What is included
Detailing for luxury homes: closets, kitchen appliances, leather, glass, terraces and home cinemas cleaned by hand, by trained staff, under a named supervisor. A weekly clean keeps a home tidy. Detailing deals with what it leaves behind: the inside of wardrobes, the seals of a built in coffee machine, body oil on a leather armrest, water marks on a glass balustrade. Each job is done by hand with a product chosen for the finish, and every delicate surface is logged before work starts.
- Each piece checked for loose paint, flaking gilding or unstable fixings
- Frames and stable sculpture surfaces dusted with soft goat hair brushes
- Glazing cleaned with a damp cloth, never sprayed on the glass
- Fragile or damaged pieces photographed and left for a conservator
How we carry out artwork and sculpture dusting
Dust in Abu Dhabi is fine and slightly abrasive, and it settles on the tops of frames, the ledges of sculptures and the textured surfaces of canvases. Removing it is worth doing carefully and no further. The supervisor walks the collection with you first, noting each piece, the material and anything that looks loose, flaking or previously repaired. Items you would rather we left alone are marked. The painted surface itself is not cleaned; at most loose dust is lifted with a very soft brush held just off the paint.
Frames are dusted with soft brushes, working the dust towards the nozzle of a vacuum on low suction with a fine mesh over it, so any loose flake is caught rather than lost. Gilded frames are not wiped. Glass and acrylic glazing is cleaned with a cloth dampened away from the picture, never sprayed. Bronze, stone and resin sculptures are dusted with brushes, with gloves on, and lifted only when you agree and the piece is stable. Anything cracked or flaking is photographed and referred to a conservator.
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.
Artwork and Sculpture Dusting in Al Khalidiyah: what we plan for
Al Khalidiyah sits between the Corniche and the centre of Abu Dhabi island and is mostly apartment towers, from established mid rise blocks to taller buildings such as Shining Towers, Al Sawari Tower and Crescent Towers. In the middle of the district, Khalidiya Village is a gated community of villas and townhouses with its own clubhouse, pool and gym.
The district is dense and close to the sea, so humid air comes into apartments every time a balcony door opens. Traffic dust settles on window sills and in AC return grilles, and kitchens in smaller flats build up grease on extractor filters and wall tiles quickly.
Every tower needs a work permit from building management and a service lift booking before a crew can start. Khalidiya Village has gated security, so the resident registers our team ahead of time. What each building asks for is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork.
What your quotation depends on

Questions about artwork and sculpture dusting in Al Khalidiyah
What does artwork and sculpture dusting include?
Paintings, frames and sculptures dusted with soft brushes and low suction only. We touch frames, glazing and stable surfaces and leave any restoration to a conservator. The work includes each piece checked for loose paint, flaking gilding or unstable fixings; frames and stable sculpture surfaces dusted with soft goat hair brushes; glazing cleaned with a damp cloth, never sprayed on the glass.
Do you clean oil paintings?
We do not clean the painted surface. That is conservation work and belongs with a trained conservator. Our team dusts frames, glazing and the back of the canvas where safe, and notes any flaking or damage for you to pass on.
Can you dust large sculptures in a villa garden or atrium?
Yes, where the piece is stable and the surface is sound. Access equipment is planned at the site visit, gloves are worn and brushes do most of the work. Outdoor pieces with sand and bird marks may need a gentle wash, agreed with you beforehand.
How much does artwork and sculpture dusting cost in Al Khalidiyah?
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 artwork and sculpture dusting in Al Khalidiyah?
The MELLS provides artwork and sculpture dusting in Al Khalidiyah, Abu Dhabi. 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 artwork and sculpture dusting take?
Typically half a day for a single area such as a closet, a kitchen or a terrace, and one to two days for a full home. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Will the same people come each time?
The supervisor stays the same, and the crew is kept the same as far as rosters allow, so knowledge of your home and its finishes stays with the team.
Do you handle clothes, art and valuables?
Only as far as you agree at the site visit. Garments are moved by section and returned to the same place. Art, watches, jewellery and safes are left untouched unless you ask otherwise.
Which products do you use on delicate finishes?
Each finish gets its own: pH neutral cleaners on stone, a dedicated cleaner and conditioner on leather, dry methods on acoustic fabric and screens. Anything new is tested on a hidden spot first.
Do you arrange the building permit in Al Khalidiyah?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Can you clean an apartment before I move in?
Yes. A move in clean covers kitchen cupboards inside and out, bathrooms, wardrobes, glass, AC grilles and floors. The building usually needs a permit first, and we prepare what it asks for.
How do I choose a company for artwork and sculpture dusting in Al Khalidiyah?
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.
How are visits to Al Khalidiyah arranged?
Visits in Abu Dhabi are booked by appointment between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. Call or send the form and we agree the earliest time a supervisor can come to you.
