Disinfection in Al Mansour Makkah

Al Mansour is one of Makkah's oldest districts strung along Prince Mansour Street, the long commercial artery that runs from Al Hajoun Road down to Ibrahim Al Khalil Street. Shops and small markets line the ground floor with ageing apartment blocks above them. The commercial hub is busy and traffic from buyers, sellers and workers flows constantly. Disinfection here faces a mix of shops, offices and homes, with very old drainage networks.

Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Mansour

Shops and markets bring varied contamination from food, trade and dust. Daily traffic from sellers, shoppers and workers is constant. The method is set out in full on Disinfection in detail.

The first reason

Shops, offices and markets below residential blocks

The street is long and traffic is heavy; shops and markets open early and close late. Smell, scraps, dust and diverse contaminants rise to the flats above continuously.

The second reason

Very old water and drainage pipes

Pipes are very old and may leak. Moisture and smell from commerce travel through ducts and gaps.

The third reason

Daily foot traffic from sellers, shoppers and workers

Hundreds of buyers, sellers and workers pass the street daily. This traffic brings new contaminants and prevents easy drying.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

A long old commercial street in central Makkah, with shops and markets on ground floors and old apartment buildings above, constant commercial activity.

The touch points

Touch points in shops and offices carry varied contaminants; we treat them with stronger focus than homes.

Porous surfaces

Floors in shops and passages are soiled with food scraps and dust; we clean them thoroughly before treating.

The finish itself

Paint on shop walls collects dust and cooking grease; we remove soiled layers.

The filter and grille of an indoor air conditioning unit

The air conditioning unit

Shop air conditioning may draw air from the street and other shops; we check filters and ducts carefully.

Floor traps

Floor drains in shops hold food scraps and moisture from cleaning; we clear them with care.

Shared entrances and stairs

Doors and windows facing the street need special treatment around frames and openings.

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.

The character of Al Mansour

Commercial area: offices, showrooms and small stores

A commercial zone with shops, offices and stores where sellers, staff and shoppers move constantly. Disinfection focuses on many touch points and openings between adjacent shops and offices, and on cracks around pipes that carry smell and contaminants easily.

Questions about this district

The shop below the office sells food and spices; do smells reach the office after disinfection?

Disinfection kills contaminants but return from the shop is swift. We focus on cracks between floors and gaps around pipes.

The shop opens at six in the morning and closes late; should we disinfect while it is open or closed?

We disinfect before opening or after closing. Disinfection during constant movement is less effective.

Pipes under the street are very old and smell comes from below; does disinfection help?

Disinfection kills existing contaminants but cannot reach pipes below ground. We focus on internal openings and cracks.

Prince Mansour Market below the office sees heavy traffic; how often do we disinfect?

One treatment is enough for a month or two. If contamination from the market is heavy, we may treat monthly.

The residential block above the shop is old and the walls are damp; does moisture stop disinfection?

Moisture slows the disinfectant from drying. We dry the walls completely first, then apply the product and let it dry fully.

Does a commercial office need different treatment from a residential flat above it?

Yes, the office carries different contaminants. We focus on traffic and openings in the office, then treat the flat above.

How much does disinfection in Al Mansour 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 Mansour.
