Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Disinfection and sanitisation in Al Salihiyah, Riyadh
Al Salihiyah is an old central Riyadh quarter, an apartment district dominated by residential blocks with repeated floors and shared entrances. The dense older neighbourhood means contamination spreads fast from flat to flat through shared passages and lifts. Old pipes and tiled surfaces hold moisture and pollutants, making disinfection deeper and longer.
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 Salihiyah
This dense neighbourhood houses large numbers of residents in a limited space, and shared passages and lifts see continuous foot traffic from occupants all day. The whole method is set out in our full account of disinfection and sanitisation.
-
Very old buildings and failing pipes
Al Salihiyah is very old indeed with aging structures and failing pipes and cracks in walls. Moisture seeps from pipes and settles in passages and corners, making disinfection deeper and longer than normal.
-
Very high density in a small area
The neighbourhood is very dense and apartment blocks are tightly packed, and shared passages and lifts carry constant traffic from dozens of families daily.
-
Location in central Riyadh with heavy traffic
Central Riyadh sees intense commercial and vehicle traffic, and car exhaust enters flats and passages through windows and openings.
What's Included
Al Salihiyah sits within the dense older urban fabric of central Riyadh's historic core, and its old buildings and narrow streets trap moisture and heat.
-
Cleaned before disinfecting
Before disinfecting, we deep clean stairwells, passages and lifts to remove accumulated moisture, dirt and fungi.
-
High-touch points
Door handles, lift panels and railings in passages receive focused attention because residents touch them daily.
-
Fogging the open areas
Wide passages and shared spaces are fogged to reach every corner and angle and crack in the old fabric.
-
Contact time respected
Disinfectant is allowed extended contact time on damp and old surfaces surrounded by moisture.
-
Ventilated before re-entry
After treatment we leave passages open to air for extended periods to dry completely, especially in stairwells.
-
The product used, recorded
We record which disinfectant was used and select products that inhibit fungal growth, as constant moisture naturally encourages it.
The character of Al Salihiyah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
An apartment district means residential blocks with shared passages and lifts that carry continuous resident traffic. Contamination travels easily from flat to flat through these shared spaces, so disinfection must be regular and coordinated.
