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 can I prevent and clean mold safely?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the closet of our master bedroom. It's been there ever since, even after multiple rounds of cleaning and airing out the space. The humidity seems to be the culprit, but I’m not sure how to properly address it without causing more damage or just masking the issue. How can I effectively clean and prevent mold growth in such areas?

Preventing and cleaning mold safely can be a bit tricky, but with the right approach, it's manageable. In Dubai and UAE, humidity levels can often create ideal conditions for mold growth, especially after rains or heavy condensation. Here are some steps you could take to address your closet issue:

Firstly, i'd suggest calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They have the tools and expertise to identify the extent of any mold problem and recommend suitable solutions.

Once that is sorted out, here are some steps you can take on your own:

Cleaning Mold:
1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows if possible, use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to reduce moisture.
2. Use a solution of one part bleach to ten parts water (or a mold removal cleaner as per instructions) to clean the affected area. Apply with a sponge and let sit for 5-10 minutes before wiping clean.
3. For stubborn areas, try using baking soda or vinegar solutions. Baking soda can be sprinkled on the surface, left for an hour, then vacuumed up. Vinegar is great at breaking down mold but remember to wear gloves as it's acidic.

Preventing Mold:
1. Keep your home well-ventilated: Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, or open windows if weather permits.
2. Address water issues immediately: Leaks can create a breeding ground for mold. Repair any leaks promptly.
3. Lower humidity levels: In Dubai, the air conditioning is your friend! Keeping it on low to moderate settings can help manage indoor moisture. Consider installing dehumidifiers in particularly damp areas.

Remember, prevention is key. Regularly checking for signs of water damage or excessive moisture and addressing them quickly can save a lot of hassle down the line. Don’t forget to check behind furniture and under carpets where mold might be hidden.

Always wear gloves when handling cleaning products and ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after cleaning. If you're unsure about any step, don't hesitate to seek professional advice.
