Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Fanar, Jeddah
Al Fanar is a new district on the northern edge of Jeddah, where construction is ongoing and vacant plots sit between newly built villas. Fine sand enters constantly from outside, and surfaces must be cleaned before disinfection so the product can actually work on what needs it.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Fanar
New-laid streets stir up very fine dust in the wind, and disinfection work here requires extra protection for glass and open plan windows to remain effective. For the method itself, see how we approach disinfection and sanitisation.
-
The first reason
Sand entering from gardens and courtyards continuously
Every villa has an open courtyard or garden, meaning daily movement between inside and outside. The fine sand sticks to smooth surfaces before disinfection and clogs the pores, so thorough sweeping and washing is needed first to expose the actual surface.
-
The second reason
Chalky scale from irrigation spray buildup
Sprinkler spray dries to white rings on tiles and marble. This scale needs removing before disinfection or it shields the surface underneath and wastes the product on a layer of mineral deposit instead.
-
The third reason
Newly laid concrete and construction dust on all surfaces
Vacant plots and ongoing building work mean construction dust settles on every flat surface. Fresh concrete and new brick absorb grime quickly, so deep cleaning before disinfection is the only way to reach what matters.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Fanar
Floors are mostly marble or porcelain with wide windows, and every home has a garden or courtyard that brings fine sand indoors daily and leaves chalky spray marks from irrigation on the tiles.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
New concrete and exposed cement need vigorous washing first to remove fine dust and construction debris before any disinfectant product can be effective.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
Door handles, courtyard floors and railings collect sand and dust constantly, so they need special attention during initial cleaning before disinfection begins.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
New bathrooms need clearing of construction residue first, then disinfection, especially around drains and corners where particles gather.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
A new kitchen may have building dust on all surfaces, so we clean it thoroughly before disinfecting any food preparation area.
-
Drains and grout lines
New grout lines between tiles trap very fine dust particles, so they need scrubbing and washing before any disinfectant is applied.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
The air in a newly occupied house carries dust from outside, so we leave all windows open for hours after disinfection to let it clear completely.
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.
Landmarks of Al Fanar
Al Fanar sits on the north Jeddah boundary between Jeddah Madinah Road to the west and King Abdulaziz Road to the south. We access homes through the organised new subdivisions near Al Iman Park, and we plan disinfection scheduling based on each home's proximity to King Saud Road or the main entrances.

What is different about North Jeddah
North Jeddah is largely newer villa districts and compounds around Obhur and inland from it. Homes here tend to have marble or porcelain floors, large windows and a garden or courtyard, so the routine is set by what comes in from outside: fine sand carried on sandals, and sprinkler spray that dries to a chalky ring on tiles. Near the creek and the coast, sea air leaves a faint salt film on glass and on outdoor cushions, which stiffens fabric. Curtains and upholstery in these open plan rooms catch the dust that settles overnight.
Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Fanar
How do I know the disinfectant reaches below the sand and grime?
We clean the entire surface first with water and brushes until the original colour shows through, then disinfect. You cannot disinfect something with dirt on top, so the order is everything here.
Does a brand new villa need disinfection or just deep cleaning?
New construction brings building dust, concrete residue and wall moisture, and while it may be safe from germs the surface is not clean. We assess the situation with you first before recommending what's needed.
Sand blows in every day, so will the disinfection last long?
Disinfection keeps its effect on a clean surface. But if sand comes back inside it reduces the impact, so keeping things clean between treatments is the real key.
Can we disinfect outdoor surfaces and the courtyard too?
Yes, but outdoor ground and patio need sweeping and pressure washing first to remove heavy dust and buildup, then disinfecting. The product does not penetrate old grime.
When can we open windows after disinfection?
Once the product has had time to work as needed, we ventilate the whole house by opening every window and door. We tell you the exact timing before we finish.
Is the product safe for a new home if children live there?
We use products approved for use in occupied spaces. But we allow full contact time for the disinfectant to work, then ventilate completely before anyone returns home.
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 Fanar 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 Fanar.
