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 lingering smell post-dust storm mold related?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, we’ve noticed a strange, lingering smell in the living room. The air feels heavier, almost like it’s thick with something, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening. Could this be due to some kind of mold growth or dust mites? What steps should I take to clean thoroughly without making things worse for everyone's health?

Absolutely, the lingering smell and thick feeling of air could well be linked to mold growth post-dust storm. Dust storms are notorious for bringing in particles that can settle on surfaces inside homes, creating an environment ripe for mold spores to thrive.

In the UAE, especially during such dusty periods, it’s crucial to keep a close eye on indoor conditions. The recent dust storm could have brought in not just dust but also moisture-laden air, which is ideal for nurturing mold colonies indoors if conditions are right. In Dubai, the warm and humid climate can exacerbate this situation.

First things first, ensure you get your home inspected by a professional. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection. Professionals will be able to assess the extent of any mold growth and recommend appropriate remediation steps. They’ll also help identify if there are other factors contributing to the issue, such as dust mites.

For a thorough cleaning at home:
1. Open windows and use fans or air purifiers to improve airflow.
2. Remove all loose debris using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles.
3. Wash surfaces like carpets, curtains, and soft furnishings that might have collected dust or mold spores.
4. Clean bathrooms and kitchens thoroughly as these areas are prone to moisture accumulation.

Remember not to use harsh chemicals unless you're sure they won't affect your family’s health. Instead, opt for natural solutions like vinegar or baking soda which can help in cleaning and deodorizing without causing harm.

If the smell persists despite your efforts, it might be wise to seek professional help from a remediation team. They have the right equipment and knowledge to tackle tough mold situations safely and effectively.

Lastly, ensure good ventilation throughout your home to prevent any future issues. Regular cleaning and maintaining optimal indoor humidity levels can go a long way in keeping your living space healthy and pleasant for you and your family.

Stay proactive and take care of these matters promptly to avoid any health concerns.
