What Is Deep Cleaning and Why Does It Cost More?

Deep cleaning goes significantly beyond your regular weekly cleaning service.

Think of regular cleaning as maintaining surface cleanliness, while deep cleaning addresses those hidden, forgotten, or hard-to-reach areas where dirt, grime, and bacteria accumulate over time.

Unlike regular cleaning, deep cleaning targets:

• Hidden areas that routine cleaning typically doesn't reach

• Stubborn grime and dirt that builds up over months

• Areas requiring specialized equipment to properly clean

• Thorough sanitization of high-touch surfaces that harbor bacteria

There are several key reasons why deep cleaning commands a higher price than standard cleaning services:

Time Investment

While regular cleaning of an average apartment might take 2-3 hours, a proper deep clean of the same space often requires 4-6 hours of intensive work.

Deep cleaning involves moving furniture, accessing difficult areas, and meticulously treating every surface. This thorough approach requires significantly more time to execute properly.

Specialized Equipment

Professional deep cleaning requires commercial-grade equipment and specialized cleaning solutions that effectively remove stubborn dirt and properly sanitize surfaces. This professional equipment represents a substantial investment compared to standard cleaning tools.

Professional Expertise

Effective deep cleaning requires trained professionals who understand where dirt accumulates and how to remove it without damaging surfaces. This expertise ensures comprehensive cleaning of often-overlooked areas while protecting your property.

Comprehensive Service Scope

Deep cleaning includes many tasks that regular cleaning services don't cover:

• Cleaning inside appliances, including ovens and refrigerators

• Detailed bathroom sanitization

• Complete kitchen degreasing, including hoods and behind appliances

• Washing walls and baseboards

• Cleaning light fixtures and ceiling fans

• Scrubbing window tracks and frames

• Sanitizing high-touch areas throughout the home

This expanded scope requires more time, expertise, and specialized products – all contributing factors to the higher cost of deep cleaning services.

What's Included in a Professional Deep Cleaning Service?

Understanding exactly what you're paying for is essential when booking a deep cleaning service. 

Here's what quality deep cleaning in Dubai should include, based on what we provide at ShineOn:

Hallways and Corridors

Hallways and corridors are high-traffic areas that require special attention during deep cleaning.

Our hallway and corridor deep cleaning includes:

• Dusting: We dust all reachable surfaces, including railings, ledges, and decorative items, ensuring that passageways are free from dust accumulation.

• Spot Cleaning: Visible fingerprints, smudges, and minor stains on walls, light switches, and doors are cleaned thoroughly.

• AC Grills Cleaning: The exterior of AC grills is dusted, wiped, and disinfected to remove dust and maintain cleanliness and air quality.

• Mold Removal: We inspect and treat mold-affected areas around door frames and windows to eliminate mold and improve air quality. 

Entryways

Entryways create first impressions and collect dirt from outside, making them important focus areas during deep cleaning.

Our entryway deep cleaning includes:

• Dusting and Wiping: All reachable surfaces such as entryway tables and decorative items are dusted. Door handles and other high-touch areas are wiped down and disinfected for cleanliness.

• Floor Cleaning: Entryway floors are swept and mopped to remove dirt and debris brought in from outside.

Our balcony deep cleaning includes:

• Balcony Floor Cleaning: We sweep, wash, and mop the balcony floor to remove dust, dirt, and other debris, ensuring a tidy outdoor space.

• Interior Window Cleaning (up to 3m high): Accessible glass surfaces and the interior of balcony windows and doors are cleaned for a clear and spotless appearance.

What's Typically NOT Included in Deep Cleaning

Understanding these exclusions helps you budget appropriately and avoid surprises.

Services that are typically NOT included in standard deep cleaning:

• Exterior window cleaning

• Laundry cleaning

• Moving extremely heavy furniture or appliances

• Specialized treatment for delicate items

• Full carpet shampooing or steam cleaning (offered as an add-on service)

• Sofa and upholstery cleaning (offered as an add-on service)

• Chandelier cleaning

At ShineOn, we're transparent about what's included in our standard service. 

If you need these additional services, we provide them at clearly communicated additional costs, and often offer package discounts when booking multiple services together.

Budget vs. Premium Deep Cleaning: The Red Flags

Dubai's cleaning market features a wide price spectrum – from suspiciously inexpensive to premium-priced services. 

Understanding the differences helps you make an informed decision based on value rather than just price.

Warning Signs of Unusually Low Prices

If a deep cleaning quote seems substantially below market averages, approach with caution. 

These unusually low rates often indicate compromises that affect both service quality and ethical business practices:

• Questionable employment practices: Ultra-low rates frequently mean underpaid workers without proper training, documentation, or benefits. In Dubai's competitive cleaning market, some companies unfortunately cut corners by exploiting vulnerable workers.

• Hidden charges: Attractive initial quotes often come with numerous "extra" charges once work begins. You might be quoted 199 AED for a studio apartment, only to find an additional 200 AED in "special cleaning fees" added to your final bill.

• Time constraints: Workers are often given unrealistically tight timeframes, leading to rushed service and overlooked areas. A proper deep clean for a 1-bedroom apartment takes 4+ hours, not the 2 hours that budget services might allocate.

• Inadequate insurance: Budget companies frequently lack proper liability insurance. If something gets damaged, you'll have no recourse for compensation.

The ShineOn Difference

At ShineOn, our pricing reflects our commitment to service excellence:

• Fair employment: We provide proper wages, benefits, proper visa sponsorship and training for all team members, ensuring they can deliver their best work in your home.

• In-house trained & vetted staff:  Our team is carefully selected to provide the highest standards of service, with staff known for their professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.

• Transparent pricing: Our quotes include all materials and labor with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

• Quality cleaning materials: We use premium, professional-grade products that deliver superior results without compromising the safety of you or your pets.

• Appropriate time allocation: We schedule realistic timeframes for each property type, ensuring thorough cleaning without rushing.

• Comprehensive insurance: We maintain full liability coverage for your property's protection and peace of mind.

When comparing deep cleaning services, consider quality, reliability, and business ethics alongside price. 

The true value lies in thorough, professional service that delivers lasting results – and peace of mind! 

How to Save Money on Deep Cleaning Without Sacrificing Quality

Quality deep cleaning is an investment, but several strategies can help maximize value without compromising results.

Book a Cleaning Package

One of the most effective ways to reduce deep cleaning costs is committing to a regular schedule through a cleaning package. 

This approach benefits both the cleaning company through better resource planning and you through preferential pricing.

At ShineOn, we offer substantial savings through our cleaning packages:

• Furniture Deep Cleaning Bundle: Get 30% off of furniture cleaning services when you add 3 or more furniture items (sofas, mattresses, carpets) to your deep cleaning service

• AC + Deep Cleaning Combo: Add AC duct cleaning to your deep cleaning service and receive an additional 10% off of your AC cleaning, on top of any other existing AC-cleaning discounts.

• Complete Home Refresh: Combine deep cleaning with both furniture cleaning and AC services for maximum savings

These packages provide benefits beyond cost savings, including consistent service from the same cleaning team who understands your home's specific needs and priority scheduling during peak seasons.

Strategic Scheduling and Preparation

When and how you schedule your deep cleaning can significantly impact pricing. Being flexible with timing and preparing your space properly will maximize your cleaning investment.

For the best value:

• Book during off-peak seasons: In Dubai, July-August and January-February typically have lower demand and may feature promotional pricing.

• Choose weekend appointments: Weekday cleaning services are more busy and often carry premium rates.

• Declutter before service: Clear surfaces and floors allow cleaners to focus on actual cleaning rather than organizing belongings.

• Communicate priorities: Identifying specific concerns ensures they receive appropriate attention without wasting time on less important areas.

At ShineOn, we appreciate clients who book early in the morning (8am is the earliest time), to allow maximum time to complete your work. 

We are flexible either way, but this efficiency often allows us to deliver more thorough cleaning within the scheduled time.

Service Bundling and Maintenance

Combining services and maintaining proper cleaning between deep cleaning visits are two of the most cost-effective strategies available.

Consider these approaches:

• Combine services: Add carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, or window cleaning to your deep cleaning service for package discounts of 10% or higher. (see package deals above!)

• Implement regular cleaning: Establish a weekly cleaning routine to prevent buildup requiring intensive treatment. (Premium General Cleaning packages are available)

• Address spills promptly: Immediate attention prevents stains from setting and becoming harder to remove.

• Focus on high-traffic areas: Regular attention to frequently used spaces prevents rapid buildup.

Many ShineOn clients combine bi-annual deep cleaning with monthly or bi-weekly regular cleaning services, creating an optimal balance of home cleanliness and cost management.
