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 in grandma's recliner?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we experienced last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of the living room where my grandmother's old recliner is placed. It’s been there since she moved in with us two years ago, but this week it really hit me as her coughing seems to have worsened. Should I be concerned about mold or mildew and what can we do to clean it properly without causing her any distress?

Absolutely, it's very important to look into the situation. Mold and mildew can indeed cause respiratory issues, especially for elderly individuals like your grandmother who might be more susceptible due to age or existing health conditions such as her coughing.

First off, you should definitely take action without delay. The musty smell is a clear sign that mold may be present, particularly in the corners of rooms where humidity levels are higher. Given the recent heavy rain we've experienced, this could have contributed significantly to moisture buildup and subsequent mold growth.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, it's not uncommon for buildings to face challenges with indoor air quality due to climate conditions and building design issues like poor ventilation or inadequate damp proofing. The local building codes and regulations do address these concerns, but it’s always a good idea to ensure your home is inspected by professionals.

For immediate steps, start by opening windows if possible, allowing fresh air into the room. You can also use dehumidifiers to lower the moisture content in the air. However, given the severity of the situation and for peace of mind, I would recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection company. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are reputable and can provide thorough inspections and remediation services.

If mold is confirmed, they will have the necessary expertise to clean or remove it safely. They'll use methods that minimize disturbance to your grandmother such as HEPA filtration systems during cleaning processes. It's important not to attempt any deep cleaning yourself without proper equipment and training because improper handling could spread spores around, worsening the issue.

Saniservice can also advise on how to maintain better indoor air quality moving forward by recommending specific measures like improved ventilation or addressing any building defects that might be contributing to moisture issues.

Remember, early detection and intervention are key. Ignoring mold growth can lead to more extensive damage over time, not to mention ongoing health risks for your grandmother.

If you decide to go ahead with a professional inspection, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They're here to help and ensure that both you and your grandmother stay healthy and comfortable in your home.
