Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Disinfection and sanitisation in Al Misfat, Riyadh
Al Misfat is an industrial district surrounding the Riyadh Refinery and Aramco industrial facilities, holding workshops, warehouses and loading yards with limited worker housing. Industrial pollutants are very heavy: fumes, odours, metal dust and oils enter homes directly. Disinfection must be strong and deep to handle these heavy contaminants.
Why disinfecting is separate from cleaning
-

Places people share
Clinics, schools and shared offices see many different people in a single day.
-

After illness at home
When someone in the household has been ill, what they leave on shared surfaces lingers for days.
-

Kitchens and food areas
Surfaces where food is prepared need a sanitiser that is safe for food contact and leaves nothing behind.
-

Before moving into a home
Before you move into a flat someone else lived in, you cannot know what they left on the surfaces and in the bathrooms.
Why the job is different in Al Misfat
Residents in Al Misfat are mostly workers employed at the refinery and industrial facilities who share passages and common areas and carry workplace pollutants into their homes daily. The whole method is set out in our notes on disinfection and sanitisation.
-
Heavy industrial pollutants and continuous fumes
The Riyadh Refinery releases industrial fumes and odours, and surrounding facilities bring metal, grease and oil pollutants. These contaminants enter homes and passages constantly and are never fully cleared.
-
Limited housing and focus on productivity
Limited housing means workers live very close together, and medical and educational services are sparse. Disinfection must prioritise health because basic services are weak.
-
Special industrial environment needs different standards
Al Misfat is a unique environment with heavy pollutants not found anywhere else in the city. Disinfection needs dedicated products and higher concentrations than ordinary residential areas.
What's Included
Al Misfat is surrounded entirely by the Riyadh Refinery and Aramco industrial plants, and industrial pollutants, fumes and odours are present continuously in the air and on all surfaces.
-
Cleaned before disinfecting
Before disinfecting homes and passages, we deep clean with strong industrial cleaners to remove oils, fumes and heavy industrial pollutants completely.
-
High-touch points
Door handles, windows and railings in passages and shared areas receive focused treatment because workers touch them with hands wet from oils and sweat.
-
Fogging the open areas
Passages and shared spaces are fogged with strong disinfectant reaching corners and angles fully.
-
Contact time respected
Disinfectant is allowed long contact time on surfaces coated with oils and industrial fumes.
-
Ventilated before re-entry
After treatment we ventilate homes and passages strongly so they dry completely and all industrial fumes and odours clear.
-
The product used, recorded
We record which disinfectant and industrial cleaner were used, as heavy pollution may require specially selected products.
The character of Al Misfat
Industrial area: workshops, warehouses and loading yards
The industrial zone surrounding the refinery means pollutants are very heavy, deep and embedded in surfaces, furnishings and fumes are suspended in the air. Disinfection must follow exceptionally strong industrial cleaning and may require higher standards and concentrations than any other residential area in the city.
