## What a Diwali deep clean covers

The Diwali package on Solve24 is usually deeper than a monthly clean — it includes ceilings, tops of wardrobes, behind furniture, and kitchen chimney. Confirm the exact scope on WhatsApp before booking to avoid the "that's not included" surprise.

- Ceiling fans, chandeliers, tube light dusting.
- Wall cobweb removal.

- Behind sofa, TV cabinet, fridge — where a monthly clean skips.

## When to book — Diwali timing rule

From experience of the last two Diwalis, the pricing curve looks like this:

- First week of October — best rates, full slot availability.
- Second week of October — rates start to rise 10–15%.
- Third week (2 weeks before Diwali) — 20–30% premium, 3-day wait.
- Diwali week itself — 25–40% premium, often 5-day wait, some cleaners fully booked.
- Post-Diwali — rates drop back for post-festival cleaning demand.

## What to do yourself vs hire out

A Diwali clean is the biggest deep clean of the year, but you can still split the work sensibly.

- DIY: wardrobe interior decluttering, kitchen pantry sort-out, taking down old curtains.
- Hire out: ceiling fans, chimney, cabinet interiors, bathroom deep clean, sofa cleaning.
- Also hire: painter for touch-ups (₹7–₹15 per sq ft labour), if walls have marks.
- Also hire: plumber for tap descaling and silicone reseal (₹300–₹800).
- Also hire: electrician for a full-home light and switch check (₹300–₹800).

## Solve24 vs commission-based apps for Diwali

Commission-based apps charge ₹4,000–₹6,000 for a 2BHK Diwali package because they add a 20–30% platform cut. Solve24 cleaners quote ₹2,800–₹4,500 for the same 2BHK scope and take the full payment. Ask specifically for scope in writing on WhatsApp — this is a busy week, and any ambiguity gets exploited by both sides.
