Testing the solution on a hidden spot is a step we treat as necessary, not optional.
Kitchen Cleaning in Al Faisaliyah, Jeddah
Al Faisaliyah is an old dense neighbourhood in central Jeddah between King Fahd Road and Prince Majid Road. Homes here are older apartment blocks and tightly packed flats, and kitchens just below street level collect black road dust and grease together. The team breaks down thick layers of old grease stuck fast to smooth surfaces worn by decades of use.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
Grease on surfaces here is very black and stuck hard because homes are old and surfaces are smooth from so many years of use. Daily wiping with water runs over the top without touching it. For the method itself, see our guide to kitchen cleaning.
-
The first reason
Smooth aged surfaces hold grease very firmly
Cabinet doors and surfaces in old homes here are very smooth from tens of years of daily use. Grease does not sink into pores because there are almost no pores left. It sticks hard to the polished smooth surface instead. This strong grip means grease builds day after day until it becomes a thick black layer.
-
The second reason
Black road dust mixes with cooking grease
King Fahd Road is busy and cars send out fine black dust. This dust blows into kitchens and mixes with cooking oil to form a stuck-fast black blend. Water wiping cannot break this mixture apart.
-
The third reason
Old terrazzo floors are smooth and grease sticks fast
Most old flats have very old terrazzo flooring that is very smooth. The joints between terrazzo pieces are tight. Grease sticks hard to the smooth surface and enters the fine joints. Cleaning needs a strong product that breaks both the grease and dust layer without harming the old terrazzo.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Faisaliyah
The neighbourhood is old with dense apartment buildings and scattered villas, King Fahd Road cuts through it with heavy traffic and commercial activity. The main road sends fine black dust that gets into everything.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Old smooth cabinet doors trap the black dust and grease mixture hard, and the degreaser needs time to work through.
-
Extractor hood and filter
The hood and filter are old and carry layers of heavy grease mixed with black dust.
-
Oven and hob
The stovetop and wall behind it have a thick black layer of grease stuck hard from years of use.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Old tiles behind the stove have very tight grout lines, and the black mixture seeps deep into the joints.
-
Sink and mixer tap
The old sink and tap show rust stains, and cleaning must be gentle.
-
Floor and corners last
The old smooth terrazzo floor has black grease stuck to it and in the fine joints.

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.

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 kitchen cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
Very black grease and scrubbing does not touch it. Is it grease or mould or burn damage?
The black colour comes from grease mixed with road dust. This is a very stuck hard blend, and water wiping will never shift it. Deep cleaning breaks this mixture apart with a strong safe product.
The old sink and tap show rust. Do cleaning products damage them?
Old sink and tap need a gentle product. We test a small area first. Old rust may not vanish completely but cleaning reduces how much it shows.
The flat is old and surfaces collect black dust from the street every day. How often should the kitchen be cleaned?
In an old neighbourhood on a busy road, grease and dust build fast. Deep cleaning every three months is better because the blend builds faster than in quiet areas.
The terrazzo floor is very old and very smooth. Can it withstand hard scrubbing?
Old smooth terrazzo can take medium scrubbing, not hard. We use soft brushes and the degreaser softens the grease, so less scrubbing is needed.
Does deep kitchen cleaning also remove the black dust from walls and ceiling?
Kitchen cleaning focuses mainly on cabinets, stovetop and sink. We wipe walls and ceilings gently if time allows, but without hard scrubbing.
How often should an Al Faisaliyah kitchen be deep cleaned given the age, traffic and black dust?
Old homes on a busy road mean fast buildup. Deep cleaning every three months is better, and a light clean every month or two helps a lot.
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 Faisaliyah 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 Faisaliyah.
