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 safely clean mold and dust in warehouse?« Back to Previous Page

My husband and I have been cleaning out our warehouse in Al Quoz over the past month, and I've started to notice that I've been sneezing a lot more and feeling a bit lightheaded afterward. We found some old boxes with what looked like mold and dust everywhere, and I’ve even developed a slight cough that just won’t go away. We try to wear masks while we're working, but I'm worried that the dust and potential mold exposure are affecting my health more than I realized. What are some effective ways to clean a warehouse that minimize health risks, and should I be concerned about these symptoms?

Cleaning a warehouse, especially one that has been neglected or contains potential mold and dust hazards, requires a careful approach to minimize health risks. Given your symptoms of sneezing, lightheadedness, and persistent cough, it is essential to take these concerns seriously. Mold and dust exposure can lead to respiratory issues and other health problems, particularly if you have pre-existing conditions.

First, ensure that you have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes high-quality masks (N95 or better), gloves, and goggles to protect against inhaling mold spores and dust particles. It's good that you and your husband are wearing masks, but make sure they are rated for particulate filtration.

Before starting the cleaning process, assess the severity of the mold situation. If the mold covers an area greater than 10 square feet, it is advisable to seek professional help. In the UAE, regulations under the Dubai Municipality require that mold remediation be performed by certified professionals, as improper handling can exacerbate the problem.

For smaller areas, follow these steps to clean effectively:

1. Ventilation: Open windows and doors to increase airflow in the warehouse. This helps to disperse dust and mold spores during cleaning.

2. Cleaning Supplies: Use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter to remove dust and debris. Avoid sweeping as it can stir up particles into the air. For mold, a mixture of water and detergent can be effective, or you can use a commercial mold remover.

3. Damp Cleaning Method: Keep surfaces damp while cleaning to prevent spores from becoming airborne. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not dry-sweep or use a regular vacuum without a HEPA filter, as this may release more spores into the air.

4. Discard Contaminated Materials: If you find old boxes or materials that are significantly moldy or dusty, it might be safer to dispose of them. Seal them in plastic bags before taking them outside to prevent spore release.

5. Post-Cleaning Inspection: After cleaning, monitor the area for any signs of mold regrowth or persistent dust. It may be beneficial to conduct air quality testing to ensure the environment is safe.

Given your ongoing symptoms, I strongly recommend that you consult with a healthcare professional to discuss your health concerns. It may also be wise to consider a professional inspection for mold and indoor air quality. You can contact specialists in mold remediation and environmental inspection in Dubai by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can evaluate your warehouse and provide tailored solutions to ensure a safe environment.

Remember, your health is paramount, and taking proactive steps can help prevent further complications. Stay safe while cleaning!
