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 could be causing the green tint by the sea?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange greenish tint on the sand at the edge of our patio right by the sea. It looks like some kind of algae or mold, but it’s in such an odd spot that I’m not sure where it could be coming from. The kids have even started to complain about feeling unwell when they play outside. Where might this be coming from and how can we clean it up?

The green tint by the sea could be due to several factors. In Dubai and UAE, coastal areas are prone to various environmental conditions that can lead to such occurrences. It's quite likely you're seeing algae or a type of mold growing on the sand near your patio. This could happen for a few reasons.

Firstly, the recent heavy storms might have brought in more moisture than usual, which is perfect for fungi and algae growth. In Dubai, where we experience a combination of high humidity and direct sunlight, such conditions can create an ideal environment for microorganisms to thrive. Secondly, salt spray from the sea might also contribute to this growth as it could affect how the sand retains moisture.

However, given your concerns about the kids feeling unwell after playing in that area, it's important to rule out any potential health risks associated with such a condition. In Dubai, we do have regulations and guidelines for maintaining public health, especially regarding environmental quality near residential areas.

I recommend getting a professional inspection done. Contacting 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com could be beneficial as they can provide you with an assessment of the situation and advise on appropriate cleaning measures. They might also test to ensure that what you're seeing isn't something more harmful, like certain types of mold.

For now, it's a good idea to keep your kids away from this area until you get professional help. If you decide to clean up yourself, make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and masks to avoid direct contact with the substance.

Cleaning can be done using basic disinfectants or fungicides that are suitable for outdoor use, but always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. It’s also worth checking if the area is prone to reoccurring issues so you can take preventative measures in future. Remember, safety and health should always come first.

In the meantime, keeping an eye on weather conditions and any changes in the sand could provide additional insights into what might be causing this issue.
