Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Ajwad, Jeddah
Al Ajwad is in north eastern Jeddah east of the Haramain expressway, a planned district of villas and mid rise apartment buildings with shop frontages along Al Ajwad Street. The air here is drier than the coast and the dust is coarser and paler. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine.
- A full team, not one person
- Price agreed before we start
- Our own vacuums and materials
- Redone in the same visit
What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Ajwad
The air is drier and dust is coarser and paler than coastal areas, and it comes in under doors and settles on every surface overnight. For the method itself, see the full post-construction cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Dry air carries coarser dust particles
East Jeddah is far from the sea and the air is much drier. Dust here is coarser with larger grain than the coast, carrying small stones and sand particles from the ring roads and wadi banks. This heavy dust settles fast and does not disperse far.
-
The second reason
Grit scratches shiny floors and tiles
Small stones and sand from the ring roads and wadi channels mix with building dust. These grains scratch marble and glossy ceramic if they are mopped rather than swept first. Sweeping first is absolutely essential to protect the floor finish.
-
The third reason
Roof tank sediment leaves grey film
Roof tank water in east Jeddah carries sediment from ceramic and silt. This sediment leaves a grey film in basins and baths after the first rinsing. Rinsing must be long and thorough to clear all sediment completely.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Ajwad
Al Ajwad lies in north eastern Jeddah just east of the Haramain expressway, next to Al Samir and Al Manar, a planned residential grid of villas and mid rise apartment buildings with shop frontages, local landmarks including Salman Al Farisi Mosque and the Al Ajwad health centre.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Top-to-bottom suction needs greater power because building dust here is mixed with stones and sand grains from the surroundings.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster bits are scraped then rinsed with forceful water to clear all grit remaining on the surface.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and glossy ceramic need forceful rinsing and very rapid drying to prevent stains from sediment deposits.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter is scraped then rinsed forcefully to remove all stone and sediment traces trapped beneath.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and adhesive are removed carefully with strong water rinsing afterward to clear all residue.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Floors must be swept first with vigour to clear all grit, then washed with forceful water and given a long final rinse.

How the cleaning actually goes
-
1
Top down, never bottom up
We start at the ceiling, vents and the tops of everything, then work down.
-
2
Dry removal before any water
The fine powder is vacuumed and dry-collected first.
-
3
Glass, frames and tracks
Windows, mirrors and the sliding tracks are cleared of grit and sticker residue before the wet stage, so nothing muddy is dragged across them later.
-
4
Haze and specks off hard surfaces
Grout haze, paint spots and adhesive are worked off tile, stone and fixtures with the method each surface can take, tested before we commit to it.
-
5
Cabinets and drawers, inside and out
Every closed space is opened and cleared, because that is where settled dust hides until you reach for a plate months later.
-
6
Floors last, then a walkthrough
Floors are washed only after all the dust above has come down, then we walk the home with you and anything you point to is redone before we leave.

Why us for this service specifically
A full team arrives together
The company runs a large crew and we send a team, not a single cleaner.
The equipment is ours
The vacuums and materials come with the team, not rented on the day.
We say no when it is no
If a paint spot or cured cement mark cannot come off without risking the surface, we tell you at the inspection rather than damaging it to look busy.
From our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job is not closed before you sign off
The commitment is simple enough to actually keep: we do not leave before you have walked the home and told us what you think.
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 post-construction cleaning in Al Ajwad
Is building dust in Al Ajwad different from other parts of Jeddah?
Yes, dust here is coarser and paler and carries small stones and sand grains. Sweeping first before mopping is absolutely essential.
The marble is glossy, does your cleaning leave it shiny with no scratches?
Yes, sweeping first removes grit, and mopping is very careful afterward. Shiny floors need protection from grit after cleaning to stay unmarked.
Does roof tank sediment leave white marks in the basin and bath?
Yes, the first rinse leaves a grey film. Repeated and long rinsing removes all sediment completely.
The new porcelain is very shiny, does cleaning leave the tile shiny?
Yes, the natural shine remains. Careful sweeping and rinsing removes dirt without affecting the gloss.
When is the best time to clean the new villa in Al Ajwad?
Immediately after building work ends and before furniture arrives, ideally two or three days before occupation.
Is a flat above a shop different to clean than a standalone flat?
Yes, flats above shops may get cooking smells and grease. Extra rinsing and strong ventilation are important.
How soon after the work finishes should we book?
After the trades are fully done and no more dust-making work is left. Cleaning before the last sanding or cutting just means paying to do it twice.
How should I prepare before you come?
Clear away tools and leftover materials if you can, and let us know what stage the work reached.
How much does post-construction cleaning in Al Ajwad 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 Ajwad.
