Disinfection and sanitising in Al Mazloom, Jeddah
Al Mazlum is one of four historic quarters inside the walls of old Jeddah, with stone and timber buildings centuries old, and old architectural forms with low ceilings and narrow passages that trap moisture and germs. Wooden roshan screens and stone walls absorb water and salt, and ground seepage raises germ and fungal concentration. Disinfection reaches corners and cracks that hands cannot touch.
- Every handle and switch treated
- Fogging reaches every corner
- Safe for households with children
- No harsh residue left behind
Why surface wiping alone is not enough
A historic quarter in old Jeddah with stone and timber buildings centuries old, high moisture levels and narrow passages, mixing trade and residential housing.
-
After illness in the home
Old stone and timber buildings in Al Mazlum accumulate moisture and fungi much faster than modern construction, requiring specialist disinfection.
-
Before moving into a property
Narrow passages, low ceilings and stale air in old Jeddah create ideal conditions for germ and fungal growth and persistent odours.

What changes about disinfection and sanitising in Al Mazloom
Heritage buildings with absorptive stone walls accumulate moisture and fungi much faster than modern construction, needing specialist disinfection that preserves the old fabric. For the whole method, see the full disinfection and sanitising page.
-
The first reason
Deep moisture traps germs in the stone
Stone walls and old timber absorb water from ground seepage and damp air. Trapped moisture creates an ideal breeding ground for fungi and bacteria. Disinfection reaches deep cracks and stone surfaces to kill accumulated microbes.
-
The second reason
Narrow passages reduce ventilation and raise germ concentration
The old architectural form with tight passages and low ceilings provides poor ventilation. Stale air traps germs and odours. Disinfectant fog penetrates these tight spaces and reaches every corner.
-
The third reason
Mixed trade and residential traffic spreads diverse germs
Markets, shops and homes sit side by side with high foot traffic from visitors and residents. Germs spread easily in shared passages and mixed-use spaces. Regular disinfection protects residents and traders from infectious disease.
The character of Al Mazloom
Historic district: close-set buildings, narrow lanes and ageing services
Heritage buildings with absorbent stone and old timber need moderate, careful disinfection that preserves the historic fabric while killing accumulated germs and fungi.
What the home looks and feels like after
High-touch points treated throughout
Every handle, switch plate, tap, and countertop has received a contact spray that was left to dwell before the room was opened.
Rooms cleared and ventilated
Each fogged room is ventilated before the household returns.
Kitchen and bathroom surfaces sanitised
Wet areas receive a separate surface treatment with a food-safe disinfectant where required.

What is different about Central Jeddah
Central Jeddah is the densest part of the city. Around the historic core of Al Balad the streets are narrow, the blocks are old, and most buildings have shops at ground level with flats above, so stairwells open onto markets and workshops. The main arteries, Madinah Road, King Fahd Road and Palestine Street, carry the heaviest traffic in Jeddah, and their exhaust leaves a dark, greasy soot unlike the dry sand of the outskirts. Old render holds it, summer heat bakes it on, and restoration work in the old quarter adds stone dust.
Questions worth asking first
Stone walls are absorbent and sensitive, and very strong disinfectants may alter their colour. Disinfection uses moderate-strength solutions that kill germs and preserve the stone's natural surface and patina.
High moisture in heritage buildings encourages fungi to return. Regular disinfection every three months, combined with improved ventilation and drying, slows regrowth.
Disinfectant fog spreads through narrow passages and reaches corners and cracks. Targeted spray is used on surfaces, with mild doses that respect the heritage buildings.
Yes. Disinfecting heritage buildings kills the fungi and bacteria that cause odours. But high moisture may return smells if ventilation does not improve.
Yes. The crew disinfects shared spaces, passages, shops and homes on a unified plan. Disinfection is usually scheduled to minimise disruption to traders and residents.
Tri-annual or quarterly disinfection suits heritage buildings because of persistent moisture. Improving ventilation and drainage around the buildings reduces disinfection needs.
It is set after we see the job, because the price follows the kind of work, the size of the space, its condition and the time and materials it needs. Send a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Mazloom.
The time depends on the size of the property and how many rooms are fogged.
The household should leave the treated areas during fogging and dwell time.
