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 can I prevent window sill mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and mold growth around the window sills in my bedroom. The smell is quite unpleasant, and it seems to worsen every time there’s even a slight increase in humidity. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, what steps can I take to prevent further mold growth and maintain better indoor air quality?

Hey there! Mold growth around window sills can be quite frustrating, especially considering the UAE's climate. Given your situation and the persistent dampness you've noticed over two years, it might be wise to get a professional inspection first. In Dubai, we follow some specific regulations which are in line with international standards to ensure healthy indoor environments. However, I'll provide some practical steps for you to consider before calling in the experts.

Firstly, ensure that your windows and window sills are properly sealed against drafts and moisture. Check if there's any gaps or cracks where water might seep through during rain. A good seal can go a long way in preventing such issues.

Next, it’s important to keep humidity levels down. In Dubai, the climate can be quite humid, especially after rains. Use dehumidifiers if needed and ensure that they’re placed away from walls and windows to prevent any condensation. Aim for an indoor relative humidity level of 40-50%. A hygrometer can help you monitor these levels.

Ventilation is key too. Even though Dubai’s climate might not seem humid, proper ventilation helps in removing moisture-laden air. Open windows when possible, or use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove excess moisture.

Cleaning affected areas thoroughly with a mixture of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can help eliminate mold growth. Be sure to wear gloves and mask during this process for your safety. Scrubbing the area well will prevent spores from spreading.

Lastly, addressing any underlying issues causing excess moisture is crucial. Check if your building’s drainage system or roof are in good condition. If there's a leak or water ingress issue, it needs to be fixed promptly to stop mold growth at its root.

Remember, if you’re unsure about the extent of the problem or how to proceed, contacting a professional service like Saniservice can provide peace of mind and ensure that your indoor air quality remains top-notch. Give us a call on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or shoot an email to hello@saniservice.com for expert advice.

Hope this helps!
