Cleaning in Malta and Gozo
Cleaning for viewings, tenancies and your return.
Regular, deep and end-of-tenancy cleaning, cleans after building work, and turnovers for holiday lets across Malta and Gozo.
A home rarely needs the same clean twice.
Before a viewing it needs to shine. After a tenancy it needs to be ready for the inventory check. After building work it needs the fine dust out of every corner. Choosing the right clean is most of the job.
Types of clean
The right clean for the moment
Deep cleaning
Inside the appliances and cupboards, grout and limescale, behind and under the furniture.
Best for: A reset, or a home that has stood empty
End of tenancy
An empty property cleaned top to bottom against the inventory, ready for the next tenant.
Best for: Check-out and handover
After builders
Construction dust, paint spots, adhesive and residue off floors, frames, glass and fittings.
Best for: The end of a renovation or a turnkey project
Holiday-let turnovers
Cleaning, fresh linen and restocking between guests, to the same standard every stay.
Best for: Short lets with back-to-back bookings
Before viewings and photography
Every surface, glass and fitting at its best, the day before buyers or the photographer arrive.
Best for: Selling or letting

Dust is part of island life.
Building work nearby, wind off the fields and the long dry summer bring dust into most homes on the islands. A deep or after-builders clean is how a home is brought back to the standard a viewing, a tenant or your own return deserves.
Choosing a cleaner
Questions worth asking first
- Are the cleaners employed by the company, and are they insured?
- What does a standard clean include, and what costs extra?
- How are keys and access handled when I am not there?

Rather hand over the whole job?
Some owners would rather have it managed than arrange each part themselves. We coordinate the interior design, keep an eye on a turnkey fit-out, look after the property once it is ready, and bring in the right people for anything else it needs.

Frequently asked questions
What does an end-of-tenancy clean include?
The whole empty property, top to bottom: inside the kitchen appliances and cupboards, bathrooms descaled, floors, skirting boards, doors, windows and tracks, and balconies or terraces. The aim is a property that matches the inventory, ready for the check-out inspection and the next tenant.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?
A regular clean keeps a lived-in home in order: floors, surfaces, kitchen and bathrooms. A deep clean goes further: inside appliances and cupboards, grout and limescale, behind and under furniture, and the details a regular clean leaves for another day.
Do you clean after building work?
Yes. An after-builders clean removes construction dust, paint spots and adhesive from floors, frames, glass and fittings. It is usually the last step before furnishing, or before handing a finished property over.
Can cleaning be arranged between holiday-let guests?
Yes. Turnover cleans cover cleaning, fresh linen and restocking between stays, planned around the booking calendar.
Do I need to be at home for the clean?
No. Many cleans happen in empty or tenanted properties, with access arranged beforehand. Say how the keys will be handed over when you enquire.
How is property cleaning priced in Malta?
Regular cleaning is usually charged by the hour. Deep, end-of-tenancy and after-builders cleans are usually quoted per job, depending on the size and condition of the property. The service providers on this page quote directly.
