Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

How can I remove black spots from my walls?« Back to Previous Page

My living room has started to develop these odd black spots on the walls, especially in the corners and around the windows. We've lived in our apartment in Jumeirah for about three years, and I only noticed them after the humidity picked up last month. I've tried wiping them down with a damp cloth, but they keep coming back. What’s the best way to clean these off and prevent them from returning?

Black spots on your walls, particularly in areas with high humidity such as corners and around windows, are often indicative of mold growth. This is a common issue in the UAE, especially in the summer months when humidity levels can rise significantly.

To effectively remove these spots, start by ensuring you are using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and a mask, as mold spores can be harmful when inhaled or touched. Here’s a practical step-by-step approach to addressing the issue:

1. Identify the Source of Humidity: Before cleaning, it's crucial to identify and mitigate the source of excess moisture in your living space. This could be due to poor ventilation, leaks, or high outdoor humidity levels. Consider using a dehumidifier to maintain indoor humidity levels below 60%, which helps prevent mold growth.

2. Cleaning the Affected Areas: For cleaning, a solution of water and mild detergent can be effective for light mold. Mix one cup of detergent with one cup of water and scrub the affected areas with a soft brush or cloth. If the mold persists, you may need a stronger solution—mix one cup of bleach with a gallon of water. However, ensure the area is well-ventilated, as bleach fumes can be harmful.

3. Prevent Future Growth: After cleaning, it's important to take preventive measures. Ensure that your living room is well-ventilated; open windows when the humidity outside is lower, and consider using exhaust fans. Regularly check for leaks around windows and doors, and address any water damage promptly.

4. Regular Maintenance: Regularly inspect your walls for any signs of mold or moisture. If you notice a reoccurrence, it may indicate a more serious underlying issue that needs professional attention.

In cases where the mold covers a large area (typically more than 1 square meter) or if you have health concerns, it’s advisable to seek professional inspection and remediation services. Given the specific regulations in the UAE regarding mold and indoor air quality, a qualified professional can ensure that the issue is addressed safely and effectively.

For immediate assistance, you can reach out to experts in mold remediation. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for professional support tailored to your needs. Taking action promptly can help to maintain a healthy indoor environment for you and your family.
