Cleaning company in Al Baha: what does a full clean include?
A full clean with Gulf Al Arab covers every room from ceiling to floor: dust is removed from ceilings, chandeliers and fans, washable walls are wiped, doors, handles and light switches are cleaned, then the floors of every type, and finally the kitchen and bathrooms, because those two take the longest and need the strongest products. No corner behind furniture or under the beds is left unvacuumed, and light items are lifted and put back in place.
What we focus on depends on the state of the property. An occupied home needs care for upholstery and the everyday kitchen; an empty apartment before move-in needs sanitising and the inside of every cupboard cleaned; a villa after finishing work needs building residue removed before anything else. That is why we ask about the condition of the place when you book, so we can send the right number of workers and the right machines.
- Rooms and living areas: ceilings, chandeliers, the outside of AC units, windows, doors and wardrobe exteriors.
- Floors: ceramic, porcelain, marble, parquet and fitted carpet, each with the product that suits it.
- Kitchens: grease removed from the hood, oven, walls and cabinets; sinks and the outside of the fridge cleaned.
- Bathrooms: limescale removed from taps and tiles, toilets and basins sanitised, grout lines scrubbed.
- Glass: windows inside and out, glass facades, glass balustrades and shower screens.
- Outdoors: courtyards, walkways, roofs, driver rooms, annexes, building entrances and stairwells.
- Sanitising: door handles, kitchen worktops, bathrooms and children’s rooms with safe products after cleaning.

Cleaning prices in Al Baha for each type of home
Cleaning prices in Al Baha with Gulf Al Arab start from SAR 165 for a two-bedroom apartment, from SAR 230 for a three-bedroom apartment and from SAR 600 for a villa of up to 300 square metres. The price includes the workers, the equipment and all cleaning and sanitising products, and it rises with the floor area, the number of bathrooms, the condition of the place and whether it is occupied or empty.
The table below shows starting prices for the most requested cleaning services in Al Baha city and its governorates:
| Service | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom apartment | Two rooms, living room, kitchen and one or two bathrooms | 165 |
| Three-bedroom apartment | Three rooms, living room, kitchen and two bathrooms | 230 |
| Villa up to 300 m² | Two floors with the staircase and front courtyard | 600 |
| Villa up to 600 m² | Several floors, annexes and larger courtyards | 1000 |
| Deep kitchen clean | Hood, oven, walls and cabinets inside and out | 140 |
| Bathroom | Limescale removal, sanitising and grout cleaning | 185 |
| Post-construction | Apartment with cement, gypsum and paint removal | 370 |
| Glass and facades | Per square metre, inside and outside | 23 |
| Courtyard or roof | Sweeping, washing and removal of algae and dust | 275 |
| Office or shop | Small to medium space | 275 |
| Three-seater sofa | Steam wash with water extraction | 100 |
| Household water tank | Draining, washing and disinfection | 120 |
What usually raises the price is not floor area alone. A kitchen with years of built-up grease needs extra hours, the many bathrooms of a large villa can take half the crew’s time, and a house full of furniture needs things moved and put back. Specialist jobs such as machine polishing of marble or cleaning crystal chandeliers piece by piece vary a great deal from house to house, so ask about their price at the inspection.
Tip before you book
Tell us the number of rooms and bathrooms, whether the home is occupied or empty, and send a photo of the kitchen if it has old grease. Those three details are enough to set the crew size and working time accurately, so there are no surprises on the day.
Apartment cleaning in Al Baha: furnished, empty and before move-in
Apartment cleaning in Al Baha starts from SAR 165 for a two-bedroom flat, and the work differs between furnished and empty apartments. In a furnished apartment we vacuum the sofas and rugs, wipe the furniture, lift small items off surfaces and return them, and concentrate on the kitchen and bathroom because they are used most. In an empty apartment we open every cupboard and drawer and clean inside, wash the windows and their tracks, clean the doors and frames and sanitise the floors.
Many apartments in Al Baha city sit in buildings of three or four floors, and some are rented for the summer season and then closed for months. A flat left shut for a long time in the mountains collects fine dust and a damp smell behind wardrobes and in the bathrooms, so before moving in we recommend a deep clean with ventilation, sanitising of bathroom and kitchen drains, and cleaning the AC filters from the outside before switching the units on.
If you are a tenant handing the apartment back to the landlord, we prepare it for handover: removing nail and adhesive marks from walls where possible, degreasing the kitchen, polishing the taps and washing the floors until they look close to their original state. This shortens the handover discussion and presents the flat neatly.
Villa, traditional house and palace cleaning in Al Baha
Villa cleaning in Al Baha starts from SAR 600 for a villa of up to 300 square metres and from SAR 1000 for one of up to 600 square metres, covering the floors, staircase, majlis rooms, annexes and courtyard. We split the crew across the floors at the same time: one team starts on the bathrooms and kitchen, another on the bedrooms and halls, and a third outside, so most medium-sized villas are finished in a single day.
Large villas in Al Baha have details that need attention. A marble staircase needs a non-acidic product so it keeps its shine, tall chandeliers need a stable ladder and two workers, and wide majlis rooms have floor seating and many cushions. Old stone houses in the villages, with thick walls and timber ceilings, are cleaned first with dry brushes and vacuuming, and we keep water to a minimum on wood and natural stone so they do not soak up damp.
Floors and stairs
Vacuuming, washing and polishing of stairs, handrails and landings.
Majlis and guest rooms
Men’s and family majlis rooms, floor seating and back cushions.
Annexes and driver rooms
The outside annex with its bathroom and small kitchen.
Courtyards and roofs
Sweeping, washing and clearing algae, dust and fallen leaves.
Kitchen cleaning in Al Baha and removal of built-up grease
A deep kitchen clean starts from SAR 140 and covers the hood and its filters, the oven and hob, the walls behind the cooking area, the cabinets inside and out, the worktops and the sinks. We use degreasers made for kitchens, then rinse and wipe so no product smell is left on surfaces where food is prepared.
Kitchens in Al Baha homes are used a lot for daily cooking and for gatherings, and in the cold months windows stay shut, so cooking vapour sticks to the ceiling and the upper cabinets. That is why we work from top to bottom: ceiling and lights, upper cabinets, walls and worktops, then the lower cabinets and the floor. On wooden or gloss-coated cabinets we test the product on a hidden corner first.
For gas cooking we remove the burner heads, soak them and clear their holes, and take out the metal hood filters to clean them with hot water and degreaser. The inside of the fridge and oven can be cleaned too if you ask, after they are emptied, and we leave the fridge door slightly open so it dries.
Warning
Never mix chlorine-based products with acidic cleaners in the kitchen or bathroom; the mixture releases irritating fumes. Our crew uses each product on its own and rinses in between.
Bathroom cleaning and limescale removal in Al Baha
Bathroom cleaning starts from SAR 185 and includes removing limescale from taps, shower heads and tiles, scrubbing the grout lines with a brush, sanitising the toilet and basin, polishing mirrors and glass shower doors, and clearing hair and residue from the drains.
The white deposits on taps and shower screens come from minerals in the water and build up faster with hot water. We remove them with a descaler at a strength suited to the surface; chrome tolerates what natural marble cannot, so no acidic product ever goes on marble or stone in a bathroom.
In homes that get damp in winter, black spots appear in ceiling corners and along the grout, so we treat them with an anti-fungal cleaner and explain how to slow their return with ventilation and by running the extractor fan after a shower. If the grout is cracked or missing we advise regrouting, because cleaning alone does not stop water getting behind the tiles.
Post-construction and renovation cleaning in Al Baha
Post-construction cleaning starts from SAR 370 per apartment and covers removing cement and gypsum residue from tiles, paint drops from glass and floors, vacuuming fine dust from corners and window tracks, dusting doors, frames and electrical fittings, and then washing the floors twice until the white film is gone.
Building dust is among the hardest kinds to remove, because it is extremely fine and reappears on the floor after the first wash. So we vacuum it first with an industrial machine before any water, then lift hard spots with a hand scraper held at an angle that does not scratch the tile, then wash with a product made for cement residue and rinse with clean water. On glass we use a dedicated paint blade with soapy water so it does not scratch.
If you are building a new house in Al Baha or renovating an old one, schedule the clean after every tradesman has finished, not before the lights or doors are fitted, so you do not need a second clean. If you then need your belongings taken to the new home, see the furniture moving page.
Glass, facade and window cleaning in Al Baha
Glass and facade cleaning starts from SAR 23 per square metre and covers windows inside and outside wherever they can be reached safely, glass shopfronts and office facades, glass balustrades, and aluminium frames and tracks where dust and insects collect.
In the highlands, fog and rain pass over the windows often, leaving water marks and dried dust once they evaporate. We remove those marks with water and a diluted glass cleaner, pull the water off with a rubber squeegee from top to bottom, and dry the edges with microfibre so no streaks remain. High glass that a ladder cannot reach gets a safe method agreed at the inspection; we do not work at height without suitable safety equipment.
Regular cleaning versus deep cleaning
A regular clean keeps the home tidy between visits, while a deep clean reaches what normally gets missed: inside cupboards, behind appliances, grout lines, ceilings and window tracks. The table below sets out the difference so you can choose what suits your home:
Compare the two in terms of tasks, time and when each is needed:
| Item | Regular clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Floors | Vacuum and mop | Machine wash, grout and corners |
| Kitchen | Worktops, sink and hob exterior | Hood, filters, cabinet interiors and walls |
| Bathrooms | Quick wipe and sanitise | Limescale removal, grout and ceiling |
| Furniture | Dusting | Furniture moved and cleaned behind and under |
| Time | A few hours | Usually a full day for a medium home |
| When to book | Weekly or fortnightly | Before move-in, after move-out, before Ramadan and Eid, or every few months |
Office, shop, mosque and school cleaning in Al Baha
Office and shop cleaning starts from SAR 275 for a small to medium space and covers desks, chairs, floors, toilets, the kitchenette and the glass front. We can work after closing time or at the weekend so business is not interrupted.
For mosques we pay attention to the carpets with strong vacuuming and odour removal, to the toilets and ablution areas with descaling and sanitising, and to windows, fans and the outside of AC units, finishing the work between prayer times. Schools and larger facilities differ widely in floor area, classrooms and toilets, so ask about their price at the inspection.
Related services: sofas, majlis, steam cleaning and water tanks
A full clean covers the whole home, but some jobs have their own guides because they need special equipment and explanation. If your concern is upholstery and Arabic floor seating, read majlis and sofa cleaning in Al Baha; for steam sanitising of mattresses, carpets and curtains in place, read steam cleaning in Al Baha; and for a rooftop or ground water tank, read water tank cleaning in Al Baha.
These jobs can be combined in one visit: house cleaning, a sofa steam wash and a tank clean, with each team working with its own equipment at the same time so the home is handed back ready in a single day.

Request the serviceHow our Al Baha cleaning service works, from booking to handover
The Gulf Al Arab cleaning service follows seven clear steps, starting with understanding the condition of the place and ending with a walk-through with you:
- Defining the job: property type, size, number of bathrooms, occupied or empty, and any notes such as old grease or finishing residue.
- Time and crew size: we pick a time that suits you and size the crew so the work ends within a reasonable time.
- Arrival and first walk-round: the supervisor tours the home with you and notes what to focus on and what must not be touched.
- Protecting furniture: appliances and delicate pieces are covered, and valuables are moved aside in your presence.
- Top-to-bottom cleaning: ceilings and lights first, then walls and windows, then furniture, then floors.
- Kitchens, bathrooms and sanitising: the right product for each surface, then handles and shared surfaces sanitised.
- Handover walk-through: you check every room with the supervisor, and any remark is dealt with before the crew leaves.
The equipment and products we use
Good cleaning depends more on matching the product to the surface than on the strength of the product. That is why the crew brings a varied set of machines and materials and chooses what suits each part of the home:
Industrial vacuums
Wet and dry suction for fine dust, finishing residue and wash water.
Floor scrubbers
Rotary brushes for ceramic and porcelain, and special pads for marble.
Steam machines
Sanitising kitchens, bathrooms and upholstery without harsh chemicals.
Colour-coded microfibre
One colour for the kitchen, one for the bathroom, one for furniture, so dirt never travels.
Degreasers and descalers
Different strengths for chrome, tiles and cabinets, with no acid on marble.
Glass tools
Rubber squeegees, paint blades and extension poles for windows.
Why do homes in Al Baha need a different kind of cleaning?
Homes in Al Baha need a different approach because the highland weather mixes fog, rain, cold and dust. Winter damp and foggy spells make dust cling to walls and windows, and houses kept closed against the cold get less ventilation, so smells and damp patches appear in bathrooms, corners and behind wardrobes.
In summer Al Baha fills with holidaymakers, and houses and furnished apartments are opened after long closure and need a quick deep clean before family or guests arrive. In the Tihama governorates such as Qilwah and Al Mikhwah the climate is warmer and dust matters more than damp, so the focus shifts to windows, AC units and floors.
That is why we ask where the house is before the visit: in the highlands we concentrate on damp, ventilation and sanitising; in Tihama on dust, glass and courtyards.
Good to know
Timber and stone walls in old houses absorb water easily, so washing them with a lot of water can leave stains or raise the damp. It is better to vacuum and dry-brush first, then wipe lightly with a barely damp cloth.
Regular cleaning contracts: weekly and monthly
Regular cleaning contracts suit large homes, offices and furnished apartments let to tenants: the same crew visits on a fixed day with an agreed task list. A weekly visit focuses on the kitchen, bathrooms and floors, and a monthly visit adds windows, cupboards and ceilings. The contract price depends on the number of visits and the floor area, so ask about it at the inspection.
The advantage of a regular contract is that the home never reaches the point of needing an expensive deep clean, and the crew gets to know your home and your preferences, so you do not have to explain everything each time.
Al Baha districts and governorates we serve
We serve the districts of Al Baha city, including Al Dhafir, Raghdan, Shahbah and Al Hawiyah, and travel to the governorates of the region in both the highlands and Tihama. Each larger town has its own guide with local prices and details:
- Al Baha city: Al Dhafir, Raghdan, Shahbah, Al Hawiyah and the city centre.
- Highlands: cleaning in Baljurashi, cleaning in Al Mandaq, Al Qura and Bani Hassan.
- North of Al Baha: Al Aqiq and cleaning in Sabt Al Alaya.
- Tihama: cleaning in Qilwah and cleaning in Al Mikhwah.
If you live in a village or settlement away from the main road, give its name and the nearest landmark when you book so we can plan the arrival time.
Tips to keep your home clean after the service
A home stays clean much longer with a few simple daily habits; a deep clean resets the house, and habits keep it there:
- Open the windows for a quarter of an hour on clear days, even in winter, to refresh the air and reduce damp.
- Run the kitchen extractor while cooking and for a few minutes after, and wipe the hob while it is still warm, before grease sets.
- Dry shower doors and taps after use to reduce white limescale.
- Put a mat at every entrance; most dust and mud in the rainy season comes in on shoes.
- Clean the outside filters of your AC units every month during the season.
- Do not leave wet clothes in closed rooms; they are a common cause of musty smells.
Common mistakes
Too much water on parquet, spraying glass cleaner in direct sun so it streaks, using a hard brush on marble, and mopping before vacuuming, which turns dust into a thin mud in the corners.
How to choose a cleaning company in Al Baha
You choose the right cleaning company by asking clear questions before the appointment: what exactly does the price include? Are products and equipment supplied by the company? How many workers will come and when will they finish? Is there a supervisor who walks through the handover with you? Are remarks dealt with before the crew leaves?
Ask for a written list of what will be cleaned and what is not included, such as crystal chandeliers or marble polishing, so there is no disagreement afterwards. And make sure the company knows your location and can reach it, especially if the house is in a mountain village or down in Tihama.
