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 we worry about mold in our coworking space?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange musty smell lingering in the common area of our coworking space. We live on the third floor, and it seems to get worse after people leave for lunch. My family has been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m starting to worry about mold or dust mites. Has anyone else experienced this? What can we do to clean up and improve the air quality in our workspace?

Absolutely, we should worry about mold in our coworking space. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity can be quite high and rain events can trigger mold growth, which could explain the musty smell you've been noticing. Mold not only affects air quality but can also lead to respiratory issues among occupants.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly ASHRAE 62.1-2019 guidelines that are widely followed. These stipulate minimum ventilation rates and acceptable indoor air standards. Given the symptoms your family is experiencing, it's crucial to investigate whether mold is present or if other factors might be at play.

Firstly, it would be wise to call a professional for an inspection. Saniservice, which you can reach via 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com, offers comprehensive mold testing and remediation services. They are familiar with the local environment and can provide accurate assessments.

When dealing with potential mold issues, it's essential to address any water intrusion first. Check for leaky pipes, condensation problems, or other sources of moisture that could be fostering mold growth. Ensure proper ventilation is in place to reduce humidity levels. In Dubai, using air conditioning during cooler months and dehumidifiers can help manage indoor moisture.

For cleaning, use a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water to clean moldy areas. Scrub the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before re-occupying the space. Be cautious though; if the affected area is larger than 30 square feet, you may need professional assistance as extensive remediation might be required.

Lastly, maintain good hygiene practices like regularly cleaning common areas, encouraging proper waste disposal, and ensuring staff are aware of mold prevention measures. Keeping plants in check can also reduce humidity levels, but ensure they're not near moisture-prone areas.

In summary, addressing this issue promptly is key to maintaining a healthy workspace for everyone. Don't hesitate to seek professional help if needed.
