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 test indoor air quality after rain?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a weird odor coming from my living room closet. It’s not too bad but persistent enough to be concerning. My family has been complaining of minor sniffles lately, which might be related. Given our proximity to water and humidity issues here in Dubai, should I consider hiring professionals for indoor air quality testing and what can this cost typically range from?

After the recent heavy rain we had here in Dubai, it's definitely worth considering indoor air quality testing. Given our proximity to water and humidity issues, it’s important to keep an eye on your home environment. The weird odor from your living room closet could be a sign of mold growth or dampness, which are common problems following such weather events.

According to UAE regulations, while there isn’t a specific law mandating regular indoor air quality checks for the general public, it is highly recommended to ensure health and safety, especially in areas prone to moisture. The Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (ADEA) and Dubai Health Authority (DHA) both recommend addressing any concerns about dampness or mold promptly.

Given that your family has been complaining of minor sniffles, it’s crucial to rule out indoor air quality issues as a potential cause. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system, leading to allergic reactions like sniffles, coughing, and sneezing. Moreover, persistent moisture can also lead to other health concerns such as asthma exacerbation.

I recommend you call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. These companies specialize in identifying mold and assessing indoor air quality. They will conduct tests, identify any potential issues, and provide remediation solutions if needed.

The cost of indoor air quality testing can vary based on the scope of the work and the specific services required. Typically, basic mold inspections start from AED 500 to AED 1000 depending on the size of your home and the number of areas needing inspection. More comprehensive tests that include detailed air sampling might cost around AED 2000 or more.

Remember, early detection is key. Addressing any indoor air quality issues promptly can prevent further damage and protect your family’s health. Don’t wait until symptoms worsen before taking action.

Take care of your home’s health just as you do yours!
