Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Ruwais, Jeddah
Al Ruwais is an old district of central Jeddah near the Corniche, mixing older apartment blocks with newer buildings, where Hail Street has brought new life and development is ongoing. Central Jeddah is the old heart of the city, and 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 rugs and curtains take on the fine black dust of the main roads.

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Ruwais
Terrazzo and older ceramic tile blackens from cooking grease, and rugs hold fine black dust from the main roads, so they need washing more often than in quieter areas. For the method itself, see our guide to post-construction cleaning.
-
The first reason
Old terrazzo and ceramic floors are easily stained by cooking grease
Old homes in central Jeddah have terrazzo or ageing ceramic floors, worn smooth from long use. Cooking grease from kitchens and streets drifts up and deposits on the slick surface. Plain water spreads grease and does not remove it; it needs a strong degreaser solution.
-
The second reason
Old kitchens and bathrooms are clogged with accumulated scale
Older pipework in old blocks leaves rust marks in basins and on taps. Scale has built up on taps, grouting and drains over years. Removing this needs strong solution and vigorous rubbing to break through the deposit.
-
The third reason
Rugs and curtains collect fine black dust from main road traffic
Hail Street and the main roads around Al Ruwais carry heavy vehicle traffic. Fine black dust clings to rugs and curtains more than in side streets. Very strong suction is essential before any fabric is touched.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Ruwais
The district lies west of Madinah Road near the Corniche, bordering Al Hamra, Al Sharafiyah and West Baghdadiyah, with older blocks interspersed with new buildings and older quarters under redevelopment.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Black dust from main roads and accumulated grease enter from above; top-down removal begins at ceilings with strong suction for black dust.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement residue and old grease deposits on aged floors need strong solution and careful rubbing on older surfaces.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and old ceramic carry grease and dust film; haze removal requires degreaser solution and clear rinsing.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter is mixed with old grease; glossy surfaces need careful work to separate paint from the finish without grinding grease in.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and adhesive are removed gently from aged surfaces without cracking or damaging old finishes.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Floors are washed with warm water and degreaser, then rinsed multiple times and dried thoroughly.

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.

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.

The job is not closed before you sign off

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 Ruwais
Our terrazzo floor is old and smooth; can you clean it without damaging it?
Yes, old smooth terrazzo needs special care. We use a degreaser suitable for aged surfaces and a soft mop. Strong scrubbing may damage the worn, smooth surface.
The bathroom is twenty years old; will your cleaning remove all the scale?
Scale accumulated over years will be removed to a large extent using strong solution. Very deep scale may need specialist treatment or replacement of aged parts.
Grease from the flat below comes up into ours; does your cleaning protect us?
Our work removes grease present on surfaces. New grease from cooking below will return gradually, but our initial clean removes everything that accumulated during construction.
The rug absorbed black dust from the street; will it be cleaned?
Rugs present are moved to allow floor cleaning beneath. Strong suction removes most black dust. If the rug is heavily soiled, separate washing may be recommended.
The flat is in an old building; does it take longer to clean than a villa?
Yes, older buildings usually need more time because there are more details and heavier deposits. Flat size and number of bathrooms determine the actual time.
Do you clean inside kitchen cabinets and drawers?
Yes, empty cabinets and drawers are cleaned inside completely. If they hold items, we move them carefully, clean the space and return them.
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 Ruwais 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 Ruwais.
