Supplies included or bring your own: the small line that decides the winner
Buying your own kit — mop and bucket, microfibre cloths, glass cleaner, floor solution, bathroom descaler — costs roughly AED 150–350 upfront and perhaps AED 40–80 a month in refills. If you clean weekly, own-supplies pays for itself within two to three months, and you control what touches your surfaces: the pH-neutral floor cleaner your marble needs, rather than whatever multi-surface liquid is in the company caddy.
The exception is deep cleans and specialist work. Steam machines, wet vacuums, rotary scrubbers and sofa-shampoo kit are exactly what the higher rate buys, and no sane household purchases them. For regular maintenance, supply your own; for anything involving machinery, let the price include it.

Marble, porcelain and the expensive ways to clean a floor wrong
Porcelain and ceramic tile, standard in newer towers and much of Sharjah and Ajman, are far more forgiving — the risk shifts to grout, which stains and darkens and is the first thing a viewing tenant notices. Grout work is a legitimate deep-clean item, not something a regular hourly visit covers.
Unsure what you have? Marble is cool to the touch with veining that runs irregularly, and no two tiles match; porcelain repeats its pattern. When a cleaning company asks about your floor type before quoting, that is a quality signal. When they never ask, that tells you something too.

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.
On-demand cleaning at AED 35–90 per hour makes the comparison mechanical. Eight hours a week — two solid visits — costs roughly AED 15,000–37,000 a year at ad-hoc rates, less on a package. Below about ten to twelve hours of genuine weekly need, on-demand is almost always cheaper. Above twenty hours, or where the role includes childcare and cooking, the live-in model starts to justify itself on grounds no hourly service can match.
what we stand behind
How vendors are checked
Every vendor on tamam has a verified trade licence with the relevant municipality, checked insurance, and technicians who are ID-tagged in the app.
the rate card
Budgeting for this
There is no single correct price for sofa 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.
The range narrows to an actual figure once a vendor sees the scope. You approve it before work starts.
A quick checklist
- Write a one-line scope with your priorities and share it at booking, not on arrival
- State your floor type — marble homes need pH-neutral cleaner confirmed explicitly
- Secure valuables, cash and documents as a matter of routine
- Lay out your own supplies if you booked without materials
- Do a walkthrough against your scope before the team leaves, while fixes are free
editor’s note
Sofa 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.
the candid bit
Avoid these
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.
Paying deep-clean prices on a monthly schedule
A genuine deep clean holds its value for months; a company proposing one every four weeks is selling regular cleaning in expensive packaging. Two or three deep cleans a year plus disciplined weekly maintenance is the cost-efficient rhythm for almost every UAE home.
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
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.
“Yes, and you should — a cleaner who knows your home works noticeably faster by the third visit, which is.”
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.
“No, and many regular clients hand over access once trust is established, but stay home for the first.”
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.
