Move-in cleaning in Dubai: the complete checklist, AED pricing & how to verify your pros
Moving into a new apartment or villa in Dubai? A proper move-in deep clean is the single best decision you can make before unpacking. This guide gives you the room-by-room checklist professional cleaners follow, transparent AED price ranges, and the safety checks that separate a real KYC-verified team from a random ad.
What a Dubai move-in clean should include
- Kitchen: degrease cabinets inside/out, oven, hob, extractor, fridge, dishwasher, sink and taps.
- Bathrooms: descale showers, taps and glass; sanitise WC, sink, mirrors, tiles and grout.
- Bedrooms & living areas: dust skirting, light fittings, AC vents, switches, wardrobes inside/out.
- Floors: vacuum and mop marble, tile and wooden flooring; spot-treat stains on carpets.
- Windows: interior glass, frames, tracks and balcony doors.
- Final touch: bin liners replaced, fresh-air ventilation, AC filters wiped.
How much does move-in cleaning in Dubai cost?
