Questions we get asked

How much does home cleaning cost in Abu Dhabi?

AED 55 for 1 hour, AED 65 for 2 hours, AED 30 an hour for 3–4 hours and AED 25 for each hour after that, per cleaner, when you provide the cleaning products and equipment; our materials add AED 5 per cleaner-hour. Every price already includes 5% VAT, so the figure you see is the figure you pay, with no call-out charge added at the end. A 2-bedroom apartment cleaned by one cleaner for 4 hours is AED 120, or AED 140 with our materials. Regular plans take up to 20% off every visit, and the price is identical on weekends, public holidays and same-day visits.

Is the price per cleaner or for the whole team?

Per cleaner. Each cleaner's visit is priced from the list by its length, so a team of 2 working 3 hours is 2 × AED 90 = AED 180 without materials, or AED 210 with materials. More cleaners finish sooner; and because a longer visit costs less per hour, one cleaner for 6 hours is a little cheaper at AED 170. Most customers still put two cleaners in a two-bedroom apartment so the home is done by lunchtime. You can book between 1 and 4 cleaners on a single visit.

What is the minimum booking?

One hour per cleaner, AED 55. For a whole home, two hours (AED 65) is the realistic shortest visit, and most apartments are booked for two to five hours. Deep cleaning and move-in or move-out cleaning need at least 2 cleaners for 3 hours each (AED 180 without materials), because those jobs cover the inside of cupboards, appliances, skirting boards and bathrooms in detail. The ceiling is 4 cleaners at up to 8 hours each in one visit.

What's included with materials?

Cleaning liquids and sprays, a vacuum cleaner, a mop and bucket, a broom, microfibre cloths and rags, and a step ladder — everything a normal apartment or villa clean needs, carried in by the team. Tall ladders and scaffolding are not included, so exterior windows above ground level and facade work are quoted separately. Choosing materials adds AED 5 per cleaner-hour to the visit price.

If I provide materials, does the team bring anything?

No. Without materials the cleaners arrive with their training and nothing else, so please have your own cleaning products, a working vacuum, a mop and bucket and some cloths ready before the visit starts. If something essential is missing the team cannot substitute it on the day, and the booked hours still run. If you would rather not keep supplies at home, book with materials (AED 5 more per cleaner-hour) and we bring the full kit.

Is there a travel fee?

There is no travel fee in the 18 areas we serve across Abu Dhabi, including Al Reem Island, Khalifa City, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Musaffah, Al Shamkha and Al Reef. Al Wathba, Al Shahama, Al Rahba and Al Samha carry a flat AED 20 charge per visit, added once no matter how many cleaners or hours you book. If your community appears on neither list, call us and we will confirm coverage before you commit to anything.

Do you charge extra for same-day, Fridays or holidays?

No. Same-day bookings, Fridays, weekends and public holidays are all charged at the standard rate, with no call-out fee and no peak pricing of any kind. We work daily from 08:00 to 20:00, and the only scheduling rule is that the work has to finish by closing time, so a long job simply needs an earlier start. Same-day visits need roughly 2 hours of notice for the team to reach you.

What if the job finishes early or takes longer?

You pay for the hours you booked. If the team finishes the agreed scope early, they stay for the remaining time and spend it on anything else you would like done — windows, a balcony, the inside of the fridge. If the property needs longer, the team leader asks you first, and the extra time is charged as the difference to the longer visit on the price list, in 30-minute steps. Nothing is ever added to your bill without your approval.

Do weekly or monthly plans cost less?

Yes. Regular visits cost less: 10% off every two weeks, 15% off weekly and 20% off for two or more visits a week (5% monthly). The discount comes off every visit and is rounded down to a whole dirham, so a weekly 2-hour visit is AED 55 instead of AED 65. There is no contract, no membership fee and no paying ahead for future visits, and any visit can be paused, moved or cancelled under the normal policy. Regular customers also keep the same cleaners wherever possible and a slot held each week.

How do I pay?

By card, online, after we confirm your booking. You send a request with nothing to pay; once we confirm it you pay from My bookings, on Nomod's secure payment page — we never see your card details. Jobs priced after photos (fabric care, AC ducts, repairs) are priced by the team first. Jobs of AED 1,000 or more take a 30% advance once confirmed and the balance online before the visit (a visit less than 24 hours away is paid in full, in one payment). The team comes once the visit is paid. There is no cash, card-on-site or bank-transfer option. All prices include 5% VAT, and a receipt for your booking can be printed or saved from My bookings.
