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.

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.
