Disinfection in Al Jamiah Makkah

Al Jamiah brings permanent residents and seasonal floods of pilgrims and visitors into tightly packed hotels, apartments and shops straddling King Khalid Road and Al Masjid Al Haram Road. The tall residential and hotel blocks, the close-set shopfronts, and the small district parks create unique challenges for comprehensive treatment across repeated floors, shared entrances and the pipework connecting them.

Why they keep coming back in Al Jamiah

The hotels and apartment blocks here experience rapid turnover of occupants, and the identical repeated bathrooms and kitchens on each floor need consistent treatment across the entire height of the building. The method is set out in full on what Disinfection involves.

The first reason

Hotels and flats standing close together

Hotels and residential blocks are built touching each other, sharing drain and ventilation pipes. Contaminants pass easily between rooms through the shared pipework, so we treat the floors in sequence and make certain each floor trap is dry and sealed before the next group of visitors enters.

The second reason

Constant movement and rapid turnover

The continuous flow of visitors and Umrah pilgrims means we cannot wait between treating one floor and the next. We work quickly through each floor but still leave the disinfectant wet for its full contact time, sealing traps and gaps before opening doors to the next occupants.

The third reason

Shopping and goods movement nearby

Makkah Mall and the shop-lined streets sit beside the district and draw constant foot traffic and goods movement from the street. Treating ventilation openings, windows and doors close to the shops is essential to stop contaminants entering from outside air.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

Al Jamiah is a high-density district cut through by two main roads and hosts major seasonal influxes of visitors, requiring fast and thorough treatment between the waves of foot traffic passing through.

The touch points

Touch points in hotels and crowded residential blocks are very high traffic, especially door handles and handrails, and need intensive treatment across many floors.

Porous surfaces

Porous surfaces of plaster and sandstone in older hotels in Al Jamiah absorb odours readily, so we must dry thoroughly before and leave the product wet for the full time.

The finish itself

Finishes vary widely from modern hotels with glass walls to older apartment blocks with painted plaster, each requiring different handling and product rates.

The air conditioning unit

Central air conditioning systems in hotels and blocks share the same ducts, readily spreading contaminants, so we treat both wet and dry outlets together.

Floor traps

Floor traps in bathrooms and kitchens are numerous throughout the district and each needs treating individually on each floor.

Shared entrances and stairs

Shared entrances and stairwells are constantly busy with visitors, so we choose off-peak times and work quickly without compromising the quality of treatment.

How we work

1
Walk the space and list the surfaces

We go through the rooms and mark the touch points, the porous surfaces and the finishes, then ask what prompted the call: illness at home, moving into a new place, building work, or a smell that arrived out of nowhere.
2
Clean what we are about to treat

We take the film of dust and grease off the surfaces that are in scope, so the product reaches the surface itself. This is preparation for the treatment, not general house cleaning.
3
Apply it, and hold the contact time

Hand work on the touch points, a product matched to each surface, and the surface left visibly wet for as long as that material needs before it is dried off. Cold fogging comes last, for what a cloth cannot reach.
4
Ventilate and hand back

We open the place up, rinse food preparation surfaces with water, and tell you when each room goes back into use. We give you that timing on the call, because it changes with the product and the space.

What a disinfection visit includes

A surface and touch point survey

What gets treated, and with what, settled before anything is opened.
Soil off first, then the disinfectant

The greasy film comes off first, then a product that stays wet for the contact time it needs.
Floor traps and the air conditioning drain

Floor traps, sink outlets and the drain tray, which is where most smells actually begin.
Cold fogging for the space

For upward faces and corners a cloth never reaches, done as the last thing before we leave a room.
Ventilation and use instructions

What gets rinsed with water, what is left alone, and when each room goes back into use.
A scheduled repeat when it is needed

For shared entrances and places people pass through every day, because a disinfectant leaves nothing behind to stop the next contact.

Questions about this district

Can one hotel pass contamination to the flats next to it through shared pipes?

Yes, shared pipes and ventilation connect them directly. We treat each room and flat separately, but treating shared traps and openings is essential to break the transmission route.

How long do we wait before the next group of pilgrims can enter?

After treatment finishes, we leave the disinfectant wet for the specified time, then ventilate the room. A minimum of two hours before occupants enter is advised, though full ventilation provides better protection.

Do small parks like Abu Raysh Park affect the airborne contaminants in flats?

Parks support microbial growth and insects, carrying natural contaminants in the air. Treating windows and openings that face the parks is very important.

Do the major roads around Al Jamiah make disinfection less effective?

Major roads bring dust and airborne contaminants. We focus on treating external windows, openings and air intake grilles to reduce outside contamination entering the building.

Does Alawi Tunsi Hospital close by affect the district?

Hospitals generate specific contaminants. We recommend annual preventive disinfection for buildings and hotels near hospitals, especially during peak seasons.

Can we disinfect hotels and flats at the same time?

Yes, but carefully. We treat hotels and residential blocks in sequence rather than together to maintain quality control and ensure each floor trap is dry before doors open to the next occupants.

How much does disinfection in Al Jamiah cost?

It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Jamiah.
