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 Shorouq, Jeddah
Al Shorouq is a modern east Jeddah district mixing apartments, villas and commercial spines between Haramain Road and King Abdullah Road. The air is drier than on the coast and the dust is coarser and paler. It creeps in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, and marble scratches from grit if it is mopped before being swept. This clean is about controlling dry dust and sharp gravel.

What changes about move-in and move-out cleaning in Al Shorouq
Dust in Al Shorouq is drier and coarser than coastal dust, creeping under doors quickly and making new marble floors need careful sweeping before any mopping. For the method itself, see our guide to move-in and move-out cleaning.
-
The first reason
Fine gravel scratches new marble unless swept first
Al Shorouq sits on open ground, and fine gravel enters on shoes and settles on floors. New marble scratches immediately if mopped without sweeping first. Dry sweep with care first, then mop with clean water, then a final dry pass: that is the order here.
-
The second reason
Roof tank sediment leaves a grey film in sinks and basins
Homes in Al Shorouq rely on roof tanks for water, and mineral sediment from the tank leaves a grey film in basins and on tap heads. We clean this sediment before handover so it does not transfer to the new tenants' clothes or dishes.
-
The third reason
Dry air means dust settles fast, not slow
The dry air in Al Shorouq means dust settles quickly onto surfaces rather than floating. This makes sweeping easier but means every corner and surface needs close attention, because settled dust is harder to remove than airborne dust.
What move-in and move-out cleaning covers in Al Shorouq
Al Shorouq lies east of Haramain Road between Al Wahah and Al Tawfiq, a mix of apartment buildings, villas and shops on organised streets, with newer residential subdivisions adjoining Al Nakhil.
-
Cabinets inside and out
Fitted cupboards and wardrobes in the relatively newer homes of Al Shorouq are deep and modern, so we clean them inside and out and remove dust from every shelf.
-
The whole kitchen
Kitchens in these homes are equipped with modern appliances, and we clean underneath them where gravel creeps in and settles.
-
Bathrooms and scale removal
Bathrooms in Al Shorouq are simple and do not suffer from severe humidity like the coast, but tap heads may be clogged with sediment from roof tank water.
-
Floors and corners
Floors are new marble or porcelain tile, swept dry first with care then mopped with clean water and finished with a final dry pass.
-
Windows and tracks
Windows facing the main roads collect more dust, so we clean them thoroughly and clear the tracks of fine gravel completely.
-
Doors, switches and light fittings
Doors, switches and light fittings are usually clean, but dry dust leaves a fine film on glass that we wipe away carefully.
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.

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 Shorouq
New marble floors scratch easily from gravel. How do you protect them?
We sweep dry first with a soft broom to remove every grain of gravel, then mop with clean water and dry thoroughly. Fine gravel means careful dry sweeping before any wet cleaning.
Grey sediment on tap heads and in basins from roof tank water. Will it clean?
Yes, mineral deposits from roof tank water clean with a light acid treatment or vigorous scrubbing. We clean tap heads and basins well before handing over.
Does the dry east dust enter the home more than in other districts?
Yes, open ground and dry air mean dust enters under doors and settles fast. Cleaning requires repeated sweeping and close attention to every corner.
The villa is new and the garden has gravel paths. Does this affect the clean?
Yes, gravel from garden paths is carried inside on shoes. We clean the courtyard first with care before entering the home.
Do sprinkler rings leave permanent marks on new tile?
Sprinkler spray can leave chalky deposits on new tile. We clean these with special treatment before handover.
The location is between two main roads. Does dust increase?
Yes, the position between Haramain Road and King Abdullah Road means more dust than inland districts. The clean focuses on floors and windows facing the roads.
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 Shorouq 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 Shorouq.
