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 worry about mold under my air conditioner?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming under the central air conditioning unit in the living room. The area around it feels unusually cool to the touch, which might be related, but I’m worried about mold growth. How can I prevent this from happening or recurring?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold under your air conditioner. Mold growth can occur due to moisture accumulation, which is common after rain or heavy dew periods especially in the UAE where humidity levels can fluctuate significantly between day and night.

In Dubai/UAE, it's a well-known fact that our climate conditions are conducive to such issues, making it crucial to maintain proper indoor environmental quality. According to the Building Control Department in Dubai, any dampness or moisture around HVAC units should be addressed promptly to avoid mold growth, which can pose health risks and lead to structural damage over time.

Firstly, ensure you have a professional inspection done if you haven't already. Our team at Saniservice has seen numerous cases where such areas are prone to mold growth due to poor ventilation or water seepage from the unit itself. A quick call to 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com can help us assess the situation and provide a thorough cleaning and prevention plan.

To prevent mold, start by ensuring proper drainage around your AC unit; make sure there's no standing water nearby that could seep in. Regularly inspect the area under the unit for any signs of moisture, leaks, or condensation build-up. If you notice any issues, take immediate action to address them.

Additionally, consider installing a dehumidifier in the living room if it’s not already present. This can help maintain a drier environment and reduce the chances of mold growth. Keeping the area well-ventilated by opening windows (when safe) or using exhaust fans can also be beneficial.

If you have any questions about your specific situation, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help ensure that your indoor environment remains healthy and safe for you and your family.
