We know builder's dust
This is not a heavier version of a normal clean.
Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Shifa, Jeddah
Al Shifa is a developing district in south Jeddah where the new sits alongside the empty: fresh villas and apartments stand next to vacant plots still awaiting construction, all close to the Makkah Jeddah Expressway. The dust that settles on your new home comes not only from your own building work but from ongoing projects all around the neighbourhood. Cleaning here means understanding that your neighbours are building too, and the dust will return.
- A full team, not one person
- Price agreed before we start

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Shifa
Ongoing construction around the district means that fine dust returns within a week of cleaning, so a newly finished flat may need a second light clean once all neighbouring building projects have stopped. For the method itself, see how we approach post-construction cleaning.
-
The first reason
Building continues around and beside your home
Your new flat is surrounded by vacant plots and construction happening on one or both sides. Dust travels back quickly because building projects run for months. Wait until your neighbours finish their main construction before a final deep clean, or the dust will undo your work in days.
-
The second reason
Southern winds carry light soot from the expressway
The Makkah Jeddah Expressway lies near the district, and the southern air carries light diesel soot from truck traffic into the flats. It is not the heavy black soot of the coast, but it leaves a fine film on windows and high surfaces.
-
The third reason
Empty floors throw dust up with every movement
Unfurnished villas and flats with bare floors release dust easily on any movement. Sweeping and suction here need to be more careful and controlled than in a furnished home where soft furnishings dampen the air.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Shifa
Al Shifa is still growing, surrounded by empty land and continuous building activity, so dust drifts back from active neighbouring sites quickly.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Dust from neighbouring sites blows in with the wind, so we start from the top and work down. Doors and windows stay closed during work to prevent new dust entering.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster residue is heavier in a new district. Scraping needs patience, as fine dust rises easily back into the air with any disturbance.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass needs strong washing here because light dust adheres and leaves haze quickly. We wash twice and dry immediately.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter may lift easily from smooth surfaces, but corners and crevices need extra attention to reach dried residue.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and masking tape residue are removed gently to avoid leaving glue marks. A light solvent helps soften the adhesive first.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Floors are washed last. Fine building dust here needs warm water and immediate drying to prevent streaks forming.

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.

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
The commitment is simple enough to actually keep: we do not leave before you have walked the home and told us what you think.
The character of Al Shifa
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Mixed-use in Al Shifa means the new flat is surrounded by vacant plots and active building sites, so the home needs protection from continuous external dust as much as from its own construction.
Questions about post-construction cleaning in Al Shifa
The district is new and building continues around me, when should I book?
Wait until the building projects immediately adjacent finish their main work. Cleaning now means dust will resettle inside within days. A light cleaning after your neighbours finish their construction is better timing.
My floor is glossy porcelain, will your sweeping equipment scratch it?
No. We use soft brushes only and powerful suction. Fine grit is the only threat to porcelain, so we suction it first before any wet cleaning touches the tiles.
My flat sits beside a vacant plot, does dust blow in every day?
Yes. Empty land means exposed air, so dust from the neighbourhood and the expressway enters easily. Without furniture to break the air currents, it settles on every surface quickly.
My new villa is completely bare, how many days for a full clean?
A three bedroom villa takes two full days. A larger or more complex villa may take three. New districts mean harder work because dust is heavier in every corner.
The flat above mine is still under construction, does that affect me?
Yes. Dust and activity from above create extra debris indoors. Coordinating with your upstairs neighbour about when you start cleaning helps reduce the disruption.
Will dust from the neighbouring building site return within a week?
Yes, if that project is still active. Cleaning now is an initial clean, and the final deep clean should wait until all building around your home is complete.
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 Shifa 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 Shifa.
