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 pros? Cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement. Upon checking, I saw some mildew growing on the walls and ceiling near the floor vents.

Absolutely, if you've spotted mold in your home after the recent rains, it's best to take immediate action. Mold can spread quickly and pose health risks, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Given the climate in Dubai and the UAE, where humidity levels can be quite high, addressing this issue promptly is crucial.

Firstly, consider having a professional inspection done. In the UAE, mold remediation must comply with local regulations to ensure that all safety standards are met. The Environmental Health Department (EHD) of Dubai Municipality oversees these matters, ensuring that any work conducted adheres to national and international guidelines.

If you decide to tackle the issue yourself, remember a few key points. For mild cases like yours, basic cleaning products such as bleach or vinegar can be effective. However, ensure you're wearing protective gear including gloves, goggles, and masks. It’s important not to touch mold directly with bare skin, as it could cause irritation.

However, if the mold covers more than 10 square feet, or if there are health concerns for your family, hiring professionals is strongly recommended. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in such tasks and can provide a thorough clean-up and prevent future growth through proper remediation techniques.

Regarding costs, prices vary depending on the extent of mold growth, materials needed, and any additional work required to address underlying issues. Typically, you might be looking at AED 200-300 per hour for basic cleaning or around AED 500-1000 for a full remediation project that includes inspection, removal, and necessary repairs.

Given the recent rains, it's wise to act now. Don’t hesitate to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and quote. Our team can help you navigate this process effectively while ensuring your home is safe.

Remember, dealing with mold in Dubai requires expertise and adherence to local regulations—proceeding without the right guidance could lead to further complications.
