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.

Could green slime be mold causing allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange greenish slime growing on the windowsills of our bedroom. My kids have also been complaining of sneezing fits lately. Could this be mold, or is it something else? Can I handle cleaning this up myself, or should I call in a professional?

Could green slime be mold causing allergies?

G'day there! I've been getting some queries regarding greenish slime appearing on the windowsills of homes after a bit o' rain. It's indeed possible that this could be mold, but it might not just be that. Mold can grow in various conditions and is pretty common here in Dubai due to the high humidity post-rain events.

Now, when it comes to allergies, sneezing fits by your kids sound like they may be experiencing some allergic reactions. In Dubai, we're aware of several types of mold that could cause respiratory issues, particularly for children. The most common ones are Cladosporium and Penicillium, which often thrive in damp areas.

You might wonder if you can handle this cleaning yourself or if it's best to call in a professional. Well, DIY is usually fine for minor cases but for serious growths like the one on your windowsills, I'd recommend getting a pro involved.

Firstly, let's talk about cleaning up mold. If you decide to go ahead and clean it yourself, start by wearing protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a mask. You'll want to use a solution of water and detergent or a commercial cleaner designed for mold removal. It’s important not to just scrub but also ensure that the area dries out completely afterwards. This can help prevent regrowth.

However, given your kids' symptoms, it would be wise to get an expert inspection first. Mold testing kits are available, but they might not give you a full picture of what's happening in your home. A professional can do a thorough assessment and ensure the mold is removed safely. In Dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality which professionals must follow.

If you decide to proceed with an expert, remember to check their credentials. The UAE has guidelines for environmental inspections, so make sure they're certified to work in this area.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com if you need help finding a reputable professional. They can also give advice on how to prevent future growth and improve the indoor air quality of your home.

Remember, it's always better to be cautious when dealing with mold, especially in Dubai where humidity levels can be quite high post-rain events. Look after your family’s health and don't hesitate to get a professional opinion if you're unsure about what's going on.
