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 Shorouq, Jeddah
Al Shorouq is a district in east Jeddah between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, due east of the Haramain Road and far from the sea. The air here is dry and coarse, and fine dust from the hills mixes with grease and darkens it into a stubborn compound. Floors are glossy ceramic in apartment zones and marble in villa areas, and both scratch easily from grit if not swept before mopping. Grease here is lighter in colour than in south Jeddah but the coarse dust makes it harder to remove.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Shorouq
Coarse dry dust from the hills enters kitchens, bringing fine grit and sand particles. Grease mixes with this dust and becomes grey-toned, difficult to dissolve with water alone. For the method itself, see our kitchen cleaning service in detail.
-
The first reason
Coarse dry dust darkens grease and makes it much harder to remove
Al Shorouq faces the desert hills and the air is dry and gritty. Fine dust from sand and pebbles enters the kitchen and mixes with grease to discolour it. This compound is harder to remove than pure grease, and water alone cannot break it. We need a chemical degreaser that dissolves grease and clears dust simultaneously.
-
The second reason
Glossy new floors scratch from fine grit brought in on shoes
Flats in Al Shorouq have shiny new ceramic floors, and villas have polished marble. Fine grit from the hills gets tracked in on shoes and scratches the gloss when mopped. We must sweep thoroughly before mopping, and hard scrubbing without prior sweeping may cause permanent scratches.
-
The third reason
Low humidity means grease stays dry-sticky longer without dissolving
The dry air in Al Shorouq means grease does not dissolve easily with water alone like it does in humid zones. Grease becomes a dry, tacky deposit on surfaces that does not flow freely, so we need chemical treatment that we leave to work for a longer time.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Shorouq
A relatively modern residential district east of the Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, with mixed apartment buildings and villas, far from the coast and close to desert hills.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts in Al Shorouq are new and glossy and need gentle touch, with dust mixed into grease so we use a product that removes both together. We recommend caution with glossy paint finishes.
-
Extractor hood and filter
Extractor hood and filter are relatively clean because dry air causes no moisture buildup. Fine dust may clog the filter though, so we clean it thoroughly and may recommend replacement if air flow is weak.
-
Oven and hob
Stovetop and splashback are relatively clean but may carry dust-darkened grease, which we treat with product that removes dust and grease combined without hard scrubbing that would damage new tile.
-
Tiles behind the hob
Tile behind the hob is new and glossy and grout lines are clean relatively. We clean carefully because new tile scratches easily from hard scrubbing.
-
Sink and mixer tap
Sink and tap fixtures are glossy and white mineral scale from roof tank water may appear on them. We clean with a product that removes mineral and iron staining together.
-
Floor and corners last
Floor is new glossy tile or marble and extremely vulnerable to grit scratches, so thorough sweeping before mopping is essential and rapid drying protects the finish.
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 East Jeddah
East Jeddah lies furthest from the sea and closest to the open ground and hills beyond the ring roads, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine. Floors are mostly ceramic tile in the apartment districts and marble in the villa areas, both scratched by grit that is mopped rather than swept. Roof tank water leaves a grey film of sediment in baths and basins.
Questions about kitchen cleaning in Al Shorouq
Does coarse dry hill dust make kitchen grease harder to remove?
Yes. Dust mixes with grease and discolours it, making removal harder. Water alone cannot break it down, so we need a strong chemical that dissolves both grease and dust together and is left to work longer.
Do glossy floors scratch from fine grit particles in Al Shorouq?
Yes. Fine pebbles are tracked in on shoes and scratch shiny ceramic and marble when mopped. Thorough sweeping before mopping is essential to prevent permanent scratches.
Does dry air make grease harder to remove than in humid areas?
Yes. Dry air means grease becomes a tacky dry deposit on surfaces and does not flow freely like it does in humid zones. We need chemical treatment left to work longer to achieve results.
Do roof tank minerals leave white marks in sinks and basins?
Yes. Tank water may carry mineral scale and iron deposits. We clean basins with a product that removes mineral staining because dry air may leave white residue from tank water.
Do villas and flats in Al Shorouq need different cleaning approaches?
Villas have polished marble and flats have glossy ceramic, both gleaming but marble is more sensitive. We recommend extra care with villas and gentler products because marble scratches and marks more easily.
How often should a kitchen in Al Shorouq be deep cleaned?
Every four to six months. Coarse dust means mixed grease buildup. Daily sweeping and weekly wiping slow accumulation, but deep cleaning on a reasonable schedule is needed.
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 Shorouq 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 Shorouq.
