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 mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. When I opened it up, I found some mold starting to form on the back wall where moisture seems to have accumulated over time. Given that we've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, I’m not sure if I should try cleaning it myself or if it’s better to call in a professional. Can anyone with experience share their advice on handling mild cases like this?

Absolutely, it's wise to take action against mold, especially given the UAE's climate and humidity levels. In Dubai, mold can quickly spread if left unchecked, leading to not only a persistent musty smell but also potential health issues for you and your family.

Given that you've noticed mold starting in your bedroom closet after heavy rains last month, it might be best to err on the side of caution and seek professional assistance. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating professional clean-up for minor cases like yours, but it's always a good idea to ensure thoroughness and safety.

If you decide to tackle this yourself, here are some steps to follow:

1. Preparation: Wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles. Also, make sure the area is well-ventilated.
2. Cleaning Supplies: Use a solution of water and detergent or a commercial mold cleaner. Avoid using bleach unless you're sure it's not harmful to your materials; in Dubai, certain materials may react poorly with it.
3. Removing Mold: Scrub the affected areas thoroughly. For tougher spots, you might need to scrape away the mold. Be cautious about damaging your walls or other surfaces.
4. Disinfecting: After cleaning, disinfect the area with a solution of water and bleach (if safe for materials) or another effective disinfectant.
5. Drying: Ensure the area is completely dry before resealing or covering it. Use fans or dehumidifiers if necessary.

However, given that you've noticed mold only now despite living there for 2 years, it might indicate a persistent moisture issue that needs addressing. A professional inspection can help identify any underlying issues like plumbing leaks or condensation problems, which are common in Dubai’s climate and can lead to more extensive mold growth if not addressed.

If you're unsure about your ability to handle this or if the mold has spread significantly, it's highly recommended to call a professional service. Saniservice, for example, offers reliable and experienced services tailored to local conditions. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, dealing with mold is not just about removing the visible growth but also addressing its root cause to prevent recurrence.
