How much does a deep clean cost in Malta?
Deep cleaning usually costs 30% to 50% more than regular cleaning, because it targets built-up dirt, limescale, grout, and grease. A one-bedroom deep clean often lands around €55 to €95, depending on extras and provider type.
What is included in regular cleaning?
Regular cleaning typically includes dusting, floors, basic kitchen surfaces, bathroom cleaning, and general tidying. Exact tasks can vary, so it helps to confirm your checklist before the booking.
What does deep cleaning include?
Deep cleaning focuses on areas that are not covered in a normal weekly clean, like scrubbing grout, removing limescale, cleaning inside corners, tackling built-up grease, and addressing stubborn stains.
Regular cleaning vs deep cleaning, what is the difference?
Regular cleaning maintains cleanliness. Deep cleaning removes built-up grime and targets neglected areas. Many households do regular cleaning weekly or bi-weekly, and deep cleaning monthly or seasonally.
Do cleaners in Malta bring their own supplies?
Many agencies bring products and equipment. Independent cleaners may ask to use your supplies, so confirm in advance, especially if you want specific products.
Can I request eco-friendly cleaning products?
Yes. Mention eco-friendly products in your request so the cleaner can confirm availability and adjust the plan if needed.
How far in advance should I book during summer?
June through August tends to be busy. Booking 3 to 8 days ahead improves the chance of getting your preferred time slot.
Cleaning for Airbnb or holiday rentals, what should I ask for?
For short lets, specify check-in time, laundry needs, restocking, photos after cleaning, and any key handover instructions. These details reduce surprises and speed up turnovers.
End-of-tenancy cleaning in Malta, how do I prepare?
Check your rental agreement, list the areas required, and mention appliances, windows, balconies, and any stains that may need extra work. The more details you provide, the more accurate the quote.
Do I need to be home when the cleaner comes?
It helps to be present at the start to explain priorities. If you cannot, leave clear instructions and confirm access details in advance.
What if I am not satisfied with the cleaning?
Contact support with photos and a short description of the issue. If something was missed, you can often resolve it quickly by clarifying the scope and next steps.
