Part Time Agency Maids
Another option is to use a part time maid who would come to your house a set number of hours and days a week to help you with your cleaning. Some agencies also offer baby sitting services. The average rate is QR 45 an hour. This can be a much easier arrangement than employing a live- in maid for some. Make sure that the agency is registered and legal. Word of mouth recommendations are also good. You can ask on our Forum for feedback and recommendations. Take Me There>>
There are many companies set up to provide this service. Basically you enter into a contract with one of the companies and they will send a maid to your villa or apartment at set times arranged with you and your home will be sparkling clean!
The service is charged for at an hourly rate with the minimum usually being 4 hours per week. It’s up to you how often you want a maid- for an apartment 4 hours per week is probably long enough. For a villa 8 hours a week should do it - but you can have someone every day- most services are fully flexible. It also depends on what services you want- floor cleaning, washing, ironing, tidying, dusting, cooking etc. etc.
A basic house cleaning service will normally cover the following:
Floors: Thorough mop and vacuum as needed
Kitchens: Clean surfaces, dust appliances, wipe cupboards, clean oven and fridge, and wash floors
Bathrooms: Sanitize sinks, baths, toilets, floors and counters
All Rooms: Vacuum and mop throughout, replace bed linen, clean lampshades, furniture, and light fittings
Rates do vary but the average is QR 35- 45 an hour.
