Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Al Jamiah, Jeddah
Al Jamiah is an established dense district south of central Jeddah, apartment blocks pressed together above shops, restaurants and markets, busiest around Al Jamiah Roundabout and Andalusia Hospital. Constant movement between street and home means high-touch surfaces, and old floors trap deep grime from years of foot traffic.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Jamiah
Apartments here often have old terrazzo or ceramic floors, worn smooth from decades of use and easily stained by cooking grease that drifts up from the street below. For the method itself, see the full disinfection and sanitisation page.
-
The first reason
Old floors trap grime deep in worn surfaces
Worn terrazzo and old ceramic is smooth from long use and traps soil in cracks and worn patches. Cleaning needs deep treatment because grime has not been removed in years.
-
The second reason
Cooking grease rises from street level shops
Markets and restaurants below the flats cook all day, and oily vapours rise through cracks and vents. Grease settles on ceilings and upper walls and blocks disinfectant completely.
-
The third reason
Heavy scale has built up on old taps and pipes
Old plumbing and hard water leave thick scale deposits on taps and drains. This scale blocks disinfectant, and cleaning needs special treatment to remove it.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Al Jamiah
The district is very dense with older apartment blocks and popular shops on ground floors, with shared entrances touched by many unfamiliar hands every single day.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Deep cleaning here must remove deep grime from old worn floors and heavy mineral scale from pipes and taps.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
High-touch surfaces include shared entrances, stairs and lifts, because foot traffic from shops is very heavy and continuous.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
Taps and drains hold heavy mineral deposits from hard water, needing special treatment before disinfection begins.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
Kitchen surfaces in the flat trap both home cooking grease and vapour residue from street shops, so cleaning needs deeper treatment.
-
Drains and grout lines
Drains and grout lines hold mineral scale and accumulated grime from years, needing brush and intensive cleaning before disinfection.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after disinfection must be strong, because cooking vapours from shops below will return quickly unless air is actively driven out.
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 Jamiah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
Apartments have shared entrances and constant street and shop foot traffic below. Disinfection must include shared stairs and lifts as well, and may need repetition because recontamination from street and shop activities happens daily.

Questions about disinfection and sanitisation in Al Jamiah
Are old floors harder to disinfect than new ones?
Yes. Worn floors trap grime in cracks, and cleaning needs a brush, not just mopping. The worn surfaces hold bacteria deeper than smooth new tiles.
Why does bad smell return quickly in Al Jamiah?
Cooking vapours rise constantly, and mineral scale traps odours. Disinfection must remove scale first to stop odour returning.
Do shared entrances need separate treatment?
Yes, absolutely. Shared entrances touch outside hands every hour, and stairs and lifts need intensive treatment, not just apartment disinfection.
How often does an old flat need disinfecting?
More often than new flats, because old floors trap grime and recontamination from the street happens faster.
Is one disinfection enough in such a dense area?
One treatment provides initial protection, but recontamination from the street and shops happens fast, so repetition may be needed.
How is Al Jamiah different from newer districts?
Al Jamiah is old, with smooth worn floors that trap deep grime. Newer districts have bright floors that clean more easily.
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 Jamiah 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 Jamiah.
