Moving home in Dubai is stressful enough without scrubbing an empty property at either end of it. Whether you're handing back keys and want your deposit protected, or moving into a place you'd rather start fresh in, our move in / move out cleaning service in Dubai delivers a thorough, top-to-bottom deep clean of the empty property — inside cupboards, appliances, bathrooms and all. Work follows BICS-aligned methods with eco-conscious products, so the home is genuinely handover-ready. Apartments start from AED 299 and villas from AED 399 (both +5% VAT, confirmed after assessment), across all seven emirates.
Why move in / move out cleaning is different
A move clean is not a regular tidy-up. The property is empty, so every surface is accessible — and every surface is expected to be spotless. At move-out, a thorough clean helps protect your security deposit and meets the handover condition many Dubai landlords and agents require. At move-in, it means you start in a genuinely clean home rather than inheriting someone else's grime in the cupboards and behind the appliances.
Because the home is unfurnished, we reach the places normal cleaning misses: inside wardrobes and kitchen cabinets, behind and beneath appliances, on top of high units, and into the corners that accumulate Dubai's fine dust.
What's included
A typical move clean covers:
- Kitchen — cabinets cleaned inside and out, countertops, sink, and exterior of appliances; oven and inside-appliance cleaning available as add-ons
- Bathrooms — descaling and disinfecting of tiles, fittings, sinks, toilets, showers and mirrors
- Bedrooms and living areas — wardrobes wiped inside and out, skirting, switches, doors and frames
- Floors — vacuumed and mopped throughout; carpet cleaning available as an add-on
- Windows — interior glass, sills and tracks (exterior/high-access by arrangement)
- Dust removal — high and low: light fittings, vents, ledges, corners
- Final detailing so the property looks and smells fresh
Because every property and tenancy condition differs, we confirm the exact scope with you — including any specific landlord or agency handover requirements — before we start.
Our method
- Walkthrough — assess size, condition and any specific handover requirements
- De-dust top-down — high surfaces first, so dust falls onto areas cleaned later
- Deep-clean wet areas — kitchen and bathrooms get the most attention
- Detail — inside cupboards, appliance exteriors, frames and fittings
- Floors last — vacuum and mop throughout
- Final check — a walkthrough to confirm the property is handover-ready
Apartment vs villa pricing
We price by property type because the work genuinely differs:
- Apartments from AED 299 (+5% VAT)
- Villas from AED 399 (+5% VAT)
The final quote is confirmed after assessing the size, number of bathrooms, overall condition, and any add-ons (oven interior, fridge interior, carpet or sofa cleaning, interior window detailing). Larger villas and heavily soiled properties are quoted accordingly — we'd rather give you an accurate price than a tempting one that changes on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a move clean and a regular clean?
A move clean is a deep clean of an empty property, reaching inside cupboards and wardrobes, behind appliances and into corners that furnished cleaning can't access. It's geared to a spotless handover condition rather than routine upkeep.
Will this help me get my deposit back?
A thorough move-out clean addresses the cleanliness expectations many Dubai landlords and agents require at handover, which helps protect your deposit. We can follow any specific checklist your agency provides — share it when you book.
How is move cleaning priced?
By property type: apartments from AED 299 and villas from AED 399, both plus 5% VAT. The final quote is confirmed after assessing size, number of bathrooms, condition and any add-ons such as oven interior or carpet cleaning.
What's included, and what costs extra?
The standard clean covers kitchen (including cabinet interiors and appliance exteriors), bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, floors, interior windows and full dusting. Oven and fridge interiors, carpet and sofa cleaning, and high-access exterior windows are available as add-ons.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
Not necessarily — many move cleans are done with the property empty and access arranged in advance. We'll agree access and a final walkthrough so you can confirm the result before handover.
How long does a move clean take?
It depends on size and condition — a one-bedroom apartment is much quicker than a large villa. We'll give you an expected duration after the walkthrough assessment.
Do you cover all emirates?
Yes — we serve Dubai and all seven emirates as a service-area business. Call +971 50 928 5264 to book your move clean.
