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.

Could mold be causing our child's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heat wave, I noticed a strong musty smell lingering in my son’s room. It’s not just his toys or bed, but it seems to be coming from somewhere deeper. The windows are always open when we’re home, so I’m wondering if there could be mold growing behind the curtains or under the floorboards. Given that my kids have been coughing more often lately, is there a way to clean this area effectively without disturbing their sleep?

Could mold be causing our child's coughs?

It is indeed possible that the musty smell and your children’s recent increase in coughing could be linked to mold. Mold growth can occur in various parts of a building, especially during periods of high humidity like after a heat wave, as you've experienced. In Dubai, we often face such environmental conditions due to our climate.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold control, particularly outlined in the Abu Dhabi Executive Council Resolution No. 13 of 2009 on Environmental Protection Regulations. These guidelines emphasize the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to prevent issues like mold growth that could affect health.

If you suspect mold behind curtains or under floorboards, it’s crucial to approach this carefully to avoid disturbing your children's sleep. A thorough cleaning might be necessary but should ideally be done by a professional using proper equipment and techniques to ensure safety and efficiency. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional mold inspection services that can help identify the source of any potential problems.

When addressing such issues:

1. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in your child's room, even when windows are open during the day, to reduce moisture levels.
2. Humidity Control: Use a dehumidifier if necessary, especially after humid weather or to address high indoor humidity levels.
3. Professional Inspection: If you’re unsure about the extent of mold growth, it’s best to call in professionals for an inspection. Saniservice can help assess the situation and advise on the next steps.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance with a professional evaluation or cleanup. Addressing mold issues promptly is key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment, especially for children who are more susceptible to respiratory problems.

Remember, keeping your home clean and dry can go a long way in preventing such issues. Regularly checking for signs of moisture and addressing them immediately will help keep the air quality at its best for you and your family.
