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 pros? Cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from behind the curtains in my bedroom. It’s concerning because we’ve only had them for a year. Should I hire professionals to clean or try doing it myself? What are the typical costs for this type of service in Dubai?

Cleaning mildew yourself can be an option but considering the specifics of your situation and the environment here in Dubai, I’d recommend taking a closer look. The fact that you've only had the curtains for a year and are now noticing mildew suggests there might be underlying moisture issues which could be more severe than just a simple clean.

In the UAE, especially during our wetter seasons, it's not uncommon to see humidity levels rise and lead to mildew growth. However, DIY cleaning may not always be sufficient due to the potential for hidden water damage or structural issues that can require professional attention.

If you decide to tackle this yourself, here are a few tips:
• Use a solution of warm water and liquid laundry detergent, or a commercial cleaner designed specifically for mold.
• Scrub the affected areas thoroughly, making sure to remove all traces of mildew.
• Ensure thorough drying afterwards to prevent re-growth. This might mean using dehumidifiers or fans.

However, considering the potential risks, it's prudent to hire professionals who can assess the full extent of the problem. In Dubai, typical costs for mold remediation services range from AED 150 up to several thousand Dirhams depending on the severity and scope of work required. These services usually include a thorough inspection, removal of contaminated materials, cleaning, and often includes air quality testing.

Professional services like Saniservice (contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide detailed reports and ensure that all health risks are mitigated. They have the necessary equipment and expertise to handle such issues effectively and safely.

Remember, mold isn't just unsightly; it can pose serious health hazards especially for those with allergies or asthma. So, erring on the side of caution is always a wise choice when dealing with potential mold growth in your home.

Always prioritize safety and professional advice where necessary.
