Water Tank Cleaning and Steam Cleaning in Dubai
The water you shower, cook and brush your teeth with sits in a tank before it reaches the tap. We drain, scrub and disinfect rooftop and underground tanks so that water stays clean. We also steam clean sofas, mattresses, carpets, kitchens and AC grilles with high-temperature dry steam, leaving no chemicals behind.
What's included
- Full draining and sludge removal from rooftop and underground tanks
- Scrubbing of walls, floor and lid to remove scale and biofilm
- Disinfection with approved products, followed by thorough rinsing
- Refilling and a check of the inlet, overflow and lid seal
- Dry steam cleaning of sofas, mattresses and carpets
- Steam degreasing of kitchens, hobs and extractor hoods
- Steam cleaning of AC grilles and diffusers
- Chemical-free steam treatment, suitable for homes with children and pets
When to book tank or steam cleaning
- Tap water looks cloudy or discoloured, or carries sediment
- The water has an unusual taste or smell
- You have moved into a villa and do not know when the tank was last cleaned
- The tank lid is cracked or loose, letting in dust and insects
- Sofas, mattresses or carpets smell stale or set off allergies
- Kitchen surfaces and hoods are coated in stubborn grease
How we do it
Every job is supervised by a team leader and finished with a report you can keep.
Inspect
We check the tank, lid, inlet and overflow, or the furniture and surfaces to be steamed, and agree the scope with you.
Drain and desludge
The tank is isolated and drained, and the sludge and sediment that have settled on the floor are removed.
Scrub and disinfect
Walls and floor are scrubbed, disinfected and rinsed until the water runs clear.
Refill and check
The tank is refilled, the lid is secured and we confirm the supply to the property is running normally.
Steam clean
For steam jobs, high-temperature dry steam lifts dirt and grease from fabrics and surfaces and leaves them almost dry.
Why water tanks need regular cleaning in Dubai
Most villas and many buildings in Dubai store water in rooftop or underground tanks. Over time, fine sand finds its way in through lids and vents, settles on the floor and forms sludge. Rooftop tanks sit in direct sun, and warm, still water encourages biofilm on the walls. You may not notice any of this at the tap until the water turns cloudy or starts to smell.
Dubai Municipality guidelines call for water tanks to be cleaned regularly by approved companies, and airnuvia is approved by Dubai Municipality. We drain the tank fully, remove the sludge, scrub the surfaces, disinfect, rinse and refill. We also check lid seals and overflow screens, since gaps let in dust and insects. For landlords, regular cleaning is a simple way to protect tenants.
Steam cleaning without chemicals
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature dry steam to loosen dirt, grease and stains. Because dry steam carries very little water, sofas, mattresses and carpets are left almost dry rather than soaked, which matters in a humid city where damp fabric quickly turns musty. The heat also helps kill dust mites and bacteria deep in upholstery, without leaving detergent residue behind.
In kitchens, steam cuts through baked-on grease on hobs, tiles and extractor hoods. On AC grilles and diffusers, it lifts the grey film that Dubai dust leaves behind. Because no chemicals are used, steam cleaning suits homes with babies, pets or allergy sufferers, and food areas where residues are a concern. It pairs well with bio disinfection or an AC deep clean.

More questions and answersHow long does water tank cleaning take?
Most villa rooftop tanks are done within a few hours, including draining, sludge removal, scrubbing, disinfection and refilling. Larger underground tanks in residential and commercial buildings take longer and are scheduled to keep disruption to occupants low. The water supply from the tank is interrupted during the job, so we agree a convenient time with you in advance.
Do I need to be at home during tank cleaning?
Not necessarily, as long as we have safe access to the tank and the supply valves. You may want to be there at the start so we can show you the condition of the tank before we clean it. It is also worth filling a few containers with water for drinking and cooking until the tank has been refilled.
Is steam cleaning safe for all fabrics?
Steam suits most upholstery, mattresses and carpets, but some delicate fabrics, leather and certain finishes do not tolerate heat or moisture well. We check the care labels and test a hidden area first. If an item is not suitable for steam, we tell you before we start rather than risk damage, and suggest a gentler way to clean it.
Can I book tank cleaning and steam cleaning together?
Yes. We can plan both in the same visit, so you only need to arrange one appointment. It is a sensible combination when moving into a villa, as the tank and the soft furnishings are both unknown quantities. Tell us what you need when you book the free inspection, and we will plan the work and timing around your home.
