General cleaning in Dubai Marina: an apartment maintenance guide
High-rise living in Dubai Marina has its own cleaning rhythm. Floor-to-ceiling glass shows every mark, fine desert dust settles fast on balconies and sills, and humidity off the water keeps bathrooms working harder than most people expect. A regular general clean keeps all of that under control without turning into a weekend chore.
# What a general clean covers
General cleaning with Servia starts from AED 280 and is the routine, surface-level service most apartments need on a weekly or fortnightly basis:
- Dusting and wiping all reachable surfaces, shelves and skirting
- Vacuuming and mopping floors throughout
- Kitchen worktops, sink and appliance exteriors wiped down
- Bathrooms cleaned and sanitised — basin, WC, shower, mirrors
- Beds made and general tidying
- Bins emptied and liners replaced
It is not the same as a deep clean (from AED 490), which tackles built-up grime, inside appliances, grout and the areas a routine visit doesn't reach. Most Marina apartments do well on regular general cleans with a deep clean two or three times a year.
# Marina-specific problem areas
Glass and mirrors. Tower apartments have a lot of it, and it shows fingerprints and dust quickly. Our team uses a proper glass technique so you don't get streaks in the afternoon light.
Balconies and window tracks. Dust and fine sand collect here faster than anywhere else. Sliding-door tracks in particular need regular clearing or the doors start to grind.
Bathrooms. Coastal humidity encourages mildew around seals and grout. Regular cleaning and good ventilation keep it at bay; if it's already taken hold, a deep clean is the better fix.
# How often should you book?
| Household | Suggested frequency |
|---|---|
| One person, studio or 1-bed | Every 1–2 weeks |
| Couple or small family, 2-bed | Weekly |
| Family or shared apartment, 3-bed+ | Weekly, plus a periodic deep clean |
# Getting the most from each visit
A quick declutter before the team arrives means more of the paid time goes on actual cleaning rather than tidying. Tell us up front if there's a priority — a spotless kitchen for guests, or bathrooms that need extra attention — and we'll focus there.
# FAQ
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment? Yes. Our team arrives with professional products and equipment. If you'd prefer we use your own supplies for any reason, just let us know.
What's the difference between general and deep cleaning? General cleaning maintains an already-clean home. Deep cleaning resets it — inside appliances, grout, build-up and detail work — and is the right first booking if the apartment hasn't been cleaned in a while.
Can I book the same cleaner each time? Where scheduling allows, we keep you with a team that knows your home.
Every clean is delivered by our own trained, background-checked Servia team, with a satisfaction guarantee.
