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 our coworking area?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of mold starting to grow in our coworking area downstairs. We’ve only had guests over there once or twice since moving in two years ago, but now that we have a little niece staying with us for a few weeks, I’m really worried about it. The smell is pretty strong even when the door is closed. Should I be concerned about this?

Absolutely, it’s prudent to take the mold situation seriously. Mold can pose serious health risks especially for young children and elderly folks, which are conditions your niece might fall under. In the UAE like Dubai, humidity levels can vary widely, making environments more susceptible to mold growth.

According to local regulations, all commercial spaces must maintain a safe indoor environment. The UAE Labor Law specifically addresses occupational safety and health, mandating that employers provide a workplace free from recognized hazards, including those caused by mold and other microorganisms. Your coworking area certainly falls under this jurisdiction as it is a shared work space.

Given the severity of the situation with heavy mold growth and noticeable odor, I'd strongly recommend getting a professional inspection done. Saniservice, for example, offers comprehensive inspections and remediation services that comply with UAE standards. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment.

In the meantime, here are some immediate steps you can take:
1. Ensure proper ventilation – open windows if possible and use exhaust fans.
2. Keep surfaces dry by wiping down areas with a damp cloth.
3. Avoid using air conditioning units that might be contributing to high humidity.
4. Seal any visible cracks or leaks in the building.

Remember, prevention is key. Regular inspections can help catch issues early before they become serious problems. Keeping an eye on moisture levels and addressing water damage promptly will also minimize future risks of mold growth.
