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 causing my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the corner of our living room where my daughter has her play area. The carpet there is particularly damp despite me using dehumidifiers. Yesterday, she started coughing quite badly, and it made me wonder if mold or some kind of infection might be growing from that spot. Could this be causing her symptoms? What should I do to clean it properly and ensure it’s safe for the family?

Could Mold Be Causing My Daughter's Cough?

Yes, it is definitely possible that mold could be causing your daughter's cough. The musty smell you've noticed and the damp carpet suggest there might be a mold issue, especially after recent rain. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE like Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, such moisture problems can indeed lead to mold growth, which can produce allergens and spores that irritate the respiratory system.

Mold can release microscopic particles into the air when it grows in damp areas, potentially triggering allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and coughing. For children, especially those with weakened immune systems or existing conditions like asthma, exposure to mold could exacerbate their symptoms and cause new ones such as a persistent cough.

Given that your daughter has recently started coughing and the timing seems suspiciously close to noticing the damp carpet, it would be prudent to take action promptly.

Firstly, ensure you address the moisture issue by thoroughly drying out the area with dehumidifiers or fans if they aren't already in use. However, don't just rely on these tools alone; professional services are recommended for thorough mold removal and inspection.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 (Saniservice) to schedule a professional assessment. These companies specialize in mold remediation and can help ensure that the area is properly cleaned, decontaminated, and any remaining spores are eliminated. They will also provide advice on how to prevent future mold growth.

In addition to professional help, you might want to take some immediate steps:
• Move your daughter's play area away from the damp spot
• Wash any affected fabrics like toys or blankets in hot water
• Use HEPA filters in air purifiers to capture and remove airborne mold spores

Remember, keeping indoor spaces dry and well-ventilated is key. Regular maintenance can help prevent mold growth but isn't always enough.

Taking these steps should help improve the situation for your daughter, but if her symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
