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 Farouq, Jeddah
Al Farouq is a mixed district where shops occupy the ground floor and homes sit above them, so kitchens receive grease from the commercial activity underneath. Shared pipes between flats allow neighbours' grease to enter your drainage, and if the shop below is a restaurant or food vendor, grease rises through ventilation shafts and cracks in the floor. Deep cleaning here must account for these extra pathways and the cumulative load from multiple sources.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Farouq
Flats in Al Farouq are shaped by what sits below: above a restaurant kitchen the grease accumulation is heavy, above a clothes shop it is light. Bad smells from shared drains are common because neighbours' grease enters the pipework and pools where it should not. For the method itself, see how we approach kitchen cleaning.
-
The first reason
Grease from the shop below rises into the flat
A flat above a food vendor or restaurant receives grease from below through shared ventilation ducts and common pipework. Grease collects on the tops of cabinets, the hood and in corners much faster than in a flat above a clothes shop or simple retail space. Deep cleaning must target these pathways and pay special attention to vents and seals.
-
The second reason
Shared pipes carry grease from all neighbours
The sink, waste pipes and drainage from a flat connect to a common network linking multiple units across floors. Grease from any neighbour's kitchen can enter your system when they wash up or cook heavily. Deep cleaning can clear blockages and remove what has accumulated, but without co-ordinated cleaning or network treatment, the problem returns within weeks.
-
The third reason
Weak ventilation, filter clogs fast
Extraction hoods in these mixed flats are typically old and weak, and the added grease from below and neighbours clogs the filter rapidly. Even after cleaning, the filter fills again within weeks. A lasting solution requires inspection of ducts and openings, and may point to faults in the ventilation design itself.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Farouq
Al Farouq sits between Haramain Road and Old Makkah Road, with apartment buildings of four to six storeys housing medium-sized flats. Ground floor spaces are mostly food merchants or repair workshops, which raises the grease and smoke load significantly across all units above.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts in mixed flats are usually old, and grease from below and neighbours deposits on them fast, especially if the cabinets are wood or basic ceramic rather than modern materials.
-
Extractor hood and filter
The extractor hood in these flats is typically weak and old, and the filter clogs quickly due to the extra grease rising from below and from neighbouring kitchens sharing the duct.
-
Oven and hob
The hob and tiles behind it accumulate grease fast in mixed flats, and old tile does not shine easily and grease residue remains visible even after scrubbing.
-
Tiles behind the hob
The tiles behind the hob need hard scrubbing in these flats because the grease is thick and blackened, a mix of gas flame soot and the commercial grease rising from below.
-
Sink and mixer tap
The sink and drain in mixed flats smell because grease from neighbours has pooled in the shared pipes, and the blockages trap old deposits that rot and release odour.
-
Floor and corners last
Floors in older flats are usually simple ceramic tile stained with grease and soot, and need firm scrubbing but carefully because age may have made the tile brittle and prone to cracking.

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.

The character of Al Farouq
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Mixed means shops below and homes above, and grease rises from the commercial activity underneath. Shared pipes connect your drainage to neighbours' kitchens, extraction is weak and filters clog fast from the cumulative load.

Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Farouq
Does grease from the shop directly below my flat enter my kitchen?
Yes, especially if the shop is a restaurant or food business. Grease rises through ventilation openings, gaps in the floor slab and shared pipework. Deep cleaning removes what has entered, but the problem returns gradually as the business continues below, unless the shop itself is cleaned regularly.
Do shared pipes between flats collect grease from all the neighbours?
Yes, the sink waste and main drain connect to a network shared across the building. Grease from any flat can flow into your pipes. Deep cleaning can clear blockages and remove accumulated deposits, but a lasting fix may require the network to be cleaned from the main line, which needs coordination with management.
Is a flat above a clothes shop cleaner than one above a restaurant kitchen?
Very often yes. A clothes shop produces almost no grease, but a restaurant or food vendor releases significant grease. A flat above clothing retail might need deep cleaning every four months, while one above a restaurant needs it every two months to stay reasonable.
There is a bad smell from the drain and sink. Will deep cleaning fix it?
Deep cleaning the sink, drain and vents removes much of the smell, but odours from deep in the shared pipes may return. We inspect the drain and accessible openings and clear what we can, but lasting fixes may require the shared network to be inspected from outside or managed by the building authority.
Will deep cleaning improve the extraction hood and ventilation strength?
Cleaning the hood and filter thoroughly improves ventilation noticeably for a period, but if the main openings are blocked or the hood is weak by design, the gain is limited. We measure ventilation before and after, but fixing the hood itself requires a technician and may fall outside the cleaning scope.
How many times per year should a kitchen in Al Farouq be deep cleaned?
It depends on the shop below. Above a restaurant: every two months. Above a clothes shop or general retail: every three to four months. Flats exposed to heavy neighbours grease may also need cleaning every three months to stay on top of the load.
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 Farouq 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 Farouq.
