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 worry about mold after rains?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a peculiar smell coming from under my bedroom floor. It's a damp, musty odor that gets worse during the night. The carpet feels a bit soggy in one corner too. Should I be worried about contaminants like mold, and is it worth hiring a professional to check it out or can I address this myself?

Absolutely, the smell and feeling of dampness under your bedroom floor could indicate the presence of mold. Mold growth can be triggered by excess moisture, which is exactly what you're experiencing following the heavy rains. In the UAE, especially during our humid seasons, it's crucial to address such issues promptly.

Firstly, let me assure you that it’s definitely worth having a professional inspection done. The Emirati building codes and standards (like those in Dubai) do not directly address mold, but they emphasize the importance of maintaining indoor air quality and preventing water damage. Given your situation, hiring an expert is highly recommended for several reasons:

1. Professional Assessment: A skilled professional can assess if the moisture has indeed led to mold growth and determine the extent of any contamination.
2. Remediation Expertise: They will have the tools and techniques necessary to safely remove or remediate mold, ensuring your home remains healthy.
3. Prevention Advice: Experts can provide guidance on how to prevent future occurrences by addressing the root cause of moisture.

If you do decide to act on your own first, here are some steps:

1. Inspect Visually: Look for visible signs like dark spots or discoloration under your carpet and in corners.
2. Check Moisture Levels: Use a moisture meter to check if there's excess dampness.
3. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation, which might involve opening windows during dry weather (though this is less common here due to high humidity) or using dehumidifiers.

However, if you notice widespread growth, odd health symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or aggravation of asthma, or just want peace of mind, it’s best to reach out for a professional assessment. For immediate support in Dubai, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide you with expert advice and services tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, prevention is key! Regularly inspecting areas prone to moisture issues and addressing them promptly can save you from future health concerns and costly repairs.
