Clean first, then disinfect
The common mistake is spraying disinfectant over dirt.
Disinfection and Sanitisation in Tabah, Jeddah
Tabah is a new district in northern Jeddah with building work ongoing and vacant plots between homes, and its surfaces are new marble and porcelain, but construction around it carries heavy cement dust that settles on everything. Disinfection here must handle clean new surfaces and heavy outside dust together.

What changes about disinfection and sanitisation in Tabah
New home surfaces are bright and dust shows easily on them, and building dust from neighbouring projects settles fast even with good ventilation. For the method itself, see what disinfection and sanitisation involves.
-
The first reason
New surfaces shine but construction dust covers them quickly
New marble and porcelain are smooth and shiny, but building cement dust adheres easily and leaves a layer that dulls the surface. Disinfection must clean this heavy dust first, or the disinfectant will sit on the dust and not work. Mechanical scrubbing may scratch new marble, so we need gentleness.
-
The second reason
Seams and new openings are full of building dust and sand
Construction leaves a fine powder of cement and sand in every opening: around doors, windows and pipes. This dust does not vanish by vacuum or ordinary wiping, it needs careful cleaning before disinfection so the product reaches and kills bacteria beneath the deposits.
-
The third reason
Ongoing building around the district carries metallic and chemical dust
Nearby projects produce dust that is not only cement but metals from steel and copper and chemicals from plumbing and electrics. This mix may leave residues hard to remove by ordinary means, and disinfectant may not work well if these deposits are present.
What disinfection and sanitisation covers in Tabah
Located within the new urban extension of north Jeddah alongside Obhur and Wadi Obhur, served by main roads, but neighbouring construction projects produce heavy building dust year-round.
-
Cleaning before disinfecting
Surface cleaning before disinfection must remove cement dust carefully, not by hard scrubbing so as not to scratch new marble.
-
The surfaces hands touch most
New taps and tap surrounds may carry deposits from first water run through, and need careful cleaning before disinfection.
-
Bathroom taps and handles
Tap outlets and drain openings may be packed with fine building grit, and need initial clearing before disinfectant is applied.
-
Kitchen and food surfaces
New kitchen marble surfaces shine but are sensitive to acids, so disinfection must be neutral strength not harsh.
-
Drains and grout lines
New drains may hold sand and building debris trapped inside, and need mechanical clearing before treatment.
-
Contact time, then ventilation
Ventilation after disinfection is fast because new homes usually have good windows and natural ventilation.
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.

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 Tabah
Do new home shiny surfaces need stronger disinfection than old homes?
No, new home surfaces are harder and tolerate stronger disinfection. But building dust must be removed first or the disinfection will not work at all.
Does construction dust from nearby projects stay in new marble?
Dust clings to marble surface but does not penetrate it. Gentle mechanical cleaning removes it, then disinfection cleans the biological load. Without cleaning first, disinfection alone will fail.
Are seams around new doors and windows packed with sand and cement?
Yes, building leaves powder in every crack. This sand may trap moisture and bacteria, so careful cleaning before disinfection is needed to reach living organisms.
Can a new home be disinfected immediately after building ends?
Better to wait at least a week until neighbouring building fully stops and dust settles. Disinfecting too soon may fail if dust is still entering from outside.
Do new sofas and mattresses need washing before disinfection?
New furniture may carry factory dust, storage dust and transport dust. A light wash before disinfection may be good, but disinfection alone may suffice if the furniture is well packed.
How often does a new home need disinfection in the first year?
Once in the first year is usually enough, but if construction continues nearby you might want twice. After a year when construction around the district stops, regular disinfection is like any other district.
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 Tabah 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 Tabah.
