The short answer
Your home, your interval
| Your home | Recommended deep clean |
|---|---|
| Apartment with weekly professional cleaning | Every 6 months |
| Apartment cleaned by the household only | Every 3–4 months |
| Villa, or a home with a large balcony, terrace or garden | Every 3–4 months |
| Home with pets or young children | Every 3 months |
| Holiday home with regular turnovers | Every 3 months, ideally between seasons |
| Home that's been empty for the summer | Before you move back in |
Dust, AC and humidity
- Fine dust gets in with the windows shut. It settles on ledges, frames, skirting and the tops of cabinets, and builds up behind furniture that never moves.
- The AC runs most of the year. Grilles and vents collect dust and push it back into the room.
- Limescale builds quickly on shower glass, taps and kettles.
- Summer humidity encourages mould in grout, silicone and on balconies.
None of this shows up in a week. All of it shows up in six months.
Seven signs it's time
- The grout is a shade or two darker than it used to be.
- The extractor hood feels sticky.
- The shower glass stays cloudy after a wipe.
- There's visible dust on the AC grilles.
- You find dust when you move the sofa or the bed.
- The fridge or the drains have a smell that comes back.
- You can't remember the last deep clean.
Two or more ticked? It's time.
Clean for the moment, not just the calendar
- Moving in or out. An empty home is the best chance to reach everything. Move-in vs move-out guide →
- After painting, repairs or renovation. Work dust settles everywhere.
- Before family or guests arrive. Book it a few days ahead so the home stays settled.
- After a summer away. A closed-up home gathers dust and stale air.
- Holiday homes, between seasons. A deep reset before the busy season keeps reviews strong.

FAQ
How often should I deep clean my apartment in Dubai?
Every three to six months for most apartments. Closer to six months if it's cleaned professionally every week, closer to three if it isn't.
Is once a year enough?
For most Dubai homes, no. Dust, AC use and limescale build up faster than that, and a year's build-up takes longer, and costs more, to remove.
Does weekly cleaning replace a deep clean?
No. Weekly cleaning maintains what's visible. A deep clean reaches inside cabinets and appliances, behind furniture and into grout.
How often should a holiday home be deep cleaned?
Every three months, ideally between seasons. Turnovers keep each stay guest-ready; a deep clean resets what turnovers don't reach.
What's the best time of year?
Before and after the summer are popular: before, because the AC is about to run hard; after, because a summer of AC and humidity leaves its mark.
How long does a deep clean take?
It depends on the layout and condition. Your quote confirms the team size and how long we'll need.
