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 Faisaliyah, Jeddah
Al Faisaliyah is an older central district of Jeddah with dense apartment blocks and villas among commercial streets. Floors here are usually old terrazzo or ceramic tile, worn smooth from years of use. Walls carry cooking grease that drifts up from the street and shops below. Move-out cleaning needs careful handling of smooth floors and heavy scale buildup on taps and drains.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
Flats sit in tightly packed buildings with shops directly beneath them. Cooking odours and grease rise from the street and businesses below. Floors are smooth from years of wear and curtains accumulate fine black dust from the main roads. For the method itself, see what move-in and move-out cleaning involves.
-
The first reason
Old district, ancient pipework and heavy scale
Old-city Jeddah and rusty pipework with visible pipes. Taps carry thick scale from years of use. Drains may be partly blocked by sediment. Walls and ceilings may be damp from old pipes.
-
The second reason
Smooth, slippery and aged floors
Floors are old terrazzo or ceramic tile, very smooth and easily stained by cooking grease. Wiping needs care because the floor may become more slippery. An empty home needs special treatment for grease and oils.
-
The third reason
Main-road dust and odours rising from the street
The district fronts King Fahd Road and main routes directly. Fine black dust enters windows and doors. Cooking smell from shops below rises up. Curtains and carpets trap dust and odours easily.

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.
-

Floors, then a walkthrough with you
Floors come last, after the dust above has settled and been cleared.

What is different about Central Jeddah
Central Jeddah is the old heart of the city: Al Balad with its coral stone houses, and the dense apartment quarters around it with shops beneath the flats. Floors here are often terrazzo or older ceramic tile, worn smooth and easily stained by cooking grease that drifts up from the street. Older kitchens and bathrooms carry heavy scale on taps and around drains, and pipework in the older blocks leaves rust marks in basins. Rugs and curtains take on the fine black dust of the main roads, so they need washing more often than elsewhere.
Questions about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
The floor is very old terrazzo and smooth and might become even more slippery from cleaning. How does your cleaning handle it?
We wipe very gently with no high pressure. Smooth old floors need special care. We may use mild cleaners that remove dirt without making the floor more oily.
The taps and drains have thick scale from years of use. Can it be removed?
Yes. Scale is removed gently with specialist cleaners. But if scale runs very deep into the metal itself, it may need taps or drains to be replaced.
The flat sits above a food shop and grease comes up and the walls feel oily. Does your clean remove grease from walls and surfaces?
Yes. Grease is removed from surfaces and walls with heavy-duty degreasers. Old curtains and carpets may need separate washing if grease is deep.
The old flat has obvious cracks between walls and floors. Does your clean reach into the cracks?
Yes. We try to reach cracks with specialist tools. But if cracks run very deep or hold mould, they may need repair or extra treatment.
Old furniture, curtains and carpets smell of smoke and grease from years. Does your clean remove the smell?
Cleaning removes odours from hard surfaces partly. Old soft furnishings, curtains and carpets may need separate washing or even replacement if odours have sunk very deep.
I am renting out and need the deposit back. Will this old home look clean to the landlord after your cleaning?
Cleaning removes dirt, odours and grease within reason. But a very old home may need repairs or upgrades after cleaning before it looks good to the landlord.
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 Faisaliyah cost?
