Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Fanar, Jeddah
Al Fanar is a new district emerging along Obhur Bay between vacant plots and ongoing construction works, where building dust mixes with fine sea sand and salt in the air. After the asphalting and new roads, the villas and flats need thorough cleaning that removes salt haze from glass and grit from every corner, leaving no trace of the coast's mineral deposits.

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Fanar
Sea breeze carries fine salt crystals that settle on every window and external frame during the first week a family moves into a new home in the area. For the method itself, see our post-construction cleaning service in detail.
-
The first reason
Salt film on glass, frames and metal surfaces
Coastal air deposits a thin salt layer on all glass and metal window frames that ordinary wiping cannot remove. Plain freshwater spreads the salt instead of lifting it. The correct technique shampoos glass and dries it carefully to prevent salt residue under the light.
-
The second reason
Fine sand from vacant plots surrounding new homes
Empty land around new build homes releases a powder-fine sand that enters the house with every footstep and settles deep in corners and on stairs. Coastal sand is lighter and finer than road dust, requiring strong suction before any mopping begins.
-
The third reason
Chalky rings left by sprinkler spray on tiles
Gardens and courtyards in the district mean spray irrigation, which dries to white mineral rings on marble and ceramic. Lime scale rings cannot be removed by water alone and need careful scraping to preserve the finish.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Fanar
A district within the Obhur Al Shamaliyah subdivisions where new residential streets have been paved and lit as a key artery, with homes adjoining Obhur Bay directly.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Coastal dust is finer than road dust and requires strong suction and full ventilation from top to bottom to avoid re-depositing salt onto the windows as we work through the rooms.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster debris is rare in new built villas in Al Fanar because construction was well managed, but door frames and window edges carry small deposits we scrape away carefully.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and ceramic surfaces need salt removed first before a final dry wipe, and metal frames are polished dry to prevent moisture that would attract fresh salt deposits overnight.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter is uncommon in new homes, but door edges and external frames need close inspection as builders use protective tape; small flecks on marble are scraped gently to preserve the surface shine.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers left by contractors and workers on doors and glass are removed dry, and adhesive residue on new floors is lifted carefully without scratching the high gloss finish of new surfaces.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Marble and porcelain floors after salt and dust removal are washed, rinsed thoroughly and dried completely to prevent salt crystals forming white spots under artificial light.

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 North Jeddah
North Jeddah is largely newer villa districts and compounds around Obhur and inland from it. Homes here tend to have marble or porcelain floors, large windows and a garden or courtyard, so the routine is set by what comes in from outside: fine sand carried on sandals, and sprinkler spray that dries to a chalky ring on tiles. Near the creek and the coast, sea air leaves a faint salt film on glass and on outdoor cushions, which stiffens fabric. Curtains and upholstery in these open plan rooms catch the dust that settles overnight.
Questions about post-construction cleaning in Al Fanar
Do you remove construction debris from the garden and courtyard?
We clear the hard surfaces of the courtyard, grit and building dust, then sweep and clean the paved areas and pathways. Cleaning planted soil and vegetation immediately after building work falls outside our scope. Gates, stepping stones and the entrance patio are ours to finish.
Will plain water remove the salt haze from the windows?
Tap water alone spreads salt rather than removes it. We use a rinsing technique that lifts salt deposits from glass and metal surfaces before the salt dries and sets into the pores.
How soon after construction ends should I book the cleaning?
Book within one or two days of the final building work and plumbing tests, before furniture arrives or curtains are hung. Waiting allows dust and salt to settle deeper into fabrics and textures.
Sand enters the house every day, will your cleaning stop that?
Our cleaning removes what has settled during the building phase. Sand that enters your home every day after you move in is routine housekeeping. We give you a clean baseline to start from.
Do you clean inside the air conditioning vents and fan motors?
We rinse the surface openings of fans and exposed units from dust and salt spray. Sealed air conditioning units need specialist attention from a cooling technician once the district construction is complete.
Should we clean the courtyard first or the inside of the house?
The courtyard and entrance go first, so no fresh sand enters while we work indoors. In one visit, we finish the paved areas and entry before moving to bedrooms and living spaces.
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 Fanar 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 Fanar.
