Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Aqeeq, Jeddah
Al Aqeeq is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of the new urban extension mostly of newly released land plots with ongoing construction nearby. The northern new location means marble and porcelain surfaces are pristine, but active building sites and vacant plots raise airborne dust significantly: white dust from concrete and excavation sand drift into homes easily and settle on new marble and tile.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Aqeeq
New villas in Al Aqeeq need regular disinfection not from wear, but because ongoing construction raises concrete dust and white building debris that enters homes easily and sticks to new marble and porcelain surfaces. For the method itself, see the full disinfection and sanitisation page.
-
The first reason
White concrete dust from ongoing construction and excavation
Continuous building around Al Aqeeq raises white concrete and sand dust. This dust is lighter and whiter than ordinary road dust, and enters villas easily through windows and doors. On white marble and light porcelain, this dust shows immediately.
-
The second reason
New marble surfaces need gentle pre cleaning before disinfecting
New marble is not like aged worn terrazzo, but pristine. White dust bonds to it easily, and cleaning needs special product that does not scratch new luxury marble. Disinfectant after it must also be safe for new marble.
-
The third reason
Excavation moisture beneath accelerates mould in bathrooms
Excavation around the villa raises groundwater moisture. Bathrooms experience higher than normal humidity, and mould grows fast on marble and porcelain in the bathroom despite being brand new.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Aqeeq
The district is very new and building is ongoing, with new marble and porcelain flooring throughout. Vacant land and ongoing excavation nearby mean the air carries white concrete dust and excavation sand at high levels.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Before disinfecting we remove white construction dust carefully from new marble using special cleaner that does not scratch the surface, especially from windows and high level surfaces.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
Door and window marble handles carry worker hand marks and construction dust. Gentle but thorough cleaning first, then disinfection, is essential.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
Bathroom taps and marble handles sit under moisture from excavation and construction nearby. Gentle cleaning then disinfection prevents mould growing on new marble.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
Kitchen work surfaces and fridge handles carry white construction dust. Gentle cleaning with special product first, then disinfection safe for new marble and surfaces.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains and grout lines in bathroom tiles experience high moisture from building activity around the villa. Gentle cleaning then disinfection prevents mould on new tile.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
After disinfection we open windows for ventilation but time it with light wind to prevent new construction dust entering. We walk you through to confirm approval of results.
Not included

How disinfection is actually done
-
1
We ask what happened, then plan for it
A move-in, an illness and an after-party aren't the same job.
-
2
Clean the surface before disinfecting
Grime and grease shield what's under them.
-
3
Contact time, not just a wipe
A disinfectant has to stay wet on the surface to work.
-
4
High-touch points by hand
Handles, switches, taps and rails are done by hand because they carry the most and need direct contact that fogging alone doesn't give.
-
5
Fog the air and soft furnishings
Once the hard surfaces are done, a fine fog reaches the air, the fabrics and the corners a cloth can't, settling over what hand-wiping misses.
-
6
Ventilate, then walk it with you
We open up and air the rooms, then walk the home with you before leaving.

The character of Al Aqeeq
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A newly developing district with ongoing construction means main pollutants are not age and wear, but construction itself. Concrete dust and excavation moisture are the two problems. Disinfection here must be gentle to protect new surfaces, yet thorough enough to remove construction debris.
Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Aqeeq
Why does a new villa need disinfection with construction going on around it?
Ongoing building raises white concrete dust that enters the villa. This dust differs from ordinary air dust, and bonds to surfaces easily. Disinfection helps remove these construction pollutants along with other airborne matter.
Is the disinfectant safe on luxury new marble surfaces?
Yes, we select product specifically safe for new marble. Pre cleaning is also gentle to avoid scratching the surface. Disinfectant after it is completely safe for marble and porcelain.
Does excavation moisture beneath the villa affect disinfection effectiveness?
Yes, high moisture accelerates mould and fungal growth. Disinfection helps, but improving ventilation and drying is also necessary. We may recommend running an air dehumidifier during construction.
How often should the new villa in Al Aqeeq be disinfected?
During construction and development around the villa, it may need monthly disinfection or as needed. Once building stops, frequency drops. We recommend based on construction activity near the villa.
Can we protect the villa from construction dust during disinfection?
Yes, we close windows and doors during disinfection to prevent construction dust entering from outside. After disinfection we open them for ventilation, but time it with light wind conditions.
Does white concrete dust need different cleaning than ordinary dust?
Yes, concrete dust is heavier and stickier. It needs pre wiping first before disinfectant, and disinfectant after it works more effectively.
Is this the same as deep cleaning?
No. Deep cleaning removes built-up dirt, grease and stains. Disinfection reduces germs on surfaces that are already clean. We clean the surface as part of disinfecting, but heavy build-up is a separate deep-clean job, and we'll say so if that's what you need.
Can you disinfect after someone has been ill?
Yes, and it's one of the more common reasons people call. We focus on the high-touch points and shared surfaces where illness lingers, clean them first, then treat with contact time. Tell us which rooms the person used most so we concentrate there.
How much does disinfection and sanitisation in Al Aqeeq cost?
It is set after the inspection, because it follows the size of the job, the materials involved and their condition. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Aqeeq.
