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 from dust storms harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms this spring, I noticed a strange mold growing on the shelves of our kitchen cabinets. The children have been playing in there quite often since we moved into our new apartment, and I’m worried about their health. Do you think it’s safe for them to be around, or should I take extra cleaning measures?

Mold from dust storms can indeed be harmful to kids and their health. Dust storms often bring in spores that are capable of germinating into mold, especially under the right conditions such as moisture or humidity. In Dubai and UAE in general, our climate is generally quite warm and humid, making it a perfect environment for mold growth.

The presence of mold on your kitchen cabinet shelves can be concerning, particularly since kids often play there. Exposure to mold can lead to various health issues like respiratory problems, allergies, and even infections. It’s crucial to assess the situation carefully.

First, you should consider calling in professionals for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are equipped with the knowledge and tools to properly identify and address mold issues. Their number is 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you can email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

In the meantime, there are steps you can take to minimize risk:
1. Increase ventilation in your home by using exhaust fans when cooking and bathing.
2. Clean surfaces with a solution of water and detergent, then dry thoroughly. You might want to use a commercial mold cleaner if the mold is widespread or persistent.
3. Keep humidity levels down with dehumidifiers or air conditioning units. Aim for an indoor relative humidity below 60%.

Remember, in Dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality. It’s important that any remediation work complies with these standards to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Taking proactive steps now can help protect your family's health. If you decide not to go through professional services, make sure the cleaning process is thorough, removing all traces of mold spores to prevent future growth. And always keep an eye on your children’s respiratory health in the coming days if there are signs like sneezing or coughing.

Stay vigilant and proactive!
