The clip received almost 60,000 views and tons of praises. The nearly one-and-a-half-minute clip elicited people’s admirations and praises due to the cleaners’ skillful and precise movements while doing their work.
“I have seen this with my own eyes during my visit to Makkah for Umrah. The Haram’s floor is always shiny because of their cleaning,” one commented on the video. Another commented, “This is great! I wish I was there to help clean the Haram like they do.”
Saudi local papers pointed out that people’s admiration of the cleaners’ work stems from the fact that around Kaaba it is always crowded, which would make it hard sometimes for them to clean the floor and finish on time, without delaying impending prayers or crowding pilgrims and visitors over the grounds of the Grand Mosque.
“That was pretty fast! They do this all the time? Mashallah,” one commented.
On Twitter, the was tweeted and retweeted several times to more people from all around the world.
“Watch how around Kaaba in Haram the floors are cleaned, and it’s done in minutes!” one user tweeted. Another tweeted, “This must be one of the coolest things I have seen on YouTube, good job.”
Many others shared the link on their Facebook walls and timelines. The clip was reportedly also popular with Web bloggers who wondered if such a phenomenal appearance can be found anywhere else around the world, and if this is indeed unique to Makkah’s Haram.
