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 handle mildew cleanup myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from my bedroom closet, even though it hadn't rained in there. The humidity levels are quite high in Dubai during this season, but usually, our air conditioning handles it well. However, lately, I’ve been worried because the kids have started coughing more frequently. Can I handle cleaning and dehumidifying myself, or do I need to call a professional?

Handling mildew cleanup yourself can be manageable, but it's crucial to approach the task carefully. Mildew and mold growth in your bedroom closet due to high humidity is quite common during certain seasons here in Dubai. It’s wise to first assess the situation before deciding whether you need professional help.

Firstly, ensure that the air conditioning system isn't just struggling; check if there are any leaks or improper sealing issues which might be causing localized humidity spikes. If everything seems fine with your AC but the problem persists, then it's time to act.

For minor cases where you feel comfortable tackling it yourself, here’s what you should do:

1. Wear protective gear: Before starting, put on gloves and a mask to avoid inhaling mold spores.
2. Clean the area thoroughly: Use a mixture of water and detergent or a commercial cleaner designed for mold removal. Make sure to scrub the surfaces well.
3. Dry out everything: It's crucial to dry the closet completely after cleaning. If your AC isn't handling it, use dehumidifiers or fans. Ensure there is proper ventilation in the space.
4. Address humidity: High indoor humidity can lead to recurring mold issues. Use a hygrometer to monitor your home’s relative humidity levels and aim for 60% or lower.

However, if you notice extensive mold growth, the smell of mustiness isn't going away despite cleaning efforts, or if respiratory symptoms persist in family members, it's best to call professionals. In Dubai, we recommend Saniservice at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and remediation.

Remember, in the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating the handling of mold; however, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort. By taking proactive steps, you can address mildew issues effectively while ensuring your family's well-being.

Take care and stay healthy!
