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 Ruwais, Jeddah
Al Ruwais is an old district west of Madinah Road in central Jeddah near the Corniche, where ageing apartment blocks stand beside newer buildings. It borders Al Hamra, Al Sharafiyah and West Baghdadiyah, and Hail Street is its liveliest thoroughfare. Floors are old terrazzo or ceramic, worn smooth and easily marked by cooking grease from the busy main street. Grease rises from restaurants and leaves rings on smooth floors.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Ruwais
Black dust from Madinah Road clings to curtains. Restaurant grease from Hail Street rises and leaves marks on smooth floors. For the method itself, see how we approach move-in and move-out cleaning.
-
The first reason
Old worn terrazzo and smooth ceramic floors
Terrazzo and old ceramic tile are worn smooth and easily stained by cooking grease. Restaurant grease from busy Hail Street rises and leaves rings on smooth floors that show immediately.
-
The second reason
Heavy accumulated mineral scale from decades
Old kitchens and bathrooms carry thick mineral deposits from years of water flow on taps and around drains. Aged pipework leaves rust marks in basins. These require firm scrubbing and time to clear.
-
The third reason
Black dust and potential damp from roads and sea
Madinah Road and Hail Street carry fine black dust that embeds in curtain fibres. Proximity to the sea adds potential moisture and damp, especially in older corners and sealed spaces.

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 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 Ruwais
The old terrazzo floor has heavy grease stains from years. Will your clean remove them completely?
We scrub terrazzo hard to remove grease and grime. Very old stains may leave some faint trace, but the floor will look completely clean.
Taps and drains are coated in very thick mineral deposits from decades. Will you clean those?
Yes, we remove all scale using targeted solutions and strong scrubbing. It takes time, but we will not leave until they shine.
Hail Street is very busy with restaurants. Do cooking smell and grease rise into the flat?
Yes, cooking grease and odours rise from the street. We address this through ventilation and deep cleaning, and odour may return with restaurant activity.
Heavy curtains are full of black dust from the road. Do you clean those?
We remove dust from the curtain surface as much as possible. Heavy textiles need full laundry, but we clear most visible dirt.
The old flat is damp and the bathroom shows dampness from the nearby sea. Will cleaning remove mould?
We remove mould using targeted solutions. Mould may return if ventilation is poor, but cleaning now starts from a completely clean baseline.
Do you open behind fridges, ovens and appliances in this old kitchen?
Yes, we open behind every appliance and clean the gaps thoroughly. Grease and grime accumulate there and cleaning underneath 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 Ruwais cost?
