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.

Is this green tint on my ceiling mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a greenish tint forming on the ceiling of our bedroom. It started as a small spot but has gradually spread over the past few weeks, despite regular cleaning. The smell in that part of the house is also becoming quite strong and unpleasant. How urgent do you think it is to address this issue, and what steps should I take first?

Yes, it is highly likely that the greenish tint on your ceiling is mold. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce a distinctive musty odor which you are describing.

In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can be quite high, especially after rain or during the monsoon season. This makes your bedroom particularly susceptible to mold growth if there's any moisture issue present. The gradual spread over time indicates that the conditions have been suitable for its development.

It is imperative to take action swiftly as mold not only compromises indoor air quality but also poses health risks, including respiratory issues and allergies. If left untreated, it can lead to more extensive structural damage in your home too.

Firstly, you should assess whether there’s any water leakage or condensation issue that could be contributing to the mold growth. Check for signs of dampness around pipes, windows, or areas where rainwater might enter your room. Addressing these issues promptly will prevent further spread and re-growth of mold.

For professional inspection and remediation, it's advisable to contact a certified environmental service provider like Saniservice who are well-versed with the local regulations in Dubai. They can provide you with a thorough assessment and develop a comprehensive plan tailored for your specific case. Remember that regulations around indoor air quality might vary slightly between different regions of the UAE, so having a professional handle it ensures compliance.

If you decide to take on the task yourself, wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves, mask, and goggles before starting any cleanup activities. Saniservice offers their contact number at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for immediate assistance.

Don't delay in taking care of this issue; the sooner it's addressed, the better for your health and home.
