Just finished renovating an older house in Utayqah and the dust is everywhere? Or simply need a hand keeping the home in order each week? Al-Kauther Home Services provides hourly maids in Utayqah, Riyadh, on morning and evening visits. A 4-hour visit starts from SAR 135, and an 8-hour post-renovation clean from SAR 230. To book, call or WhatsApp 0561940026.
Utayqah is a central Riyadh district under the Al Batha sub-municipality, on the southern edge of the old city. It keeps the feel of the old quarters: traditional houses built decades ago, some refitted inside by their owners with heavy curtains, fabric valances and modern gypsum walls, others left much as they were. Looking after this kind of home is not like cleaning a new flat, because a single house can mix an old wall, modern décor and heavy fabrics, and each needs its own approach.

Utayqah, Riyadh: where we serve and why we ask for a pin
We send maids to family houses and flats across Utayqah in central Riyadh, whether the home is a traditional house or a renovated one. Because this is an old quarter, some lanes are narrow and unknown to map apps, and the door the family actually uses may be a side door. So when you book we ask for a map pin and a quick description of the door: its colour, whether it is metal or wood, and any nearby landmark locals would know.
If there is no parking outside, the driver calls a few minutes ahead and drops the maid at the nearest point he can reach, and she walks to your door. Your hours only start once she steps inside, so you never pay for time spent finding the address.
Renovated houses in Utayqah: dust first, details second
Renovation work in an older house leaves a particular kind of dust: fine gypsum and paint powder that settles on floors, window ledges and the tops of doors, and reappears after the first wipe if the clean is done in the wrong order. So the maid works from top to bottom: light fittings, shelves and door tops first, then walls and the inside of windows, then furniture, and finally the floors, vacuumed and then mopped.
A single-storey traditional house after a light refit usually needs a 6-hour visit, from SAR 200. If the whole house has been redone, with a majlis, a living room and several bedrooms, an 8-hour visit from SAR 230 is the better fit, or two maids for 4 hours from SAR 290 to finish sooner. Leftover paint spots on tiles are tackled with a suitable cleaner, but the maid will not scrape surfaces with sharp tools.
Curtains, valances and gypsum walls: care without damage
Many renovated homes in Utayqah keep the look of a classic majlis: heavy curtains under fabric valances, with satin swags finished in tassels. These fabrics hold more dust than any other surface in the house, and if they are neglected they lose their colour and turn stiff.

The maid vacuums the valance on low suction with the brush head, then rearranges the swags and tassels so they hang evenly. For a high valance she uses a steady household step ladder provided by the home, never a chair or the arm of a sofa. Heavy curtains go in the washing machine only if the fabric allows it and they come down easily; anything else is best left to a laundry.
A TV wall made of gypsum panels with raised waves needs a different technique. Dust collects along the top edge of every wave, and a wet cloth leaves grey streaks on the white gypsum. So the maid starts with a soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth, working along each wave in turn.

Fingerprints or small marks on the gypsum are wiped with a cloth that is only slightly damp and well wrung out, without rubbing, and with the screen switched off. The maid keeps clear of the screen cables and any lighting hidden in the wall, and never sprays liquid onto electrical parts.
Hourly maid prices in Utayqah
These are the same starting prices we use in every Riyadh district; the final price depends on the hours, the number of maids, the size of the home and the timing:
These are the starting prices set by Al-Kauther Home Services for hourly maids in Riyadh.
A rough example: a family in Utayqah has just refitted its living room and majlis. They book an 8-hour visit from SAR 230 to clear the renovation dust, then move to a package of 4 visits a month from SAR 460 to keep the house in shape. Any difference for evening, Friday or holiday slots is confirmed when you book.
Choosing the visit length for your Utayqah home
Treat the table as a starting estimate. If the house has a lot of fabrics that need care, a backlog of laundry and ironing, or more than two bathrooms, tell us when you book so we can suggest the right length rather than run out of hours before the jobs are done.
What the visit includes, and what it leaves out
In your Utayqah home the hourly maid takes care of the following, in the order of priority you give her at the start of the visit:
- ✓ Bedrooms, majlis and living areas cleaned; rugs and floor cushions vacuumed.
- ✓ Kitchen cleaned, dishes washed and cupboards tidied inside.
- ✓ Bathrooms, basins and mirrors cleaned.
- ✓ Laundry, ironing and putting clothes away.
- ✓ Windows and glass wiped on the inside.
- ✓ Hospitality set-up, help with serving at occasions, and the clean-up afterwards.
- ✓ Preparing for Ramadan and Eid, and cleaning a home when moving in or out.
- ✗ Cooking full meals; the maid can help prepare ingredients and clean the kitchen.
- ✗ Looking after children or elderly relatives on her own; children stay with the family during the visit.
- ✗ Hosing down large yards, gardens, roofs and exterior facades.
- ✗ Moving heavy furniture or clearing building waste.
We ask that a woman of the house be around while the maid is working. She brings the basic cleaning tools; cleaning products are as agreed at booking.
Mornings for heavy work, evenings for tidying
The morning shift suits post-renovation cleans and long 6- or 8-hour visits best: daylight shows up dust on gypsum and glass, and there is time to finish the whole house without rushing. The evening shift suits families who work in the morning, and works well for 2- to 4-hour visits focused on tidying, laundry and ironing.
If you plan regular visits, choose a fixed day each week and a fixed arrival time. After the first visit the driver knows the way to your door, and the maid gets to know how your home is organised.
Repeat visits on a monthly package
After the big clean, an older house still needs steady care so the dust does not settle back into the fabrics and décor. A monthly package is a set of hourly visits spread over the month: 4 visits × 4 hours from SAR 460, 8 visits from SAR 875 and 12 visits from SAR 1,320. Package customers can request the maid they already know, subject to her schedule.
Before the maid arrives: small steps that save time
If the renovation is recent, open the windows an hour before the visit to let the paint smell clear, and make sure the contractor has taken away leftover materials. Let us know if the house has a narrow staircase or a home lift to the upper floor, so we can plan the time accurately.
