Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Gharbiyah, Jeddah
Al Gharbiyah is a new development in northern Jeddah sitting close to the Red Sea, where most villas are newly built on raised plots with wide windows and wide open views. Sea salt deposits on glass and metal frames daily, fine sand enters under doors and scratches marble and porcelain, and the dust from the empty plots and ongoing construction around it differs fundamentally from inland areas. Cleaning after construction here requires a different sequence.

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Gharbiyah
Sea air deposits a fine salt film on every glazed surface each day, and beach sand under doors and walkways scratches new marble and porcelain if mopped before sweeping. For the method itself, see the full post-construction cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Sea salt coats every glass surface and frame
Homes in Al Gharbiyah face the water, and salt from sea air settles on glazing, metal frames and outdoor fabrics. This salt dries to a film that dulls the shine, and ordinary washing leaves it behind. Removing it requires a gentle acid wash followed by a thorough freshwater rinse to clear it completely.
-
The second reason
Fine sand from the beach scratches marble floors
New villas here feature marble or porcelain, and beach sand blown under doors gets walked in daily. Mopping before sweeping scratches these polished surfaces. Sweeping and vacuum extraction must come first, then washing, never the reverse.
-
The third reason
Ongoing building on empty plots sends dust constantly
The district is still under construction with open plots and active excavation nearby. Dust and grit from neighbouring projects blow in daily, so a thorough cleaning today looks incomplete within days until the surrounding buildings are finished and the land settles.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Gharbiyah
A new coastal district where most plots were only recently released for building, mostly modern villas with several empty plots still awaiting construction and the coast close enough to make salt spray daily.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Dust arrives from the sea, from vacant plots and from neighbouring construction sites, so we start at roof level and the highest windows and work progressively downward.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster spots on new marble require careful scraping so the polish is not damaged during removal.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and ceramic here carry both sea salt and building dust; they are cleaned with a cutting solution and finished with fresh water.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter on marble and porcelain is gently scraped before final washing to avoid surface marking.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and adhesive residue on polished floors are removed carefully so no tacky film remains on the new surfaces.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Marble and porcelain floors are washed last, after thorough sweeping and extraction, so no sand remains to scratch them.

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 Gharbiyah
White salt deposit on glass and metal frames, can it be removed permanently?
Yes, but plain water and soap will not touch it. A gentle acid wash removes the salt, followed by a strong freshwater rinse to clear it completely. Salt will return after weeks due to sea air, but the initial removal is total.
Can beach sand scratch new marble and porcelain during cleaning?
Yes, it will if you mop before sweeping. Thorough sweeping first, then vacuum extraction, then washing is the only sequence that prevents scratching.
Outdoor curtains and screening collect salt and grit, do they stay in place?
Outdoor fabrics act as the first barrier to salt and sand. They are removed and washed separately in fresh water with a strong rinse, or their cleaning is arranged for after the building phase ends.
The front entrance and garden area, are these cleaned too?
Yes, but outdoor floors and grounds are swept and rinsed with water only. Interior cleaning is separate from exterior paving and landscaping areas.
Empty plots nearby are still being developed, will dust come back?
Yes, open ground and excavation send airborne dust daily. Cleaning today is clean, but within a week a fine new layer settles on glass and marble from neighbouring work.
Should I book before furniture arrives or after construction finishes?
Book at least a week before furniture enters. An empty house is far easier to work in, and you do not want upholstery and fabrics soaked in heavy rinsing on day one.
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 Gharbiyah 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 Gharbiyah.
