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 Ruwais, Jeddah
Al Ruwais is an old district west of Madinah Road near the Corniche, where aged apartment blocks stand beside newer buildings. 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.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Ruwais
Al Ruwais mixes buildings decades old with newer blocks side by side. Old flats have corroded piping that leaves rust stains, and carpets here absorb road dust and cooking smells more than newer districts. For the method itself, see what kitchen cleaning involves.
-
The first reason
Smooth worn terrazzo floors absorb and show grease stains
Central Jeddah is the old heart of the city, and Al Ruwais is part of it. Floors are often terrazzo or older ceramic tile, worn smooth by decades of foot traffic and easily marked by cooking grease rising from the street. Grease leaves dark shiny patches on smooth surfaces that are hard to hide.
-
The second reason
Heavy scale buildup on old taps and around old drains
Old kitchens and bathrooms carry scale deposited over many years of hard water use. The scale is thick and hard, sitting on taps and around drain rims. Removing it takes time and care, and deep scale may not come off completely.
-
The third reason
Rust marks from old corroded pipework stain everything below
Pipework in the older blocks has corroded over decades and leaves rust marks in basins. The rust comes from the water itself, not the cleaning. Removing rust stains is partly chemical and partly mechanical, and old deep stains may not vanish.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Ruwais
An old district west of Madinah Road near the Corniche, where ageing apartment blocks stand beside newer buildings. It borders Al Hamra, Al Sharafiyah and West Baghdadiyah, Hail Street is its liveliest thoroughfare, and it contains the International Medical Center, Haifa Mall, Al Ruwais Park and mosques, with older quarters under redevelopment.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinets in Al Ruwais are usually old wood or degraded laminate with years of grease buildup. Extra time may be needed to soften and lift old deposits.
-
Extractor hood and filter
Extractor hoods are old and weak, and completely clogged. Full dismantling and soaking of the filter is often necessary.
-
Oven and hob
Ovens and hobs carry old baked-on grease and carbon buildup. The degrease must work longer on oxidised, hardened deposits.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Tiles behind the hob may be old, cracked or loosely set, and covered in years of soot and scale. Gentle work only; harsh scrubbing risks dislodging tiles.
-
Sink and mixer tap
Sink and mixer are old with heavy scale and rust stains. Cleaning is slow and some stains may be permanent.
-
Floor and corners last
Floors are smooth worn terrazzo or old ceramic tile. Grease shows clearly as dark shiny patches. The final pass must be thorough; slipperiness requires ventilation and caution.
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.

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 Ruwais
The smooth terrazzo floor shows every grease mark. How do you clean it?
Terrazzo is smooth and slippery. Grease leaves shiny stains. Degrease works, but light scrubbing may be needed. Warning: the floor becomes very slippery after cleaning; ventilation and care are essential.
The carpet and curtains smell odd. Will degrease help?
Degrease removes grease from fabrics, but smell from road dust embedded in the weave lingers. We recommend good ventilation after cleaning. Fabrics may need separate professional washing for odour removal.
The white deposits on the taps will not come off. What are they?
Mineral scale from years of hard water. Specialist degrease can soften it, but very old scale may not come off completely. We do our best and explain what is permanent.
Orange stains in the basin from somewhere in the pipes. Can you remove them?
Rust stains from corroded old piping. We can treat them, but deep rust may be permanent. Pipe replacement may eventually be necessary.
The building is old and the kitchen is old. Will deep cleaning extend its life?
Deep cleaning removes grease, scale and rust. But old appliances may need replacement soon. We tell you honestly what is cleanable and what needs replacement.
How often should an Al Ruwais kitchen be cleaned?
Every nine to ten weeks. Grease from Madinah Road and Hail Street drifts in steadily. The accumulation is slower than near the coast but steady from road traffic.
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 Ruwais 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 Ruwais.
