Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Salmiyah, Jeddah
Al Salmiyah is a densely packed apartment district in central Jeddah where residential blocks stand shoulder to shoulder. Construction dust travels easily between flats through shared entrances and narrow landing corridors, settling in tight corners and high ledges. Cleaning here starts at the top floor and works down, and must carefully seal the shared passages before entering the flat, so dust does not return from neighbouring units.

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Salmiyah
Closely stacked flats mean construction dust spreads rapidly through shared passages. Cleaning must take care not to transfer dust between units, or the work undoes itself across several homes at once. For the method itself, see how we approach post-construction cleaning.
-
The first reason
Shared passages and stairwells trap dust from multiple flats
In densely packed blocks, shared landings and stairs collect construction dust from several flats simultaneously. Cleaning them first stops dust returning to your flat after cleaning inside. Strong extraction equipment in the passages is essential before moving into the flat itself, or settling dust will migrate back indoors from neighbouring units.
-
The second reason
Tight corners and edges between rooms and the landing
Stacked flats leave very narrow angles where ceilings meet walls and where doors frame the openings. Dust accumulates deep in these gaps and cannot be wiped clean. Detailed scraping of edges requires thin tools and careful technique in confined spaces.
-
The third reason
Temporary and part-furnished flats complicate the job
Most flats in Al Salmiyah contain temporary or partial furniture during construction. Limited floor space means furniture moves during cleaning, and the work must proceed carefully so dust does not resettle on surfaces you have just cleaned.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Salmiyah
Mid-rise residential buildings stand tightly packed together; shared entrances and landings are narrow and cramped, and air circulation between flats is restricted. Building dust accumulates fast in shared passages and stairwells.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Ceilings and high edges in small flats trap dust in tight corners; cleaning from the top begins with strong suction followed by careful scraping to dislodge settled powder.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster residue builds up around doors, windows and corners; scraping must be precise to avoid scratching newly finished surfaces in tightly arranged rooms.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass, windows and metal frames collect building dust and salt from shared passages; specialist solutions remove the haze without streaking the new glass.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter lands on narrow floors and balconies; careful scraping removes it before water washing, so it does not spread across the cleaned surface.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers on doors and windows and adhesive residue must be removed gently to preserve the fresh paint underneath in compact flat layouts.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Narrow floors and shared passages need repeated washing because dust returns from the common landing; final rinsing requires strong ventilation to dry the wet surface quickly.

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.

Questions about post-construction cleaning in Al Salmiyah
The shared landing has dust from flats on either side of mine; do you clean that?
We clean only the shared passage directly adjacent to your flat door. Passages serving other units are the responsibility of those residents. However, cleaning your landing first stops dust entering your flat again after we have finished cleaning inside.
Should we clean before or after removing temporary furniture from the flat?
Ideally we clean after all temporary furniture is removed. If it must remain, we cover it in plastic sheeting before cleaning ceilings and walls. This protects the furniture from dust resettling on it during the work.
The flat has an internal door opening onto the landing; does dust travel through it?
Yes, an internal door allows dust to flow from the passage into the flat. We seal it tightly while cleaning the landing, then clean it afterwards so dust does not fall onto the newly cleaned floor. This requires careful sequencing of each step.
The flat is small and the angles between door frames and the ceiling are very tight; can you reach them?
Tight angles around doors and windows need very thin scraping tools. We can reach them but it takes longer than in a larger flat. These fine details are what separates adequate cleaning from thorough work.
The flat is next to the cooker or oven; does the heat affect the cleaning?
Heat from the cooker does not directly affect cleaning, but hot air currents can make dust cling more. We ensure the cooker is off and open windows for ventilation while the work proceeds, so dust does not circulate as easily.
Does your cleaning include internal doors and their metal frames?
Yes, internal doors, frames, and hinges are all cleaned. Dust gathers heavily around hinges and metal edges, and gentle scraping removes it without scratching fresh paintwork.
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 Salmiyah 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 Salmiyah.
