Moving into a new apartment or villa in Dubai? Don’t assume it’s clean — even brand-new or recently vacated homes can hide dust, allergens, and germs in unexpected places.
Whether you’re relocating to Downtown, JVC, Marina, or Arabian Ranches, this move-in cleaning checklist will help you settle in with confidence — and avoid the common oversights most residents make.
🧽 1. AC Vents & Ducts
Dubai’s dusty environment makes AC ducts a magnet for allergens and mold — especially after a property has been closed or unoccupied.
✅ Book AC duct cleaning in Dubai before move-in to protect your air quality.
🚽 2. Bathrooms: Sanitization Is a Must
Even if the toilet and sink “look” clean, bacteria and odor-causing germs often linger in grout lines, drains, and under toilet rims.
✅ Use steam disinfection and eco-friendly cleaners to sanitize all bathroom surfaces.
🍽️ 3. Kitchen Cabinets, Appliances & Ducts
Grease, dust, and crumbs build up inside cabinets, under stoves, and in exhaust systems.
✅ Request kitchen duct and cabinet deep cleaning — especially if the previous tenant cooked frequently.
🛏️ 4. Mattresses & Upholstery (If Furnished)
Used mattresses or sofas can carry allergens, pet dander, and even mold spores.
✅ Sanitize or deep-clean all upholstered items before using them — even if they seem clean.
🪟 5. Windows, Curtains & Blinds
Curtains and blinds collect fine dust and pollen, especially if windows were left open or cleaned poorly.
✅ Don’t forget to wipe curtain rods, clean blind slats, and vacuum behind drapes.
🚪 6. Doors, Handles & Light Switches
These high-touch surfaces are easy to miss — yet they’re hotspots for germs and bacteria.
✅ Wipe with antibacterial solutions or request disinfection for full-home safety.
🧼 7. Tile Grout, Baseboards & Floor Edges
These are common dust traps and may be overlooked in basic cleaning packages.
✅ Ask for professional deep cleaning that includes all floor edges, skirting, and tile joints.
