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 handle mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a few patches of mold starting to grow behind the baseboards in our living room. It’s not too bad yet, but it definitely needs attention before it spreads. Should I try to handle this myself or is it better to call a professional?

Handling mold can be a tricky task, especially given the recent rains that might have caused an increase in humidity around your living space. While it's understandable to want to take care of issues yourself, dealing with mold in Dubai requires a bit more than just a do-it-yourself approach.

Firstly, understanding the regulations is important. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the Environmental Health Regulations set guidelines for indoor air quality and mold management. Ignoring these can lead to health risks for you and your family, as well as possible legal issues if mold growth leads to structural damage or other complications.

The patches of mold behind baseboards that you've noticed are a sign that moisture is present, which is common after heavy rains in Dubai's climate. However, given the potential for spread and the need for proper remediation techniques, it’s highly recommended to call in a professional. Professionals like those at Saniservice have the necessary expertise, equipment, and knowledge to safely assess and treat mold growth.

If you decide to proceed with DIY measures, start by addressing the moisture issue – perhaps by using dehumidifiers or ensuring good ventilation. Clean affected areas with bleach or another suitable mold cleaner. But be cautious: improper handling can spread spores, leading to a bigger problem than what you started with.

Saniservice offers professional inspection and remediation services that comply with UAE standards. Their team will assess the situation, eliminate the mold safely, and provide recommendations for preventing future growth. If you're in need of their services, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, tackling mold effectively means understanding its causes and having proper methods to deal with it. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance if you're unsure about how to proceed.
