What the room holds, piece by piece
Floor seating, carpet, curtains and cushions are counted as pieces, not by the room. A rate by the room wrongs the modest majlis and flatters the full one.
Majlis and Diwaniya Cleaning Company that has the room ready before your guests are
The majlis is the room judged by people who do not live in it, and it takes the heaviest use: gatherings, coffee and cardamom, food on the floor seating, and bakhoor smoke that settles into every fabric and onto the walls. It looks fine between visits, and then, the evening guests are due, you notice the seating has dulled and the room smells of last month's incense rather than this week's.
- A team, so it is ready in one visit
- Price agreed before any work begins
- Steam and wet extraction for the fabrics
- Anything you point out is redone the same visit
When does a majlis need a real clean?
The room that guests see is the last one you should leave to chance. If one of these is true, it is time.
-
Old incense lingers under fresh bakhoor
You light oud and beneath it sits a stale, older smoke. Bakhoor residue builds up in the seating, curtains and carpet, so new incense sits on top of it rather than replacing it.
-
The floor seating has gone flat and dull
The jalsa cushions people lean on all evening lose their nap and colour where the weight sits. It is the earliest sign, and it shows before any stain does.
-
A sheen on the armrests and leaning spots
A faint shine where hands and arms rest through long sittings. That is skin oils worked into the fabric, not a trick of the light.
-
Coffee, cardamom and food marks on the floor
Gahwa rings, dropped dates and food on the majlis carpet and cushions. They soak in and set, and the longer they wait the harder they are to lift.
-
Sneezing or a stuffy feel during gatherings
Dense carpets and heavy curtains trap dust. Guests and family who react to it notice in the majlis before anywhere else in the house.
-
Guests are due and you cannot recall the last clean
A majlis used for weekly gatherings earns a deep clean far sooner than a room that sits idle. If you cannot recall the last one, it is overdue for the people about to sit in it.
What the service includes, and what it does not
The second list is the one that prevents disputes, it is usually in small print, or not written at all.
-
Ceilings and high corners
Cobwebs and settled dust come off the ceiling and the corners above the windows first.
-
Surfaces and furniture dusted
Tables, shelves and furniture frames are dusted from the top down, so nothing drops onto what is already done.
-
Glass and mirrors
Mirrors, glass and cabinet fronts are cleaned, since fingerprints are the first thing that shows under majlis lighting.
-
The floor, by its type
Marble, ceramic or parquet, each cleaned with what suits it, once all the dust from above has come down.
-
The guest bathroom
Tiles, mirror and basin in the guests' bathroom, because it forms part of the same impression as the room.
-
Airing the room out
Windows are opened so the closed-up smell clears and the room is fresh before guests arrive.
Not included
- Reupholstering seating or restuffing flattened cushions
- Repairing torn fabric or replacing majlis covers
- Removing permanent dyes such as dried ink or hair colour
- Genuine leather seating, it has a separate service and entirely different products
- Structural smoke damage where paint or fabric is scorched
If your case is one of these, we say so at the walkthrough, not after you pay. In most of them we point you to the right trade even when the work is not ours.
How a majlis is actually cleaned
The order is not a detail. Steaming fabric before the dust is out, or running a general clean over untreated coffee, sets the problem in, and fixing that after someone else is most of why we are called.
-
1
We look the room over with you first
Seating, carpet, curtains and surfaces, before anything starts, so we agree the scope and what the price covers. Surprises belong at the walkthrough, not the invoice.
-
2
We check the fabrics before we touch them
Majlis seating and curtains vary from cotton to velvet and heavy weaves, and they do not take the same heat or product. We test on a hidden spot and see the result before we begin.
-
3
Deep dry-vacuum first
Before any water, on the seating and the carpet both. Steam onto a dusty weave turns dust into a paste that works deeper instead of lifting out.
-
4
Stains treated each by its method
Gahwa, cardamom and food are not one problem. Each is treated on its own before the general clean, because a general clean sets whatever was left untreated.
-
5
Steam and wet extraction together
Steam loosens what has bound into the seating and carpet, and wet extraction pulls it straight back out with the water, in one pass, so nothing is left soaking in the foam.
-
6
A walkthrough with you before we leave
We go back through the room with you. Anything you point to is redone in the same visit.
What decides the price
We do not publish a fixed figure, because cases genuinely differ. These are the factors we ask about, so you know where your job sits before you call.
The fabrics involved
Velvet and heavy woven cushions take more time and costlier products than cotton or synthetic. The difference is real time on the job, not just the price.
How heavily the majlis is used
A guest room used weekly is not one that sits idle for months. The heavily used one may need a second pass, and we say so before we begin.
Set-in coffee, food and incense
Old gahwa, cardamom and built-up bakhoor residue need individual treatment before the general clean. They are priced with the rest, not sprung on you after.
Services done in the same visit
Cleaning the majlis carpet, curtains and seating together in one visit costs less than separate visits, because the trip and setup are counted once.
Send photos of the majlis with the number of seating pieces and curtains on WhatsApp, and you get a price and an estimated time before you commit to anything.
Do it yourself, or a team with equipment?
A fair question, and home steamers are on the shelves now. Here is the real difference, not the sales pitch.
Reaching the incense smell
Air freshener over the surface
Residue cleaned from fabric and walls
Coffee and cardamom stains
Scrubbed, often spread wider
Treated each by its own method
Inside dense seating and carpet
The surface only
Steam and extraction into the pile
Delicate weaves and velvet
Wrong heat marks the fabric
Tested on a hidden spot first
Getting it guest-ready in time
A full day off, room out of use
A team working pieces in parallel
If the result falls short
The piece carries it
Redone in the same visit
Why us for this service in particular
We treat the incense, not mask it
Bakhoor residue is cleaned out of the seating and curtains and off the walls, so fresh oud is not sitting on months of old smoke. Covering the smell is not the same as removing it.
Steam and extraction, tested first
We test the fabric on a hidden spot before we steam. A majlis piece that is ruined is not made right by a discount, so the test is not optional.
A team, so it is ready when guests are
The company runs several teams, and we send a team rather than one person. The whole majlis is done in one visit rather than split across days you may not have.
We say no when it is no
If the seating needs reupholstering rather than cleaning, we say so. The visit we talk you out of costs us less than the trust we would lose.
Our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job does not close until you approve it
The commitment is small enough to actually keep: we do not leave until you have seen the result and told us what you think of it.
- A walkthrough with you, piece by piece, before the team leaves
- Anything you point out is redone the same visit, with no new invoice
- The agreed price is what you pay, any addition is priced before it is done, not after
- If the team is running late, you hear about it before the appointment, not after
Three written commitments
You know the price before we start
We look at the job and agree the figure before any work begins, and nothing is added to it afterwards. If the scope changes during the visit we stop and ask you before carrying on.
A handover walk before we leave
At the end of the visit we walk the place with you. Anything you point at is redone in the same visit, not booked for another one, and at no extra cost.
We keep the time, and tell you if we cannot
We arrive when we said we would. If that becomes impossible you hear it before the appointment rather than after, because waiting without knowing how long is worse than a delay you were told about.
Questions before you book
Can you get the old incense smell out of the majlis?
In most cases, yes. Bakhoor residue builds up in the seating, curtains and on the walls, and we clean it out of the fabric and wipe it off the surfaces rather than covering it with scent. Where smoke has scorched paint or fabric that is damage, not residue, and we tell you the difference at the walkthrough.
Will every coffee and food stain come out?
Not all, and we will not claim otherwise. Most fresh gahwa and food marks lift, older oily ones may fade without fully clearing, and permanent dyes do not come out at all. We tell you which stain falls in which category at the walkthrough, before you pay.
Do you take the curtains and cushions away to clean them?
No. The work is done in the room. Taking pieces away risks them in transit and leaves your majlis incomplete for days. Steam and wet extraction let us clean the fabrics in place and control how damp they are left.
How long until the majlis is usable again?
The fabrics come out damp, not soaked, because wet extraction pulls most of the water in the same pass. With the room aired it is usually ready the same day. If you have guests coming, tell us when, and we plan the work so it is dry in time.
Is the floor seating cleaned the same as sofas?
Yes, and often faster, because the jalsa cushions and backrests are separate pieces that are easier to reach from every side. They are dry-vacuumed, stain-treated, then steamed and extracted like any upholstery.
How often should a majlis be cleaned?
By how much it is used, not by the calendar, a weekly guest majlis earns it far sooner than an idle one.
