The neighbourhood dates from the nineteenth century; Al Dhahab Street divides it into a port facing section and a popular inland quarter.

What changes about apartment cleaning in Al Hindawiyah

Dense flats in Al Hindawiyah hold constant humidity from the port and sea, and mould and damp appear within days if the flat is not well ventilated. For the method itself, see how we approach apartment cleaning.

The first reason
Very high humidity from Jeddah port and sea breeding persistent mould in every corner

Al Hindawiyah sits close to Jeddah Islamic Port and the sea, and humidity here is higher than anywhere else in Jeddah. Bathrooms and damp corners become permanent mould breeding grounds even with good ventilation. Fabrics and furnishings hold faint moisture and strong musty smells.
The second reason
Intense commercial density beneath the flats: dust, odours and constant traffic rising up

Al Hindawiyah has hundreds of shops and markets on the ground floors. Dust, odours and humidity from the premises rise into the flats continuously. This is not a normal residential neighbourhood, but a heavily mixed commercial and residential quarter.
The third reason
Apartments in very old buildings with cheap flooring and weak pipework throughout

Buildings in Al Hindawiyah date from the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Floors are ordinary stone or cheap ceramic. Electrical and plumbing fixings are weak and very old, and moisture seeps through the stone walls from foundations.

How an apartment is actually cleaned

1
We walk the flat with you first

Room by room, before anything starts, so we agree what is in scope and what the price covers.
2
Dust and dry-clean from the top down

High surfaces before low ones, dry before wet.
3
Kitchen and bathroom get the wet work

Degreaser in the kitchen, descaler in the bathroom, each left to act rather than scrubbed dry.
4
Touch points and glass

Switches, handles, door edges and interior glass, the marks at hand height that a floor-and-surface clean walks straight past.
5
Floors last, into the edges

Vacuumed then washed after everything above them is done, worked into corners and skirting rather than just the open middle.
6
A walkthrough with you before we leave

We go back through the flat with you.

Questions about apartment cleaning in Al Hindawiyah

Why is a flat in Al Hindawiyah damp constantly even if ventilation is good?

Humidity from Jeddah port and the sea is very high and permanent. Stone walls in old buildings absorb moisture from the ground up and need regular cleaning and thorough drying.

How do we handle mould that appears so rapidly in the bathroom and corners?

Mould in Al Hindawiyah appears fast because humidity is extremely high. Deep grout and wall cleaning is essential, and complete drying is needed even after cleaning. Constant daily ventilation is necessary.

Are the very old cheap floors safe and easy to clean?

Very old floors in Al Hindawiyah are very sensitive. Careful cleaning is essential, without strong scrapers. Correct materials and gentle motion are necessary.

How often should a flat in Al Hindawiyah be cleaned because of humidity and mould?

At least monthly or every six weeks. Humidity and mould need constant maintenance. Cleaning damp grout and walls every two weeks is necessary.

Can mould smell and permanent dampness be removed from the flat?

Complete removal is impossible because humidity from outside is permanent. But good ventilation and regular cleaning help reduce odours and mould.

Is Al Hindawiyah safe to live in despite all the humidity and mould?

Yes, Al Hindawiyah is a safe popular quarter. But you need to accept humidity and mould as part of the environment, and constant maintenance is necessary.

Do I need to stay in the apartment while the team works?

It helps to be there at the start for the walkthrough and at the end to approve the result, but the hours in between do not need you. Many customers let the team into the flat, step out, and come back for the final walkthrough.

Should I have any supplies ready in the flat before you arrive?

Yes. Machines, cloths and cleaning products all arrive with the team. You do not need to provide anything, and there is no waiting because a machine is at another customer's home.
