AED ranges

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.

jobtypical AED
Regular clean, 2-bed apartment (3–4 hours)AED 120–350
Deep clean, 1–2 bed apartmentAED 400–900
Move-in / move-out clean, apartmentAED 400–900

You will see each vendor's price against your job description, then decide. No commitment until then.

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.

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.

Shamal season: budgeting for desert dust

UAE dust is not ordinary household dust. Shamal winds, most active from roughly May to August, carry fine mineral dust that gets through window seals, coats balconies in hours and resettles on every surface within a day of cleaning. It is abrasive too — walked-in grit is what puts micro-scratches in polished floors long before anything else does.

Cheap mitigation beats paid remediation. Door draught strips cost AED 20–60 per door, a proper entrance mat traps the grit that would otherwise sand your floors, and rinsed balconies stop dust migrating indoors. Households that do this genuinely need fewer paid hours per month.

Live-in help versus on-demand: the honest total-cost comparison

The traditional UAE answer to housework is sponsoring a full-time domestic worker. The visible costs are salary and visa, but the true annual figure adds mandatory medical insurance, accommodation and food, a return flight, end-of-service gratuity accrual, and agency fees amortised over the contract. Counted honestly, a live-in commonly costs AED 30,000–60,000 per year — far above the salary line most people quote at dinner parties.

The middle band is where households misjudge. The common error is sponsoring a full-time worker to cover a part-time cleaning need because the salary alone looked comparable to a cleaning package. Salary alone is not the cost. Run the full number for your actual hours before taking on a two-year sponsorship obligation, because exiting early has costs of its own.

Mistakes to avoid

Comparing hourly rates instead of total visit cost

An AED 40–50 rate with a materials surcharge and a four-hour minimum can cost more than an AED 60–75 all-inclusive quote. Reprice every quote as total dirhams for your exact scope. The hourly number is a marketing figure, not a price.

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.

Sponsoring full-time help for a part-time need

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.

Cleaning in Dubai

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.

Verified vendors

Every vendor on tamam has a verified trade licence with the relevant municipality, checked insurance, and technicians who are ID-tagged in the app.

A quick checklist

  • Tell the vendor your building name so security passes and parking are sorted in advance
  • State your floor type — marble homes need pH-neutral cleaner confirmed explicitly
  • Clear surfaces and floors of personal items so paid hours go to cleaning, not tidying
  • Do a walkthrough against your scope before the team leaves, while fixes are free
  • Note the finish time versus hours booked, and adjust your next booking accordingly

Frequently asked questions

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 a cleaning package worth it over ad-hoc booking?

If you clean weekly at a fixed rhythm, usually yes — packages typically work out meaningfully cheaper per hour. Check three terms before signing: cancellation notice, whether missed visits roll over, and whether your slot and cleaner are fixed. Rigid terms with no rollover can cost more than ad-hoc booking in a travel-heavy year.

Do I need to be home during the clean?

No, and many regular clients hand over access once trust is established, but stay home for the first visit or two. Either way, secure valuables, cash and documents as standard practice — it protects the cleaner from suspicion as much as it protects you.

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.
