Hiring a House Cleaning Service in Lebanon: Scope, Pricing & Trust

Cleaning companies in Lebanon range from family-run two-person teams to fully insured firms with uniforms, supervisors, and supplied chemicals. The fit depends on your home and frequency.

Match the service to the job

• Standard maintenance — weekly or bi-weekly, 3–5 hours, dusting, vacuum, mop, kitchen, bathrooms.
• Deep clean — one-off, 6–10 hours, includes inside oven, fridge defrost, behind appliances, baseboards, light fixtures, window interior glass.
• Post-construction — specialized; dust removal from HVAC vents, paint splatter scraping, grout sealing.
• Move-in / move-out — combined deep clean + appliance interiors + cabinet interiors.
• Curtain, sofa, carpet — specialty cleaners (hot-water extraction); usually a separate booking.

What to confirm in writing

1. Hourly or flat rate, number of cleaners, expected hours.
2. Who provides supplies — eco-friendly preference, kid/pet-safe products.
3. Coverage for breakage and theft. Reputable firms carry liability insurance.
4. Replacement policy if you are unhappy with the result — most reputable firms will return within 24 hours.

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.
