Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Asalah, Jeddah
Al Asalah is a recently established district in far north Jeddah near King Abdullah Sports City, with new villa and apartment schemes still under construction. Unsurfaced streets and incomplete drainage mean construction dust from excavation and building work drifts into new homes easily and settles on every surface.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Asalah
New villas and apartment blocks here have never known an old cleaning routine, so construction dust has accumulated on surfaces and floors need deep cleaning before any disinfection can work effectively. For the method itself, see what disinfection and sanitisation involves.
-
The first reason
Ongoing building carries construction dust into homes
Excavation, foundations and active building work raise fine construction dust that floats on air currents. New homes trap this dust in fabrics and air, so deep cleaning first must remove all construction residue before disinfection.
-
The second reason
Vacant plots between homes carry different dust and grit
Unsurfaced ground between properties carries dry dust and fine grit, entering from gardens and courtyards with every footstep. This is a different dust from street dust and needs attention to the perimeter as well as the home.
-
The third reason
New unpaved streets need constant watering
Streets have not been sealed, so continuous water spray controls construction dust, meaning extra moisture enters homes. Disinfection must account for drying out excess water brought in from street watering.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Asalah
The district is very new with ongoing construction and vacant plots between homes, streets are not yet paved, so dust from digging and building floats easily and enters new homes through every window and door.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Deep cleaning first must remove construction dust and fine grit from every surface and corner before any disinfection begins.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
High-touch surfaces in new villas may trap construction dust, not only ordinary bacteria from use and daily contact.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
Taps and drains in new homes may still hold building debris and grit, requiring cleaning and inspection before disinfection.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
Kitchen surfaces in new villas have never been used but still trap construction dust from the air and open windows during building.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains and grout lines may hold sand and dust from building, needing intensive cleaning before disinfection can begin.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after disinfection is easier in new villas because windows are wide, but windows must stay open for hours to dry out any remaining moisture from construction watering.

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.

Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Asalah
Does construction dust affect how well disinfection works?
Yes, significantly. Construction dust differs from ordinary dust, coarser and heavier. It must be cleaned deeply first, or the disinfectant will not reach the surface beneath.
How do I handle moisture from street dust control spraying?
Street watering leaves floors damp constantly. You may need extra drying before disinfection, and stronger ventilation afterwards to remove the absorbed moisture.
Do new homes need a different disinfection approach?
Yes. New homes have never had an old cleaning routine, so construction debris can be trapped in corners and grout lines. Deep cleaning first is essential.
When should a new home be disinfected after moving in?
After the initial deep clean, wait at least one day. This gives all surfaces time to dry completely from cleaning, allowing the disinfectant to work properly.
Do new fabrics and furnishings need separate treatment?
Yes. New fabrics may trap construction dust, and disinfection may need separate treatment for curtains and furniture that has been stored on site.
How is Al Asalah disinfection different from older districts?
Al Asalah needs deep pre-cleaning to remove construction dust first, whilst older districts may only need surface disinfection on well-established surfaces.
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 Asalah 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 Asalah.
