Why the handover clean is different from a regular deep clean

What changes about move in and move out cleaning in Al Balad

Flats and hotels in old Al Balad carry smells and dust accumulated from intensive commerce and dense living in an extremely tight urban fabric. For the whole method, see our move in and move out cleaning service.

The first reason
Historic materials are fragile and need extremely careful handling

Al Balad is a historic quarter with very old coral stone and ancient wood, fragile historic surfaces throughout. Cleaning must be extremely careful to avoid damaging these ancient materials. Hot water and abrasive products can harm the stone and wood, so cleaning requires specialist skill and knowledge of historic preservation.
The second reason
Dense popular souqs generate complex layered odours and dust

Souq Al Alawi and Souq Al Badu around Bab Makkah and Bab Sharif are extremely busy popular markets generating multiple layers of dust and odours from spices, oils, smoke and crowds. Flats and hotels overlooking them absorb these odours readily and deeply into old porous materials.
The third reason
Narrow passages and shared open stairwells trap dust and moisture

The extremely tight urban fabric of Al Balad has very narrow lanes and open shared stairwells. This traps dust and moisture easily. Poor ventilation in narrow spaces means humidity and odours remain trapped in narrow corners and passages for longer.

Questions worth asking first

Does your cleaning respect the very old stone and wood in Al Balad?

Yes, cleaning uses products safe for old stone and historic wood. No harsh abrasive products are used that could damage these fragile surfaces.

Will souq odours return quickly after cleaning if markets stay open?
