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 Manar, Jeddah
Al Manar is an east Jeddah district, far from the coast where drier air carries coarse pale dust from open ground that does not lift or blow away. It settles on every surface overnight and scratches new marble and tile immediately. Cleaning must start with careful dry sweeping before any water touches floors, otherwise grit leaves permanent lines.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Manar
Marble in villa plots and ceramic tile in apartment blocks are scratched by fine gravel left on floors before mopping. Roof tank sediment leaves a grey film in all basins that water and soap alone cannot lift. For the method itself, see the full move-in and move-out cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Sharp grit that scratches marble and tile
Dry air carries fine gravel from open ground around the district. These grains scratch new marble and ceramic tile immediately when floors are mopped without sweeping first. Our careful dry sweep before any water is essential.
-
The second reason
Grey mineral sediment from roof tanks
Tank water leaves mineral deposits in basins and sinks. These deposits do not lift with water and soap alone, they need dilute acid and rapid drying to prevent swift return.
-
The third reason
Dust settled heavy in textiles overnight
Dust settles in fabric and weighs it down. Curtains, mattresses and upholstery need separate washing before first use. Cleaning removes surface dust, not the deep accumulation inside the weave.
What move-in and move-out cleaning covers in Al Manar
Stretching from Hada Al Sham Road in the north to Al Samir in the south, villas sit alongside modestly priced apartment blocks with shopping centres nearby. Open ground surrounds the district, the air is dry and dust settles constantly.
-
Cabinets inside and out
Cabinets need dry sweeping first before any wiping. Fine sand grains from outside transfer easily to floors when doors open and close if not removed first.
-
The whole kitchen
The kitchen needs care on taps and shelves, 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 around drains, then thorough drying to slow its swift return in this dry inland air.
-
Floors and corners
Floors start with careful dry sweeping to lift grit, then gentle mopping to avoid scratches on new marble and ceramic that the gritty environment damages quickly.
-
Windows and tracks
Windows and tracks need careful dust removal as particles settle deeply, external sills collect the most dust and need special attention.
-
Doors, switches and light fittings
Doors, switches and fittings get a gentle wipe. Light fixtures need dust cleared gently from glass and around the fittings.
Not included
- Exterior facade and windows reached from outside or at height
- Moving, packing or storing furniture and belongings
- Repairs, patching walls, filling holes, fixing fixtures or paint
- Hauling construction rubble or removing paint splatter from renovation
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 Manar
The new flat is covered in grey dust within hours. Where does it come from?
Dust comes from open ground around the district. Dry air carries it in under doors and windows even when shut. Deep cleaning removes these settled layers.
My new marble started scratching from the inside. Why is this happening?
Scratches come from mopping floors that still have grit on them. Our clean sweeps first, which prevents leaving marks in the marble.
The new bathroom has yellow spots in the basins. Where do these come from?
Roof tank water contains minerals that leave marks. Specialist cleaning removes them, and the issue reduces with regular use and good ventilation.
The house is close to a large shopping mall with cooking smells. Will cleaning remove them?
Cleaning removes grease from the house itself. Strong cooking smells from the mall need strong ventilation and extra sealing around openings to the kitchen.
My flat sits above a commercial shop. Will cooking smell from below ever leave?
The flat is positioned to receive odours. Cleaning removes the grease present now, but new smells will drift up from the shop. Good sealing helps manage this.
Mattresses and curtains are so heavy with dust. Should I wash them before or after cleaning?
Our clean removes surface dust. Deep washing works best before first use. We recommend separate laundry or specialist textile cleaning for thorough results.
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 Manar cost?
