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 my mother's bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my mother's bedroom. It’s quite strong and has gotten worse over the past few days. The window is sealed shut most of the time due to air conditioning issues, which might be contributing. Should I be concerned about mold or other health risks for her?

Absolutely, it's wise to be concerned about the musty smell and potential mold growth in your mother’s bedroom. Mold can indeed pose serious health risks, especially for elderly individuals who may have compromised immune systems or respiratory issues.

In Dubai and the UAE, there aren't specific regulations directly related to mold remediation per se, but indoor air quality guidelines are part of general building codes. The Abu Dhabi Municipality and Dubai Health Authority do emphasize the importance of maintaining a clean environment to avoid health hazards.

Firstly, you should assess if there’s actually visible mold or dampness in her room. Mold thrives in moist environments so look out for water stains on walls, ceilings, or around windows. If you spot anything suspicious, don't delay—call a professional inspection service like 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to come and check it out.

The air conditioning issue sealing the window shut could be exacerbating conditions that encourage mold growth. If possible, try to improve ventilation by opening windows when weather permits or using a dehumidifier. However, these measures alone may not solve the problem if there's active mold growth.

Regularly cleaning surfaces with a mixture of water and vinegar (which is also effective against odors) can help reduce moisture levels and inhibit new mold spores from forming. But remember, this doesn't replace professional remediation.

If you do find mold or the smell persists despite your efforts, it's crucial to engage professionals for safe removal. Mold not only causes unpleasant odors but can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and more severe health problems, particularly for elderly individuals with existing medical conditions.

Taking action now could prevent long-term damage both to her health and to the structural integrity of the building. Don't hesitate to reach out for expert advice and assistance if you're unsure about how to proceed.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation right away.
