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.

How often should I check for dust and mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed an awful musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The clothes inside are looking a bit dusty as well, and when I cleaned out some old boxes, I found a few mold spots on the bottom shelf. This can’t be normal for such a clean apartment. How often should I check for dust and mold, especially after storms like this?

Checking for dust and mold is essential to maintain the indoor environmental quality of your home, especially after severe weather conditions like the recent heavy dust storm. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we face a variety of climatic challenges that can lead to increased levels of allergens and pollutants indoors.

After such storms, it's important to take immediate action to assess the situation. A general rule of thumb is to conduct thorough checks at least once every 3-6 months for routine maintenance, but given recent events, you should give your apartment a more detailed inspection right away. This includes checking areas that might be affected by moisture and dust, such as closets, attics, basements (if applicable), bathrooms, and kitchens.

For the musty smell in your bedroom closet and the dusty clothes, it's crucial to address these issues promptly. A quick clean-up should involve removing all items from the closet, airing out the space thoroughly, and inspecting for any visible mold or mildew growth. If you find any spots of mold on the bottom shelf, take care to clean them properly with a solution of water and bleach, ensuring that you wear protective gear like gloves and mask.

Given the UAE’s specific regulations, it's also important to adhere to standards set by bodies such as the Dubai Municipality, which recommend regular cleaning and maintenance practices. However, for more serious cases or if you're unsure about your findings, it would be wise to call in a professional service like 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection. They can provide the necessary expertise and treatments to ensure that your environment is safe and healthy.

Remember, keeping an eye on indoor air quality isn't just about comfort—it's also crucial for preventing potential health issues such as respiratory problems and allergies. Regular inspections and prompt actions can go a long way in maintaining a clean and healthy living space, especially in the dynamic climate of Dubai.
