For households where both parents work and the children are at school, Gulf Al-Arab Company provides hourly maids in Al Hazm, Riyadh. An hourly or part-time maid visits for the hours you book and then leaves; nobody lives in. She usually comes for 4 hours, morning or evening, tidies the bedrooms, does the washing and irons the week’s thobes and school uniforms, and a visit with one maid starts from SAR 138. To book, call or WhatsApp 0561940026.

Do you need a maid for bedrooms and the week’s ironing in Al Hazm?
If the family comes home in the evening to piles of laundry and unmade rooms, the answer is usually yes. An hourly maid fits this need exactly: you do not need someone living in, just one or two visits a week to put the rooms back in order and wash, iron, fold and put away the clothes.
In a home where everyone leaves in the morning, the jobs that get pushed back most are bedrooms and clothes. The kitchen gets cleaned because it is used every day, but the laundry basket overflows, the pile waiting for the iron grows and clothes collect on bedroom chairs. And at the start of every school week the same question comes up: are the thobes and uniforms ready?
That is the angle of this page: how working families in Al Hazm can use hourly maids to tidy bedrooms and get the week’s clothes ready, what visit length suits each size of home, and which day of the week is best to book.
Where is Al Hazm in Riyadh?
Al Hazm lies in west Riyadh on its south-western side, under Namar municipality, just south of As Suwaidi Al Gharbi, with the Western Ring Road between them. Some sites list it among south Riyadh districts because it is close to them; we serve it as part of our west Riyadh coverage.
When you book, send your location pin rather than describing the street; it is faster and more accurate for the maid. Also say whether you live in a flat, a villa or a separate floor, so we can suggest the right length the first time.
How does the maid iron thobes and school uniforms?
She irons each piece by fabric: white cotton thobes at higher heat with steam, school uniforms according to the care label, and abayas and soft fabrics at low heat from the inside. Then she hangs thobes on hangers and folds and sorts the rest by person.
The thobe is the item that takes longest in Riyadh homes; the collar, cuffs and buttons need care so it looks pressed the way its owner likes. So we ask at booking roughly how many thobes there are, since ironing seven for a father and sons is very different from two. Here is how she handles the most common pieces:
| Item | How the maid handles it | Note for you |
|---|---|---|
| White thobe | Steam-ironed from collar to sleeves to body, then hung straight away | If you like starch, set it out and tell her how much |
| Shemagh and ghutra | Ironed flat, then folded the way you specify | Some families prefer to do these themselves for the fold; just tell us |
| School uniform | By the care label, with attention to collars and pleats | Put the whole week’s uniforms in one place |
| Abayas | Low heat from the inside, hung immediately | Valuable embroidered or silk pieces can be left out |
| Work shirts | Collar and cuffs first, then back and front | Set aside dry-clean-only items; they are outside the visit |
Washing and ironing in one visit
The maid starts the washing machine at the beginning of the visit, tidies rooms while it runs, then hangs the clothes or puts them in the dryer and irons what is dry in the final hour. Anything not dry in time is ironed on the next visit.
How much is an hourly maid in Al Hazm?
A 4-hour visit with one maid starts from SAR 138 and is usually enough to tidy the bedrooms and do the washing and ironing in a flat or medium villa. If you only need ironing, 2 hours start from SAR 92:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-hour visit | Ironing the week’s thobes and uniforms and folding them | 92 |
| 4-hour visit | Bedrooms tidied and bed linen changed, plus washing and ironing | 138 |
| 5-hour visit | More rooms or a big laundry load, with bathrooms cleaned too | 184 |
| 6-hour visit | A full home clean with rooms and clothes in one go | 204 |
| 8 visits a month | Two 4-hour visits a week for working families | 885 |
| 12 visits a month | Three 4-hour visits a week for large families | 1,325 |
What you actually pay depends on hours, maids, home size and slot, and we confirm it before the visit. Evening visits matter to many working families; their charges, like Friday and holiday ones, are confirmed at booking. For any service not in the table, ask about its price on WhatsApp.

It includes changing and making the beds, returning scattered clothes to the wardrobe or laundry basket, dusting surfaces and bedside tables, and vacuuming and mopping the floor, including under the bed where it can be reached. In children’s rooms she also puts toys and books back in their places.
Guests never see the bedroom, but the family feels it more than any other room: a made bed with clean sheets at the end of a long day changes the mood of the whole home. In houses with school-age children, their rooms quickly become a mix of clothes, books and toys, which need regular tidying more than deep cleaning.
The bed
Old linen stripped and put in the washer, fresh linen fitted, pillows plumped and arranged.
The wardrobe
Ironed clothes hung, the rest folded into drawers, shoes lined up at the bottom, without emptying the whole wardrobe.
Surfaces
Dust removed from bedside tables, dressing table and shelves, mirrors cleaned.
The floor
Swept and mopped, vacuum run under the bed and over small rugs, bin emptied.
One basket per person
A small laundry basket in each room, or two in the hallway for whites and colours, saves the maid sorting time so the washer starts in the first minutes of the visit.
Which day of the week is best to book in Al Hazm?
For working families the best pattern is usually a visit at the end of the week to get clothes ready for the new one, and a mid-week visit to reset the bedrooms. This table suggests a practical split you can adjust to your family’s work hours:
| When | What the maid does | Suggested length |
|---|---|---|
| End of week (evening) | Washing the week’s clothes, ironing thobes and uniforms, hanging them | 4 hours |
| Mid-week | Tidying bedrooms, changing linen, cleaning bathrooms | 4 hours |
| Before a holiday or trip | Sorting wardrobes, folding seasonal clothes, cleaning before the home is locked up | 5 or 6 hours |
| After returning from holiday | Washing and ironing clothes from the suitcases, dusting the rooms | 4 or 5 hours |
This split suits the 8-visit monthly package from SAR 885. A smaller family may need just one 4-hour visit a week combining clothes and rooms, in the 4-visit package from SAR 468. Friday availability and charges are confirmed at booking.
How many hours does a family in Al Hazm need by size?
A small family of a couple and one or two children usually manages with one 4-hour visit a week covering rooms, washing and ironing, while a family of five or more needs two visits a week or a longer 5- or 6-hour visit. The amount of clothing makes more difference than the size of the home.
Think of it this way: on work and school days each family member wears at least five main pieces a week, a thobe, uniform or shirt, and each needs washing, ironing and hanging. Add home clothes, bed linen and towels. That is why one visit feels enough in the first weeks and then gets tight as laundry builds up. We suggest starting with one visit a week, watching for two weeks, and then deciding whether you need a second.
If there is a baby or very young children in the home, the washing doubles but ironing time drops, because little ones’ clothes are rarely ironed. Tell us your family make-up when booking and we will suggest the length closest to your reality.
How can the family get ready for school after a holiday?
Preparation starts a few days before the first school day: a 5- or 6-hour visit in which stored uniforms are washed and ironed, the children’s rooms and small desks are tidied, and outgrown clothes are separated from what still fits. That way the first week does not begin with a morning rush to find a missing piece.
After long holidays rooms have gathered dust, wardrobes are full of travel clothes and the return suitcases are still in the hallway. The maid empties suitcase clothes into the washer, dusts surfaces, changes the linen and then irons uniforms and work clothes first because they are the priority. A full wardrobe sort and folding last season’s clothes can take a separate visit.
How can you prepare clothes before the maid arrives?
Preparing clothes before the visit can save up to half an hour: separate what needs washing from what only needs ironing, put delicate items aside, and leave hangers near the ironing spot. Then the maid can start straight away.
- Keep dry-clean-only clothes in a separate bag so they do not go in the washer by mistake.
- Set up the ironing board and iron near a socket and close to the wardrobe.
- Put washing powder and fabric softener where they are easy to see, if products are not part of the agreement.
- Tell the maid which items are not to be ironed, such as sportswear or stretch fabrics.
- If you have new thobes not yet washed, say so, so they are not mixed with used whites.
Valuable and embroidered pieces
Beaded abayas and expensive silk dresses need special care. If you want the maid to iron them, tell her how you prefer it done; if in doubt, send them to a specialist laundry.
What are the limits of an hourly visit in Al Hazm?
The limits are clear: the maid does not cook family meals, stay alone with children until the parents get home, move heavy furniture, work at dangerous heights or on exterior walls, or hose a large courtyard or look after a pool or garden.
This matters especially to working families: it is preferred that a lady of the house is present during the visit, so choose a time when the mother or a female relative is home, such as the evening after work. If that is hard, talk to us when booking and we will look for the best slot with you.
How do I book an hourly maid in Al Hazm?
Book by calling or messaging WhatsApp on 0561940026. We need the following from you:
- 1Send your location pin in Al Hazm, the home type, and the number of bedrooms and family members.
- 2Say what you mainly need: ironing only, rooms with washing and ironing, or a full clean.
- 3Choose the day and slot, morning or evening, or a monthly package with fixed times, and we confirm the price.
- 4The maid arrives with basic cleaning tools, cleaning products are set as agreed at booking, and her time starts on arrival.
- 5To move the slot or ask for a different maid, WhatsApp us well ahead of the visit; you can also ask for the same maid every week, subject to availability.
Are hourly maids in Al Hazm legally employed?
Yes. The maids we send hold valid iqamas and work through a legal provider, are trained in household cleaning, washing and ironing, and dress modestly. We have maids from Kenya, Uganda and other African countries as well as from Bangladesh, and who is available varies with your booking date.
Why this matters to you: the Domestic Workers Regulation prohibits a domestic worker from working on behalf of anyone but their employer, and the penalty for a violating employer is a fine not exceeding SAR 20,000 or being barred from recruitment for a maximum of three years. According to the General Directorate of Passports, anyone who shelters or employs a residence or labour violator faces a fine of up to SAR 100,000 and as much as 6 months in prison.
Which districts near Al Hazm do you serve?
We serve Al Hazm and the districts around it at the same prices, the closest being As Suwaidi Al Gharbi to the north. To see our coverage across the zone, read hourly maids in west Riyadh, and for general service information see hourly maids company in Riyadh:
