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 should I clean up mold on nursery bookcase?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in our nursery that wasn't there before. It's on the bottom shelf of the bookcase by the changing table, where we keep all the baby supplies. The wood feels wet to the touch and there are some spots of mold forming. What steps should I take right away to clean this up properly?

When dealing with mold growth in your nursery bookcase, it's important to act promptly and safely. Mold can pose health risks, especially for young children, and the UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality that must be adhered to.

First things first, ensure you have all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, a face mask, and eye protection before starting any cleanup. In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to keep these safety measures in mind as per local health and safety standards.

Begin by gently removing the affected items from the bookcase to avoid spreading mold spores further. Place them on clean towels or plastic sheeting nearby. If you suspect the moisture is coming from a leaking pipe or other serious issue, contact your building management immediately for professional inspection. In Dubai, it’s also wise to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further guidance and support.

Next, mix a solution of 1 cup of bleach with one gallon of water. This mixture can be used to clean the affected areas. Apply it carefully using a spray bottle or a sponge. Ensure you cover all moldy spots thoroughly but do not over saturate the wood as too much moisture might exacerbate the problem.

Let the solution sit for about 10-15 minutes before scrubbing gently with a stiff brush, if necessary. Then rinse the area with water and dry it completely with clean cloths or air dry naturally. It’s essential to ensure the bookcase is fully dried out as moisture can lead to further mold growth.

After cleaning, consider using a dehumidifier in the nursery to maintain appropriate humidity levels; this is especially important in Dubai's climate which has varying humidity throughout the year. Regular monitoring and maintenance of such systems will help prevent future issues.

Lastly, reorganize your baby supplies carefully after the cleanup. Ensure proper ventilation and storage practices are followed. Remember that keeping the environment clean and dry is key to preventing mold growth.

Taking these steps should help mitigate the current issue but if you notice any recurring problems or health concerns for your child, do not hesitate to seek professional assistance.
