Homes in As Safa span two worlds: older family houses with classic gilded majlis furniture and hand-knotted rugs handed down through the family, and newly finished floors that need cleaning before anyone moves in. Each calls for a different way of working, which we explain here before getting to prices and times.

As Safa: a quiet district close to the city centre
Property sites list As Safa among the districts of east Riyadh, while its residents describe it as a pleasant district in central Riyadh surrounded by services. Reviewers agree that it is very quiet, clean and safe, and that the main roads are easy to reach.
Buildings range from family villas to residential floors, some of them new, and on some streets blocks with shops on the ground floor. That mix means a maid might start her morning in a classic majlis in an older villa and finish her evening in a new floor that nobody has lived in yet.
Classic majlis furniture: care before cleaning
Many As Safa homes have a classic-style men’s majlis: carved armchairs with gilded edges upholstered in velvet, lined up along the walls, with small marble-topped tables in front. Furniture like this lasts for decades when it is treated gently, and wears out quickly when it is cleaned with harsh products or a rough cloth.

If there are older pieces in the majlis you are worried about, point them out at the start of the visit and the maid will leave them alone or clean them the way you specify. That is better than assuming every piece can take a routine clean.
Hand-knotted rugs: how the maid looks after them
Hand-knotted rugs in navy and pomegranate red are part of the character of many older As Safa homes, and some have passed from one generation to the next. Cleaning them the wrong way, by scrubbing with water or vacuuming the fringes, ruins the colours and the edges.

- ✓Vacuuming the rug in the direction of the pile on a low setting
- ✓Combing the fringe straight with a wide-tooth comb instead of vacuuming it
- ✓Cleaning underneath the rug and airing the floor when needed
- ✓Lifting fresh spills by blotting with a dry cloth, never rubbing
A new floor in As Safa? Cleaning before you move in
Newly handed-over floors in the district are usually coated in fine construction dust, with paint and silicone residue on tiles and glass and grit inside cupboards and drawers. It is best to clean before the furniture arrives, because working in an empty home is quicker and cleaner.
- Clearing construction dust from floors, lower walls and door edges
- Cleaning cupboards and drawers inside before clothes and dishes go in
- Cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, mirrors and taps
- Cleaning windows and glass from inside and sliding-door tracks
For a mid-sized new floor we suggest a 6-hour visit starting from SAR 200, or a pair of maids for 4 hours starting from SAR 290. Thick dried paint or cement on tiles sometimes needs special equipment, so let us know the condition of the floor when you book.
How much is an hourly maid in As Safa?
An hourly maid in As Safa starts from SAR 135 for a 4-hour visit with one maid; prices are the same across Riyadh:
Starting prices set by Al-Kauther Home Services for hourly maid visits in Riyadh; the final price depends on hours, number of maids and home size, and any evening difference is confirmed when you book.
Choosing the right visit length for your As Safa home
- Majlis set-up only, before guests: a 2-hour visit from SAR 90.
- Flat or small floor: 4 hours from SAR 135 for a full clean.
- Family house with a majlis and lounge: 5 to 6 hours, with 6 hours from SAR 200.
- Two-storey villa: an 8-hour visit at SAR 230 and up, or a pair of maids for 4 hours at SAR 290 and up.
- New floor before moving in: 6 hours or two maids.
What does an hourly maid visit include?
A visit covers bedrooms, lounges and majlis rooms, the kitchen and washing up, bathrooms, laundry, hanging out, ironing and folding, inside glass, organising wardrobes, getting ready for Ramadan and Eid, and cleaning before moving in or after moving out. Setting up hospitality and cleaning the majlis after an occasion are a core part of the job.
It does not cover cooking full meals, looking after children alone or caring for elderly relatives, washing façades or working at height, or moving heavy furniture. The maid can help with simple kitchen prep, and we prefer an adult woman of the household to be at home throughout.
Visit times and reaching your home
There are two shifts, morning and evening, and the visit is timed from the moment the maid arrives. Because As Safa is close to the main roads, short visits such as the 2-hour option work well here, and can be booked mid-week to get the majlis ready for an unexpected guest.
- •Send your location pin; it is more precise than directions
- •If your flat is above shops, tell us the residential entrance that is separate from the shopfronts
- •Mention the floor and whether there is a lift if you live in a block
Regular visit packages
If your majlis is used every week, regular visits keep it ready at all times. A package is a set of hourly visits on days you choose, not a live-in maid:
On a package you can ask for the same maid, who gets to know your furniture, your rugs and the way you like things, and we send her whenever she is available.

Legal workers, nationalities as available
Al-Kauther maids are legally employed workers with valid residency permits, trained and dressed in a modest uniform. The maid comes with basic cleaning tools, and which cleaning products are used is agreed when you book; if you have a specific product for your furniture or marble, set it aside for her to use. We have maids of African and Asian nationalities, Kenyan and Ugandan for example, depending on availability at the time.
However tempting the offer, avoid hiring a worker who is in breach of residency rules: employing or sheltering a violator carries a fine of up to SAR 100,000 and up to six months in prison, multiplied by the number of workers.
