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 Hijaz, Jeddah
Al Hijaz is a mixed commercial and residential district in east Jeddah, with shops at street level and apartments above, where the air is drier than on the coast so road dust penetrates every open door and settles on every surface overnight. Majlis preparation here means removing that fine dust from corners and upholstery before it embeds itself in the fabrics.
- A team, so it is ready in one visit
- Price agreed before any work begins
- Fabric cleaning matched to each piece
- Anything you point out is redone the same visit
What changes about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Hijaz
Sofas, mattresses and curtains are the heaviest part of the cleaning routine here because the fine dust of the roads penetrates the fibres deeply and surface vacuuming alone cannot reach it. For the method itself, see our guide to majlis and diwaniya cleaning.
-
The first reason
Road dust embeds deeply into upholstery fibres
The dry air of east Jeddah carries fine road dust that settles into carpet and sofa fibres far more deeply than the heavier, damper dust of the coast. Surface cleaning alone does not remove this dust, so we clean by a method that reaches into the inner fibres and lifts the particles out.
-
The second reason
Dust settles on every surface when the majlis is closed
A closed majlis here accumulates dust quickly on flat surfaces, glass and curtains, and when dry dust mixes with the small amount of moisture from breathing it becomes a sticky film that resists ordinary wiping. Cleaning requires removing the dust before water is introduced, then water afterwards, not both at once.
-
The third reason
Al Hijaz is commercial, dust comes from shops and workshops below
Shops and repair workshops at street level release dust that rises with warm air to the apartments above. Majlis preparation in this district means removing both road dust and workshop dust from upholstery and corners, and that requires different methods than in purely residential areas.
What majlis and diwaniya cleaning covers in Al Hijaz
A comparatively modern residential district in the Taibah sub-municipality, close to University of Jeddah Road where heavy traffic carries dry dust and workshop particles, with air that is significantly drier than the coastal areas.
-
Ceilings and high corners
Ceilings and high corners in Al Hijaz collect fine road dust that clings to any moisture; we clean them with a soft brush and dry wipe first before introducing water, because wet dust becomes gluey.
-
Surfaces and furniture dusted
Every surface and piece of furniture here needs dry dust removal first, then a light damp wipe, then dry again, because introducing water to fine dust turns it into a sticky residue that ordinary cleaning leaves behind.
-
Glass and mirrors
Glass and mirrors develop fine dust deposits that need a dry solvent pass first, then a light damp wipe, to avoid leaving water marks where the dust particles have settled.
-
The floor, by its type
Ceramic and marble floors here need deep sweeping first before mopping, because grit and dust particles will scratch the surface if we mop without removing them thoroughly.
-
The guest bathroom
The guest bathroom accumulates road dust from clothes and footwear; we clean it thoroughly and remove dust from every surface and corner because bathrooms here feel dusty faster than other rooms.
-
Airing the room out
We leave the majlis windows open after cleaning for strong ventilation, and the dry air of east Jeddah speeds drying, but open windows allow new dust to enter so we recommend closing them an hour before guests arrive.

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.
Landmarks of Al Hijaz
Al Hijaz sits between University of Jeddah Road and lies within reach of Wadi Al Ghawla, and this location means dust comes from both the main road and the shops at street level. We approach from the University Road side where the heaviest traffic runs, so we know which surfaces need the deepest attention.

- Wadi Al Ghawla
- Asfan Road
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 East Jeddah
East Jeddah lies furthest from the sea and closest to the open ground and hills beyond the ring roads, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine. Floors are mostly ceramic tile in the apartment districts and marble in the villa areas, both scratched by grit that is mopped rather than swept. Roof tank water leaves a grey film of sediment in baths and basins.
Questions about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Hijaz
Dust comes in under the doors very quickly here. Should we clean before every event?
Yes. The dry air of east Jeddah carries road dust that enters a majlis rapidly. If there is time between our cleaning and your event, you may need a light vacuum before guests arrive, especially if you have opened windows for air.
Do you clean curtains and sofas from workshop dust as well as road dust?
Yes. Curtains and sofas in Al Hijaz collect workshop dust and road dust at speed. We deep vacuum first to lift the dust from inside the fibres, then wash if needed, to ensure the dust comes out completely.
The majlis smells of road dust. Does that disappear or just get masked with scent?
The smell of dust does not go away with air freshener. We clean surfaces and upholstery thoroughly first, then ventilate the majlis hard to drive the dust smell out of the fibres. You can add scent afterwards if you choose.
The loose carpet picks up road dust. Is cleaning it enough or do we need to replace it?
The carpet traps dust from underneath it as well as from above. We lift the carpet and clean the floor beneath, then clean the carpet itself by deep vacuum and wash it if the dust has settled too deep in the pile.
Do you take the curtains down to wash them or clean them while they hang?
We check each curtain first to know whether it can withstand washing or needs dry cleaning only. If it can be washed we remove it and wash it separately, then rehang it dry and smooth. If it cannot we clean it safely whilst hanging.
How many times a year should a majlis need serious cleaning in this area?
The dry air carries dust fast, so we recommend a serious clean every month or two if you use the majlis regularly, and always just before an event because fresh dust enters rapidly.
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 Hijaz 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 Hijaz.
