Can a home really be cleaned the same day in Jeddah?
Yes. We hear the question almost every morning, in different words: “Do you have anyone today?”, “I need the flat done before the afternoon”, “Guests are coming after Maghrib.” Our day is planned around it. We don’t fill every maid’s schedule with bookings made days ahead; in each shift some are kept free for requests that come in on the day. When your message arrives we look for the nearest available maid to your district. If one is close by and free, she can be with you within 30 minutes of confirmation. If not, we tell you honestly the earliest time we can manage today, before you commit.
How quickly she gets there depends on three things, and we don’t control all of them: how many maids are free at that hour, how far they are from you, and the traffic. A run inside your own district is not the same as crossing from south Jeddah to Obhur when offices close. So we won’t promise half an hour every time, but we will give you the real time, and most people who message in the morning get a maid in that shift or the next one.
Instant requests: in the booking form at the bottom of the page, choose “Now” in the time field, or just write “now” in your WhatsApp message. It reaches us flagged as urgent and gets answered first.
The three requests we get every day in Jeddah
Most same-day cleaning requests fall into one of three situations, and each one needs a different order of work and a different length of visit. Knowing which one you are in before you message us cuts the conversation in half, because we can suggest the hours and number of maids straight away.
A full clean of the whole home
This is for the home that has gone two or three weeks without a proper clean, or the family back from a trip to find dust on everything. The maid starts in the bedrooms and finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms: dusting furniture, shelves and doors, vacuuming rugs and sofas, mopping floors, cleaning mirrors and glass on the inside, then the kitchen counters, cabinet fronts and sink, and finally the bathrooms from top to bottom. For an average flat that usually takes one maid 5 to 6 hours, or two maids 4 hours.
Cleaning before you move in
You have just got the keys to a new flat, or the painters have just left, and the furniture arrives tomorrow or the day after. It is the best moment to clean, because the place is empty and the maid can reach every corner without moving anything. The focus is the fine dust left by paint and plaster, the inside of wardrobes and cupboards, marks on the tiles, and the bathrooms and kitchen before anyone uses them. Hardened spots such as dried cement take longer, so mention them in your message and we will allow an extra hour if needed.
Before guests arrive
The call comes at noon: “We’re coming over tonight.” You don’t need the whole house cleaned, only what guests will see: the entrance, the majlis or living room, the guest bathroom and the kitchen if it is open-plan. Two hours can be enough for a small flat; four hours takes the pressure off in any average home, and the maid can help set out the serving dishes before she leaves.
Entrance and majlis
Mopping, straightening sofas and cushions, wiping tables and ornaments, dusting low light fittings.
Guest bathroom
Basin, mirror, toilet and floor, fresh towels out and soap topped up if you have it.
Open kitchen
Washing the pile of dishes, wiping counters and the hob surface, clearing the sink.
Final touch
Serving dishes ready, rubbish bags out, windows opened to air the room before the first guest.
Your home’s size: how many hours and maids today?
The most common mistake with rushed bookings is taking 2 hours for a home that needs 6, so the visit ends with the job half done. The table below comes from what we actually see in Jeddah homes. It is a starting estimate that we adjust once you describe the place:
| Home type | Light regular clean | Full or move-in clean |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom flat | 2 hours | 4 hours, one maid |
| Two- or three-bedroom flat | 4 hours | 5 to 6 hours, or two maids for 4 hours |
| Large flat (4+ rooms) or a full floor | 5 hours | 8 hours, or two maids for 4 hours |
| Duplex or small villa | 6 hours | two maids for 4 hours plus extra hours as needed |
| Large villa with annex | 8 hours or two maids | two maids for longer, agreed over WhatsApp |
Jeddah’s humidity adds time that people rarely count. In districts near the sea such as Al-Shati and Obhur, a sticky film of salt and dust builds up on windows and balconies. One wipe doesn’t shift it; it needs washing and then drying so no streaks are left. The outdoor grilles of air conditioners collect damp dust quickly too. If your home has a big balcony or a lot of windows, add an hour to the estimate above, or ask for it in your message.
What gets done in 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours?
Time is counted from the moment the maid arrives at your home, not from when she leaves her accommodation, so you pay for real working hours inside your house. This is what to expect from one maid in a home in normal condition:
| Length | What can be done | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | One clear task: the kitchen, the bathrooms, or tidying the living room and entrance before guests | A small flat or a quick job |
| 4 hours | Bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathrooms at a regular level, plus the dishes | Most flats; the most booked option |
| 6 hours | All of the above plus inside windows, the balcony, and inside the fridge or cupboards | A large flat or a full clean |
| 8 hours | A complete deep clean, an empty home before move-in, or the day after an event | A full floor or a villa with one maid |
These are rough guides. A home with small children, pets or a kitchen in heavy use takes longer in the same spots. If the hours run out and there is still something you want done, you can ask for an extra hour while the maid is with you, as long as she has no booking straight after.
Booking today, step by step
No app to download, no account and no card details. The whole booking is a short WhatsApp chat or a phone call, and the steps are the same whether you want a maid now or later this afternoon:
Message us or use the form: WhatsApp or call 0561940026, or fill in the booking form on this page and choose “Now” if you want her straight away.
We reply with a time and price: the earliest arrival we can manage today and the starting price for your district, hours and number of maids.
Confirm and share your location: send your pin from WhatsApp maps plus the building number and floor, or the compound name, so the driver doesn’t have to keep calling.
The maid arrives: we let you know when she sets off, and the clock starts when she reaches your door.
Pay when she arrives: nothing before that. Before the time ends, walk round with her to see what has been done.
What to write in your WhatsApp message
A good first message saves a quarter of an hour of back-and-forth, which matters when you are in a hurry. One or two lines are enough:
- Your district, then send the location pin.
- Home type: flat, floor, duplex or villa, with the number of rooms and bathrooms.
- Type of clean: full, move-in, before guests, or one specific job.
- Time: “now” or a set hour today.
- Whether you have cleaning products at home or want them brought.
Sample message: “Hi, I need a cleaner now in Al-Safa. Three-bedroom flat, two bathrooms, full clean including the kitchen. I have the products.” A message like that gets a time and a price in reply straight away.
When is the best time to message: morning or evening?
We work two shifts, morning and evening. Message early in the morning and you have the widest choice of maids, whether you want someone right away or after lunch. As the day goes on the morning shift fills up, and requests usually move to the start of the evening shift, which suits people who work and want the home clean before dinner.
Weekends and the days before Eid and family occasions are when same-day requests peak. On those days it is worth messaging early even if you want the maid after Asr: hold your place, then confirm the hour later. And if you only realise late that you need someone now, message anyway. A maid often comes free after finishing a visit near you.
Same-day home cleaning prices in Jeddah
A rushed booking starts from the same prices as a planned one; there is no surcharge for asking today. Starting prices for one maid unless stated otherwise:
| Visit | Note | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 hours | One task or a small flat | 120 |
| 4 hours | The most booked length for most flats | 180 |
| 5 hours | A larger flat or a deeper clean | 240 |
| 6 hours | A full clean of a large flat or duplex | 265 |
| 8 hours | A villa, or a home before move-in | 305 |
| Two maids, 4 hours | A big job in roughly half the time | 385 |
| Extra hour | Added during the visit or before it | 70 |
If the first visit goes well and you want the home kept that way, there are monthly plans of 4-hour visits: 4 visits from SAR 610, 8 visits from SAR 1,155 and 12 visits from SAR 1,730.
What changes the final price?
- District and distance: the price depends on where you live and how far it is from the maid, so districts on the far north or south edges of Jeddah can be priced differently from central ones.
- Hours: each hour you add raises the cost of the visit.
- Number of maids: two maids finish faster, but you pay for two.
- Shift: evening visits can be priced differently from mornings.
- Condition of the home: a place after renovation or a long absence needs more hours than one cleaned weekly.
We give you the figure before you confirm, so there are no surprises at the door.
Pay on arrival: what exactly are you paying for?
We don’t ask for a transfer or a deposit before the visit. When the maid arrives and you can see her in front of you, you pay for the hours agreed in the chat. That takes away the usual worry with last-minute bookings: you never pay for someone who didn’t turn up, and you never wait for a refund if your plans change before the visit.
What you pay covers the working hours and the cleaning tools the maid brings with her. Cleaning products are as agreed: if you have products you prefer, she uses them; if you want us to bring them, say so in your message and it is included in the price. If you ask for an extra hour during the visit, it is simply added to the same amount.
Who is the maid we send today?
We send women only, and most of them are Indonesian maids trained in cleaning and tidying homes. They know the usual order of work: top to bottom, bedrooms before the kitchen and bathrooms, and separate cloths for bathroom and kitchen. When no Indonesian maid is free near you at the time you want, we may send an available maid of another nationality, and we tell you before she sets off.
All our maids are legally employed with valid iqamas, dress modestly and bring the basic cleaning tools. We prefer a woman of the household to be at home during the visit, to explain what she wants and check the work before the time is up. It makes the visit quicker and more precise.
Get these ready before she arrives
On a same-day booking every minute of the maid’s time counts. These take five minutes before she gets there, and they mean all the hours go on cleaning:
- Gather papers, personal items and jewellery in one closed place.
- Decide the order: what has to be finished first?
- Put out your cleaning products if you have them, and tell her where they are.
- Open the rooms you want cleaned and close the ones she shouldn’t enter.
- Point out any delicate surface: marble that can’t take certain products, or wood that needs a dry cloth.
Jeddah districts we reach the same day
We cover Jeddah from north to south. Some of the districts we serve:
If your district isn’t listed, message us anyway; these are examples, not a closed list. The closer your district is to our free maids at that hour, the faster she arrives, and that is also why the price can differ slightly between districts.
Tip: if you live in a gated compound, send the compound name and villa number and tell the guard in advance that the maid is coming. Some gates can hold her up for fifteen minutes or more.
Warning: don’t let a “freelance” maid offered by a message or an advert at a below-market rate into your home. Employing a domestic worker outside a licensed provider is a violation that falls on the household too, and Saudi regulations set fines for it that can be heavy, quite apart from not knowing who you have let in. Always book through a provider whose address and number you know.
Once the visit is over
About fifteen minutes before the time ends, walk round the house with the maid. If she has missed a spot, tell her while she is still there so she can go over it within the visit. If you have a general comment, send it to us on WhatsApp and we will keep it in mind next time. Many of our customers start with one urgent booking and then ask for the same maid on later visits, depending on her availability, because she already knows the house.
