What is included
Care for fabric, leather, wood, stone, plaster, wallpaper and other wall finishes, each one tested first and cleaned the way its finish needs. Dust carried by the AC settles into fabric panels, flutes and grasscloth, and hands leave marks on leather and metallic paper around switches and doors. No single cleaner suits every wall. We survey the walls, test each finish on a hidden spot and start with dry methods, then use only a product suited to that material, so no wax, oil, lacquer or sealer is stripped.
- Walls dusted with a soft, dry lambswool or microfibre duster
- Scuffs tried first with a soft dry eraser on a test area
- Marks dabbed lightly with clean water, not rubbed
- Touch up advice given, using the original product where you have it
How we carry out limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning
Limewash gives the soft, cloudy texture found in many newer villas in Dubai Hills and on the Palm, and it is meant to be slightly chalky. That is also why it marks. A shoulder brushing past leaves a dark smudge, and a wet cloth rubbed hard polishes the surface into a shiny patch that shows from across the room. Mineral silicate paints are tougher but still porous. The work here is about taking dirt off without changing the surface, so it begins dry.
Dust and cobwebs come off with a soft duster from top to bottom. Scuffs are tried with a soft dry eraser on a test area first. Where a mark needs water, it is dabbed with a clean damp sponge and left to dry, since rubbing is what burnishes limewash. Grease and food marks have usually soaked in, and on limewash the more reliable answer is a touch up rather than cleaning. We advise on that, and our own decorators can carry it out with the original product where you have it.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.
Limewash and Mineral Paint Wall Cleaning in Sheikh Zayed Road: what we plan for
This is the original tower strip of Dubai. Residential, hotel and office towers line both sides of Sheikh Zayed Road between the Trade Centre roundabout and Downtown, among them Emirates Towers, 21st Century Tower, Sama Tower, Park Place Tower and Latifa Tower. Dubai World Trade Centre and One Central form the exhibition and office quarter at the northern end. Behind the towers lie the low rise streets of Al Satwa, the villas of Zabeel and the newer apartment buildings of Wasl 1.
Sheikh Zayed Road carries traffic through every working hour, and its exhaust film coats road facing glass, balcony floors and window sills. It is greasy, so plain water smears it. The same particles are drawn into fresh air intakes and AC filters. Higher floors get less grit but more windblown dust in the door tracks.
Every tower has a management office that issues work permits, checks staff details and books the service lift. The MELLS submits those requests. Loading is from the service road behind the towers, never from Sheikh Zayed Road itself. Villas in Zabeel and Al Satwa are on open streets.

Questions about limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning in Sheikh Zayed Road
What does limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning include?
Limewash and mineral paint walls mark easily and turn shiny when rubbed, so we dust them dry, spot clean very lightly and never scrub them. The work includes walls dusted with a soft, dry lambswool or microfibre duster; scuffs tried first with a soft dry eraser on a test area; marks dabbed lightly with clean water, not rubbed.
Why did the wall go shiny where it was cleaned?
Rubbing limewash, even with a soft cloth, polishes the chalky surface and leaves a sheen that stands out against the matt wall around it. It can settle with time, and a fresh coat of limewash over that section is the reliable fix.
Can marks on limewash be washed off?
Light dust and some scuffs come off with dry methods and a gentle dab of water. Grease, ink and marks that have soaked into the lime usually stay, and a touch up with the same limewash blends in better than trying to clean them.
How much does limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning cost in Sheikh Zayed Road?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning in Sheikh Zayed Road?
The MELLS provides limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning in Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning take?
Typically A few hours for one feature wall, a day or more for a villa. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Will the marks on my wall come out?
Some will and some will not, and we say which before we start. Dirt sitting on the surface usually lifts. Water rings on grasscloth, ink in suede and stains that have soaked into limewash or unsealed stone often stay, and working harder at them only damages the finish around the mark.
Why do you test every finish before cleaning?
Two walls that look alike can be finished quite differently. A wood panel may be lacquered, oiled or waxed, and a stone wall may or may not still be sealed. A small test on a hidden area shows how the surface reacts before the whole wall is touched.
Can you repair lifted wallpaper seams or damaged plaster?
Yes, where it is agreed in the quotation. Our own painters and decorators reglue lifting seams, fill and touch up plaster and limewash, and renew the wax on polished plaster. Replacing a damaged length of wallpaper depends on spare rolls from the same batch.
Do you arrange the building permit in Sheikh Zayed Road?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do you work in the towers on both sides of Sheikh Zayed Road?
Yes. Apartments and offices on both sides are covered, from the Trade Centre end down towards Downtown. The permit and the lift booking are requested from the tower before the crew is confirmed.
How do I choose a company for limewash and mineral paint wall cleaning in Sheikh Zayed Road?
