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 mildew from dust storm harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit our area, we’ve noticed a persistent odor in the kitchen that seems like mildew. The smell is strongest near the dishwasher and fridge, which are both located next to each other in a small corner of the room. I’m worried it might be due to water damage from the storm or even mold affecting my kids’ health. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after a dust storm and how did you address them?

Is mildew from dust storm harming my kids?

Hey there! I'm glad you reached out about the smell and concerns regarding your kitchen. Dust storms can indeed bring a lot of particulate matter into homes, which might include mold spores or other allergens that could be problematic, especially for children. In Dubai/UAE, we've seen similar issues reported after dust storms.

Firstly, it’s important to recognize that while the storm may have brought in some dust and debris, persistent odor near your dishwasher and fridge suggests a more significant issue. Mold can grow quickly under humid or damp conditions, which is common during and after such weather events. The area around appliances like dishwashers and fridges can provide a perfect environment for mold growth due to the moisture from condensation.

If you're worried about the health of your children, it's best to act on this concern promptly. Mold exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems, particularly in children who may have weaker immune systems. Considering the UAE's regulations like the Emirate Standards Regulation (ESR) which sets standards for indoor air quality, it is recommended that you schedule a professional inspection.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection with our team at Saniservice. We can assess the situation and provide necessary remediation if required. In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:

1. Open windows and use exhaust fans to improve air flow.
2. Check for any visible signs of water damage or moisture around the appliances.
3. Clean surfaces with a mix of water and detergent followed by drying thoroughly.
4. Consider using dehumidifiers in affected areas.

Remember, prevention is key. Regular maintenance of your kitchen can help prevent such issues from arising again. If you find that there are signs of mold growth during your inspection, make sure to address it immediately to protect the health of your family.

Hope this helps and keeps everyone safe!
