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.

Is mold causing my son's allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom that won’t go away. My son has been complaining of itchy eyes and sneezing, especially at night when we turn on the air conditioner. It’s really concerning because he didn’t have these issues before moving here. Is there anything specific I can do to address the mold and clean up his allergies?

Absolutely! Mold can definitely be the cause of your son's allergies. In Dubai and the UAE, mold thrives in humid conditions, which unfortunately are common after heavy rainfall as you've experienced.

First off, it’s important to know that mold spores can trigger allergic reactions such as itching eyes, sneezing, and even respiratory issues for some individuals. The musty smell you're noticing is a strong indicator of mold growth. Mold often grows in damp or humid areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements—places where moisture tends to accumulate.

Given the situation, I’d recommend taking several steps right away:

1. Immediate Action: Start by identifying the source of the moisture. Check for any water leaks around your air conditioning unit or even within the walls where condensation might be a factor. Fixing these issues is crucial to prevent further mold growth.

2. Ventilation and Drying: Use dehumidifiers in affected areas to reduce humidity levels. Ensure good airflow by opening windows if possible, especially during sunny days when drying can occur naturally.

3. Cleaning: For visible mold, use a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water to clean the area. Be sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear while cleaning. Scrub the affected areas thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before reusing or repainting.

4. Professional Inspection: Given your specific situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide detailed assessments and remediation plans if necessary.

5. Air Purification: Consider investing in an air purifier with a HEPA filter. This will help remove mold spores from the air, making your indoor environment cleaner for you and your family.

6. Long-term Solutions: In Dubai, it’s also a good idea to consider energy-efficient windows and better insulation to keep humidity levels lower throughout the year.

If these steps don’t sufficiently alleviate his symptoms, consult an allergist who can conduct specific tests to confirm if mold spores are indeed causing his allergic reactions. Remember, while DIY solutions are effective in many cases, they may not address all issues thoroughly, especially when dealing with hidden mold growth or pervasive humidity problems.

Stay proactive and keep your indoor environment as clean and dry as possible!
