Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Factory and warehouse cleaning in Makkal, Riyadh
Makkal is a small quarter in south-central Riyadh between King Faisal and King Abdulaziz Roads, filled with mid-rise residential buildings that are decades old and often house small warehouses and workshops inside them. This long building history means floors may be cracked or uneven, so cleaning them is different from working in purpose-built modern storage.
Why a scheduled clean pays off
-
Less unplanned machine downtime
Dust that builds up on machinery works into bearings and moving parts and brings failures forward.
-
Lower fire risk overhead
The layer of dust and oil that gathers on high gantries and pipework is a real fire load sitting above your people.
-
A floor that takes heavy traffic
Warehouse floors pick up forklift tyre marks and spilt oil that ordinary mopping only smears around.
-
Cleaner stock and easier stock-takes
Dust that settles on high racking drifts down onto the cartons and goods stored beneath it.
Why the job is different in Makkal
Makkal's warehouses occupy basement and older ground-floor levels of decade-old buildings, so cracks, seasonal moisture and dust that settles deep in fissures are common problems. The whole method is set out in our full account of factory and warehouse cleaning.
-
Old buildings with cracked foundations
Makkal's decades-old buildings have foundations fissured over time, so industrial dust and dirt do not sit on the surface but settle into deep cracks. Cleaning requires an extra step to vacuum dust from inside the fissures before the floor wash itself.
-
Mixed warehouses and small workshops
Makkal's storage shares buildings with residential flats and sometimes small workshops, so metal scraps or heavy oils may lie alongside dry dust, needing a sorting pass before cleaning starts.
-
Deep, settled moisture locked in old foundations
Foundations in Makkal are decades old and hold deep, settled moisture mixed with mineral salt. The approach is not to strip the moisture but to seal its effects on the floor so dampness does not creep back quickly.
What's Included
Makkal sits in the heart of the old Al Dahu linear cluster, near the General Court and Riyadh Municipality, and this proximity to government centres has made it a zone of small warehouses and workshops serving surrounding commercial activity.
-
Machine floor scrubbing
Old Makkal warehouses have deep cracks that trap dust, so we vacuum inside fissures first before the general floor wash.
-
Racking and high shelving
Settled moisture in old foundations needs a special treatment to isolate its effects, not an attempt to dry it completely.
-
Around the machinery
Industrial dust mixed with oil traces from small workshops needs an initial inspection and sorting pass before cleaning.
-
Industrial dust removed
Treatment of cracks from inside comes before surface washing so dust does not return quickly.
-
Loading bays
Mineral salts from deep moisture are removed in a separate step from dry dust.
-
High level surfaces and gantries
Once finished, an anti-slip treatment seals moisture from rising to the surface quickly again.

What is different about Central Riyadh
Central Riyadh is the oldest and busiest part of the city. Olaya and Sulaimaniyah carry the office towers along King Fahd Road and Tahlia Street, including Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliah, while Al Malaz, Al Murabba, Al Batha and Al Dirah are older apartment blocks with shops on the ground floor, the Masmak quarter and the markets around Qasr Al Hukm. Heavy traffic on the main roads coats glass and shopfronts in a grey exhaust film, older stairwells and tiled corridors show worn grout and scale from the hard water, and the commercial buildings never stop taking footfall.
