Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Faisaliyah, Jeddah
Al Faisaliyah is an established central Jeddah neighbourhood of dense apartment blocks and villas bounded by King Fahd Road and surrounding main arteries. Building dust sticks to old, smooth terrazzo and worn ceramic from decades of footfall. Older kitchens and bathrooms carry heavy limescale, and floors become dangerously slippery once wet. Cleaning here is careful, not fast.
- A full team, not one person

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
Apartments in dense buildings share old pipework and ducts, and dust behaves differently here than in new villas. Old terrazzo floors become dangerously slippery when wet and show scratches easily in the light. For the method itself, see our guide to post-construction cleaning.
-
The first reason
Ancient terrazzo is smooth and cannot tolerate sharp scrapers
Al Faisaliyah has terrazzo from the 1960s and 70s, polished smooth by decades of footfall. A sharp scraper will scratch it irreparably. The tool must be soft, the hand very careful, and the approach entirely different from new porcelain.
-
The second reason
Old bathrooms carry deep limescale from hard water
Jeddah's hard water leaves thick white deposits on taps, basins and water heaters. The buildup is decades old and will not shift with scrubbing. It needs gentle acid, patience and time, not force.
-
The third reason
Corroded old pipework leaves rust stains in sinks that plain water will not touch
Old copper piping inside walls corrodes from within, and seeps rust into ceramic basins and kitchen sinks as orange or brown marks. Scrubbing spreads them. They need specialist rust remover that is safe on ceramic.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Faisaliyah
An older central district with dense apartment buildings and villas mixed with retail, crossed by King Fahd Road and flanked by Prince Majid and Madinah Roads. A hospital and university campus are among its landmarks, with continuous vehicle traffic.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Dust sticks hard to old terrazzo, so we start from the ceiling with strong suction and avoid any rubbing that might lodge dust into the finish and polish.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster fragments on terrazzo come off with only soft scrapers or wood, removed carefully because scratches on aged surfaces show instantly in the light.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and old ceramic tile need repeated gentle washing, never high pressure, which can leave streaks and film on the worn, smooth surfaces.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter on old surfaces is removed with very soft brushes and mild acid only, always tested on a hidden area of terrazzo first in case the finish is fragile.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and adhesive on old floors come off slowly with gentle heat and plant solvents, never with hard pulling that would mark the smooth aged surface.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Floors are washed last with cool water and very long rinsing, then dried thoroughly with towels before we leave, because excess moisture makes terrazzo treacherously slippery.

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 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 post-construction cleaning in Al Faisaliyah
Our terrazzo is very old and smooth. Is it safe to clean?
Very old terrazzo is delicate and glossy. We vacuum first, then use only soft brushes, never metal scrapers. Cool water and long rinsing only, and we dry thoroughly to prevent slipping.
The bathroom has thick white deposits on everything. Will they come off?
Limescale from decades of hard water will not shift with plain water. We use very gentle acid, let it work, then rinse thoroughly. We do not scour hard because that damages the taps and fixtures.
The basin has rust marks from the old pipes inside the wall. Can you remove them?
Rust from corroded pipework leaves stains that normal washing will not remove. We use a rust-specific solvent that is safe on ceramic, apply it carefully, and give it time to work.
The new flat is right on King Fahd Road. Does traffic dust enter easily?
King Fahd Road is busy and fast. Traffic dust enters, so we focus extra cleaning on windows and vents. We wash them more than once to ensure they stay clear.
The villa is old with a small, narrow courtyard. Any special care needed?
Small tight courtyards collect dirt, leaves and debris. We clean them, but use soft brushing and cool water only, never high pressure that might drive water into the floor.
How long does it take to clean an old flat in a block in Al Faisaliyah?
An older, medium-sized flat with limescale and rust marks needs six to eight hours. Larger or deeply scaled flats may need longer. Each one is different; condition determines time.
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 Faisaliyah 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 Faisaliyah.
