What you should expect to pay
Rather than publishing one rate, tamam shows what multiple verified vendors charge for carpet cleaning so you can pick the tier that fits the job and the budget.
Regular clean, 2-bed apartment (3–4 hours)AED 120–350
Deep clean, 1–2 bed apartmentAED 400–900
Deep clean, 3–4 bed villaAED 600–1,500
Sofa or mattress shampoo, per pieceAED 100–300
Monthly package, one 4-hour visit weeklyAED 550–1,300
The range narrows to an actual figure once a vendor sees the scope. You approve it before work starts.
Deep clean versus regular: when the expensive visit is the cheap one
A regular clean is maintenance: floors, dusting, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, beds. A deep clean is restoration: inside the oven and fridge, limescale, grout, skirting boards, under and behind furniture. Deep cleans are priced as a job rather than by the hour — commonly AED 400–900 for an apartment and AED 600–1,500 for a three-to-four-bedroom villa — and people flinch at those numbers next to an AED 150–350 regular visit.
The analyst's view is different. A home deep-cleaned two or three times a year needs fewer regular hours to stay presentable, because a two-hour weekly visit maintaining a clean baseline achieves more than three hours fighting accumulated grime. Households that skip deep cleans often creep from three to four weekly hours without noticing — an extra AED 2,000–4,000 a year, more than the deep cleans would have cost.
Common missteps
Booking too few hours and paying overtime rates mid-visit
Underbooking is the classic trap: the team runs out of time, and you either accept a half-finished home or buy extra hours on the spot with zero negotiating position. Book realistic hours for the first visit, then trim once you have seen actual finish times.
Letting acidic cleaner near marble
One session with vinegar or a supermarket descaler can etch cloudy patches across a marble floor that only grinding and repolishing at AED 15–40 per square metre will remove. Confirm pH-neutral products at booking, and if you supply materials, remove the wrong bottles from reach entirely.
Never revisiting a standing booking
Hours creep and rate drift are silent: the four-hour slot set years ago continues after your real need fell, and loyal-customer rates rise above market. Re-check booked hours against actual finish times and current ranges twice a year, then ask your existing vendor to match rather than switching.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Should I provide cleaning supplies or pay for theirs?
For regular weekly cleaning, your own kit usually pays for itself within two to three months against a surcharge of AED 10–30 per visit, and lets you control what touches marble and delicate surfaces. For deep cleans, pay the inclusive rate — the machinery is the point.
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.
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.
Does a regular clean include the oven, fridge and windows?
Usually not — interior oven and fridge cleaning, full window washing and grout work are deep-clean or add-on items, and assuming otherwise is the most common source of end-of-visit disappointment. If you want them, name them in the scope when booking so hours and price reflect it.
Do you cover Khalifa City Area?
Yes — Khalifa City Area is covered across Abu Dhabi, with vendors who regularly work the area. Availability shows live in the app.
