Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Furqan, Jeddah
Al Furqan is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, a newly developing district with recently released land and new housing stock. Construction continues and vacant plots surround occupied homes, meaning construction dust, grit and concrete particles enter new homes constantly and unavoidably. Disinfection here requires understanding construction contaminants as a priority before addressing biological hazards, because the home is newly built and dust is an external ongoing problem.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Furqan
New residents in Al Furqan notice that construction dust enters the new home with every step, and windows and surfaces become grey within days of moving in, never returning to new condition despite daily cleaning. For the method itself, see the full disinfection and sanitisation page.
-
The first reason
Cement dust and grit from active construction nearby
Vacant plots and building sites around the district release fine cement dust and coarse grit daily into homes through windows, doors and footwear. It settles on every surface and accumulates faster than in established areas.
-
The second reason
Brand new furniture and windows dirty rapidly
New furniture, new windows and recently laid floors become grey with construction dust within weeks. Disinfection will not clean them if they are not cleaned first, because dust blocks the product entirely.
-
The third reason
Construction contaminants are different from life-living contaminants
Building dust and grit do not result from daily living but from the developing external environment. Disinfection requires a different cleaning foundation before any biological treatment is attempted.

A subdivision within the newest plans of the northern Jeddah extension, with recently released land and newly built housing, where the environment is still under active development with ongoing building and services in advanced stages.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Cleaning before disinfection in Al Furqan must prioritise removal of construction dust and grit before any other treatment begins.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
High-touch surfaces in new homes may carry construction dust and need manual cleaning before disinfection is applied.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
New bathrooms may contain residue from building materials and finishing work, needing thorough cleaning before treatment.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
A new kitchen may carry construction dust on food preparation surfaces, requiring vigorous cleaning before disinfectant application.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains and grout lines in a new home may hold building residue and mortar dust, needing separate cleaning attention.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after treatment is important, and windows should remain open for extended periods until disinfectant has dried and fresh air circulates fully.

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 Furqan
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
A new development means primary contaminants here are construction and building residue, not accumulated living residue. Disinfection requires an approach where removing construction dust is the foundation, and new furniture and textiles may need initial separate handling before household-wide disinfection treatment begins.
Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Furqan
Does construction dust affect how well disinfection works in a new home?
Yes, severely. Construction dust blocks disinfectant completely. Deep cleaning and thorough sweeping before disinfection is absolutely necessary.
When should a new home be disinfected after moving in to Al Furqan?
Wait at least one week for moving dust and construction dust to settle. Then deep clean thoroughly, then disinfect completely before permanent occupation.
Do new furnishings and fabrics need separate treatment before disinfection?
Yes, new furniture carries industrial dust. Washing new curtains and cleaning new furniture before disinfection is important.
How do I protect new floors from scratching while cleaning before disinfection?
Good sweeping and gentle mopping are essential. Never drag a mop loaded with grit across the floor. Heavy sweeping is better than vigorous mopping.
Do new homes in Al Furqan need different disinfection from established older neighbourhoods?
Yes absolutely. New homes need thorough pre-cleaning to remove construction residue and finishing dust before any disinfection treatment.
Is one disinfection treatment enough after moving into a new home?
No. Active construction around the area means new dust enters continuously. Regular disinfection is more practical than one treatment that will soon recontaminate.
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 Furqan 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 Furqan.
