From furnished units to family flats in Al Mutamarat, Riyadh, Gulf Al-Arab Company sends hourly maids in Al Mutamarat for residents who want a dust-free flat and a tidy entrance. If you are new to the term, an hourly or part-time maid is someone you book for a few hours; she comes, cleans and goes, rather than living in. She wipes the air-conditioning vents from the outside, cleans surfaces and floors, and sorts the entrance. Four hours start from SAR 138. Call or WhatsApp 0561940026.

Where is Al Mutamarat and how is it classified?
On our site Al Mutamarat sits with the districts of central Riyadh, while property portals such as Aqar and Bayut file it under north Riyadh; administratively it falls under the Ash Shumaisi sub-municipality. One street that appears in flat listings is Prince Saud bin Nasser bin Farhan Al Saud Street. If you see the district labelled “north Riyadh” in an ad or a maps app, it is the same place.
Housing in Al Mutamarat is mostly flats: rentals with two or more bedrooms, alongside serviced and hotel apartments, among them Radisson Collection Residences, whose page mentions its closeness to Al Mutamarat. So many residents are employees and professionals, some of them expatriates, and some small families who chose a modern flat close to work.
People living in this kind of flat usually want two things: a home without dust despite a busy schedule, and an entrance that looks presentable when someone drops by. That is the focus of this page, along with prices and what can be done in each length of visit.
Does an hourly maid clean the air-conditioning vents?
Yes. The maid cleans central and ducted AC vents from the outside, meaning the visible grilles in ceilings and walls, removing dust with a damp cloth or soft brush, and she wipes the front of wall-mounted or window units. Opening the unit or cleaning its ducts and fans inside is technical work outside the visit.
AC vents in modern flats are one of the biggest dust sources people overlook. Air passes through them all day in a Riyadh summer, a grey film builds up on the edges, and when the AC runs, some of that dust spreads over surfaces again. That is why a table looks clean in the morning and dusty by evening. Wiping the vents every two or three weeks reduces this a lot.
Because vents are often in the ceiling, the maid reaches what she can safely reach from the floor or with a short, stable household step. Very high vents in double-height living rooms are not asked of her, since work at height is not part of a visit.
Dust in a flat does not come from the AC alone. Here are the main sources in the district’s flats and what the maid does about each:
| Dust source | What the maid does | How often |
|---|---|---|
| AC vents and grilles | Wipes visible grilles from the outside with a damp cloth | Every two to three weeks |
| Window sills and sliding tracks | Clears and cleans the tracks, then the glass from inside | Every two weeks |
| TV, devices and shelves | Soft dry cloth that will not scratch screens | Every visit |
| Curtains | Vacuums them from top to bottom | Monthly |
| Entrance floor | Sweeps and mops the street sand carried in on shoes | Every visit |
Switch the AC off shortly before
If you can, turn off the AC in a room about a quarter of an hour before the maid wipes its vents, so the dust does not blow around while she works, then switch it back on once the floor is done.
How does the maid tidy the entrance and shoes?
She gathers scattered shoes and lines them up in the shoe cabinet or rack, wipes the cabinet inside and out, cleans the mirror and key table if there is one, then sweeps and mops the floor and wipes the inside of the front door and its handle. This takes fifteen to thirty minutes of the visit.
The entrance is the first thing a guest sees and the last thing you see on your way out, yet it quickly becomes a place for everything: work and gym shoes, shopping bags, unopened parcels. In small flats the entrance is part of the living room, so any mess shows at once. And Riyadh sand that comes in on shoes starts here before spreading through the whole flat.
Shoes
Lined up in pairs, with rarely worn ones on the top shelf.
Shoe cabinet
Shelves wiped of sand and left slightly open to air.
Mirror and table
Mirror polished, keys and small items put in order.
Mat and floor
Door mat vacuumed and the floor underneath mopped.
Parcels and bags
The maid does not open parcels or closed bags. If you want empty boxes thrown away, leave them open and flattened and tell her they are rubbish.

Four hours in Al Mutamarat start from SAR 138, enough for a two- or three-bedroom flat. If you just need a quick dust-down between visits, two hours from SAR 92 will do. These are the options closest to what residents need:
| Visit type | Details | From (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-hour visit | Quick dusting, entrance and bathroom | 92 |
| 4-hour visit | Two- or three-bedroom flat including AC vents | 138 |
| 5-hour visit | Larger flat, or one not cleaned for weeks | 184 |
| Extra hour | For curtains, ironing or a remaining corner | 52 |
| Package: 4 visits × 4 hours | A weekly visit that keeps the flat dust-free | 468 |
The amount we confirm before the visit depends on how many hours you book, how many maids come, the size of the flat and the slot you choose. Evening, Friday and holiday charges are agreed with you at booking. For anything you do not see here, ask about its price on WhatsApp.
How is an open-plan kitchen in a modern flat cleaned?
Shiny surfaces come first, because fingerprints and oil spray show on them: cupboard fronts, the fridge door, the oven glass and the hob. The maid cleans them with a suitable product and dries them so no streaks remain, then washes up, cleans the sink and mops the floor last. In modern flats the kitchen often opens onto the living room, so any mess is visible from the sofa. Since many residents are employees who cook little, the challenge is less heavy grease and more dust on unused appliances, leftover takeaway and piled-up delivery bags, so she starts by clearing rubbish, then surfaces, then small appliances such as the kettle, coffee machine and microwave inside and out.
Can I book a visit before I return from a trip?
Yes, and it suits frequent travellers well. Book the visit for the day before you return, with someone at the flat to receive the maid, or arrange her entry with building management if the building’s rules allow it. You come back to a flat that has been dusted, with fresh sheets on the bed if you left clean ones out, and a clean bathroom and kitchen.
Can the maid enter serviced or hotel apartments?
She can if the building management allows cleaners from outside, and that varies from one building to another. Some serviced apartments have their own housekeeping, and some ask visitors to register at reception or require advance notice. So we advise you to check with reception before booking and to arrange the maid’s entry in advance.
When booking, send us the building name, flat number and floor, the location of the entrance she should use (a pin), and any name she should give at reception. That protects the visit time itself, because time starts from the maid’s arrival, and waiting at reception eats into your hours.
- 1Confirm with building management that an outside cleaner is allowed, and what they need for it.
- 2Message us on 0561940026 with the building name, flat number, floor, and rooms and bathrooms.
- 3Choose the length and slot, and the focus: dust, entrance, kitchen, or the whole flat.
- 4Tell reception the maid’s name and time once we confirm your booking.
- 5The maid arrives with the driver and leaves with him when your booked hours end.
We follow building rules
If the building management does not allow outside cleaners, please do not try to bring the maid in another way. Respecting the building’s rules protects you and the maid.
What tasks does the maid do, and where are the limits?
During the visit the maid handles everything inside the flat: sweeping and mopping, kitchen and dishes, bathrooms, laundry, ironing and folding, inside glass, vacuuming sofas and rugs, and dusting. She can prepare the flat for guests or reset it after them, help you get ready for Ramadan and Eid, and clean a flat before you move in or after you leave.
The limits are clear: no full cooking, no childcare or elderly care on its own, no dangerous heights, no facades or windows from outside, no heavy furniture moving, and no hosing yards, pools or gardens. In flats with a balcony she cleans the balcony floor and the inside of its glass door only, not the railings from outside. We prefer a woman of the household to be present during the visit.
Does a weekly visit suit someone living alone in a furnished flat?
It does if you want the flat always in order without booking each time. A monthly package in Al Mutamarat is not a live-in maid; it is hourly visits at a fixed time: one 4-hour visit a week (4 visits) from SAR 468, two a week (8 visits) from SAR 885, or three a week (12 visits) from SAR 1,325.
Someone living alone may not need 4 hours every week; booking 2 hours now and then for dust, bathroom, kitchen and clothes can be enough. If you travel a lot, the best option is a visit the day before you return, so you come back to a clean flat with the dust of the days away already gone. You can change the time or the maid on WhatsApp with enough notice, and asking for the same maid is possible whenever she is available.
What tools does the maid bring?
The maid carries the basic cleaning tools, while cleaning products are agreed at booking. In furnished flats with delicate surfaces such as polished wood, marble or large screens, please tell us what they are, or leave the right cleaner for them, so that a strong product that leaves marks is not used.
Are the maids legal, and which nationalities are available?
The maids are legally employed with valid iqamas, trained in home cleaning and modestly dressed. African maids such as Kenyan and Ugandan, and Bangladeshi maids are available, and who is free changes at the time of booking. For residents who prefer English, mention it when booking and we will try to take it into account depending on who is available.
Remember that using an unregistered worker has consequences. The Domestic Workers Regulation does not allow a sponsor to have their worker work for someone else, exposing them to a fine of up to twenty thousand riyals or a recruitment ban of up to three years (Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development). Employing, sheltering or transporting residence and labour violators can lead to prison of up to six months and a fine reaching SAR 100,000 (General Directorate of Passports).
