Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
School cleaning in Makkal, Riyadh
Makkal is a small residential quarter in south-central Riyadh, part of the historic Al Dahu cluster, and schools here occupy floors or sections of older mid-rise residential buildings. Classrooms need care for aged floors and interior walls that have absorbed moisture from years in this part of the city.
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 Makkal
Schools in Makkal occupy partial floors of older residential buildings, and classrooms show cumulative moisture damage because of the buildings' age and limited ventilation in corridors shared with residential tenants. The whole method is set out in our notes on school cleaning.
-
Classrooms in old shared residential buildings
Makkal is historic and its buildings are older residential structures, with schools occupying a floor or part of one shared with residential flats in the same block. Classrooms share corridors and lifts with residents, so cleaning time windows are narrow and must be coordinated.
-
Moisture buildup in walls and floors
Buildings in Makkal are relatively old and still hold moisture absorbed over years, and interior classrooms with no large windows show stronger moisture staining on walls and floors because ventilation through the room is poor.
-
Cleaning schedules limited by shared residential use
Classrooms and corridors are used by residents of other flats in the same building, so rooms cannot be closed for the full day. Work must happen outside school hours and resident movement times, requiring coordination with the school administration and building management.
What's Included
Makkal lies between King Faisal Road and King Abdulaziz Road near the Riyadh Municipality headquarters and the General Court, and proximity to these government institutions means schools here sit in busy zones where movement and parking during cleaning work are difficult.
-
Classrooms and desks
Makkal classrooms are inspected for internal moisture before any wet cleaning to avoid making it worse.
-
Corridors and stairs
Lifts and corridors shared between residents and school are cleaned at separate times before classrooms.
-
Canteen and eating area
Old floors are cleaned in a way that leaves no excess moisture, preventing seepage to flats below.
-
Washrooms and disinfection
Windows are kept open during wet cleaning to ventilate rooms and reduce moisture moving into walls.
-
Labs and their sinks
Interior walls are wiped gently rather than soaked, removing dust without adding excess moisture.
-
Work outside teaching hours
Ventilation after work is left to natural air flow with doors open until surfaces have fully dried.

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.
