What's Included in a House Cleaning Visit
A standard house cleaning visit runs three hours for an average two-bedroom home. Scope is confirmed at booking and adjusted to your property:
Living Areas & Bedrooms
Dusting of all reachable surfaces, shelves, side tables and window sills. Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and upholstery surfaces. Mopping of tile, marble and wood floors. Skirting boards wiped. Mirrors and interior glass cleaned. Beds made and linen changed where fresh linen is provided. Light switches, door handles and remote controls wiped down.
Kitchen
Worktops, splashbacks and sink cleaned and degreased. Exterior of all appliances wiped, including fridge, oven, microwave and dishwasher fronts. Hob cleaned. Cupboard doors wiped down. Floor swept and mopped. Bins emptied and liners replaced. Extractor hood exterior cleaned.
Bathrooms
Toilet, basin, bath and shower cleaned and disinfected. Taps and fittings descaled — Qatar's hard water leaves limescale quickly, so this is done every visit rather than occasionally. Mirrors polished. Tiles and grout lines wiped. Floors mopped. Bins emptied. Towels folded or replaced where fresh ones are provided.
Throughout the Property
Dust removal from accessible AC vents and grilles, which matters more in Qatar than most markets — fine desert dust builds up in vents fast, especially after a shamal. Cobweb removal from reachable corners. All rubbish collected and taken to the building or compound disposal point.
What's Not Included (Exclusions)
Being clear on this up front saves disputes later. These sit outside a standard house cleaning visit and are quoted separately:
- • Deep cleaning of built-up grease, scale or neglected areas — that is a deep cleaning visit
- • Interior oven, fridge or freezer cleaning (available as an add-on)
- • Carpet shampooing or extraction — see carpet cleaning
- • Sofa and upholstery washing — see sofa cleaning
- • Exterior window cleaning above ground floor
- • Anything requiring a ladder above standard reach
- • Moving heavy furniture or appliances
- • Laundry and ironing, unless booked as laundry and ironing
- • Post-construction dust and debris — see post-construction cleaning

How It Works
1. Tell us the property
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the district. Takes under a minute online or on WhatsApp.
2. Confirm the slot
We give you a fixed arrival window, not a vague half-day. Same-day slots are usually available in central Doha.
3. Team arrives with everything
Equipment, cleaning products and protective covers. Eco-friendly products on request at no extra cost.
4. You check the work
Inspect before they leave. If something has been missed, say so and it gets done on the spot.
Who This Is For
Working families in compound villas
Ain Khaled, Abu Hamour and Al Waab compounds where nobody has three free hours on a Friday. Weekly visits keep on top of dust without anyone thinking about it.
Tower apartment residents in West Bay, Lusail and The Pearl
High-rise flats collect dust through balconies and AC systems faster than people expect. A fortnightly visit is usually enough.
Villa owners in Al Rayyan, Umm Salal and Al Daayen
Larger properties where a regular team who already knows the house is worth more than a cheaper one-off.
Anyone hosting
Before Eid, before a majlis gathering, before family arrive from abroad. Book a one-off visit two days ahead.
House Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning
The two get confused constantly, and booking the wrong one wastes money.
| Metric | House cleaning | Deep cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Keeping a lived-in home tidy | Resetting a home that has fallen behind |
| Frequency | Weekly, fortnightly or monthly | Two to four times a year |
| Duration | 2–3 hours | 6 hours or more |
| Kitchen | Surfaces and appliance exteriors | Degreasing, inside appliances, extractor |
| Bathrooms | Cleaned and disinfected | Descaled, grout treated |
| From Rate | QAR 120 | QAR 450 |
If you have never had the property professionally cleaned, start with one deep clean, then move onto a regular house cleaning schedule. It costs less over a year than repeatedly booking standard visits that cannot shift built-up residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does house cleaning cost in Qatar?
House cleaning starts from QAR 120 for a studio or one-bedroom apartment and QAR 150 for a two- to three-bedroom home. Hourly maid service is QAR 35 per hour. Villas and larger properties are quoted on size. Recurring weekly and monthly bookings are charged below the one-off rate.
2. How long does a house cleaning visit take?
A standard visit is three hours for an average two- to three-bedroom home. A studio or one-bedroom apartment usually takes two hours. Villas take longer depending on size and how many bathrooms there are. The duration is confirmed when you book.
3. Do I need to provide cleaning equipment or products?
No. The team arrives with all equipment and cleaning supplies at no extra charge. Eco-friendly, non-toxic products are available on request, which most families with young children or pets prefer. If you would rather they use your own products, that is fine too.
4. Can I get the same cleaner every visit?
Yes, on recurring weekly or monthly bookings. Keeping the same team matters more than people expect — they learn the property, know which surfaces need what, and get through the work faster. For one-off bookings the team assigned depends on availability.
5. Are female cleaners available?
Yes. Female cleaning staff can be requested when booking, at no additional cost. Many households in Qatar prefer this and we schedule for it as standard rather than treating it as a special arrangement. Please request it at the time of booking so the right team is assigned.
6. Do I have to be at home during the cleaning?
No. Many clients give building access or leave a key with a watchman or concierge. Others prefer to be present for the first visit and leave the team to it afterwards. Whichever you choose, the team will confirm arrival and completion by phone or WhatsApp.
7. Which areas of Qatar do you cover?
Doha and all major cities, including West Bay, Al Sadd, Abu Hamour, Ain Khaled, Madinat Khalifa, Al Waab, Muaither, plus Lusail, The Pearl, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, Umm Salal, Al Daayen, Al Khor and Mesaieed. Same-day slots are usually available in central Doha districts.
8. What is the difference between house cleaning and deep cleaning?
House cleaning is routine upkeep for a home that is already maintained — dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen surfaces and bathrooms, in about three hours. Deep cleaning is a longer, more detailed visit that tackles built-up grease, limescale and neglected areas, and starts from QAR 450.
