How to hire a end of tenancy cleaning pro in United Arab Emirates
- Check your tenancy contract — Dubai (Ejari-registered) and Abu Dhabi (Tawtheeq) contracts typically require the unit returned professionally cleaned and repainted or with paint deductions agreed
- Book a licensed cleaning company (trade licence from DED/ADDED) rather than an unlicensed freelancer
- Confirm scope: AC vent dusting, kitchen degrease, balcony, and limescale removal from hard water
- Coordinate timing with your move-out inspection and final DEWA/utility disconnection
- Get a tax invoice (5% VAT) for the deposit negotiation
- Ask about add-ons commonly requested at handover: carpet shampoo, sofa cleaning if furnished, AC duct cleaning
Frequently asked questions
Can I do the end of tenancy clean myself?
Legally yes in most markets — you are obliged to meet a cleanliness standard, not to hire a company. In practice, ovens, limescale, and carpet stains are where DIY cleans fail checkout inspections, so budget serious time and proper products if you go that route.
What is included in an end of tenancy clean?
A full top-to-bottom clean of the empty property: inside the oven and appliances, inside cupboards, limescale removal, skirting boards, windows inside, and a deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet steam cleaning is usually a paid extra.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
A one-bedroom flat typically takes a two-person team 3-5 hours. A three-bedroom house can take 6-10 hours or a larger crew. The property should be empty of furniture and belongings for the fastest result.
Is end of tenancy cleaning guaranteed?
Reputable companies offer a re-clean guarantee, usually 48-72 hours, meaning they return free of charge if the landlord or agent flags missed areas at checkout. Always confirm the guarantee window in writing before booking.
Do I need professional cleaning to get my deposit back?
You need to return the property in the same state of cleanliness as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Cleaning disputes are the single most common reason deposits get docked, so a professional clean with an invoice is cheap insurance on larger deposits.
Should carpets be professionally cleaned at move-out?
If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.
Is move-out cleaning required to get my deposit back in Dubai?
Most Dubai leases require the apartment handed back clean and often freshly painted, with the landlord otherwise deducting from the (typically 5%) security deposit. A licensed company's tax invoice for a deep clean materially strengthens your refund position at the Rental Disputes Centre.
