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 Baghdadiyah East, Jeddah
Al Baghdadiyah East is an old quarter north of Al Balad on Madinah Road, built in the 1960s and 1970s with shops on ground floors and flats above. The floors are worn smooth terrazzo that has polished over decades, so grease sticks hard to the gloss and does not mix with the surface the way it does on rough floors. The main road stays busy all day, so black dust drifts into kitchens with the air.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Baghdadiyah East
Terrazzo floors worn smooth over long use trap grease harder than rough surfaces do, and the daily work needs longer because the grease sticks tight to the polished finish. For the method itself, see how we approach kitchen cleaning.
-
The first reason
Smooth worn floors trap grease harder than rough ones
Terrazzo from the 1960s and 1970s is very smooth from decades of use, so grease slides on the surface and does not mix in but grips hard against the polish. Daily wiping leaves dry streaks that water cannot dissolve, and the sticky feel returns quickly.
-
The second reason
Shops below send cooking smoke and food odours upward
Ground floor shops and restaurants cook every day, their smoke and airborne oil drift up through openings into flats above. Your kitchen grease mixes with shop smells, making the odour harder to remove through cleaning alone and requiring strong ventilation.
-
The third reason
The busy road brings fine black dust daily into homes
Madinah Road and Al Matar Street carry heavy daily traffic, and fine black dust from truck exhaust and vehicle fumes drifts into kitchens. This soot mixes with grease to form a stubborn black film that is very hard to remove completely.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Baghdadiyah East
An old quarter north of Al Balad on Madinah Road and Al Matar Street, filled with apartment buildings from the 1960s and dense ground floor shops serving daily needs, built as one of the first areas outside the historic city wall and carrying heavy traffic every day.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Old cabinet fronts collect thick grease on the smooth surface, and seams between cabinet sections trap black dust mixed with grease. We focus on crevices with a small brush to clear trapped soot and oil.
-
Extractor hood and filter
The filter is black and stubborn from a mix of grease and fine black dust from the road traffic. We use a strong warm water soak with degreaser and let it sit for an hour to break down the trapped soot layer.
-
Oven and hob
The old hob and oven carry many years of black stubborn buildup from mixed grease and road soot. We leave the degreaser on much longer because old grease holds hard and needs time to dissolve completely.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Old tile behind the hob has deep grout lines. Black soot settles in the joints with grease, so we focus on the lines with a small brush to clear all trapped particles and oil.
-
Sink and mixer tap
The old sink and tap carry heavy limescale and red rust stains. We use a limescale remover after degreasing to brighten the metal and dry it completely.
-
Floor and corners last
We dry the terrazzo floor with a lint free cloth because moisture leaves white spots on the old smooth surface and the floor becomes slippery if left damp.

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.

We go over the kitchen with you before the team leaves.
The character of Al Baghdadiyah East
Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores
The commercial zone means your kitchen experiences cooking smoke and odours from shops below as well as black dust from the main roads, so cleaning needs a strong degreaser and more time on the old worn surfaces that grip grease harder.

Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Baghdadiyah East
The terrazzo floor is very old and very smooth. Can it withstand hard scrubbing?
Very old polished terrazzo can crack under hard scrubbing, so we do not scrub forcefully. Instead we leave the degreaser to work and dissolve the grease, then wipe very gently without harsh friction.
Very black grease and scrubbing does not touch it. Is it grease or mould or burn damage?
Black soot from the main road mixes with grease, not mould or fire damage. A degreaser dissolves both together. We test the product on a hidden corner first to be certain.
The old shop below smells strong. Does kitchen cleaning remove the odour?
Old shop odours drift up through gaps. Deep cleaning removes the grease that traps smell, but very strong ventilation and open windows for an hour helps far more than cleaning alone.
Are strong degreasers safe on very old worn terrazzo?
Old terrazzo is sensitive, so we use a gentle degreaser safe for aged stone. We test it on a hidden spot first to make sure it does not damage the surface.
The old sink and tap show rust. Do cleaning products damage them?
Old pipework carries heavy limescale and rust buildup. Our product breaks down the scale but does not damage the metal. We use a gentler mix on very old piping to be safe.
How often should an Al Baghdadiyah East kitchen be deep cleaned given the age, traffic and shops?
The busy road, shops below and old terrazzo speed grease buildup. Deep cleaning every three months works better than waiting six months. Regular light maintenance between deep cleans really helps.
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 Baghdadiyah East 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 Baghdadiyah East.
