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.

Is this new dust on my balcony safe to clean?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a layer of fine, almost invisible dust settling on everything inside my balcony. It's like nothing I’ve ever seen before—light as a feather but thick enough to catch light when the sun hits it. This dust isn’t just floating around; it’s stuck to surfaces and seems to attract more whenever we open a window. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or could this be due to mold spores from the rain? How can I effectively clean this without damaging my furniture or fixtures?

Hello there! It's quite common to see changes in the environment after significant rainfall like we experienced last month. The fine dust you're describing could indeed be due to mold spores carried by water droplets or wind following heavy rains. In dubai, we've seen similar instances where natural elements can introduce unique types of dust into our living spaces.

Firstly, it's important to understand that not all cleaning methods are created equal when dealing with this kind of dust. For instance, if the dust is indeed mold spores, using a damp cloth or traditional vacuum cleaners might disperse the spores in the air making them easier for you and your family to inhale.

I'd recommend starting with a gentle approach: use a soft-bristled brush to loosen any loose particles from furniture and surfaces. Then, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe down areas. Microfiber cloths are great because they trap dust without leaving streaks or marks on surfaces.

For more stubborn spots, you can consider using a mild soap solution (like a quarter cup of dishwashing liquid in a gallon of water) to clean hard surfaces. Just ensure that the solution is diluted and avoid spraying directly onto your furniture as this might cause damage. Always dry surfaces thoroughly after cleaning to prevent any moisture build-up which could encourage mold growth.

If you're unsure or if the dust seems particularly persistent, it's wise to seek professional assistance. Here in dubai, companies like saniservice provide thorough mold inspections and remediation services that can help identify whether your issue is just due to dust or more serious issues like mold colonies.

Remember, if you do call for a professional inspection, ensure they are licensed and have the right equipment to handle such situations safely and effectively. In dubai, it's common practice to check with authorities like the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) for guidance on safe practices.

Lastly, maintaining good indoor air quality by keeping windows closed during windy or rainy conditions can prevent similar issues in the future. If you need any more info or help, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.
