The AED 35–90 spread: what a cleaning hour is really made of
The headline number in the UAE market is an hourly rate per cleaner, and it sits in a wide band of roughly AED 35–90. At the bottom you are usually getting one cleaner, no supplies, a weekday daytime slot, and a company that keeps overheads thin. At the top you are paying for provided materials, a supervisor, weekend or evening timing, insurance cover for breakages, and sometimes simply a brand premium in areas like Downtown Dubai or Saadiyat where companies know clients rarely compare.
Break the hour apart and the cost structure is consistent across the Emirates: the cleaner's wage and accommodation, transport between jobs, consumables if included, the company's trade licence and visa costs, and margin. That is why a rate of AED 25–30 per hour should worry you rather than please you — at that price something is being skipped, usually either the worker's legal status or any accountability when your glass dining table cracks.
AED ranges
carpet cleaning generally falls in the AED 35–90 per hour band. Comparing several verified vendors on the same job description is what stops you overpaying.

Materials and supplies surcharge, per visitAED 10–30
Deep clean, 1–2 bed apartmentAED 400–900
Sofa or mattress shampoo, per pieceAED 100–300
Monthly package, one 4-hour visit weeklyAED 550–1,300
You will see each vendor's price against your job description, then decide. No commitment until then.
Frequently asked questions
How many hours should I book for my home?
As a working rule: two to three hours for a studio, three to four for a two-bed apartment, and five to eight cleaner-hours for a villa, often split across a team of two. First visits run longer than maintenance visits, so book generously once, then trim after you see what the cleaner actually finishes.
Is AED 35–40 per hour too cheap to be safe?
Not automatically — weekday, no-materials rates from lean Sharjah or Ajman companies legitimately sit there. It becomes a red flag combined with no trade licence, cash-only payment, or staff who are not the company's own employees, because then there is no accountability for damage. Verify the company, not just the price.
Can I request the same cleaner every visit?
Yes, and you should — a cleaner who knows your home works noticeably faster by the third visit, which is a real saving on hourly billing. Rebooking the same vendor through the tamam app is the practical way to keep that continuity without a contract.
What is safe to use on marble floors?
Only pH-neutral cleaners. Vinegar, lemon-based products and most descalers etch marble permanently, and repolishing costs roughly AED 15–40 per square metre. State your floor type at booking and, if supplying materials, put the correct bottle out first.
Is on-demand cleaning cheaper than sponsoring a live-in maid?
Below roughly ten to twelve genuinely needed hours a week, almost always — the full cost of sponsorship including visa, insurance, accommodation, flights and gratuity commonly reaches AED 30,000–60,000 a year, well above the salary figure people quote. Above twenty hours, or where the role includes childcare and cooking, live-in starts to make sense.
