You get your home back without giving up your traditions. The sticky resin buildup that regular cleaning companies can’t touch disappears completely from your walls, fabrics, and air systems.
Your guests feel comfortable visiting again. No more apologizing for persistent odors or worrying about complaints from neighbors in your Stratford community. The heavy, oily residue that attracts dust and makes everything feel grimy gets eliminated at the source.
Most importantly, you can continue enjoying your oud burning knowing you have a reliable solution that understands both the chemistry involved and the cultural significance of what you’re doing.
Team Alpha Cleaning Services specializes in what regular house cleaning services in Stratford avoid entirely. We understand that oud smoke behaves differently than cigarette smoke, and that the resin creates challenges most cleaners have never encountered.
We’re a family-run operation of young female entrepreneurs who’ve built our reputation on understanding what homeowners actually need when standard methods fail. No judgment about your cultural practices or personal preferences – just effective results that let you enjoy your space again.
Serving Stratford families who want to maintain their traditions without compromising their home environment, we respect what these practices mean to you while solving the practical problems they create.
First, we assess which surfaces and materials have absorbed the most oud residue throughout your Stratford home. This tells us which cleaning approach works best for each area and helps us target hidden accumulation spots other companies miss.
Next comes the actual removal process using professional-grade solutions that break down resin compounds without damaging your belongings. We’re not covering up the scent with stronger fragrances – we’re removing the source particles that create lingering odors.
Finally, we treat the air itself with specialized equipment that captures remaining microscopic particles, including cleaning your HVAC system components where smoke residue builds up and recirculates. You’ll notice the difference immediately, but the real test comes over the following days when odors don’t return.

Your Arabic oud cleaning service covers every surface where smoke particles settle. We clean walls, ceilings, fabrics, carpets, and upholstery using methods specifically designed for resin-based residue that won’t damage your belongings.
Air purification runs throughout the process, using HEPA filtration to capture airborne particles while we work on surfaces. We also clean and treat your HVAC system components to prevent old odors from redistributing through your home – something many Stratford residents don’t realize is cycling oud particles long after burning stops.
Each service includes protective treatments for valuable rugs, furniture, and fabrics so future oud burning doesn’t cause permanent damage. First-time customers receive our new client discount because we want you to experience what specialized cleaning makes possible compared to generic approaches that don’t work.
Arabic oud creates thick, oily resin when burned that’s completely different from regular incense or candle smoke. This agarwood resin sticks to surfaces and penetrates deep into fabrics, creating buildup that standard cleaning products can’t remove.
Regular house cleaning will just move the residue around or temporarily mask the odors with air fresheners. We use specialized solutions designed specifically for breaking down agarwood compounds and removing them completely, not just covering them up.
Most importantly, we understand where oud particles settle and accumulate in homes, so we target the right areas with the right techniques for complete removal instead of missing the hidden sources that keep odors coming back.
Absolutely not. We respect that burning Arabic oud is part of your cultural or spiritual practices, and we’d never ask you to stop. Our cleaning process is designed so you can continue using oud while maintaining a fresh-smelling home.
Our team receives specific training on cultural sensitivity around oud and incense practices. We understand these aren’t just “air fresheners” but important cultural, religious, and spiritual traditions that deserve respect.
We never suggest you stop your practices – instead, we provide solutions that let you continue them while maintaining a fresh home environment. Many clients find they can actually enjoy their oud burning more after professional cleaning because the air quality is better and odors don’t become overwhelming.
Most families who burn oud regularly benefit from professional cleaning every 2-3 months, depending on usage frequency and home ventilation. If you burn oud daily, monthly cleaning prevents heavy buildup that becomes harder to remove.
Occasional users might only need service 2-3 times per year. The frequency really depends on your ventilation, how much you burn, and your sensitivity to accumulated odors in your specific Stratford home.
We’ll assess your situation during the first visit and recommend a schedule that keeps your home fresh without unnecessary expense. Some clients prefer regular maintenance cleaning, while others call when they notice odors returning – both approaches work fine.
In most cases, yes. Arabic oud residue looks permanent, but it can usually be removed with the right techniques and products. We’ve successfully cleaned carpets, upholstery, curtains, and furniture that families thought were ruined.
The key is using solutions that break down the agarwood resin instead of trying to scrub it out, which just pushes it deeper into fibers. Our cleaning methods are specifically designed to be safe for all household items, including delicate fabrics, wood furniture, and cultural artifacts.
Before starting any treatment, we test our products in inconspicuous areas and discuss any special concerns you have about particular items. We use pH-balanced solutions that target aromatic residues without harsh chemicals that could damage surfaces.
Yes, and this is crucial for complete Arabic oud cleaning. The resinous smoke gets pulled into your HVAC system and then blown back out into rooms you’ve already cleaned. That’s why many people feel like odors return so quickly after regular cleaning attempts.
We clean air ducts, vents, and filters where oud residue accumulates. This prevents the system from continuously recirculating those heavy scents throughout your Stratford home. It’s one of the most important steps that other cleaning services miss entirely.
Many local residents are surprised to learn their air system was cycling oud particles long after burning stopped. HVAC cleaning prevents clean rooms from getting re-contaminated by odors blowing through your vents, which is essential for lasting results.
Pricing depends on your home size and the extent of odor buildup, but most residential oud cleaning projects range from $200-500 for complete treatment. This includes surface cleaning, fabric treatment, air purification, and HVAC system cleaning – not just spraying air freshener and calling it done.
We offer first-time customer discounts to make it easier to try our specialized service. Consider that professional odor removal protects your security deposit, prevents potential lease issues, and eliminates the ongoing cost of air fresheners and home remedies that don’t actually work.
Most clients are surprised how affordable it is compared to replacing furniture or losing rental deposits. We provide detailed quotes after seeing your space because factors like square footage, number of rooms where oud was burned, and specific requirements all affect final pricing.
