We work empty homes daily
An empty home is a different job from a lived-in one, it exposes everything and lets us reach it.
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in Al Ajwad, Jeddah
Al Ajwad sits in east Jeddah, inland from the coast and farther from the damp, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It creeps in under doors and settles on every surface overnight, so an empty home clean here must reach the dust that is already deeply settled and the fine grit that scratches new marble and tile.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Ajwad
Floors here are marble in villa plots and ceramic tile in apartment blocks, both scratched by fine gravel that comes in on the wind. Grey sediment from roof tank water leaves a film in basins that regular cleaning barely touches. For the method itself, see the full move-in and move-out cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Sharp grit that scratches new marble and tile
Fine gravel carried on the wind from open ground scratches modern floors immediately. Our clean starts with careful dry sweeping before any water touches the floor, otherwise the marble gets fine lines that catch light.
-
The second reason
Grey sediment from roof tank water
Tank water leaves a grey film in basins and sinks. Deep cleaning with dilute acid removes this sediment, and rapid drying prevents it returning, which matters in a dry climate where slow evaporation lets it resettle.
-
The third reason
Dust settles heavy in fabrics overnight
Curtains and mattresses become weighted by dust accumulation in the fabric. We remove surface dust from every surface, and recommend separate washing of textiles before the home is first occupied.
What move-in and move-out cleaning covers in Al Ajwad
East of the expressway on open ground with hills beyond the ring roads, the air moves freely from north and east bringing coarser, lighter dust particles that differ from the fine black soot of central Jeddah.
-
Cabinets inside and out
Cabinets need dry sweeping first before any mop work, so fine gravel inside shelves does not transfer to new floors when doors open and close.
-
The whole kitchen
The kitchen needs care on metals and taps, removing grey sediment from fittings and deep cleaning shelves and ovens of any grease that has settled.
-
Bathrooms and scale removal
Bathrooms need mineral sediment removed from basins and drains, then thorough drying to slow its swift return in the dry inland air of the district.
-
Floors and corners
Floors start with careful dry sweeping to lift gravel, then gentle mopping to avoid scratches on new marble and ceramic, which this gritty environment damages quickly.
-
Windows and tracks
Windows and tracks need careful dust removal as particles settle deeply in frames and sills, external ledges collect the most dust and need special attention.
-
Doors, switches and light fittings
Doors, switches and fittings get a careful wipe, light fixtures need dust cleared gently from glass and around the fittings themselves.
Not included

How an empty home is actually cleaned
-
1
Walk the empty property first
We go room to room, note the condition, and agree what's dirt to clean versus damage to report.
-
2
Top-down dry work
Ceiling corners, vents, light fixtures, tops of cabinets and doors, dusted before any water touches a surface, so we're not turning that dust into streaks lower down.
-
3
Cabinets and wardrobes, inside and out
Empty is the moment.
-
4
Kitchen, with the appliance gaps opened
Degrease the counters and fronts, then clean the walls and floor where the stove and fridge stood.
-
5
Bathrooms descaled
Scale on glass and taps and the grout between tiles is broken down, not just wiped over.
-
6
Floors, then a walkthrough with you
Floors come last, after the dust above has settled and been cleared.

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 move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Ajwad
The new house is covered in a grey dust layer on everything. Where does this come from?
The dust comes from open ground around the district. East winds carry fine particles that enter under doors and around windows even when shut. A full clean removes these layers completely.
Fine white lines have started appearing on the new marble. How does this happen?
Lines appear when marble is mopped while grit remains on the floor. Our clean prevents this by careful dry sweeping first, before any water touches the surface.
The new bathroom has yellow spots in the basins. What causes these?
Roof tank water contains minerals and salts that leave marks. These spots are removed by specialist cleaning and fade with regular use and good ventilation over time.
How many hours does it typically take to clean a two bedroom flat here?
Time varies with flat size and condition. We do not promise specific hours, instead we work to one standard until the job meets that standard, regardless of time spent.
My flat sits above a shop with cooking smells rising up. Will your clean remove them?
Cleaning removes grease and odours on the flat itself. Smells from the shop below need strong ventilation and may require sealing around the kitchen floor edges.
Mattresses and curtains are so heavy with dust. Can these be washed too?
Our clean removes surface dust. For deep washing, we suggest separate laundry or specialist textile cleaning before the home is first used.
Do you clean inside the cabinets and wardrobes?
Yes, when they're empty, that's the whole point of timing this clean around an empty home. Shelves, inside faces and doors are all wiped. If they're still full, we can only do the outsides.
How is this different from a regular deep clean?
A deep clean is for a home you're living in; this is built around an empty property and a handover.
How much does move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Ajwad 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 Ajwad.
