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 hire pros to check home air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my bedroom closet. The humidity has been pretty high since then, and now my kids are starting to get coughs and sneezes more frequently. Given that we've lived here for 2 years, I'm wondering if it might be time to consider hiring professionals to check the air quality in our home. What should I expect in terms of costs and what kind of tests they would run?

Absolutely, considering the musty smell and increased respiratory issues amongst your kids since the rain, it's wise to have an air quality check done. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can often be quite high, especially after rainy periods, leading to potential mold growth which can affect indoor air quality.

When hiring professionals for a home air quality assessment, you can expect them to conduct a series of tests to identify any possible contaminants or issues such as mold, bacteria, and other allergens. In the UAE, according to the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), it's recommended that homes are regularly checked, especially in areas with high humidity.

The inspection process might include using specialized equipment like air samplers and thermometers to measure moisture levels and overall air quality. They may also visually inspect damp areas or hidden spots where mold could be growing, such as behind walls or under carpets.

Costs can vary depending on the scope of the assessment and the company you choose. Typically, a comprehensive indoor air quality test can start from AED 200 to AED 500, but larger or more complex assessments might push this higher. It's always a good idea to get several quotes before making a decision.

Given your situation, it would be prudent to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an evaluation. Early detection and remediation can prevent further health issues and save on long-term costs of dealing with mold damage.

Remember, maintaining proper ventilation and addressing any water leaks promptly are crucial steps you can take while waiting for the professional assessment. Make sure to keep your home well-ventilated by opening windows when possible, using dehumidifiers in damp areas, and keeping humidity levels below 60% as recommended.

Don't wait too long; acting now could help protect both your family's health and the value of your property.
