Apartment Cleaning in Al Mahamid, Jeddah

Al Mahamid is an old mixed district east of Jeddah, with shops on the ground floor and flats directly above them. Your flat above takes cooking smells and grease from the shop below. Streets are narrow and drainage is very old. The dry air from the east carries coarser dust. Humidity from old drains brings musty smells. The cleaning job is completely different here.

What changes about apartment cleaning in Al Mahamid

Dry dust from the east is coarser and paler than coastal dust. It settles on every surface overnight. Old drainage systems release musty smells on hot days. For the method itself, see the full apartment cleaning page.

The first reason
Dry coarse dust from the eastern side

East Jeddah is far from the sea and close to the open ground beyond. The air is dry and the dust is coarser and paler in colour. It scratches tile and marble floors. Sofas, mattresses and curtains become the heaviest part of the routine.
The second reason
Cooking smell and grease from the shop below

The shop below your flat releases food smells and cooking oils. Curtains and furniture absorb the smell completely. Ceramic floors become slippery from the grease. The smell lingers in stored fabrics and bedding.
The third reason
Old drainage and musty damp from below

Drainage systems are very old and groundwater moisture rises under the building. Stale smell comes up through the flooring. Bathrooms have permanent mildew. Moisture causes musty smells in clothes and cushions stored in cupboards.

What apartment cleaning covers in Al Mahamid

Unplanned low-rise housing on the eastern edge of Jeddah beside Old Makkah Road. Drainage systems are very old and many streets remain unpaved. Main entry is from Harazat Road. The district is covered by the sub-municipality's programme for reorganising informal areas.

Tops of cupboards and high surfaces

Cupboard tops collect dry coarse dust and light oils from the shop, and need regular wiping.
Kitchen fronts and surfaces

Kitchen work surfaces have old grease deposits from the shop and cooking, and need cleaning with degreasing solution.
Bathroom tile and grout

Bathroom grout is blackened by mould and old moisture from poor drainage, and needs weekly brush cleaning.
Floors treated by type

Ceramic and marble floors scratch from grit, and sweeping before mopping is always essential.
Interior glass and windows

Glass and windows carry coarse dust and dirt from the street, and need frequent cleaning because dust settles again quickly.
Behind furniture and appliances

Behind furniture and appliances, moisture and cooking smells accumulate from poor drainage below, and need frequent deep cleaning.

Not included

Moving or dismantling heavy furniture and appliances
Wall painting, patching or repairing chipped plaster
Clearing construction debris or paint splatter, that is a separate post-build service
Pest extermination, we clean, but we do not spray for insects

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.

The character of Al Mahamid

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

A shop below your flat means your cleaning must tackle smells and grease that rise from below. It is not just removing dust, but removing cooking smells and oils that come up through the building using specialist products and continuous ventilation.

Why us for this service in particular

We clean the flat, not just the view

Tops of cupboards, tracks, vents and touch points are in the job by default.

A team arrives together

The company runs several teams, and we send a team rather than one person.

Our own equipment, not rented

Machines and supplies arrive with the team.

We say no when it is no

If what you need is a painter or a pest service rather than a clean, we tell you.

What is different about East Jeddah

East Jeddah lies furthest from the sea and closest to the open ground and hills beyond the ring roads, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine. Floors are mostly ceramic tile in the apartment districts and marble in the villa areas, both scratched by grit that is mopped rather than swept. Roof tank water leaves a grey film of sediment in baths and basins.

Questions about apartment cleaning in Al Mahamid

Does coarse dust from the east actually scratch marble and ceramic floors?

Yes, very quickly. The dust is coarser than coastal dust. Marble and ceramic both scratch from grit if mopping is done without sweeping first. Sweeping before mopping is essential here.

How do you remove cooking grease smell from old flooring?

Old floors have layers of old grease buildup. Deep cleaning with a solution that breaks down grease is necessary. Then immediate drying. Plain cleaning solutions do not remove the smell from aged floors.

Does the restaurant smell from the shop below really affect your flat above?

Yes. Cooking smells rise through gaps and cracks in the building. Curtains and furniture absorb the smell. Washing curtains every two weeks is necessary to manage it.

Do mould and damp appear quickly in bathrooms here?

Yes. Old drainage pulls moisture up from below ground. Bathrooms have permanent mould. Scrubbing grout weekly and quick drying are essential to prevent constant regrowth.

Do roof tank deposits really affect the cleanliness of the flat?

Yes. Old roof tanks have thick sediment inside. Water carries grey deposits. Taps and basins get dirty quickly. Regular cleaning of taps and basin rims is important.

Should cleaning the flat include the balcony and external spaces?

Yes. The balcony collects dust and cooking smells from the street and the shop below. It must be cleaned with the flat. External gaps let smells and dust into the rooms inside.

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.
