Includes police verification, character certificate, MEA security clearance for every worker and aerospace-grade ESD-compliant cleaning protocols. Empanel via HAL vendor registration.

Rs 3,500 to Rs 9,500 per nightly deep clean plus GST 18 percent including hood, grease trap and exhaust degreasing with FSSAI-compatible chemicals. Tunday Kababi, Wahid Biryani, Idris, Dastarkhwan and Adab + Tehzeeb dining houses are the volume buyers. Quote night-shift premium 25 to 40 percent (post-closing 11 PM to 5 AM). Annual contracts at 10 to 15 percent discount with monthly billing.
Hourly rates are ₹750 to ₹1,700 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A₹900-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C₹750-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
