An hourly cleaner, a full clean before moving in, or a villa? Before you book, read this: what to decide first, which kind of clean suits you, and the questions that save you from surprises.
Decide these before you contact anyone. The price will be clearer and the visit more useful.
The number of rooms and bathrooms, and whether there's ironing, laundry or windows. All of it changes the time and price.
Check what cleaning products and tools you have. If you don't have them, you'll need to ask the company to bring them.
Decide which you prefer, and how many people you need.
Pick the day and time, and ask whether evenings or Fridays cost more.
Most problems come from something that wasn't agreed at the start.
Usually the hours, or the priorities, weren't agreed. Say at the start what must get done.
If nobody agreed who brings materials, the visit is spent waiting or shopping.
An evening, Friday or extra-hour charge nobody mentioned. Get the full price in writing.
High windows and building fronts need equipment and safety gear. Not a job for a normal hourly cleaner.
Steam or wash cleaning of sofas and carpets needs time to dry. Ask how long before you book.
Fine dust everywhere plus paint and gypsum marks. Needs special tools and usually costs more.
Each kind takes a different time and price. Pick the one that suits you before you book.
An hourly cleaner every week or two. Right for a lived-in home that needs tidying, mopping, bathrooms and kitchen.
Once or twice a year: cupboards, walls, windows, inside the kitchen units. Takes longer or needs more than one cleaner.
An empty flat: dust, paint marks, bathrooms and kitchen. Ask whether windows and the balcony are included.
Fine dust plus paint and gypsum marks. Needs special tools and usually costs more.
Usually a separate service with steam or washing machines. Ask how long it takes to dry.
High windows and building fronts need equipment and safety gear. Not a normal hourly cleaner's job.
If floors and tables are clear, the time goes on cleaning, not tidying.
Tell the cleaner your priorities (kitchen, bathrooms) so the important bits are done if time runs out.
A deep clean every few months, and weekly visits for everyday cleaning.
Put jewellery and important papers somewhere locked before any visit.
Ask before you confirm the booking. A good company won't mind.
Agree the hours and the price in writing, and whether evenings or Fridays cost more.
Do you bring materials and tools, or do I? Does that cost extra?
Female or male cleaners, and how many people.
Windows? The balcony? Inside the kitchen units? Ironing? Get it in writing.
Ask before the visit, not after.
Agree that you'll check the home together before they go, so anything missed can be finished.
Look at genuine reviews, and ask neighbours or family about their experience.
One sign on its own doesn't prove anything, but take care if you see them.
If they won't write down the price and the number of hours before booking, think twice.
New charges nobody mentioned. Ask for the full price at the start.
Or how many people. You have a right to know before the visit.
And won't finish what was missed. Agree this at the start.
Rough prices. Use them to spot a quote that's way off, not as fixed prices. They depend on the size of the home, the type of clean, and whether you or the company supply the materials.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Hourly cleaner (4-hour visit) | SAR 120 – 180 |
| Extra hour | About SAR 50 |
| Small or medium apartment (one-off clean) | SAR 250 – 600 |
| Villa clean | From about SAR 800 |
| Cleaning materials from the company | SAR 30 – 50 extra |
💡 Monthly packages (a visit every week, say) usually work out cheaper than booking each visit separately.
🧽 Hourly prices usually don't include materials. If you don't have them, ask the company to bring them and check the price.
