Standards typically aligned to CBAHI or JCI accreditation requirements.
Hotels, resorts, and serviced apartments require continuous cleaning workforce overlapping with housekeeping staff. Mecca and Madinah hotels surge dramatically during Hajj and Umrah seasons.

Request CleanersCleaning workforce typically operates through labour outsourcing or Ajeer manpower outsourcing arrangements. The supplying partner holds the workers' Iqamas, runs WPS payroll, and provides on-site supervision. The beneficiary employer specifies service standards and verifies delivery.
Three common pricing structures:
Most cleaning contracts include partner-provided accommodation, transport, uniforms, and basic cleaning equipment. Contract durations typically 1 to 3 years.
Practical minimum is typically 10 to 20 workers per contract for economic viability under labour outsourcing structures. Smaller properties may be aggregated with other contracts at the partner's discretion, or use different service structures for individual cleaner needs.
Yes. Female cleaning workforce is essential for hospitality room cleaning, healthcare female-patient areas, women's facilities, educational facilities for girls, and gender-segregated venues. Accommodation, transport, and operational arrangements for female cleaners are standard considerations in modern contracts.
Yes. Hospital and healthcare cleaning requires specialist training including infection control protocols, biomedical waste handling, and OT or isolation room procedures. Our healthcare-specialist cleaning partners provide trained workforce meeting CBAHI or JCI accreditation standards.
Façade cleaning is a specialist category requiring IRATA rope access certifications, suspended platform operation training, and working-at-height clearance. Our partners with façade cleaning capability maintain certified rope access teams for Riyadh, Jeddah, and Khobar high-rise buildings.
Yes. Some employers want only cleaning workforce and provide their own supervision. Others contract full supervised teams from the partner. Mixed arrangements where partners supply leadmen and shift supervisors but the employer's facility manager oversees overall quality are common.
Mecca and Madinah cleaning workforce scales dramatically during Hajj and Umrah. Best practice is to book 90 to 120 days ahead of Hajj. Hospitality cleaning operators typically retain seasonal workers across multiple years for continuity and reduced training overhead.
Basic cleaning equipment (mops, buckets, cloths, hand brushes) is typically provided by the supplying partner. Larger equipment (industrial scrubbers, ride-on machines, pressure washers, scaffolding) is usually provided by the employer or specified in the contract. Chemicals and consumables can be partner-supplied or employer-supplied depending on arrangement.
Our partner network mobilises skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers across the Kingdom — fully Ajeer-compliant, ready to deploy.
