Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Shorouq, Jeddah
Al Shorouq is a modern mixed district in east Jeddah between the Haramain Road and Palestine Road, with apartments, villas and street level shops in a dry location far from the sea. The dust here is coarser and paler than on the coast, and it settles fast on every surface, carrying heavy grit particles that scratch floors when mopped without sweeping first.

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Shorouq
The grit and coarse dust in Al Shorouq leaves grey sediment on tile and marble, and regular cleaning lifts it but water alone does not remove it entirely without a final rinse. For the method itself, see the full post-construction cleaning page.
-
The first reason
Coarse dust needs sweeping before any water
The dry, coarse dust of Al Shorouq carries fine grit, and if we mop the floors at once they scratch. We sweep hard first then suction the grit before any water touches the surface.
-
The second reason
Roof tank sediment leaves a film on everything
Water from new roof tanks leaves mineral deposits on baths, basins and even floors. We need special cleaning to remove the grey sediment film that ordinary soap cannot lift.
-
The third reason
Apartments and villas in the same district need different care
Villas have marble floors and gardens, apartments have tile floors and often sit above shops. Marble cleans differently from ceramic because of texture, and flats over shops are always harder.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Shorouq
The dry east location far from the sea means coarser, lighter dust that slides under doors and settles on floors and furnishings quickly. Roof tank water leaves mineral deposits on every wet surface.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Coarse dust in Al Shorouq trails across floors, so we start from high surfaces with strong suction and sweep the floors before any water is introduced.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement and plaster residue from the new building sites scratches ceramic, so we scrape it carefully and suction all dust before the first wet wash.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and ceramic in Al Shorouq collect sediment from roof water and coarse dust, so we clean them with solvent and soft water after sweeping.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter from building work leaves dark marks on light ceramic floors, which we remove with solvent before the final water wash.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers on floors and doors come off easily after sweeping and suction, and any remaining adhesive residue is removed with mild solvent.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Ceramic and marble floors need a final rinse with fresh water to clear all sediment and fine grit before drying, otherwise the film returns.

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 East Jeddah
East Jeddah lies furthest from the sea and closest to the open ground and hills beyond the ring roads, so the air is drier and the dust is coarser and paler than on the coast. It comes in under doors and settles on every flat surface overnight, making sofas, mattresses and curtains the heaviest part of the routine. Floors are mostly ceramic tile in the apartment districts and marble in the villa areas, both scratched by grit that is mopped rather than swept. Roof tank water leaves a grey film of sediment in baths and basins.
Questions about post-construction cleaning in Al Shorouq
The ceramic floors are glossy and coarse dust scratches them, how do we sweep safely?
We sweep with a soft brush first, then suction the fine grit before mopping. Water alone does not remove the grit, so the first sweep is essential.
The marble in the villas looks dark under a film of mineral water deposits, will cleaning lighten it?
The grey film from roof water sediment comes off with thorough cleaning. If the marble looks dark by nature, that is the colour of the stone, not dirt.
Building is still happening around the district, should we wait or start cleaning now?
If building is near your home you can start now, but you may need a second clean after building finishes completely in the district.
The flat is above a shop, are we affected by dust and smoke from below?
Yes, smoke and grease rise up into the flat. We start from the top and seal the flat once we begin, then sweep before mopping to avoid scratching the ceramic.
Do the drains and bathrooms need special cleaning to remove sediment deposits?
Yes, hard water deposits leave white traces on every wet surface. We use a mild acid solvent to remove them from basins and pipes safely.
The floors are empty with no furniture, will cleaning take longer than a furnished home?
No, the opposite is true. An empty home is much faster because we do not move things or protect furniture, so we focus on the floors and corners thoroughly.
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 Shorouq 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 Shorouq.
