Irqah: a district of large villas on Wadi Hanifa
Irqah is in north-west Riyadh, under the Irqah sub-municipality, and is known by exit 36. Wadi Hanifa Road and the Diplomatic Quarter border it to the east; Wadi Hanifa and Dhahrat Laban to the south; the Western Ring Road and Al Mahdiyah to the west; and Wadi Hanifa and Al Khuzama to the north. Mani Al Muraidi Road runs through it, and the name is said to come from “Irqan”.
Irqah is counted among the most upmarket districts in west Riyadh: elevated, quiet and self-contained, with mostly large villas alongside some flats and plots. It has the Irqah notary office, the Irqah health centre, the old Irqah hospital, Prince Mishaal bin Abdulaziz Mosque, Sundus Mall, Irqah Plaza, Al Wadi Plaza and the Irqah gardens. King Saud University, King Khalid University Hospital and Al Yamamah Palace are close by.
Homes in Irqah raise two questions for any cleaning service before anything else: how do you get through a villa this size in one visit, and how do you treat high-end finishes without damaging them? Those two questions shape this page.
Large villa in Irqah: two maids or an 8-hour visit?
Both options get through a similar amount of work; the difference is timing and how the day runs. One maid for eight hours suits families who want the work to go on quietly, with only one extra person moving around the house. Two maids for four hours finish the villa in half the time, which helps before a gathering or when you want the house calm again by midday.
Hourly maid prices in Irqah
A maid costs the same in Irqah as in any other Riyadh district, and transport to and from your home is included. Starting prices:
Prices are taken from Al-Kauther Home Services’ hourly maid table for Riyadh and are starting prices. The total varies with hours, number of maids, villa size and shift, and evening, Friday and holiday rates are confirmed at booking.
Delicate surfaces in Irqah villas: glass, brass and wood
Many villas here separate the living room from the dining room with glass partitions in slim brass frames, and use walnut tables and marble floors and basins. Each surface has its own method: glass is cleaned with glass cleaner and a microfibre cloth, then buffed dry so no streaks remain; brass is wiped with a soft dry cloth and no abrasive cleaners; wood is dusted with a dry cloth; and marble is cleaned with a mild, non-acidic product.
Living rooms that open onto palms, and indoor plants
Being close to Wadi Hanifa and its farms has led many villas to open their living rooms onto palms and greenery through floor-to-ceiling glass, with large plants in clay pots indoors. Those glass walls need regular wiping on the inside, and the leaves of big plants collect dust and lose their shine.
The maid wipes broad indoor leaves one by one with a damp cloth, cleans the rims of the pots and the saucers beneath, then wipes the glass on the inside. Watering, feeding and pruning plants, and cleaning glass frontages from the outside at height, are not part of her tasks.
Privacy and house instructions
Large villas have many rooms and suites, and some of them may be private spaces the family would rather keep closed. We suggest writing a short, clear set of instructions for the maid on the first visit, which then stays with her on every visit after:
- ✓Which rooms and suites to clean, and which to leave alone
- ✓Appliances and items not to be moved or wiped
- ✓Where the cleaning products, vacuum and laundry baskets are kept
- ✓How the family likes wardrobes and bed linen arranged
- ✓Which door the maid should use to come and go
Ideally, a woman of the household stays at home while the maid is working. Al-Kauther maids wear a modest uniform and keep to the tasks agreed for the visit.
What the visit includes and excludes
- Includes: cleaning and tidying bedrooms, living rooms and majlis; kitchen and washing up; bathrooms; laundry and ironing; interior glass; serving guests and clearing up; move-in and move-out cleaning.
- Excludes: cooking full meals; sole care of children or elderly relatives; gardens, external façades and dangerous heights; moving heavy furniture.
- Tools: the maid brings basic cleaning tools, and cleaning products are agreed at booking.
Monthly plans for villas in Irqah
A large villa is hard to keep in order with an occasional visit each month. A better fit is a twice-weekly plan of 4-hour visits from SAR 875, or three visits a week from SAR 1,320 for big households. If the family is small and parts of the villa go unused, one weekly visit from SAR 460 with tasks rotated between floors may be enough. On a plan you can ask for the same maid whenever available, so she gets to know the villa and its instructions.
Cleaning a villa before moving in or after maintenance work
When a family moves into a villa in Irqah, or finishes light maintenance such as new flooring or a repainted room, fine dust is left behind and needs a full visit. An empty villa usually takes two maids for four hours or one maid for eight: cupboards inside, kitchens and bathrooms, windows and doors, then the floors. Paint and cement residue should be removed by the contractor before the visit.
Visit times in Irqah
There are two shifts, morning and evening. Mornings are best for a full clean and for glass in daylight; evenings suit preparing the majlis before guests or families who get back from work in the afternoon. Being near King Saud University and King Khalid University Hospital means some surrounding roads get busy at office hours, and we factor that in when setting the arrival time. The clock starts when the maid comes in.
