How many times have you procrastinated cleaning the house? There’s the floor to vacuum, kitchen to disinfect and a new load of laundry to start. Chores pile up once you begin to make a mental note, and suddenly next weekend sounds like a better time. With hosting guests, though, you have no choice but to get to the bottom of it.
Amazon Home Services has an entire section dedicated to home cleaning and maid services. From mopping and deep cleaning, with a click, professionals can be hired to do a variety of tasks, and the rates depend on the hours as well as the number of cleaners you will need. Wiping down AC filters and removing stains from sofas require care and experience, so Amazon has you covered on that front as well.
We give you a rundown on all the services you can avail. The availability of service providers depends on the city you live in:
This is a basic service to get your home looking spick and span. Prices depend on whether you need one or two cleaners, the duration from two to eight hours and if the cleaners should come with supplies.

Services: Living space dusted and mopped, washing dishes and kitchen cleaning, making the beds and cleaning the bathroom and windows.

Add years to your old seaters by investing in a sofa cleaning service. Based on the type and material of the couch you own, from an L-shaped sofa to dining room chairs, experts will carry out the cleaning process accordingly.
For instance, a two-seater leather sofa will cost you Dh99 if you live in Dubai.
Availability: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman only.
Send your dirty laundry for wash, pressing and folding straight from the doorstep. The category of clothes excludes dresses and suits, as well as bed sheets, covers, duvets and such. Within 48 hours, the pros will deliver the load back to you; it can include anywhere from 10 to 30 clothing items.
Washing and folding 10 articles of clothes will cost you Dh39 in Dubai.

A handy service if you have little ones or pets at home, regular carpet cleaning keeps the fabric from collecting mould and mildew. The service includes dry and wet vacuuming, and can last for up to two hours per carpet. Prices depend on the number of carpets and their size.
In Dubai, a small carpet measuring up to nine square metres will cost you Dh90.
Availability: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman only.
A similar service is available for mattresses. All sizes ranging from crib to king beds are applicable, and the prices are also based on the number of mattresses. Get stains, odours and dirt removed for a longer mattress life.

Barbeque grills are rust prone if they are not cleaned on the regular. A wipe-down with basic chemical sprays is not enough, especially before a big family cookout. Grill cleaning pros will disassemble your machine, hand scrape the build-up and reassemble it for your safety. This can take two to five hours.
You have to pay Dh199 to get a small grill cleaned in Dubai.
Availability: Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah only.
8. AC cleaning
Anywhere from soft to deep cleaning of your air conditioning unit can be availed with this service. Your customisation options also include maintenance and repair, though any additional spare parts needed will be charged separately. The number of AC units in your home, hence the price, will be calculated according to the number of controllers.

Services: Deep cleaning (ideal for every six to 12 months), soft cleaning (recommended every three months), duct cleaning (recommended every three to five years) and maintenance/repair (twice a year).

Hire experts to disinfect your living space using either chemical or non-chemical means. Lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour, the service will include spraying all touch points with the disinfectant.

Non-chemical disinfection involves UV-C light that does not require ventilation, and is slightly more expensive than chemical disinfection.
