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 treat mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a mold patch growing behind one of the wall panels in our coworking space at home. It's only about the size of my hand but it’s concerning me because it’s near where we store all the cleaning supplies and tech equipment. Can anyone advise if this is something I can handle myself or if I should call in a professional?

When dealing with mold growth like the one you've noticed in your coworking space near where cleaning supplies and tech equipment are stored, it's essential to take prompt action. The situation requires a careful assessment of both the extent of the mold problem and its potential impact on health and property.

Firstly, it is crucial to understand that the UAE has specific regulations concerning indoor air quality and mold remediation. According to the UAE Building Code (EN 13789), it's mandatory to maintain a healthy environment within buildings by controlling moisture levels and addressing any instances of mold growth promptly.

In your case, since you've only noticed a small patch of mold but it’s near valuable items, it would be wise to call in professionals for a thorough inspection. While smaller patches might seem manageable, the proximity to sensitive equipment could pose risks if not handled properly. Mold can release spores that may affect air quality and potentially harm health.

If you decide to proceed with treating the mold yourself, here are some general steps you should follow:
1. Assess the Area: Take a closer look at how far the mold has spread beyond your initial observation.
2. Ventilate the Space: Open windows or use fans to improve air circulation and reduce moisture levels.
3. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear gloves, goggles, and a mask to protect yourself from inhaling spores.
4. Address Moisture Source: Identify and fix any water leaks or issues causing high humidity.
5. Clean the Area: Use a mixture of water and detergent, or a solution approved for mold remediation, to clean the affected area.

However, given that this is your home coworking space, involving professionals will be more beneficial in ensuring thoroughness and compliance with local regulations. They have the necessary expertise, equipment, and knowledge to handle such situations safely and effectively.

For immediate assistance, you can contact us at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com. We specialize in mold remediation and indoor air quality assessments in Dubai and the UAE region.

Remember, prevention is key, so ensure regular checks for moisture issues and prompt action if any signs of mold appear again.
