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 clean mold now or wait?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we just had, I noticed a bunch of mold starting to grow around the windowsills and in the corners of my living room. The kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be from all this mold. Should I start cleaning now or wait until things cool down?

Cleaning mold now is indeed the best course of action. The UAE experiences some of its hottest temperatures during summer, which can create ideal conditions for mold growth – especially on surfaces like windowsills and corners where moisture often accumulates. Given your concerns about indoor air quality and potential health impacts on your children, it's wise to address this issue promptly.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that the UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating when to clean mold; however, adhering to best practices is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Mold can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems, so acting sooner rather than later is beneficial.

When tackling this issue, ensure you follow some key steps:

1. Safety First: Wear protective gear including gloves, masks, and goggles before starting the cleaning process to avoid direct contact or inhalation of mold spores.
2. Ventilation: Open windows if possible to allow fresh air into your home. If it’s too hot outside, use fans or dehumidifiers to help reduce moisture levels inside.
3. Identify & Clean Affected Areas: Focus on the areas you’ve noticed mold growth such as around windowsills and corners. Use a solution of water and detergent, or specialized mold cleaning solutions available in local stores. Make sure to scrub gently but thoroughly.
4. Dry Completely: After cleaning, ensure all surfaces are completely dry before closing up the room again. Moisture can lead to regrowth.

It's also recommended that you consider professional help if the situation is more severe, especially when dealing with larger areas or deeper mold infestations. In Dubai and across UAE, companies like Saniservice (you can reach them on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) specialize in such issues and can provide thorough inspections and remediation services.

Remember, maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment is key to avoiding mold problems. Regular checks and proactive measures will help prevent future occurrences. Keep an eye out for any signs of moisture or condensation which could signal potential mold growth areas.

Lastly, if you notice no improvement in your children’s coughing after cleaning, consider consulting with a healthcare professional to rule out other possible causes.
