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 urgent is the mold issue after rains?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange damp smell in the lower level of our villa. It’s particularly noticeable when we open the windows, and it makes my throat feel scratchy. The floor under the kitchen sink seems to be more affected, with some visible mold growth. How urgent is this issue, and what should I do immediately?

The issue you're experiencing sounds quite urgent. Mold growth after heavy rains is a common concern in the UAE, especially during the monsoon season. The damp smell and visible mold under your kitchen sink are clear signs of a potential problem that shouldn't be ignored.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, high humidity levels coupled with recent rains can lead to moisture-related issues like the ones you're facing. Mold not only affects the air quality but can also pose health risks, especially for those with allergies or respiratory conditions such as yourself experiencing a scratchy throat.

Given the visible mold and the damp smell, I recommend that you act promptly. You should call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an immediate inspection by a professional. They can assess the extent of the damage, ensure proper remediation, and provide guidance on preventing future occurrences.

Remember, mold can spread quickly, so it's important not to delay. While you're waiting for Saniservice, you could start addressing some immediate concerns:

1. Increase ventilation: Open windows when possible but make sure to close them before the rain starts.
2. Clean up moisture sources: Use a dehumidifier if available and clean any standing water thoroughly.
3. Address the source of dampness: Check for leaks in pipes or roofs that could be causing the moisture.

Stay safe and take care of your home's health!
