What is included
A complete clean of every room, surface, fitting and fixture in the home, scoped in writing and signed off against fourteen checks. Deep cleaning reaches what weekly housekeeping leaves behind: the tops of wardrobes, AC grilles, window tracks, the grease line behind the cooker and the limescale that hard water leaves on glass and chrome. A supervised crew from The MELLS works through the home in a fixed order so nothing is missed and nothing is cleaned twice.
- Fridge and freezer emptied, cleaned and left with doors propped open where agreed
- Bins emptied and washed, and every drain trap topped up with water
- Soft furnishings vacuumed and dust sheets laid over sofas and beds
- AC settings, water heaters and window locks gone through with you
How we carry out home closing before summer travel
A Dubai home left shut through July and August goes wrong in predictable ways. Food left in a fridge that loses power becomes a serious clean on return. Floor drains and unused basin traps dry out and let sewer smell into the rooms. With the AC off, humidity climbs and wardrobes, leather and mattresses can grow mould. The closing visit deals with these one by one: the kitchen is cleared and cleaned, bins are emptied and washed, and every trap gets water poured in to keep the seal.
The rest of the home is cleaned before it is covered, so dust is not sealed under the sheets. Sofas, mattresses and rugs are vacuumed, and dust sheets go over upholstery and beds. We go through the AC settings with you, since leaving units on a moderate setting usually keeps the air drier than switching them off. Windows and balcony doors are closed and locked, and a short checklist with photographs is sent so you know how the home was left.
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.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for home closing before summer travel follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- Size of the property and number of rooms
- Condition, and how long since the last deep clean
- Furnished and occupied, or empty
- Extras such as sofas, carpets, mattresses, external glass or outdoor areas

Questions about home closing before summer travel
What does home closing before summer travel include?
Before a family flies out for the summer, the home is cleaned, cleared of anything that spoils, and set up to sit closed for weeks without smells, pests or damp taking hold. The work includes fridge and freezer emptied, cleaned and left with doors propped open where agreed; bins emptied and washed, and every drain trap topped up with water; soft furnishings vacuumed and dust sheets laid over sofas and beds.
Should I leave the AC on while we are away?
Many owners leave the units running on a moderate setting so the air stays drier and furniture and wardrobes do not grow mould. The right setting depends on the property and on running costs, and we talk it through with you during the closing visit.
Can you also clean the home before we come back?
Yes. A reopening clean can be booked for the days before your return: dust sheets lifted, surfaces dusted and wiped, drains flushed, the fridge switched on and the rooms aired. It can be quoted with the closing visit or on its own.
How much does home closing before summer travel cost in Dubai?
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 home closing before summer travel in Dubai?
The MELLS provides home closing before summer travel in 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 home closing before summer travel take?
Typically 4 to 8 hours for most apartments, and 1 to 2 days for most villas with a crew of four to six. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How often should a home in Dubai be deep cleaned?
Twice a year suits most homes in Dubai. Homes near the coast, near construction or with pets, young children or allergy sufferers benefit from a deep clean every three to four months.
Do I need to be at home during the deep clean?
No. Many clients hand over a key or arrange access with security. The supervisor sends photographs during the day and the signed report at the end.
Do you bring your own equipment and products?
Yes. The crew arrives with machines, HEPA vacuums, steam units, microfibre and all products. We only need water and electricity at the property.
Are the products safe for children and pets?
We use professional products chosen for the surface, diluted correctly and rinsed off. Rooms are ventilated before handover. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities and we will adjust the product list.
Is sofa, carpet or mattress cleaning included?
Soft furnishings are quoted as optional extras so you only pay for what you need. Most clients add them to the same visit because the crew and machines are already on site.
What is the difference between deep cleaning and regular cleaning?
Regular cleaning keeps visible surfaces tidy. Deep cleaning removes the build up that regular cleaning cannot reach, including grease behind appliances, limescale on glass and chrome, dust on high ledges and inside cabinets, and sand packed into window tracks. It uses machines, specialist chemistry and a larger supervised crew.
How do I choose a company for home closing before summer travel in Dubai?
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.
