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 Aqeeq, Jeddah
Al Aqeeq is a subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of the new urban extension mostly made up of newly released land plots and housing, with ongoing construction nearby. Move-out cleaning here means removing fine sand tracked in on shoes and from gardens, clearing chalky rings left by automatic sprinkler spray drying on tile, and washing down curtains and surfaces that have caught grey construction dust settling from the developing landscape.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Aqeeq
New villas in Al Aqeeq have large gardens and balconies, and fine sand and grey dust enter easily from outdoor areas. For the method itself, see our move-in and move-out cleaning service in detail.
-
The first reason
Fine sand and chalky sprinkler rings on tile
New homes in Al Aqeeq have gardens with automatic sprinkler systems. Water spray dries leaving white chalky rings on tile. Fine sand from the garden is tracked in on shoes and leaves streaks on mirror-smooth marble floors.
-
The second reason
Grey construction dust from vacant plots around the site
Ongoing building work and vacant land around Al Aqeeq send fine grey dust through balcony doors, windows and entrances. This powder settles on furniture, shelves and curtains and needs thorough clearing.
-
The third reason
Curtains and fabrics trapping fine settled dust
Curtains on balconies and in open rooms catch grey and fine sand dust that settles overnight. Separate washing of all fabrics is essential before handover because both visible and fine invisible dust remains trapped.

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.

Questions about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Aqeeq
The garden has an automatic sprinkler system. Does water spray leave white marks on the tile?
Yes, spray dries leaving white chalky mineral rings on tile. These are removed with specialist cleaner and proper rinsing.
Fine sand from the garden constantly blows in. Will the house be clean now?
Deep cleaning removes sand currently inside, but new sand will return with furniture and living unless doors and balconies are sealed.
The home is brand new. Is there construction dust even after the contractor handed over?
Brand new homes have hidden construction dust on high surfaces, corners and balconies. First cleaning reveals significant grey dust residue.
The floor is new shiny marble. Can it be mopped without damage?
New marble is mopped with gentle cleaners and warm water only. Hard brushes or strong chemicals can scratch the polished finish.
The balconies are spacious with sand and leaves. Will those be cleared completely?
Yes, balconies and courtyards are part of deep cleaning. Sand, leaves and soil are cleared from all exterior surfaces.
Construction is ongoing around the villa. Does that increase dust in the home?
Yes, building work and vacant plots around Al Aqeeq increase grey dust significantly. Deep cleaning removes current dust and good ventilation after move-in is essential.
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 Aqeeq 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 Aqeeq.
