We test before we degrease
Testing the solution on a hidden spot is a step we treat as necessary, not optional.
Kitchen Cleaning in Al Asaliyah, Jeddah
Al Asaliyah is a small locality in the outer south east corner of Jeddah, a lightly industrialised area with mixed commercial and residential use. It sits close to heavy goods routes from the port and industrial city, so the air carries diesel soot, iron particles and workshop grease from trucks and repair shops. Kitchen grease here is black and much stickier than clean cooking oil, and old floors darken from soot that is walked in daily.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Asaliyah
Grease in Al Asaliyah turns black because it mixes with diesel soot from heavy transport routes. Floors blacken quickly, windows and curtains hold dark residue, and daily wiping does not remove the soot layer underneath. For the method itself, see the full kitchen cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Heavy goods routes send diesel soot and metal particles into kitchens
Al Asaliyah sits on heavy transport routes from the port and industrial city, and trucks emit black soot and iron dust and workshop grease that enters the kitchen on the air. This soot mixes with grease to form a black, hard deposit that sticks much stronger than pure cooking oil. Daily wiping cannot remove it, and deep cleaning needs a special first step to clear soot before it can dissolve.
-
The second reason
Old floors blacken where soot particles are stepped in and ground
Floors in older homes are plain cement or aged ceramic tile, and soot accumulating from the street blackens the surface where it is walked on. This staining may be mixed with oil and grease from the road, and standard scrubbing cannot remove it. It may need chemical treatment or gentle grinding with fine sanding stone.
-
The third reason
Windows and curtains hold black deposits from polluted air
Air thick with diesel soot leaves black marks on windows, net curtains, light walls and soft furnishings. This residue is difficult to remove and may need cleaning separate from the kitchen itself. Curtains may need replacement if soot has penetrated deep into the fibres.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Asaliyah
A small locality in the outer south eastern zone of Jeddah near heavy goods roads and light industrial activity, with commercial premises at street level and homes above.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinets carry a black soot layer under the grease, so we clean soot first before removing the oily deposit. White cabinets may need polishing after we finish to restore the shine.
-
Extractor hood and filter
Extractor hood is usually clogged with heavy diesel soot and needs intensive cleaning or filter replacement. Ducting may carry soot buildup that needs chemical treatment to dissolve.
-
Oven and hob
Stovetop and splashback are black from years of soot accumulation, and grout joints are completely darkened. We use strong scrubbing and may use fine sanding stone for hardened soot.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Tiles behind the hob may hold soot baked into the grout joints, requiring strong chemical treatment and small-brush work to break it up.
-
Sink and mixer tap
Sink and tap fixtures may have black oil and soot residue. We clean with strong product and recommend polishing stainless steel after finishing.
-
Floor and corners last
Floor is old tile or cement blackened by soot walked in over years. We use hard scrubbing and may use fine sanding stone carefully, and verify all soot marks are gone.
Not included

How a kitchen is actually deep cleaned
-
1
We check the surfaces before we touch them
Painted cabinets, laminate, natural stone and stainless steel do not take the same degreaser.
-
2
Top down, always
We start high, the tops of cabinets and the hood, and work down to the floor.
-
3
Degrease and let it work
The degreaser is put on the heavy areas and given time to break the oil down before it is wiped.
-
4
The hood and filter separately
The metal filter carries the worst of the grease and is soaked and worked on its own, not just wiped in place, because a clogged filter puts the oil straight back into the air.
-
5
Stovetop, splash and counters down to the grout
The burners, the tiled splash and the grout lines take focused work, since the grout darkens first and a flat wipe passes over it.

Landmarks of Al Asaliyah
The area lies close to the Jeddah Makkah Expressway and Al Jumum Road, and our work plan begins by understanding how close your home is to the main heavy transport routes, so we focus on windows, curtains and ventilation based on wind direction from the road.

What is different about South Jeddah
South Jeddah runs from the port and the industrial city down towards Al Khumrah, and homes here sit between the sea and the heavy goods roads. The dust is darker and oilier than in the north, a mix of diesel soot and workshop grit, and it clings to net curtains, window sills and the tops of kitchen cupboards. Floors in the older low rise housing are often plain cement or ceramic tile that darkens where soot is walked in. Humidity from the coast adds mildew in bathrooms and a musty smell in stored fabrics.
Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Asaliyah
Does diesel soot turn kitchen grease black and harder to remove?
Yes. Soot mixes with grease to form a black, harder deposit. Standard products cannot break it down, so we need stronger treatment or additional steps. Testing the product on a small corner first is essential in this area.
Can old ceramic floors survive strong cleaning to remove soot stains?
They may not. Aged tile can crack or lose its shine if scrubbed hard. We test the product on a small corner first, and if the staining is very deep, we may use fine sanding stone very gently.
Does coastal humidity plus diesel soot create extra mould?
Yes. Coastal moisture slows drying of soot and grease, and mould may develop behind cabinets. We clean thoroughly and ensure complete drying before finishing.
Do truck and workshop smells cling to fabrics in the kitchen?
Yes. Diesel and oil smells cling to curtains, fabrics and furnishings. Deep cleaning removes the grease but odours may linger in textile fibres. We recommend washing or replacing curtains after cleaning.
Do windows and curtains need separate cleaning from the kitchen?
Often yes. Soot deposits on windows and curtains may need separate cleaning before the main kitchen deep clean. Net curtains may need washing in cold water with special product.
How often should a kitchen in Al Asaliyah be deep cleaned?
Every two to three months instead of six. Constant soot from the road means deep cleaning needs to happen more frequently. Daily wiping with scented product may reduce odours, but deep cleaning needs to happen often because the source is continuous.
Do I need to empty the kitchen before you come?
Clearing the countertops and moving loose items and food away helps us reach more surface and get through it faster. We do not wash the daily dishes or clear food as part of the service, so anything left out is worked around.
How often should a kitchen be deep cleaned?
It depends on how much you cook, not the calendar. A kitchen used for heavy daily cooking needs it sooner than one lightly used.
How much does kitchen cleaning in Al Asaliyah 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 Asaliyah.
