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 airborne mold after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed an odd musty smell coming from my bedroom closet. The storm hit on Monday, and by Tuesday evening, the smell was quite noticeable. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing ever since. How urgent is it to clean up this airborne issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about airborne mold after dust storms. Dust storms can carry spores from outside into your home and these can settle on damp areas creating the perfect environment for mold to grow. In dubai, we have experienced a few dust storms this year, so it's not uncommon.

The musty smell and kids' complaints of coughing and sneezing are classic signs of indoor air quality issues. Mold thrives in warm, humid conditions - something that is rather common post-dust storm given the increased moisture levels in the air.

Firstly, you should immediately clean any visible mold or mildew in your closet. Use a solution of water and detergent to scrub away any fungal growth. Ensure you wear gloves and a mask while doing this to avoid inhaling spores.

Second, it's crucial to address any potential sources of moisture that could be fueling the mold growth. Check if there are leaks around pipes or windows in your bedroom or closet. If you notice dampness on walls or ceilings, consider calling a professional for advice and possibly some repairs.

If the smell persists despite cleaning, it might indicate deeper issues like hidden mold behind furniture or within the walls. In such cases, it's highly recommended to seek a professional inspection by contacting us at 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for an evaluation and remediation plan.

Given that dust storms are common in our region, maintaining indoor air quality is critical. Regular checks for mold growth, especially after significant weather events like dust storms, can help prevent health issues for you and your family.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance or have concerns about the air quality in your home. We're here to help!
