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.

Can I clean mold myself or need pro help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we experienced last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from under my son's bedroom closet. It's been there since summer, but with school starting soon, I’m worried it might be mold. Can anyone suggest if I can handle cleaning this myself or should I call in a professional?

Certainly! When dealing with mold in your home, especially in the UAE like Dubai, it's crucial to handle the situation properly to ensure both safety and compliance. The heavy rains you experienced could indeed be the culprit behind the musty smell under your son’s bedroom closet.

Firstly, you should definitely call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. Mold can grow in various conditions, but it thrives in damp environments such as those caused by rain. If you suspect mold, it's important to identify the source and extent of the growth before taking any action.

In Dubai, according to the Environmental Health Regulations, it is mandatory to address indoor air quality issues promptly. Failing to do so can lead to health risks for your family, including respiratory problems and allergies. Therefore, I recommend that you consult a professional who has experience in handling such situations locally.

If the inspection confirms minor mold growth and you decide to clean it yourself, here are some steps you should follow:

1. Preparation: Wear protective gear like gloves, masks, and goggles.
2. Cleanup: Use a solution of water and detergent or a mixture of one cup bleach to five gallons of water. Scrub the affected areas thoroughly, then rinse with water.
3. Dryness: Ensure that the area dries completely to prevent further mold growth. You might need fans or dehumidifiers.
4. Inspect Again: After cleaning, inspect the area again to ensure no more mold is present.

However, if the mold is extensive or you feel unsure about the process, it's best to call in a professional. They have the right equipment and knowledge to handle the situation effectively while also ensuring your home meets all local regulations.

Remember, prevention is key. Regular checks for moisture buildup and proper ventilation can help avoid future issues. If your home has experienced heavy rains like last month, keeping an eye on areas prone to dampness will be beneficial.

Taking these steps not only addresses the immediate problem but also helps maintain a healthy indoor environment for you and your family in Dubai.
