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 clean green slime on wooden railings?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms last week, I noticed a weird greenish tint along the base of my balcony railings. The rain must have seeped into the wooden frames, because now there’s a slimy growth that feels wet to the touch. How can I clean this without damaging the wood?

Cleaning green slime off wooden railings can be a delicate task, especially considering the climate and environment here in the UAE. The first thing you should do is ensure that your cleaning process doesn't cause any damage to the wood. Given that the area may experience heavy storms, it's crucial to address this issue properly.

Firstly, inspect the condition of the railings. If you're unsure about their structural integrity or if the green slime appears widespread and persistent, it might be wise to call in a professional inspection service. In Dubai, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment.

For mild cases, start by allowing the railings to dry completely after any wetting from rain. You'll want to avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the wood's finish and structure. A mixture of water and baking soda is a gentle solution; mix one tablespoon of baking soda into 1 gallon (about 3.8 liters) of warm water. Use a soft-bristled brush or cloth to gently scrub the affected areas, ensuring you remove all visible green slime.

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the railings completely. If the greenish tint persists or if you notice any signs of rot or decay, it might be time for deeper treatment or possibly replacement. In Dubai's tropical climate, wood can quickly deteriorate without proper maintenance, so regular inspections are advisable to prevent larger issues.

To maintain the health of your wooden railings and keep them looking good, consider applying a sealant or preservative that is suitable for exterior use in the UAE. This will not only protect against further moisture penetration but also make cleaning easier should green slime appear again.

Remember, while this approach works well for minor cases, it's always best to seek professional advice if you're unsure about the condition of your railings. Regular maintenance can save you from larger problems down the line and ensure that your outdoor spaces remain safe and aesthetically pleasing in Dubai's unique climate conditions.
