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.
Majlis and Diwaniya Cleaning in Al Ammariyah, Jeddah
Al Ammariyah is an old district with the Eve Cemetery, Maqbarat Ummina Hawwa, on one side, pressed tight with narrow streets and buildings crowded close together. Majlis rooms here are smaller than in newer areas and hold dampness and stale smell longer than they should. Floors are old and fragile, and furnishings soak up fine dust from the nearby street and hold it in carpet fibres.

What changes about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Ammariyah
Majlis rooms in older apartment blocks here are smaller than in modern districts and streets are very narrow, so air circulation is poor and furnishings hold musty and damp smells for longer than they do elsewhere in the city. For the method itself, see our guide to majlis and diwaniya cleaning.
-
The first reason
Old smooth terrazzo and ceramic floors that scratch easily
Terrazzo and old ceramic floors in these buildings have been walked on for decades and are now extremely smooth and sensitive to scratching from any tool. Heavy scrubbing pads and scrapers are forbidden, and wiping demands care and slowness or the marks left behind will show every imperfection that follows.
-
The second reason
Accumulated grease and limescale in aged kitchens and bathrooms
Old pipework and taps in these apartment blocks carry thick lime deposits from years of hard water, and cooking oils and grease build up on the floor and around sinks. Ordinary cleaning will not remove these deposits, and they need careful chemical treatment that dissolves the scale without scratching old metal or tile.
-
The third reason
Dampness and musty smell trapped in fabrics and carpets
Narrow streets reduce natural ventilation, and majlis rooms here hold morning dampness all day long. Carpets and curtains absorb moisture and retain a faint smell of mould and staleness, and the majlis needs deep ventilation and fabric washing before guests arrive.
What majlis and diwaniya cleaning covers in Al Ammariyah
A central Jeddah district arranged around the Eve Cemetery, the city's oldest burial ground, lying between Bab Makkah and Al Kandarah on a very tight street grid close to Al Matar Street and the old Makkah Road.
-
Ceilings and high corners
Ceilings and corners in crowded old apartment blocks carry dust and damp from the narrow street and neighbouring buildings, so we clean them carefully from stable access equipment.
-
Surfaces and furniture dusted
Furniture, shelves and cupboards carry a greasy layer of cooking oils and fine dust, and dry wiping comes first before any water or wet cleaning.
-
Glass and mirrors
Windows and mirrors near the narrow street show dust and stains clearly, and need repeated gentle wiping with no scrapers or abrasive pads.
-
The floor, by its type
The smooth terrazzo floor here is extremely sensitive, so we use water at a specific temperature, soft tools only, and immediate drying to prevent spots or scratches.
-
The guest bathroom
The small bathroom in an old apartment block carries heavy dampness and lime deposits, and we clean it carefully, dry it completely and ventilate it before final scenting.
-
Airing the room out
Opening the majlis window to the narrow street may bring in new dust if traffic is close, so we choose the quietest hour and use the furniture itself as a barrier to stop dust drifting back in.

How a majlis is actually cleaned
-
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.
-
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.
-
3
Deep dry-vacuum first
Before any water, on the seating and the carpet both.
-
4
Stains treated each by its method
Gahwa, cardamom and food are not one problem.
-
5
Washed by the method each fabric takes
We choose the method after seeing each piece, loosen what has bound into the seating and carpet, and extraction pulls it straight back out with the water, in one pass, so nothing is left soaking in the foam.

We go back through the room with you.

Why us for this service in particular
Every fabric tested first
We test the fabric on a hidden spot before we clean it.
A team, so it is ready when guests are
The company runs several teams, and we send a team rather than one person.
We say no when it is no
If the seating needs reupholstering rather than cleaning, we say so.
From 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.
What is different about Central Jeddah
Central Jeddah is the old heart of the city: Al Balad with its coral stone houses, and the dense apartment quarters around it with shops beneath the flats. Floors here are often terrazzo or older ceramic tile, worn smooth and easily stained by cooking grease that drifts up from the street. Older kitchens and bathrooms carry heavy scale on taps and around drains, and pipework in the older blocks leaves rust marks in basins. Rugs and curtains take on the fine black dust of the main roads, so they need washing more often than elsewhere.
Questions about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Ammariyah
The terrazzo floor has old scratch marks and is very smooth, how do you clean without making new scratches?
We use only soft tools such as soft sponges and cotton pads, and water at a specific temperature to clean old floors without adding new damage. Heavy tools are forbidden entirely, and we dry immediately to protect the surface from water spots.
The taps have a thick white layer of limescale, will it come off completely?
Thick lime deposits need a specialist soak in a descaling liquid, not ordinary washing. We remove them carefully from the old metal because scraping leaves marks on aged taps and fittings.
The carpet has a faint smell of damp and mould, will cleaning remove it completely?
Damp smells in carpet come from poor ventilation on narrow streets. We wash and dry the carpet fully, then ventilate the majlis hard for days before the gathering to pull remaining moisture from the fabrics and air.
There are old orange rust marks around the basin and drains, can you remove them without stripping the paint?
Old rust marks around drains come off with a specialist treatment and gentle wiping, not scraping. We use a dissolving liquid and soft contact. The old paint on pipes we keep intact and focus on removing only the surface rust itself.
Our sheer curtains have thick black lines from fine street dust, is cleaning them enough or do they need washing?
Black lines on sheer curtains are a mix of street dust and moisture stuck together. We wash them in cool water carefully and hang them without wringing hard, then ventilate thoroughly before rehang.
Our majlis is in an old narrow street district, how many days before the gathering should we book?
Narrow streets mean stagnant air, so we suggest cleaning two days before the gathering to give ventilation time to finish clearing the dampness from washing. If weather is unsettled we choose one day before only.
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.
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.
How much does majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Ammariyah 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 Ammariyah.
