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 mold in my play area?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the corner of our living room, which we use as an extra play area for my kids. It's concerning because they’ve been coughing more frequently lately, especially when we’re inside with the windows closed. Is there a specific cleaning routine or product you recommend to address mold and ensure it doesn’t affect their health?

Absolutely, it's totally understandable to be concerned about mold in your play area. Mold can indeed cause health issues, especially for kids who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems. In the UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold control that you should keep in mind.

First things first, if the musty smell is persistent or you notice any visible signs of mold like black spots or fuzzy growths, it's wise to get a professional inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help with detailed assessments ensuring that no hidden areas are missed. Their services comply with local standards and can provide peace of mind.

For now, here’s what you can do:

1. Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation by opening windows when the weather allows or using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels in your play area. This is especially important after rainy days like the one that caused concern for you.

2. Cleaning:
- Use a mixture of water and vinegar (1 part water, 3 parts white vinegar) on surfaces where mold is visible. Vinegar is known for its natural mold-fighting properties.
- For tougher stains or larger areas, consider baking soda mixed with water to form a paste and apply it directly before scrubbing lightly.

3. Preventive Measures:
- Regularly check the area for any leaks in pipes or windows that might be contributing to excess moisture.
- Place absorbent materials like activated charcoal around the room; they can help absorb dampness and unpleasant odors.

4. Maintenance: Keep an eye out for any signs of water damage such as peeling paint, bubbling wallpaper, or discolored patches on walls. Address these issues promptly to prevent mold growth.

Remember, while DIY solutions can be effective in addressing visible mold, it’s essential to ensure that the area is thoroughly dried and cleaned. Persistent moisture can lead to regrowth, so maintaining a dry environment is key.

If you find that mold persists or your kids' symptoms don’t improve after cleaning efforts, it might be time to call in professionals like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a comprehensive inspection and remediation plan tailored specifically to the UAE’s climate conditions.

Stay vigilant and proactive – your child's health is paramount.
