Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
School cleaning in Al Sahafah, Riyadh
Al Sahafah was Riyadh's first vertical suburb, marked by tall residential and hotel towers along King Fahd Road, and schools here sit within or beside these towers with narrow corridors and multi-storey classroom blocks. This vertical layout means cleaning teams move constantly between floors via lifts and narrow stairs.
Why a school needs specialist cleaning
-
Protecting pupils' health
Children touch every surface and then put their hands to their faces, so we focus on washrooms, the canteen and door handles.
-
No disruption to lessons
We schedule the work after pupils leave or during holidays, so the school day never stops and children never mix with equipment.
-
Cleaner air in the classroom
Riyadh dust clogs the filters of split AC units faster than you would expect, and a dirty filter blows that dust back over pupils all lesson long.
-
A team that knows school buildings
A school is not an office: it has labs with chemical sinks, a canteen under health rules, and stairs that hundreds of feet cross every day.
Why the job is different in Al Sahafah
In Al Sahafah's vertical schools, narrow corridors between classrooms trap dust more than open-plan schools, and lifts and stairwells become collection points for fine particles throughout the day. The whole method is set out in our school cleaning guide.
-
Multi-storey schools with narrow corridors and lift access
Al Sahafah schools are spread across multiple floors, connected by corridors too narrow because the buildings were not originally designed as schools. Cleaning teams must move constantly through lifts and tight stairwells to address each floor separately.
-
Dust from busy King Fahd Road enters through windows and doors
Al Sahafah fronts the congested King Fahd Road, and classroom doors and windows stay open to ventilate crowded spaces, so fine dust from the main road enters classrooms and corridors constantly throughout the day.
-
Large student numbers in a vertically compressed building footprint
A vertical building holds large numbers of students in a very limited horizontal footprint, so compact rooms and crowded corridors mean footprints and dust tracked up from the playground or street accumulate rapidly between cleaning cycles.
What's Included
Al Sahafah sits on King Fahd Road and Anas bin Malik Road, surrounded by high-rises, large hotels and government institutions, and proximity to the main traffic artery means fine dust from continuous vehicle movement enters buildings steadily.
-
Classrooms and desks
Lifts and stairwells are cleaned daily as separate tasks because they are high-contact zones for students and staff throughout the day.
-
Corridors and stairs
Windows and doors facing King Fahd Road are cleaned early morning before students arrive to prevent daily street dust from entering classrooms.
-
Canteen and eating area
Narrow corridors between classrooms trap dust, so they need focused vacuuming and frequent mopping between lessons to prevent buildup on low surfaces.
-
Washrooms and disinfection
Canteens and offices are cleaned multiple times daily to control odours, food debris and oil residue settling on work surfaces.
-
Labs and their sinks
Upper-floor classrooms need extra care on windows and air conditioners because wind and air movement are stronger at height.
-
Work outside teaching hours
After each floor is finished, enough time is left before students return to ensure floors and corridors are completely dry.
The character of Al Sahafah
