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 mildew myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains, I noticed some mildew growing in the corners of my living room and kitchen. It's not a huge issue yet, but with Ramadan coming up, I want to make sure everything is spotless before the fasting month starts. Should I hire professionals or can I handle it myself, and how much might it cost either way?

Cleaning mildew yourself can be done but there's usually an advantage to hiring professionals. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold remediation. Given that you noticed mildew forming after heavy rains, it might be wise to ensure it’s properly addressed before Ramadan.

Firstly, consider the safety aspects of mold. Mildew can grow quickly under humid conditions, especially in corners and other dark areas where airflow is restricted. In the UAE, we've seen cases where improper cleaning methods could spread spores or irritate existing health issues like allergies. That's why it’s recommended to have a professional inspection done even if you plan on handling the cleanup yourself. This way, you can ensure that all affected areas are identified and that appropriate measures are taken.

If you decide to clean the mildew yourself, start by wearing protective gear such as gloves and masks. Use a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) or a specialized mold cleaner for tough spots. Make sure to thoroughly dry any area you clean as moisture is what allows mold to grow.

However, for peace of mind and effectiveness, consider hiring professionals like those at Saniservice who specialize in indoor environmental quality checks and remediation. They can provide a thorough cleaning service and also ensure that the environment remains safe throughout Ramadan.

The cost for professional services might vary but typically starts from around AED 500 to AED 2000 depending on the size of your living area, severity of mildew, and additional services like air quality testing. It’s important to compare quotes from different service providers to get a fair price.

Remember, in Dubai and other parts of UAE, there are specific laws regarding indoor health hazards such as mold which require professional handling. By having an expert team inspect the situation and handle the cleanup, you can avoid potential risks and ensure that your home is safe for Ramadan fasting.
