Confirm the handover scope before booking
A move-in or move-out clean is a deep clean of an empty home. Before booking, list every space the landlord or building will inspect: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, balconies, storage rooms, maid's or driver's room, and any appliances that stay with the property. If your agent or landlord has sent a snag list or photos, share them — they tell the team exactly what will be checked.
Timing: after the movers, before the inspection
Book the clean for after the movers have finished and the home is empty, and ideally a day before the inspection. That leaves time to fix anything the landlord points out. In summer and at the end of the school year, when most leases change hands, book at least a week ahead.
Prepare access, electricity and water
The team needs power and water to clean, and a way in:
- Keep electricity, water and AC connected until after the clean
- Share the tower or villa details, parking and loading-bay rules
- Arrange security approval and lift booking where the building requires it
- Leave keys and access cards with the concierge if you have already left
- Name a contact person who can answer questions on the day

What it costs
Move-in and move-out cleaning is priced by the length of the visit — AED 60 for 1 hour, AED 90 for 2 hours and AED 40 for each hour after that, with 20% off a visit of 4 hours or more, per cleaner, with our materials included, VAT included — with a deep-clean minimum of 2 cleaners for 3 hours each where short visits are accepted, and 2 cleaners for the area's shortest visit elsewhere. Most studios and 1-bedroom flats fit in the minimum; 2–3 bedroom apartments usually need 4–5 hours with two cleaners; villas most of a day with a larger team. Carpets, curtains and mattresses cleaned in the same visit are 10% off.
Complete a final inspection
Walk through the property with the team leader while access is still available, and compare the result with the agreed checklist and the landlord's list. Check in good light, open cupboards and look at the grout and the hood — the places inspectors look first. If you have already left, ask for photos of each room.
If a cleaning point comes up at inspection, send us the details within 24 hours and we arrange a re-clean of that area. Repairs, repainting and replacing damaged items are outside cleaning, though our maintenance team can quote for them.
