Cleaning a New Lusail Apartment Before You Move In

Lusail is still being built around you, and a newly handed-over apartment carries the evidence: fine plaster dust in cupboards and AC grilles, protective film on frames and appliances, and a dull haze on new tiles. The best time to deal with it is before your furniture arrives.

Quick answer: Clean a new Lusail apartment before you move in. Work top to bottom and dry before wet: dust ceilings, grilles and cupboards first, then remove film and stickers, then wash. Never use acid on marble. A move-in deep clean starts from QAR 400 for a studio.

What Builders Leave Behind

• Plaster, grout and cement dust, finer than normal household dust
• Protective film on window frames, appliances and cabinet doors
• Paint spots and silicone smears on glass, tiles and fittings
• Cement haze on tiles after grouting
• Debris in sliding door tracks and drains

The Right Order

• 1. Dry dust from the top down: ceilings, light fittings, AC grilles, cupboard tops.
• 2. Vacuum everything, inside every cupboard and drawer, before any water.
• 3. Peel film and stickers slowly, and lift adhesive with a suitable remover.
• 4. Wash surfaces and glass. Paint spots on glass lift with a glass scraper held flat.
• 5. Floors last, with the right product for the material.

Floor-to-ceiling glass is the best thing about a Lusail apartment. It is also the thing that shows every streak.

Protect the New Surfaces

Acidic cleaners, including vinegar and limescale removers, etch marble and natural stone. Use a pH-neutral cleaner on stone and test anything new in a hidden corner first.

What This Means in Practice

New towers in Lusail, on The Pearl-Qatar and in Al Kheesa, Jeryan Jenaihat and Al Egla are where most new handovers happen. If the flat has had work done since, such as a new kitchen or flooring, our post-renovation cleaning guide covers the heavier clean-up, and our move-in and move-out checklist covers the rest of the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a move-in clean cost in Lusail?
House cleaning in Lusail starts from QAR 50 an hour for regular cleaning, and a deep clean is priced by home size: QAR 400 for a studio, QAR 500 for one bedroom, QAR 650 for two, QAR 850 for a three-bedroom apartment and QAR 1,000 for a three-bedroom villa. Heavy post-construction clean-up is charged from QAR 120 an hour.

Should I clean before or after the furniture arrives?
Before, so every cupboard and skirting board can be reached.

Can you remove paint spots from glass?
Yes, in most cases, with the right scraper and remover.

Is one clean enough?
Usually. Building dust can keep settling for a week or two, so some people book a lighter follow-up clean after moving in.
