Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Building facade cleaning in Turubah
Turubah is a border town southeast of Makkah, set below a mountain and across a valley, its stone buildings scattered across farmland. Fine dust from the plains and very hard local groundwater leave white deposits that are notoriously stubborn on every exposed face.
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 Turubah
Daytime heat and night cold mean cleaning dries fast. Cleaners dry quickly before they work, so we need special techniques. The whole method is set out in our notes on building facade cleaning.
-
Hard groundwater leaves permanent white crust
Local wells supply farms and houses with water very high in calcium and minerals. Using this water to rinse produces stubborn white stains on stone and glass that will not polish off. We must source soft water or treat it on site.
-
Fine dust bonds quickly in intense heat
Extreme dryness and temperature make wet surfaces dry very fast. Fine dust bonds to moisture before it evaporates fully, forming a layer hard to lift. Cleaning requires wind protection and speed.
-
Scattered villas need special logistical planning
Homes and farms spread over long distances across the area. Equipment, water, and crews need exact coordination to avoid wasted time and resources between sites.
What's Included
The town sits in a valley on the border of two climate zones, receiving fine Najd dust from the east and occasionally Hijaz humidity from the west. The local groundwater is very mineral-rich.
-
Roof survey and anchor points
Scattered villas may sit at different heights and lack conventional roofs. Each site needs its own survey before planning access.
-
Access chosen: rope or powered
Mobile lifts may not reach remote villas. Ropes and platforms are the default, supported by heavy ground equipment.
-
A test patch before the whole elevation
A small test patch on the villa side reveals stone and mortar sensitivity to acids and cleaners.
-
Glass and curtain walling
Glass may be clouded by old mineral staining. Deep rinsing and fast drying are essential.
-
Cladding and stone, pH-neutral
Stone and cladding require soft water for final rinse. Local groundwater is never acceptable for the final stages.
-
Ground and passers-by protected
Gardens and planted areas around villas need water and cleaner protection. Isolated villas lack close neighbours but soil and plantings still need shielding.

The character of Turubah
Rural area: farms, open ground and scattered homes
Rural means villas stand alone and farm buildings are spread far apart. Roads may be narrow or sand-based, and distances between sites are long. We need strong logistical planning and small mobile crews.
