Curtain cleaning in Al Murqab, Riyadh

Al Murqab is an old popular district in central Riyadh, sitting on the bank of Wadi Al Batha just outside the walls of old Riyadh. The popular wholesale Al Murqab Market operates intensely all day, and flats above shops absorb odours and dust from constant trading. The district is old, and the buildings, rails and windows bear the marks of time and settled moisture.

Why curtains need proper cleaning

  • Cleaner air, fewer allergens

    Curtains hold the dust that lifts every time you open a window or run the AC.

  • Fabric treated by its type

    Velvet, sheer, blackout and cotton do not take the same water or heat, so we sort every piece before anything is cleaned.

  • We handle take-down and re-hang

    You do not climb, unhook or worry about getting the curtains back in order.

  • Pressed pleats, a tidy hang

    A clean curtain still looks wrong if it comes back creased or with its pleats collapsed.

Why the job is different in Al Murqab

The district throbs with activity all day from the market, people and goods. Flats above shops endure constant pressure from dust, odours and rising damp. The whole method is set out in our curtain cleaning guide.

  • The popular market is active and its pollutants are heavy

    Al Murqab Market is popular, old and intensely busy. Odours from goods, people and movement rise into the flats. Dust and soil from unceasing traffic embed in the fabric.

  • The district is old and moisture rises from the wadi

    Al Murqab sits on the bank of Wadi Al Batha. Night-time humidity from water and plants drifts up into the neighbourhood. Curtains absorb moisture that may cause mould and musty smells.

  • Buildings, rails and windows are very old

    The district is very old and the buildings show hard-water deposits and corrosion. Rails and tracks may be cracked or heavily rusted. Curtains hang in a deteriorating environment.

What's Included

An old popular district in central Riyadh on the bank of Wadi Al Batha, famous for the popular Al Murqab Market and a mosque on Suhail bin Al Samt Street, comprising tightly packed flats and shops.

  • Careful take-down, numbered

    Take-down is done with protection from rising dust from the market and the narrow street. The flat may be cramped and the stairwell very narrow and old.

  • Sorted by fabric type

    Sorting separates curtains by proximity to the market. Those closest need deeper washing because soiling is heaviest.

  • Wash or dry-clean by type

    Washing uses soft water and a stronger cleaner to lift embedded market odours and the heavy dust from constant trading.

  • Rails and tracks cleaned

    Rails and tracks may be heavily rusted and old. Careful cleaning and checking for cracks are essential. Replacement may be needed in the oldest flats.

  • Pressing and re-forming the pleats

    Pressing is done at moderate heat in a dry environment. Pleats are formed securely to resist the ambient damp.

  • Re-hung exactly where it was

    Re-hanging is done after checking rails again and ensuring secure fixing in the old, damp neighbourhood environment.

Landmarks of Al Murqab

Al Murqab centres on the popular Al Murqab Market and the mosque on Suhail bin Al Samt Street, both serving as geographic anchors in the old quarter. Wadi Al Batha to the south provides a clear boundary reference. Work is coordinated with each flat's or shop's position relative to the market and wadi, and the narrow lanes require careful planning for movement and take-down.

Questions before booking

The popular market is below the flat. Do odours really stick to the curtain?
Yes, the market is very active and odours are powerful. Long soaking with a strong natural cleaner helps, and drying in open air is essential.

Wadi Al Batha is close. Is the humidity higher here?
Yes, night-time humidity from the wadi affects the neighbourhood. Complete drying and good pressing prevent mould and damp smell.

The district is old and the buildings are old. May the rails be cracked?
Yes, old rails may be rusted or cracked. Take-down requires care and the rails may need repair or replacement in older flats.

Hard water in the old district: does it leave marks?
Yes, white deposits appear on light-coloured fabrics. Rinsing with soft water and fabric softener help reduce the staining.

Flat and shop together: how often should curtains be cleaned?
At least every season. The busy shop may require more frequent cleaning to manage accumulating odours and dust.

The district is old and popular. How do you handle damp and odour together?
Deep soaking, strong washing, thorough drying and good pressing. Each step matters in an old, damp neighbourhood.
