Sanitising a kitchen worktop during a Dubai disinfection service

Cleaning, disinfecting and sanitising are three different things

People use the words interchangeably. They are three levels, and the one you need depends on what happened in the property.

Cleaning removes what you can see

Cleaning removes dirt, dust, grease and most germs from a surface with detergent and water. It does not kill what is left behind, but it lowers the count and, just as importantly, it prepares the surface — a disinfectant cannot work through a layer of grime. Every disinfection visit starts with a clean for that reason.

How we disinfect a property

The same five steps whether it is a two-bedroom apartment or a clinic, scaled to the floor area.

  1. 1 inspect and clean

    Inspect and wipe

    The team walks the property, notes the high-touch points and wipes down any dirty surface, because disinfectant does not work through grime.

  2. Steam spray application

    Apply

    A hospital-grade, Dubai Municipality-approved disinfectant is applied with a steam spraying machine to every surface, handle, switch and rail.

  3. 10 min contact time

    Let it work

    The disinfectant needs ten minutes on the surface to do its job. Nothing is touched or wiped during that time.

  4. Wipe no rinse needed

    Wipe wet surfaces

    Any surface still wet is wiped dry. The product needs no rinsing and leaves no residue, so worktops and tables can be used straight away.

  5. 10–15 days of protection

    Protected

    The treatment keeps working on the surface for ten to fifteen days, which is why prevention plans run on a two-week or monthly cycle.

A three-bedroom apartment takes about two hours including the clean. Rooms are usable once the surfaces are dry — usually within an hour of the team leaving. For fogging, the room is closed for the treatment and ventilated afterwards.

Fogging, for whole rooms at once

Disinfectant fogging in a Dubai office before reopening
An office treated by fogging before Monday morning: every desk, chair and handle, in minutes.

For larger spaces — open-plan offices, gyms, shops, classrooms — we use disinfectant foggers. A fogger fills the room with a fine mist of disinfectant that settles on every surface, including the ones a spray cannot reach: under desks, behind equipment, inside fabric. A room is treated in a few minutes, left closed for the contact time, then ventilated and handed back.

The product is a hospital-grade disinfectant approved by Dubai Municipality, effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi and mould, and safe around children and pets once dry. We do not use bleach-based products, so nothing is discoloured and there is no lingering smell. Businesses that need it — clinics, nurseries, food premises, offices after a case of illness — receive a certificate of disinfection for the visit.

Disinfection questions

Anything else, ask on WhatsApp — a person answers, 8 AM to 8 PM.

How long does disinfection take?

About two hours for a three-bedroom apartment including the clean beforehand; a villa takes half a day; an office is quoted by floor area and usually done in one after-hours session. Fogging itself takes minutes per room — the time is in the contact period and ventilation.

Can we stay in the property while you work?

You can stay in rooms that are not being treated. For fogging, the room being treated is closed for the contact time and ventilated afterwards; for steam spray you simply keep out of the room until surfaces are dry.

How soon can we use the room?

Once surfaces are dry — usually within an hour of the team leaving. The product needs no rinsing and leaves no residue, so kitchens and tables can be used straight away.

Is it safe for pets and infants?

Yes, once dry. We use a Dubai Municipality-approved, non-bleach disinfectant chosen for use around children and pets; keep them out of the room while it is wet, as you would with any cleaning product.

How often should a premises be disinfected?

The treatment protects for ten to fifteen days, so fortnightly for clinics, nurseries and gyms, monthly for offices and shops, and one-off for homes after illness or at handover.

Do you provide a certificate of disinfection?

Yes. Offices, clinics, nurseries and food premises receive a dated certificate for each visit, stating the areas treated and the product used. It is included in every prevention plan and available on request for one-off visits.
