Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Asla, Jeddah
Al Asla is a residential district in east Jeddah with simple housing character and relatively newer streets, with shops on ground floors and apartments above them, and disinfection here differs because the area is mid-aged: surfaces are not very old but not new either, and shared facilities and drains need focus because of population density.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Asla
Residents in Al Asla are diverse, many are workers and contract staff, and shared flats experience constant turnover of occupants moving in and out. For the method itself, see what disinfection and sanitisation involves.
-
The first reason
Mid-aged surfaces and shared facilities
The area is not very old so surfaces remain in reasonable condition, but shared facilities: staircases, railings and drains are touched by many people. Disinfection focuses on these high-contact points.
-
The second reason
Diverse residents and constant turnover
Shared flats may house families or workers, and continuous population turnover increases the spread of germs. Shared entry matters more than any single flat.
-
The third reason
Small shops beneath some flats
A few ground floor shops release odours and may add humidity. Disinfection must treat drains and ventilation with care because of these sources.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Asla
A simply built residential area in the eastern sprawl toward the hills and valleys, with relatively newer streets and small apartments and villas mixed with a few ground floor shops.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Mid-aged surfaces carry street dust and cooking grease but no decades of sediment. Initial cleaning focuses on removing dust and surface grease.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
Shared railings, doors and entry handles are touched by multiple residents. We apply disinfection by hand to these high-contact points.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
Bathroom taps and toilet fittings carry light mineral deposits from water. Light cleaning before disinfection is applied.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
Small kitchen surfaces may hold cooking grease. We clean these thoroughly before disinfection.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains collect street dust and cooking grease. We give them simple cleaning then disinfection.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after disinfection is needed but flats without gardens have limited air circulation. We may leave windows open longer.
Not included
- Deep cleaning of heavy grease, clutter or built-up stains, a separate service
- Mould remediation inside walls, ceilings or plumbing
- Pest treatment, a different service with different materials
- Medical-grade sterilisation of instruments or equipment
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 Asla
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
A mixed district means a few shops with shared flats alongside, and the shared facilities plus diverse residents mean disinfection must focus on common areas more than the interior of any single flat.
Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Asla
Should a shared flat in Al Asla be disinfected differently from a villa?
Yes, the shared entry and stairs are priorities. A single flat may need less disinfection than the shared entry does.
Does constant resident turnover increase how often disinfection is needed?
Yes, each new tenant may bring new contamination. Shared flats need more frequent disinfection than isolated villas.
Are mid-aged surfaces easier or harder to disinfect than new ones?
Mid-aged surfaces are easier than very old ones. There is light wear but no decades of scale and rust.
Do ground floor shops need separate treatment?
They may. We agree with you beforehand on who is responsible for shared entry and ground floor areas.
Should carpets and curtains in Al Asla be washed before disinfection?
Yes, popular housing here may carry street dust and cooking grease. We wash these first then disinfect.
Is one disinfection enough for a shared flat in Al Asla?
One initial disinfection may serve the flat, but a shared entry may need disinfection every six months.
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 Asla 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 Asla.
