Pricing in 2025
Beirut: maintenance cleans 25–45 fresh USD per visit for a 100 sqm apartment; deep cleans 80–180 USD. Larger homes and homes outside the capital vary. Tip 10–15% for satisfactory service is customary.
Building a long-term relationship
If a single cleaner suits your home, ask the company to send the same person each week. Provide a written checklist of priorities (and red-lines like "never use bleach on the parquet") and a designated supply cupboard.
