Who it's for

When to book move-out cleaning

Move-out cleaning in Abu Dhabi gets an empty apartment or villa ready for handover — to the landlord, the property manager or the next tenant. Once your belongings and the movers are out, a team works through every room: kitchen degreased inside and out, bathrooms descaled, cupboards and wardrobes wiped inside, skirting, doors and switches cleaned, and floors finished last.

It is booked as a deep clean, so the minimum is 2 cleaners for 3 hours each — AED 260, or AED 260 with our materials, VAT included — where short visits are accepted, and 2 cleaners for the area's shortest visit (4–6 hours) elsewhere. We clean empty homes across Abu Dhabi daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and many customers book it for the day before their final inspection.

Who Books Move-Out Cleaning

  • Tenants leaving a rental who want the property ready for the landlord's inspection
  • Landlords and property managers preparing a unit for the next tenant
  • Owners selling a property who want it clean for viewings or handover
  • Companies handing back staff accommodation at the end of a lease
  • Anyone moving out in a hurry who cannot stay behind to clean

Typical Move-Out Bookings

  • Studio or 1-bedroom apartment

    Usually the minimum of 2 cleaners for 3 hours.

  • 2–3 bedroom apartment

    2 cleaners for 4–5 hours, depending on condition and the number of bathrooms.

  • Townhouse or villa

    Three or four cleaners for 5–7 hours, especially with a majlis, maid's room or several bathrooms.

  • Furnished units

    Possible, but slower — furniture has to be cleaned around rather than behind. Tell us when you book.

How it works

Move-out cleaning, step by step

How a Move-Out Clean Works

  1. 1

    Book for after the movers

    The home should be empty — the team can reach inside every cupboard, behind where furniture stood and every corner of the floor.

  2. 2

    Share the property details

    Bedrooms, bathrooms, balcony, maid's room and any specific points your landlord has raised. Photos help us plan the hours.

  3. 3

    Kitchen and bathrooms in depth

    Inside cabinets, the hob and extractor hood, sink and taps, tiles and grout lines, and limescale on every fixture.

  4. 4

    Every room, top to bottom

    Doors, frames, switches, sockets, window sills and tracks, inside wardrobes, skirting boards and AC vent covers.

  5. 5

    Floors and final check

    Floors are cleaned last, then the team leader walks the property with you or sends photos if you have already left.

Problems we fix

What Landlords Most Often Check

  • Kitchen grease and the extractor hood

    The hood, filters where removable, hob and the wall behind it are degreased — the first place most inspectors look.

  • Limescale in bathrooms

    Taps, shower heads, screens and tiles are descaled; badly etched glass may not return to new, and we will tell you before starting.

  • Marks on walls

    Light scuffs are wiped. Holes, paint touch-ups and repairs are not cleaning — our handyman and painting services can quote for them.

  • Dust in AC vents and on sills

    Vent covers, sills and window tracks are cleaned. If the AC ducts themselves are dusty, AC duct cleaning is a separate service.

Move-Out Cleaning or Move-In Cleaning?

It is the same deep clean of an empty home. Move-out is booked by the leaving tenant or landlord to hand the property back; move-in is booked by the new occupant before unpacking. The checklist and pricing are the same — see Move In / Move Out Cleaning.

Get ready

Before and after the visit

Small things that make the visit faster and the result last longer.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure movers have finished and the property is empty
  • Keep the electricity and water connected until the clean is done
  • Leave keys with the concierge or arrange access if you have already left
  • Share any snag list or photos from your landlord or agent
  • Tell us about parking and loading-bay rules for the building

What the visit needs

A move-out clean needs the property empty, water and power live until the end of the visit, and parking close to the entrance.

How long it takes

A small apartment usually takes the minimum 3 hours with 2 cleaners; a 2–3 bedroom apartment 4–5 hours; a villa most of a day with a larger team. Book it for after the movers leave and, ideally, a day before the inspection so there is time to fix anything the landlord points out.

Before we leave

The team finishes on the points landlords inspect most — oven, extractor, bathroom limescale, wardrobes and floors — and walks through them with you before handing back keys.

How often to book

It is a one-off at the end of a tenancy; booking two or three days before the inspection leaves time to fix anything the landlord raises.

Afterwards

If the landlord raises a cleaning point after inspection, send us the details within 24 hours and we arrange a re-clean of that area. Repairs, repainting and replacing damaged items are outside cleaning, but our maintenance team can quote for them.
