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.

Should I clean after dust storm or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed an awful musty smell lingering in my bedroom and living room. The carpets are quite dirty with sand particles, and there’s a layer of dust everywhere. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, should I hire professional cleaners or can I handle it myself? What would be the typical cost range for such cleaning services in Dubai?

Cleaning after a dust storm can be quite a task, especially given the layer of sand and dirt that you mentioned. In Dubai/UAE, it's quite common to experience such weather conditions due to its arid climate. The musty smell might indicate moisture issues or possible mold growth which is something you'd want to address as soon as possible.

Considering your situation, I would recommend hiring professional cleaning services. While it’s true that you can DIY clean, dealing with the aftermath of a dust storm requires expertise and equipment that most homeowners don’t have access to. Professional cleaners in Dubai/UAE use advanced tools like HEPA vacuums which are specifically designed to remove fine particles from carpets and upholstery without causing damage.

Typically, the cost for such services ranges from AED 300 - AED 1500 per room depending on the size of your space and the extent of cleaning required. For a two-bedroom apartment like yours, you might be looking at around AED 600-1200 for both rooms. However, if you notice any signs of mold or persistent musty odors, it’s advisable to call in an environmental inspection service first. In Dubai, services like Saniservice offer such inspections and can also provide remediation if needed.

Saniservice is a professional company that offers comprehensive mold testing and remediation services. They can help identify the source of the smell and ensure your home is safe from any health hazards. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for a quote.

Remember, it’s crucial to act quickly on these issues as prolonged exposure to mold and dust can lead to respiratory problems and other health concerns. So, while DIY cleaning might seem like the easiest option, it's often better to consult with professionals who have the right tools and experience to handle such situations effectively.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance.
