Why they keep coming back in Jabal Al Noor

A hotel sits beside a residential flat beside a commercial shop, each receiving hundreds of daily visitors from different countries. Contamination types are numerous and spread rapidly between buildings. The method is set out in full on our Disinfection service.

The first reason

Hotels receive pilgrims from many countries carrying new viruses

The hotel beside residential housing sees heavy and rapidly changing visitor traffic. Lifts, passages and surfaces are touched by hundreds of hands from many countries. Daily disinfection is essential in hotels and furnished flats.

The second reason

Shops move pollution upward into the blocks above

Souq Al Arab and street-level shops see heavy customer traffic. Smell and dust rise into flats above them. We treat shop and block as a single system, concentrating on the gaps between floors.

The third reason

King Faisal Road carries exhaust and heavy continuous traffic

The main road carries relentless vehicle traffic. Buildings facing it are exposed to constant dust and exhaust pollution. We select products that withstand this level of external contamination.

Before treatment

What we look at before the product is chosen

Jabal Al Noor north east of the Grand Mosque attracts a steady stream of tourists and pilgrims every day. The mountain's base hosts heavy footfall across hotels, residential blocks, shops and food outlets.

The touch points

Lifts, passages and surfaces in hotels are touched by hundreds of hands daily. We focus on buttons, handles, railings and walls right up to ceiling height.

Porous surfaces

Building surfaces here are mixed: old stone, concrete and peeling paint. Pollutants seep through cracks and fissures in old walls much more than in modern surfaces.

The finish itself

Finishes vary widely: modern hotel rooms have smooth surfaces, very old flats have rough and cracked walls. We choose products suited to each surface type.

The air conditioning unit

Centralised air conditioning in hotels moves air between different rooms. We disinfect filters and outlets thoroughly. Residential flats usually have separate window units.

Floor traps

Floor traps in hotels and commercial shops stay wet from constant use. We treat them deeply and leave them wet with product for extended periods.

Shared entrances and stairs

Stairs and shared passages in blocks are meeting points for residents and visitors. We focus on them with repeated treatment, especially in hotels and furnished flats.

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.

What is different about Al Maabdah Sub-Municipality

Al Maabdah sub municipality climbs from Al Abtah and Al Jumayzah beside the Al Mualla cemetery up through Al Khansa and Rai Adhakhir to Al Adl, Jabal Al Nour, Wadi Jaleel and Qurtubah on the outer ring roads. It mixes hotels and pilgrim housing near the Grand Mosque with old popular houses on hillside passes, new housing schemes on valley floors that carry flash floods after rain, and industrial plots, workshops and warehouses along Al Hajj Street in Qurtubah. Street widening and expropriation leave partly demolished frontages in Al Khansa.

Questions about this district

The hotel welcomes pilgrims from many countries; are viruses more of a risk here?

Yes. The hotel gathers visitors from many countries and viral types are numerous. Daily disinfection is essential, focusing on lifts, passages and rooms between each guest.

The furnished flat is cleaned between guests; when do we disinfect it?

We disinfect immediately after cleaning and before the next pilgrim arrives. The window is short so we use fast-acting products.

The lift carries hundreds of pilgrims daily from different countries; how often do we disinfect?

The lift is high risk. We treat it morning and evening at minimum. Buttons, walls, floor and ceiling need treatment every 6 hours in a busy hotel.

The furnished flat sits empty for days between pilgrims; when should we disinfect?

We disinfect before the next guest arrives, not before closing. An empty flat holds cleanliness better, but shared lift pollutants may still enter.

The hotel wants continuous disinfection; can we set up weekly routine?

Weekly disinfection is too sparse for a hotel with this traffic. We recommend daily treatment for lifts, passages and rooms between guests.

Is there a real difference between disinfecting a hotel and a residential flat?

A substantial one. The hotel has rapid daily turnover; the flat is a family home. We use stronger products and much higher frequency in hotels.

How much does disinfection in Jabal Al Noor 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 Jabal Al Noor.
