We know builder's dust
This is not a heavier version of a normal clean.
Post-Construction Cleaning in Al Zuhour, Jeddah
Al Zuhour is a new development in Obhur Al Shamaliyah where land and housing stock are still being released and built. New villas here are surrounded by exposed ground and active construction sites in the adjacent plots. Sand and soil enter the house from every direction, construction work in neighbouring fields kicks up clouds of dust daily, and the brand new marble floors show every grain of sand and every footprint in stark relief.
- A full team, not one person

What changes about post-construction cleaning in Al Zuhour
New villas here are surrounded by vacant land and exposed fields, and sand and dust enter easily through open windows and doors, especially in the early morning and evening when winds are strongest. For the method itself, see our guide to post-construction cleaning.
-
The first reason
Ongoing construction in neighbouring plots raises clouds of dust daily
Al Zuhour is a district under construction, and the land and plots around it have active excavations and building projects releasing dust and sand constantly. This blows into the new villas through open windows and doors every day. The dust here is heavier and darker than in completed neighbourhoods, mixed with cement and sand from construction equipment moving constantly.
-
The second reason
Bare ground brings fine sand that scratches new marble floors easily
Fine sand from exposed ground around the villa enters on every footstep, and brand new polished marble shows every grain visibly. Sweeping before mopping is essential, and any sand left under foot will scratch new marble instantly. The sandy soil is also very loose, so it rises easily with any air movement and settles on all surfaces overnight.
-
The third reason
Open courtyards and gardens bring soil and loose growth into the house
Gardens in new villas are often bare earth or new turf, and soil and leaves blow into the house with wind. Glass and polished surfaces take on a grey coat of dust very quickly from the exposed ground around the building. Every day without vegetation adds to the dust load.
What post-construction cleaning covers in Al Zuhour
A subdivision of Obhur Al Shamaliyah in north Jeddah, part of a new urban tract where land and housing are still being released and built, served by main roads linking to the Jeddah Madinah Road.
-
Dust removed from the top down
Dust and sand from bare ground and ongoing construction fall from every direction; we begin at ceilings and high surfaces, working down with all windows and doors sealed during work to contain the sand flow.
-
Cement and plaster spots scraped
Cement residue mixed with field sand needs vigorous dry sweeping first, before any water is introduced, to remove all loose particles.
-
Haze off glass and ceramic
Glass and marble hold fine sand grains that leave scratches if wiped dry; we dry sweep first with very soft broom, then use clean water and soft cloth, with immediate drying.
-
Paint spatter removed
Paint spatter carries sand particles and needs careful dry removal to avoid grinding sand into the surface; we then rinse with clean water without harsh scrubbing.
-
Stickers and adhesive pulled off
Stickers and adhesive trap sand underneath and are removed before the full wash to avoid scattering loose grains.
-
Final floor wash and rinse
Large marble floors need vigorous dry sweeping first to remove all sand, then damp-sweeping to settle dust, then careful mopping with minimal water and rapid drying to prevent sand scratches under the mop head.

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 character of Al Zuhour
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
Ongoing construction in a new district means dust and sand blow in constantly, even after the initial clean. Early morning cleaning before daily construction activity peaks is most effective, and a follow-up inspection a day later often finds new dust requiring a second light clean before furnishing.
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 Zuhour
Does active construction on neighbouring plots affect the villa cleaning?
Yes, significantly. Dust from neighbouring construction enters the house easily. Timing the cleaning for early morning before the busiest construction hours helps, but work must be rapid and windows sealed, as ongoing activity will keep raising new dust.
Does sand really scratch new marble floors?
Yes, fine sand scratches marble instantly if you walk on it. Vigorous dry sweep first to remove all sand and grit, then you can safely mop. Any sand ground under a mop head damages the finish permanently.
When can I landscape the garden after the villa cleaning?
At least a week later. New soil, compost and fresh turf will bring sand and dust into the house again immediately. Delay allows the interior to settle and any remaining dust to show itself before major landscaping introduces fresh loads.
Do new marble floors need special care in this district?
Yes, new marble is very sensitive to sand scratch. Never use abrasive pads or harsh scrubbing. Gentle sweeping and clean water are enough, with immediate drying. The sealer on new marble is delicate for weeks.
Does garden irrigation water leave marks on new marble?
Yes, irrigation water carries minerals that leave rings and streaks. Use mains tap water or distilled water for final rinsing on marble, especially if hand-watering landscaping during the building period.
Is cleaning Al Zuhour harder than established neighbourhoods?
Yes, ongoing construction and exposed ground mean dust and sand enter constantly. You may need cleaning checks weekly in the first month before the neighbourhood settles and landscaping is complete, which will stabilise the environment.
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 Zuhour 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 Zuhour.
