Exact chemical consumption cost per 35 m² (377 sq ft) studio clean in Dubai. Calculated from real product consumption rates using professional B2B household chemicals — all purpose cleaner, antibacterial floor cleaner, glass cleaner and dish soap.
Dubai's short-term rental and serviced apartment market is dominated by studio units in the 30–40 m² range. The calculations below use a 35 m² (377 sq ft) standard studio as the reference — a typical unit with a combined living/sleeping area, kitchenette, bathroom and balcony. This is the same reference used by Dubai's hotel and property management sector when calculating per-room housekeeping costs.
All consumption figures below are based on a single full clean of this studio — surface cleaning, floor mopping, glass surfaces and kitchenette dishwashing. The consumption rates reflect professional cleaning practice, not one-off deep cleaning.
The table below shows the chemical consumption cost per 35 m² studio clean. These figures represent only the cost of the chemical consumed — not the product purchase price, not delivery, not documentation. Just the portion of the product used per clean, expressed in AED.
| Product | SKU | Usage per Studio | Dilution / Method | Cost per Studio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Purpose Cleaner | VT-GC-001 | 40 ml | 1:40 dilution — 40ml concentrate per 1L working solution | AED 0.24 |
| Antibacterial Floor & Surface Cleaner | VT-DS-007 | 50 ml | 50ml per 5L mop solution — one bucket per 35m² studio | AED 0.24 |
| Glass Cleaner | VT-GC-004 | 50 ml | 50ml average — windows, bathroom mirror, balcony door | AED 1.40 |
| Dish Soap | VT-KC-001 | 35 ml | 35ml per full dishwashing — standard studio kitchen | AED 0.70 |
| Total chemical consumption cost — 35 m² (377 sq ft) studio | AED 2.58 | |||
Chemical cost per m²: AED 0.0736 · Chemical cost per sq ft: AED 0.0068. These figures are useful for scaling cost estimates to different unit sizes — multiply by your actual floor area to get a property-specific figure.
Each product below shows the precise consumption calculation. All costs are live-computed from current product data — the AED figure shown reflects only the portion of product consumed per studio clean.
All purpose cleaner is used for general surface cleaning throughout the studio — countertops, bathroom surfaces, appliance exteriors and general wiping. The professional dilution range is 1:5 (heavy contamination) to 1:40 (standard maintenance clean). For a routine studio turnaround, the minimum concentration of 1:40 applies — 40ml of concentrate to approximately 960ml of water, producing a 1-litre working solution that covers the full studio surface area at standard application.
The antibacterial floor cleaner is used for the full floor area of the studio — the principal surface in a 35 m² unit. A standard mop bucket holds 5 litres of working solution, which is sufficient for one full mop of a 35 m² floor. The consumption rate is 50ml of concentrate per 5-litre bucket, yielding a 1:100 dilution. The antibacterial formulation is selected specifically because Dubai Municipality hygiene standards for serviced apartments and hotel apartments require demonstrable antibacterial efficacy on floor surfaces.
A standard 35 m² Dubai studio has three glass surfaces requiring cleaning per turnover: one or two windows (depending on layout), a bathroom mirror, and a balcony sliding door. The average total glass surface in this configuration requires 50ml of glass cleaner applied directly from the bottle via trigger spray. This accounts for the typical streak-free wipe-down expected in hotel-grade and serviced apartment turnovers in Dubai.
Dubai's serviced apartment and hotel apartment sector requires full kitchenette cleaning on every turnover, including dishwashing of glassware, crockery and cutlery left by the previous guest. A standard studio kitchenette turnover uses 35ml of dish soap — approximately two full pump dispenses — for a full washing cycle. This is the standard consumption rate for manual dishwashing in a single-use studio kitchen context.
