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 mold causing our air conditioning issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, we've noticed a weird musty smell coming from the central air conditioning unit in our living room. The kids have also been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses ever since. I'm worried this could be causing their symptoms or even worse, it might indicate mold growth. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the cleaning central here in Dubai? Can you recommend any professional services for thorough cleaning and inspection?

It's quite possible that the musty smell and symptoms your kids are experiencing might be linked to mold growth within the central air conditioning unit. Mold thrives in warm, humid environments like those found inside an AC system post-dust storm. In Dubai, especially during our hot summer months, such conditions can indeed lead to mold proliferation.

I've heard of similar issues from other homeowners around here. The dust storms we experience can bring in a lot of particulate matter that could contain spores which find their way into your AC unit if not properly maintained. Mold growth is a serious concern as it can produce allergens and irritants, potentially causing respiratory issues for your family.

Given the situation, I'd recommend reaching out to professional services like Saniservice for an inspection. They offer thorough cleaning and remediation of mold in HVAC systems which will help ensure that your air quality is up to standards set by UAE regulations such as EN 15783-2:2016 on Indoor Air Quality Assessment.

Saniservice can also advise if there are any specific steps you need to take at home, like improving ventilation or using HEPA filters. Their services not only address immediate concerns but also help in maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

Remember, it's crucial to act quickly as mold growth can spread rapidly and potentially worsen over time. Don't hesitate to contact them on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.
