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.

What are costs and services for cleaning mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed some mold growing behind the curtains in the living room. The AC also seems to be making a funny noise, and it's been running overtime lately. Given that Ramadan is approaching, I’m considering cleaning the house thoroughly but am unsure about the costs and whether it would be better to hire professionals for this task or to do it myself. What should I expect in terms of cost, and are there any specific services you’d recommend?

Cleaning mold during the Ramadan season can indeed be a bit tricky given the recent rainfall and its aftermath. In Dubai/UAE, we've seen an increase in mold cases post-rainy seasons due to humidity levels. The costs for mold cleaning services can vary widely depending on several factors such as the extent of the mold growth, the size of your living space, and whether or not you choose professional assistance.

For a standard 2-bedroom apartment with light mold coverage, you might be looking at around AED 100 to AED 300 for DIY cleaning. This could include purchasing some effective mold-killing solutions and following online tutorials on proper application techniques. However, if the mold has spread significantly or is located in harder-to-reach areas like behind curtains or inside AC units, it's highly recommended to hire professionals.

Professional mold remediation services can cost anywhere from AED 500 to AED 3,000 or more depending on the severity and scope of work. These services typically involve a thorough inspection by trained experts who will assess the extent of contamination, provide recommendations, and execute a plan that may include removing contaminated materials, treating surfaces with specialized cleaning agents, and ensuring proper air quality.

The AC noise you're hearing could be related to mold growth inside the unit as well. Professional servicing is advised here too. They can clean the filters, check for any blockages or damages, and ensure everything runs smoothly without spreading contaminants throughout your home.

In terms of services, I’d recommend a full inspection followed by a targeted cleaning where needed. This ensures not only the visible mold but also potential areas you might overlook. For instance, behind baseboards, around windows, and inside ducts can all harbor hidden mold growth.

Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation if you're unsure about what to do next. They offer reliable services tailored to the UAE climate and regulations. Remember, addressing mold issues promptly is crucial to prevent health problems and property damage.

Cleaning your house thoroughly during Ramadan can provide a refreshing start to the holy month, but it's wise to seek professional help for critical areas like the AC unit where DIY methods might not be enough. Stay safe and clean!
