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 Durrah, Jeddah
Al Durrah is a new development in north Jeddah within the Obhur subdivisions, with active building work and vacant plots scattered among new homes. Brand-new villas here are covered in dry construction dust on every surface, and vacant land around the district means dust will return quickly after cleaning. The first clean and ongoing maintenance are not the same job.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Durrah
Building continues and vacant land is extensive. New villas are covered in white cement and concrete dust on every surface and inside every cupboard. An empty home feels like an unswept construction site. For the method itself, see what move-in and move-out cleaning involves.
-
The first reason
Ongoing construction and vacant plots around the villa
The district has buildings under construction and extensive vacant land. Dust blows in from every direction and spreads rapidly. The new villa may look relatively clean, but vacant land around it means dust will return quickly when windows are opened.
-
The second reason
White construction dust and concrete
Every surface in the new villa carries a layer of fine cement dust. Kitchen, bathroom and cupboards are filled with dried construction debris. Cleaning requires sweeping first, then washing several times to remove the layers.
-
The third reason
Elevation and exposure to open air
New villas may sit slightly raised and face open air from all directions. Dust enters windows and openings easily. An empty home needs strong ventilation but will continue to receive dust from outside.
What move-in and move-out cleaning covers in Al Durrah
A subdivision of the new urban extension in north Jeddah, part of Obhur Al Shamaliyah where newly released land and new housing dominate, served by main roads connecting to Jeddah Madinah Road and King Abdulaziz Road.
-
Cabinets inside and out
Brand-new cupboards from the factory carry dry construction dust inside and out. We open them fully and wipe with soft cloths, then dry them and let air circulate.
-
The whole kitchen
The new kitchen has construction debris and paint marks on cookers and ovens. We inspect openings, cracks and walls and wipe gently.
-
Bathrooms and scale removal
The new bathroom may have white concrete marks on basins and sinks. We wipe them gently with mild cleaners that will not damage new ceramics.
-
Floors and corners
Marble or porcelain floors are brand new and have metal grit and dust all over them. We sweep several times first, then wash gently with warm water.
-
Windows and tracks
New windows have white dust on glass and paint marks. We open tracks and wipe glass and frames several times.
-
Doors, switches and light fittings
New doors, switches and lighting have dust and paint on them. We wipe inside and out and dry them, and switches may need a gentle cleaner.
Not included

- Moving, packing or storing furniture and belongings

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 Durrah
Building continues all around the villa and vacant land is very extensive. Will dust come back very quickly after you clean?
Yes. Vacant land and active construction mean dust will return quickly. The first clean removes everything, but within days new dust may blow in through windows.
The new villa has thick construction dust on every surface, even inside cupboards. Does your clean remove it permanently?
Yes. We sweep first then wash several times. Dry construction dust disappears completely. But if the home still has heavy building materials or fresh paint, we may need extra time.
The new villa has new marble floors and they have fine metal grit from the site all over them. Can you clean them without scratching?
Yes. We sweep first to remove all grit, then wash gently with warm water. New marble is delicate so we take care not to press hard.
Is it better to book the clean before the furniture arrives or after?
Cleaning before furniture is best. An empty home is easy to reach every corner of. After furniture arrives, spaces under it become hard to clean.
The new villa smells of paint and cement. Does cleaning remove the smell or does it need long ventilation?
Cleaning removes odours from surfaces partly. But paint and cement smells may linger in the air and need sustained ventilation for several days to fade.
Do vacant plots around the villa mean everything will get dirty quickly?
Yes. Vacant land around the district means strong winds and lots of dust. Windows, furniture and curtains will soil quickly. An empty home needs regular checks and windows need to stay firmly closed on windy days.
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 Durrah 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 Durrah.
