Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Disinfection and sanitisation in Al Noor, Riyadh
Al Noor combines shops and flats in the same buildings, so passages, lifts and stairs are shared by residents, staff and visitors throughout the day. Disinfection here starts with the high-contact points in shared areas before treating each flat and shop separately, because the flow of people is constant.
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 Noor
Shared lifts and passages in Al Noor see steady use from residents, staff and shoppers, so soiling builds on door handles and buttons faster than in purely residential districts. The whole method is set out in our disinfection and sanitisation guide.
-
Shared passages and lifts need separate disinfection
The communal areas in Al Noor collect germs from residents, staff and customers every day. These are disinfected first and separately from the flats and shops, because continuous foot traffic recontaminates them quickly.
-
Lift buttons and door handles are critical points
In a mixed-use building, dozens of people touch the same buttons and handles daily. Concentrating disinfection on these high-contact surfaces before treating others breaks the chain of transmission between shoppers, residents and staff.
-
Shops and flats run on different schedules
A shop closes and opens several times daily, while a flat on different hours. Disinfection timing in Al Noor respects the different closing times for each space and does not force both to be treated together.
What's Included
Mixed-use buildings in Al Noor have shops on ground floors and residential flats above them, with passages, stairs and lifts shared throughout the day by residents, shop staff and customers.
-
Cleaned before disinfecting
Before disinfecting Al Noor's shared areas, visible dust and soiling are cleaned away because dirty surfaces do not absorb disinfectant effectively.
-
High-touch points
Lift buttons, door handles and stair rails throughout Al Noor are among the building's highest-contact surfaces, touched by residents, staff and customers all day.
-
Fogging the open areas
Long passages and hallways in Al Noor's buildings need fogging or systematic spray disinfection to reach every surface in the open areas consistently.
-
Contact time respected
The disinfectant stays on Al Noor's surfaces long enough to work, and that contact time varies by surface type and the product in use.
-
Ventilated before re-entry
After disinfection at Al Noor, windows and doors are opened to ventilate the buildings before residents, staff and shoppers return.
-
The product used, recorded
We record the disinfectant type, application time and date for Al Noor so residents and staff know what was treated and when.
The character of Al Noor
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
In mixed Al Noor, shared passages and lifts are disinfected first because they are the channel carrying contamination between shops and flats. Each shop and flat follows its own schedule based on opening hours, not treated in one batch.
