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 worry about greenish hue and musty smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a weird greenish hue on the ceiling of our master bedroom. It’s only in one corner but it’s spreading slowly. The smell is also pretty bad, musty and damp. How urgent should I be about this? Should I call someone immediately or can I wait a few days to see if it gets worse?

Absolutely, the greenish hue and musty smell in your master bedroom ceiling should be taken seriously. This could indicate the presence of mold, which can pose health risks especially for those who are sensitive to allergens or have respiratory issues.

In the UAE, including Dubai, mold growth is quite common due to our warm and humid climate, particularly after heavy rains as you mentioned. The greenish color you see suggests a likely mold colony developing in your ceiling corner. Mold spores can spread rapidly, so it's important not to ignore this issue. The musty smell also points towards the presence of dampness, which is ideal for mold growth.

Given that we're dealing with potentially hazardous health concerns, professional inspection and remediation services are recommended. In Dubai, you might want to consider calling 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment and appropriate action.

Typically, mold can release spores into the air which may cause allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. For some individuals, exposure to molds can trigger asthma symptoms. Therefore, it's not advisable to delay addressing this issue; especially given the slow but steady spread of the greenish hue.

Remember, mold remediation should be handled by professionals who are equipped with the right tools and knowledge. They will ensure that the affected area is properly treated, preventing further growth and minimizing health risks for your family.

If you decide to take immediate action, start by ensuring good ventilation in the room, if possible. Avoid using fans directly over the affected area as this might disperse mold spores around the room. Also, avoid cleaning or wiping the moldy surface as this can spread the contamination.

In summary, do not hesitate to contact professional services for a detailed inspection and remediation. Early intervention can help prevent further damage and protect your health.
