tamam connects Arjan households and businesses with vetted cleaning providers. You see the options, the AED range and the availability, then book directly.
Arjan is primarily residential, so most bookings are villa or apartment work and timing follows family routines, which shapes how cleaning jobs run here — vendors who cover the area already know the access routine, the parking situation and the timing that suits residents.
Vendor availability is steady and lead times are typically short. Typical on-site time is 2–6 hours. Vendors will flag it in advance if your job looks heavier than standard.
Vendors are licence-checked and insurance-verified before they take a single booking, and customer ratings stay attached to their profile afterwards.
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.
The practical takeaway: never compare two quotes on the hourly number alone. A quote of AED 40–50 without materials and with a minimum-hours rule can cost more per useful cleaned hour than AED 60–75 all-in. Always reprice quotes as total dirhams for the visit you actually want.
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.
Where deep cleans are non-negotiable: move-in and move-out. UAE landlords routinely withhold part of a security deposit over cleaning, and deposits are far larger than the AED 400–900 an apartment move-out clean costs. A documented professional clean, with photos, is one of the highest-return cleaning purchases in the country.
Two ways in: the app for comparison and tracking, whatsapp if you would rather just talk to someone.
Every cleaning quote in the UAE answers a slightly different question, which is why comparing headline rates misleads. First fix the job: bedrooms and bathrooms, floor type, materials included or not, whether you need ironing or interior-cabinet work. Then ask each vendor to price that exact scope. A vendor that revises its estimate after hearing details is being accurate, not evasive.
Reprice everything as total AED, then sanity-check the time assumption. A studio takes two to three hours; a two-bed apartment three to four; a villa five to eight cleaner-hours. A quote assuming two hours for a four-bedroom villa is not a bargain — it is a plan to leave early, or to call you mid-visit asking for more hours at a rate you can no longer negotiate. This is the single most common way cheap quotes become expensive visits.
There is no single correct price for cleaning — there is a range, and where you land in it depends on scope and which vendor you pick. The app shows you that range up front.
Nothing is charged until you have chosen a vendor and seen their number. There are no surprise call-out fees.

Dubai is the deepest and most price-dispersed market: the same two-bed clean can be quoted at AED 35–50 per hour by a company based in Al Quoz and AED 70–90 by one marketing to the Palm and Downtown. Tower communities add friction worth planning for — many Emaar, Nakheel and JLT buildings require cleaning staff to register at security with company ID, and some restrict service-lift hours. Move-out cleans matter disproportionately here: with Ejari-registered tenancies and frequent deposit disputes, a documented professional clean with photos is cheap insurance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Comparing a live-in worker's salary against a cleaning package ignores visa fees, mandatory insurance, accommodation, flights and gratuity, which push the true cost to AED 30,000–60,000 a year. Count your genuine weekly hours first; below ten to twelve, on-demand cleaning wins the arithmetic comfortably.
