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 Rehab, Jeddah
Al Rehab is a large mixed district with flats stacked above shops, standalone villas and residential blocks alongside university and business properties. Each type of home accumulates grease differently: flats above restaurants face grease rising from the kitchen below, whilst separate villas control their own cooking. Cleaning here must account for what surrounds each kitchen.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Rehab
Flats directly above restaurants and shops in Al Rehab accumulate heavier grease and cooking odours than villas in the same district, because restaurant grease is thicker and rises through floors. For the method itself, see the full kitchen cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Restaurant grease rises through floors into flats above
Residential flats sitting above shops and restaurants are exposed to heavy grease vapour rising from the kitchens below. Commercial cooking grease is heavier and harder to remove than household grease, and it forms multiple layers on hoods and cupboards that build up over months.
-
The second reason
Different floor materials in flats versus villas require different care
Flats typically have older glazed ceramic tile that is slippery and readily stained by grease, whilst villas often have marble or porcelain. Each surface requires different degreaser formulations to avoid leaving marks or damaging the finish.
-
The third reason
Compact kitchens in blocks versus spacious kitchens in villas
Flat kitchens are small and concentrate heat and grease quickly, whilst villa kitchens are open and airy. The compact flat kitchen needs more thorough degreasing in a confined space, and requires better ventilation during the job to clear fumes.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Rehab
The district mixes apartment blocks over commercial shops and restaurants at street level with independent villas, colleges of the University of Jeddah and markets distributed throughout.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts in flats above restaurants hold deeper layers of commercial grease than other homes, requiring longer soaking time and allowing full chemical reaction through the layers.
-
Extractor hood and filter
Extractor filters in these apartment buildings collect heavy restaurant grease that may need soaking in degreaser solution before mechanical cleaning can work.
-
Oven and hob
Small flat ovens concentrate heat and grease simultaneously, making the deposit harder and more resistant to removal than in the larger villa ovens.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Older tile in flat kitchens absorbs grease into the glaze and between tiles if neglected for years, requiring aggressive scrubbing on grout lines.
-
Sink and mixer tap
Sink drains in older apartment buildings may be partially blocked by accumulated grease, so deep pipe cleaning is often needed alongside the kitchen clean.
-
Floor and corners last
Older ceramic tile floors in flats are prone to chipping from heavy equipment, so careful sweeping before wet cleaning is essential to protect the surface.

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 Rehab
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
The mixed character means some flats sit below restaurants and face heavy commercial grease from above, whilst separate villas require careful marble treatment. Each housing type within the district demands a different approach, and knowing which you are working on matters for method and material choice.

Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Rehab
Does cooking grease from the restaurant below our flat seep up through the floor?
Yes, it rises through gaps in flooring and ventilation passages. Restaurant grease is very heavy and sticks hard to hoods and cabinets. Removing it requires a stronger degreaser than household kitchen grease alone.
Is deep cleaning a flat kitchen very different from cleaning a villa kitchen here?
Yes, significantly. Flats above shops face heavier grease from commercial kitchens below. Villa kitchens need careful treatment of marble or porcelain, whereas flat kitchens need aggressive cleaning of older tile.
Does an extractor hood in a flat above a restaurant get dirty much faster?
Much faster. The hood takes the full force of restaurant grease rising from below, so it dirties faster than villas and needs cleaning more frequently to avoid heavy buildup.
Can we clean the flat kitchen and the shop below it in the same visit?
It can be arranged but the shop needs protection from water and chemicals from above, and the flat risks water drips from below during work. We prefer to schedule these separately.
Are kitchen cleaning products safe on marble in the newer Al Rehab villas?
Yes, we select degreasers formulated for marble and porcelain surfaces. We always test in a hidden area first before cleaning the whole kitchen to be sure.
Can we clean a flat kitchen without disturbing neighbours living above or below?
Yes, we use low odour products and keep noise low. Some mechanical scrubbing sounds are unavoidable, but we work with consideration for shared walls and floors.
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 Rehab 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 Rehab.
