What is included
Curtains steamed on their tracks and blinds cleaned slat by slat, without the cost and risk of taking them down. Curtains filter the dust that comes through every window and balcony door. We clean them where they hang, so there is no shrinkage, no rehanging and no bare windows.
- Material identified: painted timber, MDF, PVC or aluminium
- Louvres brushed and vacuumed tilted up, then tilted down
- Frames, hinges, tilt rods and sill channels wiped
- Timber dried at once so no water sits in the joints
How we carry out plantation shutter cleaning
Shutters are opened on their hinges where the frame allows, so both faces can be reached. Louvres are tilted fully one way and dusted with a soft brush and vacuum, then tilted the other way and done again, which clears the overlap that a single pass leaves. Each blade is wiped with a wrung out microfibre and a mild neutral cleaner, working from the top panel down. Painted timber and MDF are dried straight away. PVC and aluminium shutters in bathrooms and kitchens can take a wetter wipe and a degreaser where needed.
Painted timber shutters on sun facing windows in Dubai move a great deal between a hot closed summer and a cool dry winter. Joints open, paint cracks along the louvre edges and water from careless cleaning gets into the end grain and swells it. MDF cores fare badly once the paint film is broken. Abrasive pads and strong cleaners take the sheen off satin paint and leave dull patches that show in raking light. The site visit checks the material, the paint condition, loose tilt rods and missing louvre pins.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.
Plantation Shutter Cleaning in Al Barari: what we plan for
Al Barari is a low density community built inside botanical gardens, with streams, lakes and dense planting between the homes. It includes large private villas, The Nest and The Reserve, and the Seventh Heaven and Ashjar apartments.
The planting that makes Al Barari special also keeps humidity high and surfaces shaded. Leaf litter, pollen and insects are part of daily life, and algae grows quickly on outdoor stone and shaded walls.
There is one gated entrance and contractors are registered with security by the resident. Working hours are limited to keep the community quiet.
What your quotation depends on

Questions about plantation shutter cleaning in Al Barari
What does plantation shutter cleaning include?
Plantation shutters are dusted louvre by louvre with the blades tilted both ways, then wiped with a damp cloth: sparingly on painted timber, more freely on PVC or aluminium. The work includes material identified: painted timber, MDF, PVC or aluminium; louvres brushed and vacuumed tilted up, then tilted down; frames, hinges, tilt rods and sill channels wiped.
What is the white film on my shutters after cleaning them myself?
It is usually detergent or hard water residue left to dry on the paint. A wipe with a cloth dampened in clean water, followed at once by a dry cloth, takes it off. Spray polish is best avoided, as it builds up and attracts dust.
Can shutters with a loose tilt rod be fixed during the clean?
A tilt rod that has come off its staples, or a louvre whose pin has slipped out, is a small repair that the handyman team can do on the same visit. Cracked blades and split frames are reported for a separate repair.
How much does plantation shutter cleaning cost in Al Barari?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides plantation shutter cleaning in Al Barari?
The MELLS provides plantation shutter cleaning in Al Barari, Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does plantation shutter cleaning take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for most homes. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Is steam safe for blackout and silk curtains?
Blackout linings are cleaned at low temperature. Silk and velvet are cleaned with low moisture methods after a test.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in Dubai, and more often near the coast or next to construction.
Do you take the curtains down?
No. They are cleaned in place, which avoids shrinkage and rehanging. Heavily soiled or lined curtains can be taken for an off site wash if needed.
How do your crews get access to Al Barari?
There is one gated entrance and contractors are registered with security by the resident. Working hours are limited to keep the community quiet.
Why does algae keep returning on our terraces?
Shade and irrigation keep the stone damp. Washing, treating and sealing slows it down, and a wash every three months keeps it under control.
How do I choose a company for plantation shutter cleaning in Al Barari?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Al Barari at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
