Move in move out cleaning in Dubai Hills, Al Furjan and Arjan
Elite Maids provides move in move out cleaning in Dubai, with regular bookings from Dubai Hills, Al Furjan and Arjan. The service is designed around what Dubai landlords and property managers check at handover, covering every cabinet, appliance, wall mark, window and balcony corner.
Pricing starts from AED 359 for a studio, AED 449 for a one-bedroom, AED 549 for a two-bedroom, and AED 699 for a three-bedroom apartment, with villas quoted individually based on size. The full checklist includes inside-and-outside cleaning of kitchen cabinets, ovens, fridges and splashbacks; a deep scrub of bathrooms and fixtures; wardrobe interiors and wall marks in bedrooms and living areas; windows, tracks and balconies; and full floor and AC vent cleaning. Sofa, carpet, mattress and floor-polishing add-ons are available for a complete refresh.
A professional move-out clean helps protect a rental deposit and meet RERA inspection standards, while a move-in clean ensures a new home is sanitised before furniture and family arrive. Customers do not need to be present, since all cleaners are background-checked and company-employed, and every booking includes AED 1,000 damage protection.
Homes in Dubai Hills, Al Furjan, Arjan and other Dubai communities can book online or via WhatsApp, with confirmation typically sent within 30 minutes and same-day slots available depending on demand.

Why move-out cleaning is essential in Dubai
Dubai’s rental market has strict handover standards. A professional clean is the difference between getting your deposit back and losing it.
-
01
Protect your security deposit
Cleaning is the most common reason deposits are withheld in Dubai. A professional clean documented by Elite Maids gives you a strong case if any dispute arises.
-
02
Meet RERA inspection standards
Our checklist is designed around what Dubai property managers actually inspect — from inside cabinets to AC vents and balcony corners.
-
03
Save time during a stressful move
Moving is already overwhelming. Hand the cleaning to us and focus on everything else. We work around your schedule, including weekends and same-day.
-
04
Start fresh in your new home
Even if the previous tenant cleaned, it may not be truly hygienic. A move-in clean sanitises every surface the last occupant used — inside the wardrobes and fridge before you stock them, the AC vents that have been circulating someone else’s dust, the water outlets, the bathroom fixtures — before your furniture and family arrive. You move into a home that is clean by your standard, not theirs.
Move-out or move-in?
Same checklist, same price, different purpose. Pick the one that matches your side of the handover.
Move-out cleaning: pass the inspection
The property is emptied and cleaned to the handover checklist: cabinets and wardrobes inside and out, oven and fridge, limescale off every tap and shower screen, wall marks, window tracks, balcony, AC vents. You get an empty, sanitised property and a clean the landlord or property manager can inspect without finding anything — and if they do, we come back at no cost.
Move-in cleaning: start with a clean slate
Booked for the day before your furniture arrives. The same checklist, ordered for a new occupant: every surface the previous tenant used is sanitised, the inside of wardrobes, kitchen cupboards and the fridge are cleaned before you stock them, AC vents are cleared of the old dust, water outlets and drains are flushed and descaled, and bathrooms are disinfected. Then the movers come in.

Leave a key
You do not need to be home
Most customers leave a key or access card with building security and come back to an inspection-ready property. Every cleaner is background-checked and directly employed by Elite Maids, and every booking carries AED 1,000 damage cover. If anything on the checklist is missed, tell us within 24 hours and we return to re-clean at no cost.
Areas we cover in Dubai
We provide move-in and move-out cleaning across all major Dubai areas, with regular bookings from Dubai Hills, Al Furjan and Arjan — the three communities where tenancies turn over most, and where family apartments and villas need two cleaners to finish the checklist in a day.
In the tower districts — Marina, Downtown, Business Bay, JLT — building access is quick and same-day slots are usually available if you message before noon. Villa communities such as Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills are better booked a day ahead so we can send a team of two or three.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking a move-in or move-out clean.
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Dubai?
From AED 359 for a studio. A one-bedroom apartment starts from AED 449, a two-bedroom from AED 549 and a three-bedroom from AED 699, all inclusive of VAT and materials. Villas are quoted individually — call or WhatsApp for a free quote.
How long does a move-out clean take?
A studio takes 3–4 hours, a one-bedroom 4–5, a two-bedroom 5–7 and a three-bedroom 7–9. Larger properties take a full day with two or three cleaners. We give you an estimated duration when you book.
Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
No. Most customers leave a key or building access card and return to a spotless home. All cleaners are background-checked and company-employed — not freelancers — and you are covered up to AED 1,000 for any accidental damage.
Can you do same-day move-out cleaning in Dubai?
Yes, subject to availability. With a large team across Dubai we can often take same-day bookings if you call or WhatsApp before noon.
Do you bring cleaning materials and equipment?
Yes. Industrial vacuums, steam cleaners and eco-friendly products all come with the team. You do not need to provide anything.
Will the clean pass my landlord’s inspection?
The checklist is built around what Dubai landlords and property managers inspect — inside cabinets, oven, fridge, AC vents, wall marks, windows and balconies. If anything is missed, we return and re-clean at no extra cost.
Is move-out cleaning the same as end-of-tenancy cleaning?
Yes. Move-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning are the same service: a full deep clean to prepare the property for handover and pass inspection.
What is the difference between move-in and move-out cleaning?
The checklist and the price are the same. A move-out clean is done after your furniture has gone and is ordered around what the landlord inspects. A move-in clean is done the day before your furniture arrives and is ordered around you: surfaces the previous tenant used are sanitised, cupboards, wardrobes and the fridge are cleaned before you stock them, and AC vents and water outlets are cleared.
Ready to book your move-out clean?
Same-day available across most of Dubai, from AED 359, with AED 1,000 damage cover and a free re-clean if the inspection finds anything.
