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.

Is cleaning staff missing closet under stairs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange musty smell coming from the closet under the stairs. The area is usually cleaned every week by the cleaning staff, but this time it seems they missed something big. There’s even some mildew starting to grow in there. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the cleaning staff missing spots?

Cleaning staff missing spots under stairs is indeed something that can happen. In the UAE, especially during our humid seasons like after heavy rains, such issues are quite common. The area you've described sounds familiar to me and has been reported by other property managers here in Dubai.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that while cleaning staff do their best, they may not always have access to all areas of your property due to time constraints or lack of proper tools. This could be the reason why mildew started to grow under the stairs where you noticed a musty smell.

In the UAE, building and environmental regulations like those found in the Building Code (Building Code of Dubai), emphasize cleanliness and maintenance standards but don't specifically mention cleaning staff responsibilities. However, it's crucial for properties to have regular inspections to ensure all areas are being cleaned properly.

I would recommend scheduling a professional indoor air quality inspection with a company like Saniservice if you suspect that mold or mildew is present. A trained professional can assess the situation accurately and provide remediation solutions if necessary. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more details on how to proceed.

Additionally, here are some tips you can implement:
• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation in such areas; sometimes a fan or dehumidifier might be needed.
• Request your cleaning staff to clean these hard-to-reach areas specifically.
• Consider adding moisture barriers like desiccant packs or silica gel in those spots.

Remember, preventing mold growth is key. Keeping the area dry and well-ventilated can go a long way. If you do find any signs of mold, act quickly as it can lead to health issues if left untreated.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to voice your concerns with property management; they should be proactive in addressing such issues to maintain a healthy living environment for all residents.
