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 Sham, Jeddah
Al Sham is one of the historic quarters inside the old walled city of Jeddah, a district of close-set buildings and narrow lanes, and the majlis here needs different cleaning than modern areas because the floors are old and smooth, and curtains trap main road dust quickly and hold heavy smells from shops below.

What changes about majlis and diwaniya cleaning in Al Sham
Lanes are narrow and houses are very close together, so noise and smells from shops and cafes below the flats enter the majlis through windows and doors, and old surfaces trap odours easily and hold them for days. For the method itself, see what majlis and diwaniya cleaning involves.
-
The first reason
Old worn terrazzo floors and grease build-up from cooking below
Floors here are old terrazzo or aged ceramic tile, smoothed by long use. Cooking grease that drifts up from shops beneath deposits on the smooth floor and is hard to remove without scratching the worn surface.
-
The second reason
Curtains and carpets trap fine black dust from main roads
Narrow main roads leave fine black dust that clings to curtains and rugs. Beating may not suffice if dust has settled deep, and washing may be required to clear it fully.
-
The third reason
Heavy lime scale and rust marks from old pipework
Old pipes carry heavy scale deposits on taps and around drains. Orange rust marks from aged iron are hard to remove from sinks and bathroom surfaces without using harsh chemicals that might damage the old finishes.
What majlis and diwaniya cleaning covers in Al Sham
A historic quarter in the northern part of the old walled city, home to heritage stone and timber buildings, close to Hassan Annani Mosque, Souk Al Alawi and Umm Hina Cemetery, where housing mixes with trade.
-
Ceilings and high corners
Ceilings and high corners in old homes trap road dust and old smells. Beating must be careful to avoid dropping dust onto furniture, and ceilings may need light wiping.
-
Surfaces and furniture dusted
Beating furniture in old homes needs strength and depth to remove settled road dust. Old furniture may be fragile, so we need beating that is both careful and vigorous.
-
Glass and mirrors
Glass and mirrors are cloudy from road dust and grease. We clean them close to guest time to ensure new dust does not settle quickly on them.
-
The floor, by its type
Old terrazzo floors need light scrubbing to remove settled cooking grease, and quick dry mopping to prevent water absorption in the aged floor.
-
The guest bathroom
The guest bathroom may hold dampness and mould from old pipes. We clean it and dry it fully and leave it aired before guests use it.
-
Airing the room out
Airing the majlis in the old quarter needs time to clear cooking smell and dampness. We open a window or door away from the main road if possible.

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.
The character of Al Sham
Historic district: close-set buildings, narrow lanes and ageing services
Historic means old pipes, smooth worn floors and deep smells in the fabrics. Cleaning here focuses on depth over speed, old furniture may need careful handling, and smooth floors need specialised cleaning, never harsh scrubbing that damages the worn finish.
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 Sham
The old terrazzo floor is black from cooking grease. Can you clean it without damaging the surface?
Grease deposits on smooth terrazzo need careful cleaning. We use appropriate cleaner and light scrubbing with dry mopping to avoid scratching the worn smooth surface.
The curtains have thick black lines from road dust. Do you clean them?
Black fine dust from the main roads settles quickly on curtains. We beat them vigorously, and if dust is settled deep we wash them in cool water and dry them fully.
Old pipework has left orange rust marks around the taps. Do they come out?
Rust marks from old pipes come out with appropriate cleaner and light scrubbing. We do not use abrasive materials that might damage the surrounding floor or mirrors.
Cooking smell in the majlis does not leave with ordinary airing. Why?
Shops below the flats and homes very close to main roads leave heavy cooking smell. Ordinary airing may not suffice, so we need strong repeated airing and deep cleaning of all the fabrics.
The bathroom has damp and black mould on walls and ceiling from age. How do you treat it?
Dampness from old pipes and old buildings leaves mould. We clean the bathroom with appropriate cleaner, dry it fully, and recommend regular window opening afterward.
How often should the majlis be cleaned in an old quarter like Al Sham?
The old quarter with shops and narrow roads means constant dust and smells. Cleaning every month to two months is necessary, and always at least two days before gatherings.
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 Sham 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 Sham.
