Cleaning Prices in Abu Dhabi (2026): Hourly Maid, Deep Clean, Villa & More

Short answer: cleaning in Abu Dhabi starts from about AED 30 an hour for a maid, from AED 199 for a fixed-price studio clean, and from AED 699 for a villa. The final price depends on the size and condition of the property, where in Abu Dhabi it is, how easy access is, and which extras you add. Below are our published starting prices, what moves them, and how to compare quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Prices in this guide were checked on 22 September 2026. They are starting prices, not final quotes. Your written quote is what applies.

Price snapshot: what cleaning costs in Abu Dhabi

This table shows the starting price for each service, taken from our service catalogue, and what usually decides where your price lands.

Offices, restaurants and showrooms are quoted by floor area and how often you need us, so they are not in this table. See our office cleaning and restaurant cleaning pages.

Hourly maid rates by zone

Hourly booking suits routine cleaning, ironing, tidying and mixed task lists. The rate depends on how many hours you book and which zone the property is in. Zone 1 is inside Abu Dhabi city (for example Downtown, Al Reem Island, Al Bateen, Al Khalidiyah, Al Danah, Al Mushrif and Al Muroor). Zone 2 covers areas such as Khalifa City, MBZ City, Al Raha, Yas Island, Al Shamkha, Shakhbout City and Baniyas. Zone 3 covers farther areas such as Al Shahama, Al Rahba, Al Samha, Al Shalila, Madinat Al Riyadh and Al Wathba.

Two things stand out in this table. First, longer bookings cost less per hour: in Zone 1 a 2-hour visit works out at AED 35 an hour, while a 4-hour visit works out at AED 30an hour. Second, on longer bookings the cleaning materials are included; where a figure shows a price “with materials”, that is what materials add to a shorter booking.

If your to-do list is longer than two hours, book four. It is usually cheaper per hour, and it removes the rushed feeling of trying to fit the kitchen, bathrooms and floors into a short slot.

Fixed-price deep cleaning by property size

Deep cleaning is priced as a package, because the work is defined by the property rather than by the clock: kitchen degreasing, bathroom limescale, floors, interior windows and the areas a routine clean skips. These are our starting prices by property size.

The crew size and time are guides, and they change with the condition of the property. Heavy grease, old limescale or a long time since the last deep clean can add hours. Our online calculator also lists an intensive kitchen and grout step (AED 50) as its own line, so check the itemised total before you confirm.

Sofa, carpet, mattress and other add-ons

Upholstery and specialist jobs can be booked on their own or added to a clean, and one visit is usually simpler than several. These are the add-on starting prices used in our booking calculator.

A single sofa or rug is a small job; a large L-shaped sofa, a majlis or several rugs is not, and the price rises with the number of seats, the area and the fabric. Photos of the item and its care label let us confirm a price without a visit. For results and limits, read our sofa and carpet cleaning guide.

What changes the price

Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can get different quotes. These are the factors that make the difference:

• Size: bedrooms, bathrooms, storeys and the size of the kitchen.
• Condition: how long since the last deep clean, and how much grease, limescale, dust or sand has built up.
• Location: which zone the property is in, because farther areas mean more travel for the crew.
• Access: parking, permits, service lifts, gate passes and long carry distances can add time.
• Materials: whether the crew brings products and equipment, or uses yours.
• Add-ons: balconies, ovens, upholstery, carpets, curtains and AC ducts.
• Timing: bookings for a specific day or time slot, and how far ahead you book.
• Frequency: regular visits are easier to plan than a one-off.
• Surfaces: natural stone, delicate fabrics and specialist finishes need more care.

Worked examples

These examples use the starting prices above. They show how the numbers combine, but your actual quote may be higher or lower.

1. 1Routine tidy of a 1-bedroom apartment in Al Reem Island (Zone 1): a 4-hour maid visit is AED 120, or AED 130 if the crew brings the materials.
2. 2The same visit in Khalifa City (Zone 2): a 4-hour maid visit is AED 140, with materials included.
3. 3Deep clean of a 2-bedroom apartment: from AED 399, plus AED 50 if the calculator's intensive kitchen and grout step is added, so AED 449.
4. 4Deep clean of a 3-bedroom villa: from AED 699, before any add-ons or outdoor areas.
5. 5Deep clean of a 1-bedroom apartment plus a sofa and a mattress: AED 299 + AED 149 + AED 120 = AED 568 at starting prices.

How to compare quotes fairly

A low number is only a good deal if you are comparing the same job. Before you accept any cleaning quote, from us or anyone else, ask:

• What exactly is included? Ask for the rooms and tasks in writing.
• Are cleaning materials and equipment included, or charged separately?
• Is there a minimum booking length? Many hourly services start at two hours.
• How many cleaners will come, and for how long?
• Does the price include VAT, or is it added afterwards?
• Are there extra charges for travel to my area, parking or access?
• What happens if something is missed? Ask about re-clean terms and the reporting window.
• How and when do I pay? Cash or card on arrival, or in advance?

Our own terms are on the refund and cancellation policy page: cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your appointment, and report a missed area within 24 hours for a free re-clean. For a wider checklist, see how to choose a cleaning company in Abu Dhabi.

Pricing FAQs

Is the hourly rate the final price?

It is the rate for the hours and zone you book. The final price can change if you add tasks, need materials for a short booking, or the property has access constraints, and we confirm any change before the visit.

Is it cheaper to book hourly or fixed price?

Hourly usually works better for routine cleaning where you choose the tasks. A fixed package usually works better for deep cleaning, where the scope is defined by the property and the time depends on its condition. If you are unsure, send photos and we will recommend one.

Why do prices differ between areas?

Areas outside the city are priced in higher zones because of the extra travel for the crew. The zone lists on our pricing page show where each area falls, and you can check yours on our areas we cover page.

Do I pay in advance?

No. Payment is by cash after the service or by card on arrival. We do not take online card payments through this website.

Does the price include VAT?

Ask for the quote to state whether VAT applies to your booking, and confirm it before the visit.

Can I move or cancel a booking?

Yes. You can reschedule or cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. See the refund and cancellation policy.
