Move-In Cleaning in Dubai
Al-Rahim Technical Services provides move-in cleaning in Dubai — a thorough clean that reaches the build-up routine cleaning leaves behind. Pricing is fixed and agreed before work starts, and the job is backed by a written 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Handed the keys to your new Al Quoz unit and found construction dust still coating every cabinet? Sticker residue on the windows and a bathroom that has never actually been cleaned? Al-Rahim sends a crew to deep clean a brand new or newly vacated unit before you move a single box in.
Al-Rahim Technical Services has handled move-in cleaning across Dubai for 10+ years and is licensed by Dubai Government. We give you an upfront quote before we start based on unit size, so you know the cost before your moving day arrives.
This service fits Al Quoz residents taking possession of a new-build apartment, warehouse-style loft, or freshly handed-over unit where developer cleaning was minimal, as well as anyone moving into a previously occupied home that needs a full reset first.
What’s Included
A move-in clean covers every surface of an empty unit, inside and out, before your furniture arrives.
- Inside and outside of all kitchen cabinets, drawers, and pantry shelving
- Construction dust removal from vents, window sills, and skirting boards
- Full appliance interior cleaning, including oven, fridge, and extractor hood
- Bathroom descaling and disinfecting of tiles, taps, and fittings
- Window, glass door, and sticker or paint-splatter residue removal
- Floor deep cleaning throughout, including inside closets and storage rooms
Why New Handovers in Al Quoz Need a Move-In Clean
Al Quoz’s mix of new residential conversions and warehouse-style developments means many handovers come straight from a construction site, with fine dust settling inside cabinets, on window sills, and inside AC vents before you ever see the unit. Developer cleaning teams often focus on visible floors and glass, not cabinet interiors.
Paint splatter on switches, tape residue on windows, and grout haze left from tile installation are common in freshly finished units and need a different cleaning approach than routine maintenance.
What’s Different About Cleaning an Empty Unit
With no furniture in the way, we can access every inch of flooring, baseboards, and wall corners, which is the main advantage of cleaning before you move in rather than after. Cabinet interiors, often skipped once shelves are filled with belongings, get a full wipe-down of dust and any leftover manufacturing residue.
Appliances arrive from the factory or a previous tenant with protective film, sticker glue, or dust inside, and we clean the interior of the oven, fridge, and extractor hood before first use.
New-Build vs Previously Occupied Move-In Cleaning
New-build units mainly need construction dust removal, grout haze clearing, and sticker residue work, since the space has never been lived in. Previously occupied units need a more thorough sanitising pass, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, to remove the previous occupant’s buildup.
Both scenarios benefit from the same principle: clean before belongings arrive, since it is far harder to reach corners, cabinet backs, and closet floors once boxes and furniture are in place.
Our Move-In Cleaning Process
We work room by room starting with the kitchen, since cabinet interiors and appliances take the most time, then move to bathrooms for descaling and disinfecting, then bedrooms and living areas for floors, closets, and window tracks.
A final pass targets construction residue specifically: paint flecks on switches, tape marks on glass, and dust in vent covers, checked against a room-by-room list before we confirm the unit is move-in ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon before moving day should I book a move-in clean?+
We recommend booking 2 to 3 days before your move so the unit is fully clean and dry before furniture arrives, giving buffer time if any additional issues like a leak or paint touch-up need addressing first.
Do you clean inside kitchen cabinets and appliances?+
Yes, cabinet interiors, drawers, and appliance interiors including the oven, fridge, and extractor hood are all part of the standard move-in clean, since these are commonly left dusty or with manufacturing residue after handover.
Can you remove construction dust from AC vents?+
Yes, vent covers are removed where possible and wiped clean of construction dust, which otherwise gets circulated through the unit the first time the AC runs.
What if the unit still has sticker residue or paint splatter?+
Our crew uses adhesive-safe removers for sticker glue on glass and appliances, and gentle scraping for paint splatter on tiles or switches, without damaging the underlying surface.
Is move-in cleaning different from a regular deep clean?+
Yes, move-in cleaning is more thorough since the unit is empty, giving full access to cabinet interiors, closet floors, and corners, and it addresses construction-specific residue that an occupied home’s deep clean does not.
Do you clean warehouse-style loft units common in Al Quoz?+
Yes, we clean loft and converted warehouse units, adjusting our approach for exposed ductwork, concrete floors, and larger open-plan areas that need different equipment than a standard apartment.
