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 Mursalat, Jeddah
Al Mursalat is a residential district in the far southeastern corner of Jeddah near the boundary with Bahrah, where apartment blocks predominate and flats are widely offered for rent and sale. An empty home here is a flat in a block, and the oily dust from diesel and workshops penetrates walls and floors. Humidity from the nearby coast causes mould in bathrooms and kitchens. Cleaning focuses on removing grease, mould and roof tank sediment from every corner of the flat.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Mursalat
The district is mostly apartment buildings and flats, so an empty home here is a flat in a block and needs cleaning different from a villa, and oily dust and dark particles cling to cabinets and walls. For the method itself, see the full move-in and move-out cleaning page.
-
The first reason
A flat in a shared building needs care with the common areas
A flat in a block may have a shared entrance, corridors and shared stairs with other residents, so cleaning focuses on the flat itself, but access through shared areas affects team movement and equipment handling.
-
The second reason
Oily dust clings to walls and cabinets rising from below
The district is close to port and workshops, so oily diesel dust rises with heat and clings to walls, cabinets and windows. Cleaning must use strong treatment to remove this oily film completely.
-
The third reason
Tank sediment and humidity combine in bathrooms and kitchens
A flat needs water from the roof tank, and sediment from the tank leaves a grey film in basins. Humidity from the sea causes mould in bathrooms, and cleaning must remove all of this together.

The whole kitchen
The kitchen needs cleaning of grease and tank sediment, and sinks and floors are treated with special care.
-
Bathrooms and scale removal
Bathrooms need specialist treatment to remove grey sediment from the tank and mould from dampness on walls.
-
Floors and corners
Ceramic floors are cleaned of dark dust and sediment and may need extra effort to remove the dark layer.
-
Windows and tracks
Windows and tracks are cleared of accumulated oily dust, and glass is treated to remove the dark film until completely clear.
-
Doors, switches and light fittings
Doors, switches and light fittings are wiped clear of grease and dark dust so operation becomes smooth again.

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 South Jeddah
South Jeddah runs from the port and the industrial city down towards Al Khumrah, and homes here sit between the sea and the heavy goods roads. The dust is darker and oilier than in the north, a mix of diesel soot and workshop grit, and it clings to net curtains, window sills and the tops of kitchen cupboards. Floors in the older low rise housing are often plain cement or ceramic tile that darkens where soot is walked in. Humidity from the coast adds mildew in bathrooms and a musty smell in stored fabrics.
Questions about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Mursalat
The flat is in an apartment building surrounded by other residents. Will cleaning affect them?
Cleaning focuses on the flat itself, and the team works carefully in shared areas so neighbours are not disturbed, and equipment is stored inside the flat.
The flat is old and smells of mould and cooking grease. Will cleaning remove all of this?
Cleaning removes mould and grease from walls, cabinets and floors, but if the flat has been sealed for a long time, the smell may take time to clear with good ventilation.
The flat is new but has dampness and mould from the roof tank. Is this normal?
Dampness from the tank may cause mould in new flats if they are sealed for long periods, and cleaning removes all mould and sediment from basins completely.
The sinks and basins have thick grey sediment. How long does it take to clean?
Removing thick sediment takes extra time, and a small flat takes 3 to 4 hours, with more time needed if sediment and grease are heavy.
The flat has been empty for months and mould is everywhere. Is cleaning enough?
Cleaning removes all visible mould, but if the flat has been sealed tightly, it may need good ventilation after cleaning so smell disappears completely.
How many flats in Al Mursalat do you typically clean each month?
We prioritise quality over quantity for every flat, and each home in Al Mursalat needs adequate time to remove grease, mould and sediment properly.
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 Mursalat 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 Mursalat.
