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 Tawfeeq, Jeddah
Al Tawfeeq is a mixed district where shops sit beneath homes, and kitchen windows look directly onto busy streets where restaurant grease and exhaust rise upward. The dust here is coarser and paler than on the coast, entering the kitchen straight from the street and mixing with cooking oil in the same space. Cleaning must dissolve the compound of grease and dust together, not address them separately.

What changes about kitchen cleaning in Al Tawfeeq
Kitchens in flats above shops trap road dust and commercial grease much faster than kitchens in villas, and buildup accelerates if cleaning is not done regularly. For the method itself, see how we approach kitchen cleaning.
-
The first reason
Restaurant grease rises from the shops below
Cafes and restaurants beneath the flats release a heavy oil that rises into the apartments above. This commercial grease is thicker and harder to remove than domestic cooking oil. Cabinets, the hood and tile behind the hob trap commercial grease mixed with road dust, forming a black sticky layer that regular wiping cannot touch.
-
The second reason
Coarse dust scratches floors if not swept first
Dust from the main roads here is coarser and paler than dust from inner districts. It enters under doors and settles on ceramic and marble floors. If it is not swept before mopping, it scratches the surface. Cleaning must start with deep sweeping before any chemical is applied, and floors need gentle handling.
-
The third reason
Old pipework leaves grey film in the sink
Older plumbing in buildings above shops leaves a grey sediment from rust and mineral content in the sink and drain. Cleaning removes current deposits, but aged water from the roof tank keeps depositing more. The sink needs separate attention with a product that breaks down both mineral scale and rust together.
What kitchen cleaning covers in Al Tawfeeq
The quarter sits close to University of Jeddah Road and its stadium, with heavy traffic and restaurants filling the streets below. Commercial dust and grease fumes drift upward directly into every apartment kitchen through windows and ventilation.
-
Grease off the cabinet fronts
Cabinet fronts above the shops trap commercial grease mixed with road dust, turning harder to remove than cabinets in villas and requiring twice as much reaction time.
-
Extractor hood and filter
The hood and filter here are blocked by heavy commercial oil from the kitchens below, needing separate cleaning and possible disassembly to reach the core.
-
Oven and hob
The hob and splash tile carry layers of restaurant grease mixed with coarse dust, needing a strong product and an extended dwell time to penetrate.
-
Tiles behind the hob
The wall and tiles behind the hob collect both heavy grease from below and black dust from the street, requiring a product that breaks both compounds simultaneously.
-
Sink and mixer tap
The sink and tap carry deposits from old pipes and mineral content from the tank, and the water itself keeps adding new sediment as it flows.
-
Floor and corners last
The floor traps coarse, sharp grit from the street in the ceramic and corners, so deep sweeping and care against scratching during mopping are essential each time.

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 Tawfeeq
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
A mixed district means the kitchen is exposed to commercial grease from below and street dust from above at the same time. The product and method must dissolve both compounds together, not treat grease and dust as separate problems.

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 Tawfeeq
Does black dust from the markets disappear with cleaning or return quickly?
Cleaning removes current dust and grease, but dust returns fast in this location because exhaust and traffic below never stop. Good ventilation after cleaning helps, but regular sweeping between professional cleaning sessions is essential to manage it.
Is restaurant grease harder to remove than home cooking grease?
Yes, commercial restaurant grease is harder because it is mixed with road dust and accumulates fast. A standard degrease product may need longer to work, or a second application. The combination of heavy grease plus coarse dust requires stronger chemistry and more reaction time.
Will old ceramic floors scratch during cleaning if there is grit underneath?
Yes, coarse dust from the street stays trapped in older ceramic. If it is not swept first before mopping, the brush or water pushes grit and scratches the surface. We always start with deep sweeping and airing before any chemical is applied.
Can we clean the whole flat including the kitchen at the same time here?
Yes, but the kitchen needs separate time because restaurant grease and dust need a stronger product and longer reaction time. We start with the kitchen and cabinets first, then move through the rest of the flat after.
Does the sink need separate treatment because of old pipework?
Yes, the sink and drain carry deposits from old pipes. The grey film from rust and minerals needs a product that breaks down both scale and corrosion together. Full kitchen cleaning includes the sink, but it takes extra time to restore it properly.
Do windows and glass around the kitchen need separate cleaning here?
Yes, glass facing the street traps restaurant grease and black dust. Cleaning removes buildup, but windows return to being dirty quickly because of the location. We focus on interior glass first, then address exterior panes as 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 Tawfeeq 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 Tawfeeq.
