Average Cleaning Prices in Malta (2026)

Most homes in Malta are priced per room rather than per hour: the first bedroom typically costs around €20 to clean and dust, each additional bedroom adds €10 to €20, and the first bathroom is usually bundled in. Hourly work runs €10 to €20 for independent cleaners and €15 to €25 for agencies, with deep cleaning priced 30% to 50% above regular rates.

*Figures are estimates compiled from Maltese providers, community-reported rates, and recent quote ranges. Your final cleaning cost in Malta can vary by location, timing, and extras.

Quick estimate: A one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat needing a one-off deep clean often lands between €55 and €95, depending on extras and the provider you choose.

What Drives the Final Price?

Five factors move the cleaning cost in Malta more than anything else: total floor area, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the extras you add, the type of provider, and where on the island the property sits. Limescale-heavy bathrooms and hard-to-access buildings add working time, and time is what you are ultimately paying for.

1. Property size: more square metres usually means more labour time.
2. Bedrooms and bathrooms: tiles and fixtures add scrubbing time — especially in Malta, where tap water is classed as hard to very hard, typically 200 to 350 mg/L calcium carbonate according to Water Services Corporation data, so limescale builds up fast on taps, glass and shower screens.
3. Extras: interior windows, balconies, or a terrace wash can add €10 to €25 each.
4. Provider type: agencies often include VAT, insurance, and staff overhead. Labour costs set the floor for everyone: Malta’s 2026 minimum wage is €229.44 per week — about €5.74 per hour, per DIER — which is why experienced professionals rarely quote below €10 per hour once travel, supplies and self-employment costs are counted.
5. Location and access: coastal flats in Sliema, St Julian’s and Gzira collect salt-air film on glass, Valletta townhouses mean stairs and delicate limestone surfaces, and Gozo has fewer available cleaners — all of which can nudge quotes up.

Popular Add-Ons

The most requested extras in Malta are inside windows, balconies and terraces — the surfaces hit hardest by salt air and Saharan dust events.

Bundle two or more extras and many providers shave 5% to 10% off the add-on total.

2. Compare offers. Verified cleaners send offers with exact prices, typically within 5 to 15 minutes. Check each cleaner’s ratings and reviews before you decide.

Tap once, compare quotes, book. Get Quotes in Rozie App

Finding a cleaner in Malta the traditional way usually means scrolling Facebook groups, texting numbers, waiting for callbacks, and hoping the quote still holds once someone actually sees the flat.

Rozie was built to remove that friction: one request, exact offers from verified cleaners, and payment protection plus insurance on every booking.

When Should You Book a Cleaner in Malta?

For a regular clean, posting your request 2 to 3 days ahead is usually enough anywhere in Malta. In the June-to-August peak, book 3 to 8 days ahead to secure your preferred slot, and expect the pre-Easter weeks and the October-to-February humidity season to be busy periods for deep cleans.

Demand in Malta follows a clear seasonal rhythm. Spring brings the traditional pre-Easter deep clean, when families reset the whole home. Summer belongs to short-let turnover — hosts in Sliema, St Julian’s and Bugibba compete for the same morning slots between check-out and check-in. From October to February, indoor humidity often sits between 60% and 80%, so bathrooms, grout and wardrobes need more frequent attention, and deep-clean requests climb again.

Key takeaway: Hourly rates in Malta run €10 to €25, but the pricing model matters as much as the rate — a fixed-price offer means the cleaner has already sized your specific job, so there are no surprises when the work is done.

Rather skip the maths? Post your job once on Rozie and let verified cleaners price it for you — offers with exact prices, usually within 5 to 15 minutes, and every booking insured.

Cleaning cost Malta FAQ (2026)

How much do cleaners charge per hour in Malta?

In 2026, independent cleaners often charge €10 to €20 per hour. Professional cleaning agencies commonly range from €15 to €25 per hour.

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.

Does Rozie show cleaning prices upfront?

Rozie does not generate a price for you. You post your cleaning request once, and verified cleaners send offers with the exact price for your job, usually within 5 to 15 minutes. You compare the offers and accept the one you prefer, so the final price is confirmed before you commit.

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. Malta’s Private Residential Leases Act (Cap. 604) regulates long-let deposits, so a documented, thorough clean protects both sides at handover.

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. Every Rozie booking also includes 7-day payment protection, giving you time to raise issues before the job is closed.
