Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Building facade cleaning in Rimah
Rimah is a small governorate town northeast of Riyadh functioning as a local admin and service centre with a hospital, central market, college campus and villa neighbourhoods around the service buildings. Buildings are relatively modern set within open desert and the dust is fine and mineral. Extreme temperature swings, harsh dryness and seasonal winds bring mineral laden dust that oxidises metal and dulls glass.
Why a facade needs regular cleaning
-

The surface is protected
The wrong product costs more than the dirt it removes.
-

Access decided on site
We do not pick the access method from an office.
-

Glass stays clear
Calcium scale on glass turns into permanent etching if it is left.
-

The building keeps running
We plan the access and the working hours around how the building is used through the day, and we protect the ground, the entrances and anyone passing below.
Why the job is different in Rimah
Seasonal winds bring extremely fine dust and heavy minerals from the desert, and day night temperature swings create powerful air movement that forces particles hard onto facade surfaces. The whole method is set out in our building facade cleaning guide.
-
Fine desert dust and heavy mineral deposits
Seasonal winds from the desert carry very fine dust and heavy minerals that do not polish away. Mineral particles scratch glass and polished surfaces and leave a dull metallic film. Cleaning needs specialist products that dissolve minerals before any rubbing.
-
Extreme temperature variation and aridity
Swings between scorching days and cool nights cause rapid expansion and contraction in facades. This wedges salt and minerals into fine glass cracks and stone pores, and removal must be cautious or the scratching worsens.
-
Scattered residential and commercial buildings with open space
Villas and service buildings sit dispersed with wide open desert between them, allowing relatively easier access. Anchor points on modern buildings are secure and roofs bear equipment weight without risk.
What's Included
The town sits at the desert edge on very dry ground, service buildings and residential quarters surrounded by open land with no natural wind break from the Saharan dust.
-
Roof survey and anchor points
Roof survey in a desert town requires understanding modern construction and open space and wind patterns, with secure anchor point evaluation on modern service buildings and residential quarters.
-
Access chosen: rope or powered
Access easily chooses between rope and powered lift because buildings are scattered with open space available. Absence of nearby adjacent buildings allows unrestricted lift and rope work.
-
A test patch before the whole elevation
Test patches on mineral products are essential because compressed salt and minerals may react unpredictably to cleaners in extreme heat.
-
Glass and curtain walling
Glass may bear heavy mineral film needing specialist products and very light rubbing with protective coating applied after washing.
-
Cladding and stone, pH-neutral
Modern cladding and stone tolerate firmer treatment, but salt and minerals wedged in fine cracks need pH neutral products and careful rubbing to avoid additional scratching.
-
Ground and passers-by protected
Ground and passers by are easily protected because buildings are scattered and open space is wide. Water and cleaner runoff flows away from service and residential areas without concern.

What is different about Riyadh Region
Riyadh Region covers the central Najd plateau from the capital out to Al Kharj, Al Majma'ah, Al Zulfi, Dawadmi, Al Quwaiiyah and Wadi Al Dawasir. The climate is dry, with fierce summer heat, cool winters and spring dust storms carried off the Dahna sands to the east and the Nafud beyond Al Zulfi. The capital's glass towers and cladding sit alongside stone and marble villas, mosques and government buildings in the towns, with farms and palm groves around Al Kharj and the southern wadis. Fine dust abrades polished floors, and the hard groundwater leaves stubborn spotting on glass and stone.
