We test before we wash
Testing the product on a hidden patch is a step we treat as necessary rather than optional.
Al Shifa is a developing district in south Jeddah beside the busy Makkah Jeddah Expressway, with new villas, apartments, multi-unit investment buildings and vacant plots. The location near the expressway means vehicle exhaust enters homes directly, and dust levels are higher than in inland districts.
Sofas in flats near the expressway get dirty quickly from vehicle fumes, and the smell lingers in the furniture even after opening windows for hours. For the method itself, see the full sofa and upholstery cleaning page.
The nearby expressway means car and truck exhaust enters homes rapidly. New sofa fabric absorbs odours and fine particles long before black dust becomes visible on the surface.
The area has not stabilised yet, so air carries both road dust and building dust together. Each type needs different treatment when washing.
New furniture in investment flats gets dirty quickly because of location, and early professional cleaning protects the investment from long-term damage.
Al Shifa's new location sits beside the congested Makkah Jeddah Expressway, surrounded by vacant land and ongoing construction, with side roads linking the district directly to the expressway itself.
Testing the fabric is essential because expressway pollutants may require strong solvents that do not suit all new fabric types.
Deep dry vacuuming must focus on removing fine road particles and oil deposits from vehicle exhaust trapped in the weave.
Washing the fabric requires additional treatment for odours from the expressway, making the process longer than in other areas.
Cushions trap expressway fumes more than the back of the sofa, so both faces must be vacuumed and washed together to remove the smell.
Stains from fumes and oily deposits are difficult to remove and need specialised chemical treatment before general washing.
Ventilation after washing is critical in an expressway zone. Trapped damp air may reactivate odours trapped in the fibres.
Cotton, velvet, chenille and synthetics do not take the same heat or the same product.
Before any water.
An oil mark is not treated like a juice mark.
We wash with the method that suits the fabric.
The piece is left slightly damp, never wet.
We go over the pieces with you before leaving.

The company employs more than forty cleaners, and we send a crew rather than an individual.
The washing and extraction machines are ours and travel with the crew.
If a piece needs reupholstering rather than washing, we say so.

The commitment is simple enough to be keepable: we do not leave until you have seen the result and given your view of it.
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
A new district near the expressway means new furniture receives heavy pollutants from both construction and traffic at once. Early protection is essential because new sofas absorb a polluted environment more rapidly than furniture in established areas.
We provide these in Al Shifa too, and more than one can share a single visit.
