A Multi-Storey Villa Cleaning Plan for Jeddah: Where to Start and How to Order the Work

Dust settles by gravity, so start with ceilings, fans, chandeliers and AC vents, then high surfaces, cupboards and frames, then furniture, and floors last. In each floor begin with dry work such as dusting and vacuuming, then wet work such as wiping surfaces and washing floors.

This order means you never re-contaminate what you have cleaned or rewash a floor after dust from above lands on it. In a villa with several floors start at the top and work down, or finish one whole floor before the next so clean areas stay clean.

Sketch a simple map of zones: ground floor (majlis, living room, kitchen, bathrooms), upper floors (bedrooms, bathrooms, lounges), roof and annexes, entrance and garden, and service rooms and storerooms. Give each zone an approximate time and decide who works there.

The map prevents a place being forgotten, helps split the work between the family and the cleaning team, and makes the final review easier.

It is the most used and soiled floor. Work starts at the ceiling and lighting, then curtains, sofas and majlis seating, then surfaces, and floors last. For the majlis see the sofa and majlis stains guide, and for the kitchen the kitchen grease guide.

The outer entrance, stairs and lift if there is one need their own attention because they take more dust and shoes than anywhere else; it is best to clean them last, together with the garden.

Sort the bedrooms first: clear surfaces, beat mattresses and bedding, clean wardrobes inside and then the floors. In bathrooms remove scale and check joints and silicone; see the limescale and mold guide. Windows and balconies take extra time in villas because of the large glass areas.

Mind safety on high work: do not use unstable ladders, do not climb balconies or windows without suitable equipment, and leave dangerous jobs to experienced people.

Many villas collect dust on the roof and on tanks and outdoor AC units, and in service annexes and storerooms that are seldom opened. Open and air them, then remove dust and check for damp, leaks and insects. In the garden clean floors and seating and wash them with care.

Check the water tank if it sits on the roof; cleaning it is specialist work with safety steps, and the tank sediment and algae guide explains when a tank needs cleaning.

Tidying small items, lifting valuables and documents, partly emptying wardrobes and pointing out sensitive areas. Everything the family does before the team arrives shortens the job and reduces damage risk. See how to prepare your home before the team visits.

The team takes on heavy and specialist work: washing upholstery, cleaning floors and glass, deep kitchen and bathroom cleaning and high surfaces.
