Why does deep cleaning before Passover require a special approach?

Deep cleaning before Passover is not just about tidying up; it is an essential part of preparing your home for the holiday, requiring the thorough removal of chametz. Given Israel's climate, where sand and dust quickly penetrate homes, traditional cleaning of every corner of an apartment takes a single family between 30 and 50 hours of intensive labor. That is why delegating this task to professionals is the only way to save your energy and holiday spirit.

Many people fear trusting strangers in their space. At EzraHome, we understand this concern. All our specialists undergo a triple verification process: ID verification, an in-depth interview, and reference checks. You aren't just getting an extra pair of hands; you are getting a responsible professional who understands the specifics of preparing a home for Passover.

How much does deep cleaning cost in Israel in 2026?

The cost of deep cleaning an apartment before Passover in Israel ranges from 800 to 2,500 NIS, depending on the property's size and the volume of additional tasks. The final price is determined by the number of rooms, the need for window washing, the deep cleaning of kitchen cabinets for chametz, and the use of specialized cleaning agents.

How to choose a trusted cleaning specialist?

A reliable home helper is a specialist who works legally, adheres to timing, and guarantees the quality of their work. The cleaning market in Israel is crowded, but finding someone you can trust with your apartment keys is a serious task. At EzraHome, we take that risk upon ourselves.

• Reference Checks: We contact previous employers.
• Legal Compliance: We assist with legal requirements (Bituach Leumi) so you are protected by law.
• Language Comfort: We match you with a specialist you feel comfortable communicating with — in Russian, Hebrew, or English.
• Replacement Guarantee: If the cleaner is not a good fit for any reason, we will promptly provide a replacement.

When is the best time to book a cleaning before Passover?

The optimal time to book a cleaning is 3-4 weeks before the holiday to ensure you get your preferred date and time. As Passover approaches, the schedules of all professional specialists fill up, making it harder to find someone available. Booking in advance not only allows you to choose the best specialist but also avoids the "holiday markup" that often accompanies urgent orders.
