans; (7) the option to request a fixed cleaner on a weekly contract for consistency; (8) contact form booking and quick confirmation; and (9) transparent cancellation terms. Ask about training programmes, English-language ability of staff, and the company's experience in your specific community.

A reputable operator will happily provide trade licence and insurance documentation before booking — if they hesitate, choose someone else.
