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.

Are window sills and mold causing allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a layer of dust and mold settling on the window sills and corners of the living room. My 5-year-old has been complaining about itchy eyes and a runny nose since we got back from holiday, and my husband’s asthma seems to be flaring up more often too. Is there anything specific I should do to address these cleaning allergies in our home?

Are window sills and mold causing allergies? That's a common concern for many families during the rainy season in Dubai/UAE. The moisture from rain can indeed lead to increased levels of dust, mold spores, and other allergens settling on surfaces like window sills and corners of rooms.

In UAE, especially in Dubai, it is important to maintain proper indoor air quality as per local building codes and health guidelines. Mold growth not only affects the aesthetic appeal of your home but can also trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms—like those you're experiencing with your child's itchy eyes and runny nose, and your husband’s worsening asthma.

To address these issues, start by cleaning affected areas thoroughly using a mixture of water and a small amount of detergent. This solution helps in breaking down mold spores effectively. Be sure to dry the surfaces completely afterwards as moisture can lead to further growth. Regularly wiping down windowsills and other hard-to-reach areas with an anti-microbial cleaner might also be beneficial.

However, given that you’ve noticed these issues only after rain, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection to assess the extent of any mold problem and ensure all affected areas are properly treated. Saniservice offers comprehensive mold inspections and remediation services tailored for the UAE market. They can help identify if there's more extensive mold growth behind walls or in less visible areas that might be affecting your family’s health.

Remember, it’s crucial to keep indoor humidity levels low by using dehumidifiers where necessary and ensuring good ventilation. This will prevent future issues with dust and mold.

If you decide not to go for professional help, monitor the situation closely. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a healthcare provider for further advice on managing allergies and asthma.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you want to schedule an inspection or learn more about their services.
