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 hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my basement storage area. When I went down there, I saw a fair amount of mold growing on some of the boxes we keep in there. The kids have been complaining about coughing too, and I’m worried it might be related to this mold. Given that we’ve only lived here for 2 years, is it worth hiring professionals to clean up or can I handle it myself?

Cleaning mold can indeed be a tricky task, especially when it comes to areas like your basement storage where it has been growing for some time. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations and guidelines that apply to mold remediation due to climatic conditions and building practices.

Firstly, you should definitely have an inspection done by professionals. This is because even a small amount of mold can release allergens and spores into the air, which might be triggering your children's coughs. In Dubai, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) recommends professional testing to determine the extent and type of mold present.

If you decide to tackle it yourself, here are some steps to follow:
1. Wear protective gear: Use gloves, a face mask, and goggles.
2. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows or use fans if possible.
3. Dry out the area: Mold thrives in damp conditions, so drying is crucial. Use dehumidifiers if necessary.
4. Clean surfaces: You can use a mixture of water and household bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) on hard surfaces, but this might not be enough for heavy growth.

However, given the complexity of mold remediation in Dubai’s climate, I strongly recommend calling professionals like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They have the expertise and equipment to safely remove mold, clean your area thoroughly, and ensure that it is no longer a health hazard.

Remember, in Dubai, moisture management is key to preventing mold growth. Once you’ve addressed this issue, make sure to maintain good ventilation and keep humidity levels low to prevent future occurrences.
