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 making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom closet. The shelves are piled high with clothes and shoes, and it feels like there’s always some kind of mildew or mold growing in there. My kids have been complaining about coughing and sneezing more than usual since the storm, which has me really worried about what might be lurking in all those dark corners. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Absolutely it's possible that mold could be making your kids sick. In the UAE, especially after an event like the recent dust storm, moisture and humidity levels can spike, creating a breeding ground for mold spores to flourish. Mold not only affects air quality but also releases allergens into the environment which can cause respiratory issues, coughing, and sneezing.

In Dubai and the UAE, it's important to be mindful of local regulations that address indoor environmental quality. The Building Code in Dubai (DSC-025) mandates regular inspections for moisture management and mold control within buildings. It’s also a good practice to familiarize yourself with these guidelines to ensure your home meets necessary standards.

Given the condition you're describing, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection of your closet. These services can help identify if there are any mold issues and provide remediation solutions tailored to your specific situation.

If the closet is indeed harboring mold, it's crucial to address this promptly. Mold growth in enclosed spaces like closets can spread quickly due to limited air circulation. Ensure you clean all surfaces thoroughly with a solution of water and detergent or a mixture that includes biocide specifically recommended for mold removal. However, note that severe cases may require the use of specialized cleaning agents or even professional decontamination.

Additionally, consider improving airflow in your closet by opening the door occasionally or using an exhaust fan to reduce humidity levels. Keeping items like clothes and shoes off the floor and ensuring they are properly ventilated can also help prevent mold growth in the future.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount for everyone’s health, especially children who might be more susceptible to airborne contaminants. By taking proactive steps now, you could significantly improve your family's well-being.

Keep an eye on any changes in your kids' symptoms and do not hesitate to seek medical advice if their condition worsens or does not improve after remediation efforts.
