Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Durrah, Jeddah
Al Durrah is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of the new urban extension with mostly newly released land and housing. New homes need disinfection, but ongoing building and vacant plots around the district bring constant construction dust. Disinfection here starts with deep cleaning before any product can work.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Durrah
Vacant land and newly built homes mean construction dust enters daily from under doors. Surfaces, windows and curtains collect layers of fine dust before any disinfectant can dry and set properly. For the method itself, see how we approach disinfection and sanitisation.
-
The first reason
New homes in a location with vacant land and ongoing building
Al Durrah has new homes surrounded by vacant land and active building. Fine construction dust creeps in under doors and settles on every surface. Disinfection requires cleaning first before it can work.
-
The second reason
New marble and ceramic floors are sensitive to chemicals
New homes have marble or fresh ceramic floors and contemporary design. Disinfection must be careful not to leave marks or damage the surface. The product is tested first on a hidden area.
-
The third reason
Northern location near coast brings humidity and salt
Al Durrah in north Jeddah is close to the sea, so humidity is high and salt deposits on outer surfaces. Disinfection must handle both moisture and salt working together.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Durrah
A subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of the new urban extension mostly made up of newly released land and housing, served by main roads linking it to the Jeddah Madinah Road.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
New construction dust requires cleaning first with a broom or damp cloth before any disinfection is applied, as the product cannot work through dust and only sits on top.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
High-touch surfaces in a new home like handles and switches gather construction dust quickly, so we clean thoroughly first, then disinfect carefully to avoid leaving marks.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
The new bathroom may hold construction residue and adhesive. We clean it deeply first, then disinfect with a gentle product suited to fresh surfaces and finishes.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
Kitchen surfaces with new marble need cleaning with water only or gentle soap first, then very gentle disinfection so we do not hazing or marking on the fresh stone.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains and grout may hold adhesive and construction debris, so we clean with a brush and hot water first, then disinfect, being careful not to damage new grout lines.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after disinfection in a new district is very important because dry air from building and coastal moisture mix together. We leave windows open for at least two hours.

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 Durrah
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
New development means ongoing construction around homes. Construction dust enters daily. New surfaces are sensitive to strong disinfectants. Disinfection here differs because initial cleaning is deeper and the product is gentler than in completed districts.

Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Durrah
Does ongoing construction dust continuously reduce how the disinfectant works?
Yes. In a district with active building, dust enters constantly. Disinfection needs cleaning first, and may require every-two-weeks treatment instead of monthly while building continues.
Do new marble and ceramic surfaces need special careful disinfection?
Yes. New surfaces are sensitive. We test the product on a hidden area first and may use a gentler concentration than standard to avoid marking or damaging the fresh finish.
Does a newly developing district need different disinfection than completed areas?
Yes, it does differ. A new district needs deeper initial cleaning because building is ongoing. We recommend disinfection a week after moving in, then every two weeks while construction continues.
Do curtains and carpets in a new home need washing before disinfection?
Always yes. Construction dust penetrates fine fabric. Light washing or deep cleaning before disinfection is essential so we can treat the clean material underneath the dust.
Does salt from the northern coastal location affect the disinfectant choice?
Yes, it does matter. Salt changes how some disinfectants perform. We choose a product that works effectively even with salt and high humidity present together.
How often should a new home in Al Durrah be disinfected?
Disinfection a week after moving in, then every two weeks because building is ongoing in the area. After construction finishes around the district, we can move to monthly intervals.
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 Durrah 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 Durrah.
