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 Bawadi, Jeddah
Al Bawadi is an established district in central Jeddah between King Fahd Road and Madinah Road, with buildings mixing shops with homes above, a busy traditional market, and Quraish Street lined with furnished apartments and hotels. Majlises in upper floors carry trapped smell from the narrow street and road dust, and high surfaces hold the stale air that settles between tightly packed buildings.

What changes about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Bawadi
Majlises in Al Bawadi carry a mixed smell from the buildings and the street at once because air does not circulate freely, and curtains hold a complex smell layered from the market, the road and neighbouring buildings. For the method itself, see what majlis and diwaniya cleaning involves.
-
The first reason
Stale air trapped between closely packed buildings and narrow lanes
Al Bawadi is an old district where buildings are pressed together and the lanes are very narrow. Air does not move freely, so smells become trapped between the walls. Upper floor majlises draw the stagnant air from the narrow street, and lower floors and basements collect more moisture.
-
The second reason
The busy market and shops beneath the flats raise powerful cooking smell
Quraish Street and Al Bawadi hold an active traditional market and hotels with furnished apartments. Shops beneath the flats release cooking and street smells upward. Majlises on lower floors carry these smells directly, and upper floors collect them with a delay.
-
The third reason
Old terrazzo and aged ceramic tile floors, smooth and stained
Floors in Al Bawadi are often old terrazzo or weathered ceramic from years of use, worn very smooth. Footsteps leave brown marks on the terrazzo from cooking oils and dirt, and the ceramic becomes wet and slippery easily.
What majlis and diwaniya cleaning covers in Al Bawadi
Al Bawadi sits between King Fahd Road and Madinah Road in central Jeddah, with buildings pressed close together, very narrow lanes and little free air movement, and the surfaces of the old city reflect and hold heat.
-
Ceilings and high corners
Ceilings and high corners in Al Bawadi hold a thin layer of smoke from the market and road, and humidity welds it to the surface.
-
Surfaces and furniture dusted
Surfaces, tables and shelves carry fine damp dust from the stagnant air, and need wiping with damp cloth, not dry.
-
Glass and mirrors
Glass and mirrors are coated with a thin film of moisture and smoke, and need warm water cleaning and rapid drying.
-
The floor, by its type
Old terrazzo and ceramic tile floors are very smooth and trap oily stains in the pores, and become slippery after wet cleaning.
-
The guest bathroom
The guest bathroom surrounded by buildings and the street is very damp and the moisture smell is strong; it needs complete ventilation and fast drying.
-
Airing the room out
A majlis trapped between buildings holds stale air, so we open every window and door for a full hour before any cleaning begins.
Not included

- Repairing torn fabric or replacing majlis covers

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.
-
6
A walkthrough with you before we leave
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 Bawadi
Is the market smell permanently trapped in the majlis?
Market and shop smell from below is strong but not permanent. Open the majlis and pull out the stale air first, then clean the fabrics and walls removes most of it. But after a few hours of closing a faint smell may return from below.
Does King Fahd Road nearby raise dust up to the higher floors?
King Fahd Road is major and carries heavy traffic. Upper floors catch more oil smell and exhaust than visible dust. Dust rises with warm air from the road. Open windows let the smell rise up.
The old terrazzo floor has oily stains that will not come clean?
Old terrazzo traps oils in its pores. Old stains need specialised treatment that varies by oil type and the terrazzo condition. Not all stains come clean in one pass; we may need several treatments.
Are majlises on lower floors much dirtier than those on higher floors?
Lower floors collect more moisture from the street and internal shops. Higher floors catch more exhaust and stale air smell. Both present equal difficulty; each has its own problem.
When should I book cleaning if I am entertaining in a district like Al Bawadi?
Al Bawadi is hot and humid and smells return quickly. Book early morning and one day before the event at most. Late afternoon and evening smells are strongest; avoid cleaning after three o'clock.
Do Al Hijaz Mall and the surrounding shops affect the majlis smell?
Al Hijaz Mall and nearby shops raise activity, noise and smell. Close to Al Bawadi the smell enters through open windows. Areas a little further from the mall are less affected but smells travel easily in stagnant air.
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 Bawadi 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 Bawadi.
