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 the dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in the bedrooms where my grandparents stay. The windows were open to let in some fresh air after the storm, but now it seems like there’s more than just dust in the air. Should I be concerned about mold or other allergens building up, especially since they have respiratory issues?

Absolutely, after the dust storm, it's totally understandable to be concerned about mold and other allergens in your home. In dubai, we've seen an increase in such issues post-storm due to the influx of dust particles that can carry spores and other irritants.

Mold thrives in moist environments, and given that you had windows open, there's a chance moisture levels could have increased, especially if your area has experienced humidity. This combination is a perfect breeding ground for mold growth, which can seriously affect respiratory health—especially with individuals having pre-existing conditions like yours grandparents.

In the UAE, it’s vital to stay in compliance with local regulations concerning indoor air quality and hygiene standards. The government does not have specific laws on mold control, but ensuring good indoor air quality is a must. With that said, it's wise to take proactive measures now rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.

Firstly, inspect the affected areas carefully. Look for signs of moisture like water stains or discoloration on walls and ceilings. If you notice any of these, there may be mold present. However, given your concerns about respiratory health, it might be best to have a professional inspection done. In dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in identifying and addressing such issues.

If you decide to call for a professional inspection, you can reach out through their 800-MOLDS number or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They offer comprehensive services including mold testing, remediation, and air quality assessments that adhere to local guidelines.

In the meantime, start by cleaning the areas thoroughly with a mixture of water and detergent. Use gloves and ensure you have good ventilation while doing so. Avoid using bleach as it can be harsh on surfaces and not all molds are sensitive to its disinfecting properties.

Lastly, maintain a clean environment by regularly dusting and vacuuming, ensuring that there's proper airflow throughout the home. If necessary, use an air purifier with HEPA filters which can capture fine particles including mold spores.

Remember, prevention is key—keep an eye on indoor humidity levels and make sure to address any leaks or moisture issues promptly. This proactive approach will help maintain a healthier living environment for your grandparents.
