Jerusalem has one cleaning season that does not exist anywhere else on the same scale: the weeks before Pesach. Everything about booking a cleaner here is easier if you know whether you are inside that window or outside it.
Pesach is the busiest fortnight of the year
Demand for deep cleaning in the two to three weeks before Pesach is higher than at any other point, prices rise with it, and the best cleaners are booked weeks ahead. If you need a deep clean in that window, book early. If your clean is not tied to the festival, book outside it and pay less.
The three jobs people book
End-of-lease. An empty flat returned to a standard that releases the deposit — oven, inside cupboards, windows, the lot.
Pre-Pesach. A deep clean, often room by room over several days rather than one visit. Say clearly whether you want the whole flat or specific rooms.
Post-renovation. Construction dust, which a normal deep clean will not shift and which costs more.
Jerusalem stone and old tiled floors hold dust differently from modern porcelain. If your floors are original, mention it — it changes the method and the time.
