Household services: say what exactly you’re looking for

Household services in the UAE

Updated 2 November 2026

Household services in the UAE usually cost from about AED 30 an hour for a standard cleaner, from AED 80 for a studio or one-bedroom home clean, and from about AED 490 for a full deep clean. The range below comes from several sellers' websites, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote. For a price on your exact job, send a request on BlaBlaPrice; it is free for buyers.

Licences and what to check before booking

A company doing cleaning on the mainland needs a cleaning services licence, and consultants' guides put setting one up at anything from about AED 8,000 to AED 50,000. Ask any firm for its trade licence number before you let anyone into your home. Some providers quote prices that include 5% VAT and a separate service fee, so compare the total you will pay, not the headline price.

Season and the desert climate

Summers are very hot from May to September, which makes dust and insects a bigger problem indoors, so plan pest treatment before the heat peaks. The mild winter from November to March is the most comfortable time for a deep clean or a handyman visit, when windows and balconies can stay open without the heat.

How it is bought here

Cleaners are usually priced per hour, while full and deep cleans are quoted per home, and the number of bedrooms decides which price band applies. Say which city the job is in: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain are spread across a wide area, and travel to the address may change the price. Ask whether supplies and travel are included before you agree.

What to put in your request

Give the service, the number of bedrooms or the size of the home, the city, the date you need it, and whether it is a one-off or a regular visit. Add your budget in AED and say whether you want the cleaner to bring supplies. A studio in Sharjah and a 3-bedroom villa in Abu Dhabi are different jobs, so the more precise your request, the easier the replies are to compare.
