When does your kitchen need a deep clean?
The kitchen collects more grease, steam and odour than any other room. With daily cooking a thin oily film builds up on cabinet doors, handles and the tiles behind the hob, and you often notice it only when a surface feels tacky. Wiping with a cloth removes what you can see; a deep clean reaches corners, grout lines and spots your hand rarely goes.
Abu Dhabi homes vary widely: open-plan kitchens in modern apartments, closed kitchens in villas, and prep or maid kitchens in larger properties. Each needs a different approach, so we ask about surface types and materials before choosing products and tools.
- Sticky grease on cabinets and the wall behind the hob
- Cooking smells that linger despite ventilation
- Dirt packed into grout lines and around the sink
- Before moving into a new home or handing back an apartment
- After maintenance, painting or fit-out work in the kitchen
Kitchen areas we clean
We agree the scope with you before the visit. A deep clean usually covers the following:
Worktops and surfaces
Cleaning and degreasing marble, quartz, treated wood or stainless steel, using a product suited to each material so the finish is not damaged.
Oven and hob
Removing burnt-on residue and grease from racks, burners, the hob top and the oven glass as far as possible. Very old carbonised residue may leave a mark.
Extractor hood and filters
Cleaning the exterior and any removable filters, which collect grease fastest and need regular attention.
Cabinets and drawers
Wiping fronts and handles, and the inside when emptied, since drawers collect crumbs and oil residue.
Sink and taps
Removing limescale, water marks and soap film, and cleaning the visible drain area and edges.
Floor and walls
Cleaning the floor, grout lines and the wall behind the hob where grease and splatter concentrate.

Daily cleaning versus a deep clean
Daily cleaning means wiping surfaces, washing dishes and taking out the rubbish. It is essential, but it does not tackle older layers. A deep clean takes longer and uses different tools such as small brushes and dedicated degreasers, and covers neglected areas like the tops of cabinets and the spaces behind movable appliances.
We do not promise the kitchen will look brand new in every case, because some surfaces are scratched, worn or permanently marked by old burns. After the inspection we explain what we expect, so there are no surprises on the day.
How the kitchen job runs
We work from top to bottom so dirt never falls onto areas already cleaned:
Inspection and scope
We review photos of your kitchen or visit, and agree which appliances and cabinets are included and what the surfaces are made of.
Protection
We protect sensitive appliances and sockets and detach what can be safely removed before any liquid is used.
Degreasing
The suitable degreaser is applied and left for the right time, then surfaces and parts are scrubbed according to the material.
Appliances
Oven, hob, hood and the outside of the fridge, according to what was agreed.
Floors and finishing
Grout lines and floors are cleaned, and steel and taps are polished.
Review with you
We walk through the result and mention any stains or marks that could not be removed safely.
Kitchen cleaning by property type and area in Abu Dhabi
In modern apartments on Al Reem Island, Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, kitchens are often open to the living room, so grease and cooking smells travel to nearby curtains and furniture. For that reason we suggest including the surfaces next to the kitchen if you wish.
Villas in Khalifa City and Mohammed Bin Zayed City may have a main kitchen plus a prep kitchen, and each is estimated separately. It helps to tell us how many kitchens there are and their approximate size when you message us on WhatsApp.
What affects the cost
We do not give one fixed figure for every kitchen because conditions differ so much. The main factors in a quote are the kitchen size and number of cabinets, how old and thick the grease is, how many appliances need cleaning inside such as the oven and fridge, how hard some parts are to reach such as high cabinets and the hood, and whether the job is standalone or part of a full home clean.
We send a written quote once we know these details, and the pricing guide page explains the general factors.
How to prepare before the team arrives
A little preparation lets the visit go further. Remove perishable food from the fridge if inside cleaning is included, clear utensils from the worktops, and point out any appliance that is not working properly or any delicate surface.
- Clear the worktops of utensils and spices
- Tell us about older cabinets or painted surfaces
- Make sure water and electricity are available
- Let us know about pets in the home
- Say which appliances you want cleaned inside

Common mistakes when cleaning a kitchen yourself
A frequent mistake is using abrasive pads on stainless steel or polished granite, which leaves permanent scratches. Another is mixing different cleaning products, which can release dangerous fumes. Spraying too much water near sockets and appliances can also cause electrical problems.
Another is putting a hood filter back while it is still greasy, so the smell returns quickly. Clean and dry it fully before refitting.
Looking after the kitchen afterwards
To keep the result, wipe surfaces right after cooking with a damp cloth and mild cleaner, clean filters regularly according to how much you cook, and do not leave dirty dishes for long periods. Ventilating while and after cooking reduces steam and odour build-up.
If you notice cockroaches or other insects in the kitchen after cleaning, that deserves a separate inspection. Hygiene and pest control are related but one does not replace the other.
