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 fix mold myself or call an expert?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. Despite running the dehumidifier day and night, the smell hasn't gone away. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, which makes me think it might be related to the air quality. Should I try fixing this myself or is it better to call an expert?

Absolutely understandable to be concerned about the air quality and your kids' health. Given the heavy rain you mentioned and the musty smell lingering in your bedroom closet, it is quite likely that mold might be growing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity can be a significant factor leading to such issues, especially post-rain events.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that while some basic steps can be taken to mitigate the situation, serious cases of indoor mold growth often require professional intervention due to potential health risks and the complexity involved. The UAE building codes and regulations do not specifically mandate regular mold inspections, but if you're unsure about the extent of the problem, a professional inspection could provide peace of mind.

Here are some steps you can take:

1. Inspect Thoroughly: Check for visible signs of mold in damp areas such as behind walls, under carpets, and around windows or leaks. Look out for discoloration, stains, or fuzzy growths.

2. Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation by opening windows when possible, using exhaust fans, and possibly running a dehumidifier to lower the moisture level in your home.

3. Clean Up: For small areas of mold (less than about 10 square feet), you can attempt cleaning with a solution of water and detergent or bleach. However, be cautious as improper handling could spread spores.

4. Professional Help: If the area affected is larger than 10 square feet, or if you find mold in places where it shouldn't be (like inside walls or behind appliances), it’s best to call in a professional. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide expert mold remediation services that adhere to local standards and safety protocols.

Remember, dealing with mold can pose health risks, especially for children who might have weaker immune systems. If your kids' coughing persists despite cleaning efforts, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider as well.

In Dubai, you can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for professional mold inspection and remediation services. They have expertise in handling such situations according to local environmental regulations.

Taking these steps will help ensure your indoor air quality remains healthy and safe for you and your family.
