Deep Cleaning Cost in Dubai 2026: What You'll Really Pay

In 2026, a professional deep cleaning in Dubai costs between AED 332 for an unfurnished studio and AED 2,265 for a furnished 5-bedroom villa at ILAJ, VAT included. The final deep cleaning cost depends on three things: the size of your home, whether it is furnished, and whether it is an apartment or a villa. Dubai homes collect dust faster than most. Fine desert sand slips through window frames, settles in AC vents and builds up behind furniture, even when you clean every week. That is why many residents book a full deep clean a few times a year, and almost every tenant books one before handing back the keys.

The problem is that prices online are confusing. Some companies quote by the hour, others by room, and many hide the total until you call. This guide sets out real, current prices so you can budget before you book.

Deep Cleaning Prices in Dubai 2026 (Apartments and Villas)

These are ILAJ's one-time deep cleaning prices as of October 2026. Every price includes 5% VAT, all cleaning materials and professional equipment.

Villas cost more than apartments of the same bedroom count because they have stairs, more bathrooms, larger kitchens and often a maid's room or majlis. Offers change from time to time, so the live price on the ILAJ deep cleaning page is the one that applies when you book.

What Does a Deep Clean Include?

A deep clean reaches the places a weekly maid visit never touches. A standard ILAJ deep clean takes about 4 to 6 hours and covers - Kitchen: degreasing of the stovetop, hood, backsplash and counters; inside the oven, fridge and cabinets - Bathrooms: full sanitising, tile grout scrubbing, hard-water stain removal and mould treatment - Hidden areas: behind and under furniture, inside wardrobes, on top of door frames and cupboards - Dust traps: AC vent grilles, window tracks, skirting boards and light switches - Floors: deep vacuuming, scrubbing and polishing of marble, tile or wooden floors - Appliances: inside the washing machine and microwave Think of it as a reset. A regular clean keeps a home tidy, while a deep clean removes the dirt that has been building up for months.

5 Factors That Change Your Deep Cleaning Cost

1. Property size. More bedrooms and bathrooms mean more hours and a bigger team. A 3BHK apartment needs about twice the work of a studio.

2. Furnished or unfurnished. An empty home is faster to clean because there is nothing to move or wipe around. That is why unfurnished rates run roughly AED 70 to AED 530 lower.

3. Apartment or villa. Villas add staircases, extra bathrooms and outdoor-facing windows, so they sit in a higher price band.

4. Condition of the home. Post-renovation dust, heavy kitchen grease or a property left empty for months can add time. Tell the team in advance so they bring the right tools.

5. Add-ons. Sofa shampooing, carpet cleaning or AC duct cleaning are priced separately. Bundling them into one visit saves you a second call-out.

Add-On Prices and How to Save

If you only need one area done, or want extras alongside your deep clean, these are ILAJ's starting prices:

- Kitchen deep cleaning: from AED 198 - Bathroom deep cleaning: from AED 149 - Sofa shampooing: from AED 50 - Carpet shampooing: from AED 75 - Mattress shampooing: from AED 70 - AC duct cleaning: from AED 374

Ways to keep the cost down:

- Book unfurnished when you can. If you are moving in or out, schedule the clean after the furniture has gone. - Bundle services. Add sofa or mattress cleaning to the same visit instead of booking twice. - Book on weekdays. Weekend slots fill quickly and offers are more likely midweek. - Check live offers. Seasonal discounts appear on the booking page, so check before you confirm.

Deep Cleaning vs Regular Maid Service

They are different jobs, so the prices are not directly comparable.

Regular maid service - Pricing: hourly, from AED 35 per hour - Team: usually one cleaner - Covers: dusting, mopping, dishes and tidying - Best for: weekly upkeep

Deep cleaning - Pricing: fixed price by home size, from AED 332 - Team: a trained team with professional machines - Covers: inside appliances, grout, AC vents and behind furniture - Best for: a full reset a few times a year

Most Dubai households get the best result by combining both: a weekly maid service for day-to-day upkeep, plus a deep clean every three to six months. When should you book a deep clean in Dubai?

- Before moving out, to help get your security deposit back - Before moving in, so you start fresh in a new home - After renovation or painting, to clear fine construction dust - After a sandstorm, when sand has settled into every corner - Before festive seasons such as Diwali, Eid or Christmas, when guests visit - Every 3 to 6 months as routine maintenance
