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 in vents causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy odor coming from the vents in my bedroom. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and nose congestion, especially after they turn on the AC. Could this be linked to poor duct cleaning? What should I do about it?

It's quite possible the moldy odor from your vents is linked to poor duct cleaning and could be contributing to your kids' symptoms. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons like you experienced last month, moisture can easily find its way into HVAC systems through leaks or insufficient seals. This moisture can lead to the growth of harmful molds in the air ducts, which can get circulated throughout your home via your AC system.

In Dubai and the UAE, there are specific regulations concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that you should be aware of. The UAE Building Code outlines standards for HVAC systems, including regular maintenance and cleaning schedules to prevent mold growth and ensure a healthy environment. Given the complaints from your kids about coughing and nose congestion especially after turning on the AC, it's highly advisable to have an inspection done by professional experts.

Molds can release allergens, irritants, and mycotoxins that may cause respiratory issues like the ones your children are experiencing. A professional inspection would help identify if there is indeed mold in your ducts and assess its severity. If a significant amount of mold is found, it's crucial to have it removed by certified professionals who can handle such tasks safely.

I'd recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection. They can provide you with the necessary services including duct cleaning and remediation if needed. Don't delay as addressing this issue promptly will improve your family’s health and comfort in the long run.

Remember, maintaining proper indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, especially after weather events like rainfall, can prevent such issues from arising.
