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 rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, even with the windows open. The area right next to the wall by the bed seems the worst. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses every morning since we started noticing this smell. Could it be mold or something else causing their symptoms?

Could mold be making my kids sick? Definately a possibility. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, where we experience humidity swings and periodic heavy rains like you've described recently, it's crucial to consider indoor air quality as a significant factor for health.

Mold growth often thrives in damp or humid environments, which sounds very much like what’s happening with your bedroom situation. The musty smell is a common indicator of mold, especially when it persists even after airing out the room by opening windows. And the area by the wall where you noticed the worst odor may indicate moisture seeping from beneath, creating an ideal environment for mold to develop.

Mold spores can become airborne and be inhaled, potentially leading to respiratory issues such as coughing, runny noses, and even more severe allergic reactions. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their developing immune systems. It's important not to dismiss these symptoms without investigating the cause.

Given your situation, a professional inspection by experts familiar with local regulations is highly recommended. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide comprehensive assessments and remediation services as per UAE standards such as EN 16032:2015 for indoor air quality.

Remember to take immediate steps while waiting for the inspection. Regularly ventilate the area, use dehumidifiers if moisture is an issue, and clean surfaces with mold inhibitors. If you notice any signs of water damage or see visible mold growth, don’t hesitate to address it promptly.

Stay vigilant about your indoor environment and prioritize your family’s health during this time.
