A deep cleaning goes far beyond a normal weekly clean. It reaches the places that collect dust, grease and sand over months – inside cupboards, behind appliances, along skirting boards, on window tracks and in bathroom grout. In Qatar, where fine dust gets into every corner and air conditioners run all year, most homes need a deep clean two to four times a year. This guide explains what a deep clean with Carla Maid includes, how many hours and cleaners you need, what it costs and how to get your home ready.

Deep Cleaning vs Regular Cleaning
A regular clean keeps your home tidy week to week: dusting surfaces, wiping the kitchen and bathrooms, vacuuming and mopping floors. A deep clean takes longer because it also cleans the hidden and hard-to-reach areas that a weekly visit does not have time for.
- Regular clean – visible surfaces, floors, kitchen counters, bathrooms, beds
- Deep clean – everything above, plus inside cupboards and appliances, behind and under furniture, doors and frames, window tracks, tiles and grout, light switches and vents
What Is Included in a Deep Clean
Kitchen
- Degreasing the hob, extractor hood and backsplash tiles
- Cleaning the outside and inside of the fridge and microwave
- Wiping cupboard doors, handles and the inside of empty cupboards
- Descaling the sink and taps
Bathrooms
- Removing limescale from taps, shower glass and tiles
- Scrubbing tile grout, the toilet, the base and behind it
- Cleaning mirrors, cabinets and the floor drain
Bedrooms and living areas
- Dusting high places – tops of wardrobes, curtain rails, AC grilles and light fittings
- Wiping doors, frames, skirting boards and switches
- Vacuuming and mopping under and behind furniture you can move
- Cleaning inside windows and the window tracks where sand collects
How Many Hours and Cleaners Do You Need?
The time depends on the size of the home and how long it has been since the last deep clean. As a simple guide for a home in normal condition:
- Studio or 1-bedroom apartment – 1 cleaner for 4 hours
- 2–3 bedroom apartment – 2 cleaners for 4 hours, or 1 cleaner for 8 hours
- Villa – 2–3 cleaners for 8 hours
- After moving or renovation – add one more cleaner, as there is usually more dust
More cleaners finish the same work faster, so you can choose what suits your day. If you are not sure, message us a few photos on WhatsApp and we will suggest the right number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I deep clean my home in Qatar?
Most homes need a deep clean every 3 to 6 months. With pets, small children or a lot of dust from nearby construction, every 2 to 3 months is better.
Do you bring the cleaning materials?
Yes, if you choose “Bring materials” when you book (35 QAR per hour per cleaner). Otherwise our cleaner uses your products and equipment.
Can you deep clean after moving out or a renovation?
Yes. For a handover clean, see our deep cleaning service and the move-out checklist, and book one extra cleaner because there is usually more dust.
Which days do you work?
Cleaning visits run Saturday to Thursday, with start times from 8:30 am. You can book online any time, and we answer calls and WhatsApp from 7 am to 10 pm.
