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 much does mold remediation typically cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the basement of our condo. It’s only one room down there with some pipes and an old storage box that hasn’t been used in years. Given how wet it got outside, I’m worried about mold developing, but I’m not sure where to start or if we should hire professionals for this. Could someone give me an idea of the costs involved and what kind of services are typically offered?

Hey there,

When it comes to mold remediation costs, they can vary quite a bit depending on the extent of the problem and what needs to be done. In Dubai, you should expect to pay between AED 2000 and AED 8000 for basic mold inspection and remediation. This can go higher if the job is more extensive or involves removal of large areas of affected materials like drywall.

The cost includes all necessary equipment and labor but might not cover every little detail. For example, if there are special issues like asbestos that needs to be handled separately or if the mold has grown in hard-to-reach places, extra work will likely increase your bill.

Typically, professional mold remediation companies in Dubai offer a full suite of services starting from inspection and testing through to cleaning and disinfection. Some may even provide ongoing advice on how to prevent future issues, which could be invaluable given the climate here in UAE.

It's always best to get multiple quotes and ensure that you're comparing apples with apples. Make sure each quote includes all necessary steps such as containment, removal of moldy materials, proper cleaning, and then a final inspection before declaring it clean.

Given your situation with the musty smell in your basement, I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done to rule out any hidden issues. Early detection can save you from bigger problems down the line. Plus, if there is indeed mold, dealing with it properly right away will prevent potential health impacts for you and your family.

If you're unsure or worried about what to do next, don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or shoot us an email to hello@saniservice.com. We'd be more than happy to assist and provide guidance tailored for the UAE market.

Remember, mold can grow fast and cause serious health issues if not addressed promptly. So it's better to act sooner rather than later.

Hope this helps!
