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 Sarawat, Jeddah
Al Sarawat is an industrial zone in south Jeddah with warehouses, workshops and scattered homes among wide loading yards. The air here carries diesel soot and heavy industrial grease from the workshops and the constant movement of heavy trucks, and the kitchen collects a mixture of commercial oils and black soot instead of the usual yellow kitchen grease.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Sarawat
Kitchens in Al Sarawat turn black with soot rather than yellow with the usual grease, because the soot is from diesel burning and sticks harder than cooking oil. For the method itself, see the full kitchen cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Black diesel soot from trucks enters every day
Al Sarawat sits on a heavy truck route and diesel burns differently from kitchen fat, leaving black thick oily smoke. It enters through every gap and open door and settles on every surface, turning into a black layer that is hard to remove. This is not normal grease, it is a mixture of soot and heavy oil.
-
The second reason
Workshops all around with constant truck movement
Every home in Al Sarawat has workshops and loading yards nearby with heavy daily traffic from trucks and machinery. Heat and vibrations from the constant movement increase diesel and oil vapour in the air, which is thick with fumes. The kitchen in the home absorbs much of it and it deposits hard.
-
The third reason
Low-rise homes with stony ground and smooth ceramic floors
Homes here are low-rise and floors are usually ceramic or smooth concrete, and grit drifts in from the yard and loose ground with moisture from erratic spraying. Soot and sand on a smooth floor creates a grey-black crust that is hard to shift.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Sarawat
Al Sarawat lies in far south Jeddah near Al Khumrah, a wide commercial zone with large warehouses and scattered housing on stony ground, close to Al Laith Road and the southern corniche with heavy traffic daily.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinets in Al Sarawat are black from heavy soot, and industrial grease clings hard to paint and does not yield to ordinary degreasers.
-
Extractor hood and filter
Hood and filter clog very fast from thick black soot, and may need replacement filters repeated several times a year.
-
Oven and hob
Oven and hob are black from soot not ordinary grease, and soot needs special material that breaks down heavy oil.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Tiles behind the hob are completely black and the grouting is caked hard with soot, cleaning takes long and must protect the grouting.
-
Sink and mixer tap
Sink and tap in an industrial zone are used heavily and water may carry sand and soot from unclean spraying.
-
Floor and corners last
Smooth ceramic or concrete floors show grey-black soot stains that cling hard to the polished surface.
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.

The character of Al Sarawat
Industrial area: workshops, warehouses and loading yards
Industrial means diesel soot dominates instead of normal grease, and the material, time and care are different from a residential zone because the type of contamination is completely different.
Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Sarawat
Why is my kitchen black with soot instead of the usual yellow kitchen grease?
The black soot is from truck diesel, not from your cooking. Diesel burns differently and leaves heavy black soot that clings hard. The difference between cooking grease and industrial soot is large in colour, type and removal method.
Does diesel soot in the kitchen mean the air inside my home is polluted?
The air in the industrial zone carries more pollution than a residential area, but kitchen cleaning does not solve air pollution. Cleaning removes deposited soot, but new soot enters every day from the road. The real answer is in ventilation and protected windows.
Does soot absorb so deep into old cement and tile that it never comes clean?
Smooth ceramic bounces soot off more easily than rough surfaces, but old and weak tile may absorb soot if not cleaned quickly. Cement is worse: it absorbs soot and grease into tiny gaps and does not return to shine. If the home is old, the first clean takes much longer.
Is it better to clean just the kitchen or the whole home at once?
Kitchen alone is much faster and easier, but curtains, rugs and fabrics throughout the home trap black soot. If you clean the kitchen and leave the fabrics black, smell and soot return to the kitchen fast. Some residents ask us to wash curtains at the same time.
Will the soot return quickly after you finish cleaning?
Yes, it returns faster than ordinary kitchen grease. Within a week to ten days the soot begins to return if trucks are still moving. If workshop traffic stops, it accumulates slower. How stable the industrial zone is determines how fast it comes back.
Does the extractor hood filter need replacement under this heavy soot load?
Possibly yes. Heavy soot clogs the filter very fast in industrial zones. You may need replacement more than once a year. We inspect the filter when we arrive and tell you if it needs replacement or can be cleaned deeply.
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 Sarawat 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 Sarawat.
