Cleaning service cost in Dubai (2026): hourly maids and deep cleans
Cleaning service cost in Dubai for 2026: hourly maid rates, deep cleaning prices by apartment and villa size, and what to check before booking.
Updated 1 min read
Your cleaning service cost in Dubai depends on how many hours you book, whether materials are included, and the size of your home for one-off deep cleans. Here's what people pay in 2026.
Hourly cleaning
Most regular cleaning in Dubai is booked by the hour:
- A 2026 guide puts hourly rates at about AED 30 to AED 50 across Dubai providers.
- ServiceMarket lists about AED 33 to AED 39 an hour, cheaper per hour for longer bookings, plus about AED 10 an hour if the cleaner brings materials.
- In Sharjah, Urban Company lists one hour from about AED 52, or AED 59 with materials.
First-booking promotions can be much lower, so compare regular prices too.

What affects the price
- Hours and crew size: two cleaners for four hours costs more than one for two.
- Materials: included, or extra?
- Condition: post-renovation dust or a home that's been empty for months takes longer.
- Extras: inside appliances and cabinets, balconies, windows and AC grilles.
Before you book
- Confirm the total for the hours, materials and VAT.
- Use a licensed cleaning company rather than an informal arrangement.
- Ask what a deep clean covers, room by room.
- Ask about a re-clean if something's missed.
