Home Closing Before Summer Travel in Alma, Dubai

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.

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.

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.

We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same.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.

The MELLS provides home closing before summer travel in Alma, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Neighbourhoods are gated with security. Contractors are registered by the resident, and exterior changes need community management approval.

Cleaning, AC servicing and repairs inside the home only need the gate or building pass, which the resident arranges. Exterior painting, waterproofing, fit out and any change to the facade, roof or garden structures need a no objection certificate from Emaar or the community management in Arabian Ranches before work starts. We prepare the method statement, drawings, insurance and trade licence documents the approval asks for.

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.

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.
