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 dampness from mold causing my kids' sinus issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing along the base of our balcony doors. The kids have been complaining about having sinus issues, and I’m worried it might be from the dampness seeping in from outside. We’ve lived here for two years, and this is the first time I see such a problem. Is there anything we can do to clean up the coastal mold and prevent further issues for my family?

Absolutely dampness from mold can be the culprit behind your kids' sinus issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where coastal areas are more prone to humidity, moisture and inadequate ventilation can indeed lead to mold growth. The high humidity following heavy rain is a perfect breeding ground for molds like Cladosporium or Penicillium which are common here.

Given that this is your first sighting of such an issue after two years, it's understandable you're concerned. Mold spores in the air or on surfaces can irritate the nasal passages and respiratory system, leading to symptoms like sinusitis, coughing, sneezing, and congestion—especially affecting children more severely due to their developing immune systems.

To address this situation, start by identifying areas with mold growth such as corners of your balcony, near windows, or any other damp spots. For the base of your balcony doors, you might need to check for water seepage during rain and ensure that proper drainage is in place. If mold has spread extensively, it's advisable to call a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice. They can conduct an inspection as per UAE regulations (which require adherence to standards such as EN 16000 series) and advise on thorough cleaning procedures.

For immediate action:
• Clean the affected areas with a solution of water and detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
• Use a disinfectant specifically designed for mold removal after cleaning.
• Ensure good indoor air quality by using dehumidifiers or air purifiers if necessary.
• Increase ventilation in your home, especially in humid coastal areas.

Remember to keep an eye on the humidity levels inside your home. Smart thermostats can help monitor and control moisture effectively. Regularly inspecting areas prone to dampness will also prevent future issues.

If symptoms persist despite these measures, consult a healthcare provider for further advice tailored to your family's needs. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need support or have any questions, we're here to assist!

Remember, maintaining indoor environmental quality is key to the health and well-being of all family members, especially in a coastal city like Dubai.
