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 urgent is this mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. When I checked, there was some greenish mold growing on the back wall behind the shelves where I store winter clothes. It doesn’t look like much now, but it’s spreading slowly. How urgent is this issue and what should I do right away?

The mold growth you've noticed in your bedroom closet is definitely something to address promptly. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience varying levels of humidity due to our climate. This can lead to moisture accumulation, especially after rain events like the one last month. Mold growth on the back wall behind your shelves could be a sign that moisture has been present for some time.

Firstly, it's crucial not to underestimate the potential risks associated with mold in your home. Not only does it produce an unpleasant musty smell but also, in some cases, can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems. Given the UAE’s regulations, which mandate property owners to ensure a safe living environment, addressing this issue is important.

The first step should be to stop moisture from further entering or building up where you've observed mold growth. Check for any leaks or dampness around pipes, windows, or doors that could be contributing to the problem. If you find these, take immediate action to fix them. Use a dehumidifier in affected areas if needed to reduce humidity levels.

You should also clean the visible mold using appropriate anti-fungal cleaning solutions. Be sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and mask when handling chemicals. Scrubbing with a mixture of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) can be effective, but ensure proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines.

However, given the potential severity and considering that mold remediation involves specific techniques and knowledge, it's highly recommended to call in professionals for an inspection and remediation. At Saniservice, we offer professional mold inspection services tailored to the UAE market. Our experts can assess the extent of the damage, recommend appropriate cleaning methods, and ensure your home meets all local health and safety standards.

If you're unsure about how to proceed or if the situation seems more complex than a simple clean-up, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help. Call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to ensure your home is safe and healthy.

Remember, prompt action can prevent the mold from spreading further and potentially causing more serious issues down the line.
