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.

Should I treat this mold myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a greenish tint on the ceiling of my living room. It's only in one corner, but it’s growing and starting to look alarming. Should I hire professionals to handle this, or is there something simpler I can do myself?

When you spot mold in your living room, it's definitely a cause for concern. In the UAE, mold can pose health risks and structural damage to buildings. Given that you've noticed a greenish tint growing on your ceiling, especially if it’s spreading, it would be wise to seek professional assistance sooner rather than later.

Firstly, keep in mind that while some molds are not harmful, others can cause respiratory issues or allergic reactions—especially for those with pre-existing conditions such as asthma. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen cases where improper handling of mold could lead to complications. Therefore, it’s recommended you call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection.

That said, if the area is small and you’re confident in your ability to handle it safely, there are some DIY steps you can take:

1. Prevent Moisture: Ensure that the area remains dry. Open windows or use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
2. Wear Protective Gear: If you decide to tackle this yourself, wear gloves and mask. Ventilate well to avoid breathing in spores.
3. Clean Thoroughly: Use a mixture of water and detergent to clean the affected area. Scrub gently with a brush or sponge. Be sure to get under any moldy corners or edges.
4. Disinfect: After cleaning, apply a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water to kill remaining spores.

However, remember that dealing with larger areas, especially if there are health concerns, is best left to professionals who have the proper equipment and experience to ensure complete remediation without causing further damage or health risks. In Dubai, it’s also important to comply with building codes which may require specific methods for mold removal depending on the extent of contamination.

So, while you can take initial steps to manage the situation yourself, always err on the side of caution when it comes to mold in your home. After all, your health and safety are paramount!
