Arab and Gulf majlis seating is an essential part of Saudi home culture. It’s the place where guests are welcomed, family gatherings are held, and social occasions take place. Since the majlis is the first thing guests see upon entering, its cleanliness and the elegance of its upholstery reflect the image of the entire home.
Due to frequent use—and because food and drinks are sometimes served in the majlis—these seating areas are exposed to stains, dust, odors, and fading. Traditional home cleaning methods may offer surface-level cleaning but fail to remove deep buildup, sanitize fabrics, or eliminate odors entirely. This makes professional cleaning an important necessity.
In this article, we provide a specialized guide to the best methods for cleaning Arab majlis seating, explain fabric types and the right cleaning products for each, highlight mistakes that can permanently damage the majlis, and show how Bareeq Clean Home Services provides a professional cleaning process unmatched by standard home methods.
1. Types of Arab Majlis Fabrics — Knowing the Fabric Is Half the Solution
To clean majlis upholstery properly, you must first understand the type of fabric and its inner padding, as each requires a different cleaning method.
1) Cotton Majlis
Easy to clean
Stain easily but respond well to surface treatments
Sensitive to excessive water
2) Velvet Majlis
Luxurious and very common in Gulf homes
Sensitive to water; best cleaned with steam or special foam
Leaves marks if not dried properly
3) Leather Majlis
Very easy to clean
Requires moisturizers and polishers
Cannot tolerate harsh chemicals
4) Chenille and Linen Majlis
Among the most common fabrics
Require balanced cleaning between moisture and foam
Retain odors if not dried thoroughly
5) Silk or Luxury Fabrics
Should only be cleaned by professionals
Easily damaged by regular detergents
2. What Causes Majlis Upholstery to Get Dirty?
Dust buildup on open-weave fabrics
Natural body oils from frequent sitting
Food and drink spills—especially tea and coffee
Odors from carpets, AC units, or smoking
Humidity, which can lead to internal mold
3. Traditional Home Cleaning Methods (Surface-Level Only)
These methods may help with light cleaning but do not address deep dirt:
1) Dry brushing
Removes surface dust only.
2) Light soap cleaning
Useful for small stains, but doesn’t reach deep layers.
3) Vacuuming
Removes external dust only.
4) Vinegar and water mixture
Helps remove odors but is not suitable for all fabrics.
Main drawback:
They do not clean deeply, do not sanitize, do not remove odors completely, and may cause water stains if not dried properly.
4. Professional Majlis Cleaning — What Experts Do That Homes Cannot
1) Fabric Inspection and Assessment
Professionals assess:
Fabric type
Level of dirt
Stain type
Color sensitivity
This is essential for choosing the right cleaning agent.
2) Deep Dust Removal
Using industrial vacuums that reach inside the padding.
3) Pre-Treatment of Stains
Each stain has its own special solution:
tea & coffee stains
grease stains
ink stains
color/dye stains
4) Steam Cleaning
One of the most important steps:
Kills bacteria
Dissolves oils
Opens fabric fibers
Removes odors
5) Foam Cleaning
Suitable for delicate fabrics and uses minimal water.
6) Hot Water Extraction
A machine that extracts water and foam from deep within the fabric, ensuring fast drying.
7) Sanitization
Professionals apply safe sanitizers, especially important for homes with children or pets.
8) Complete Drying
If not dried thoroughly, the majlis may develop:
odors
yellow stains
mild internal mold
Experts use air dryers and industrial blowers.
5. Common Mistakes That Damage Majlis Upholstery
1) Using too much water
Causes:
yellow stains
odors
swelling of inner padding
2) Using harsh chemicals
Leads to:
fabric fading
fiber erosion
loss of color
3) Scrubbing vigorously
Destroys the weave or fabric texture.

Old stains require special pre-treatment—not just general cleaning.
