Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
School cleaning in Al Salihiyah, Riyadh
Al Salihiyah is a dense residential quarter in central Riyadh adjoining Ghubairah, with mid-rise apartment blocks containing small schools within them and ground-floor shops around the perimeter. Classrooms sit close to narrow streets and shops, so they face road dust and heavy daily foot traffic, and tight corridors mean difficult equipment access and limited air circulation.
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 Salihiyah
Schools in Al Salihiyah housed within apartment buildings are difficult to reach with large cleaning equipment, requiring special planning to move gear and materials through narrow passages. The whole method is set out in the school cleaning overview.
-
Schools inside mid-rise apartment buildings
Schools in Al Salihiyah sit inside residential buildings only, making large equipment access difficult and requiring small vehicles, with narrow passages and stairs hard to navigate with heavy gear. Each school needs its own access plan.
-
Small shops on ground floors increase traffic
Small shops occupy ground floors of apartment blocks around schools, so shoppers and residents pass near school entrances all day, bringing street dirt and dust from narrow surrounding streets in constantly.
-
Narrow passages and limited air circulation
Passages and classrooms in schools tucked inside dense apartment blocks are tight and poorly ventilated, so dust that enters stays longer and settles more, requiring frequent cleaning and strong ventilation after each session.
What's Included
Al Salihiyah sits between Al Batha Road and King Faisal Road in old central Riyadh, and Al Salihiyah Metro Station's proximity brings more foot and vehicle traffic around schools, driving dust in from narrow surrounding streets.
-
Classrooms and desks
Al Salihiyah schools are enclosed in apartment buildings, so we use small, light equipment suited to tight passages and stairs.
-
Corridors and stairs
Classrooms have limited ventilation, so we leave them open to air longer after cleaning than typical schools.
-
Canteen and eating area
Air filters clog faster due to poor circulation, so they are cleaned weekly instead of on standard schedules.
-
Washrooms and disinfection
Shops and residents bring street dirt in, so corridors and entrances need repeated cleaning throughout the day.
-
Labs and their sinks
Entry areas and first passages have heavier dirt buildup, receiving special attention to keep dirt out of classrooms.
-
Work outside teaching hours
After cleaning, classrooms stay open to air overnight to ventilate tight passages and spaces.
The character of Al Salihiyah
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
Al Salihiyah is a dense residential quarter of mid-rise apartments with small ground-floor shops, and schools are housed only inside these buildings, meaning tight passages, limited ventilation and steady traffic from residents and shop visitors.
