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 causing our allergy symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the basement level where my son’s room is located. The air feels heavy and sticky, especially during these hot summer days when the AC tries to keep up but fails miserably. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, which worries me given all the construction dust that seems to be lingering around. Could this be from mold or some other health hazard? What should I do about it?

Absolutely, the musty smell and your kids' coughing could be signs of mold growth. Mold is common during summer months here in Dubai as the humidity levels can spike making conditions perfect for mold to flourish especially in poorly ventilated or damp areas like basements.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's crucial to take immediate action when you suspect mold presence due to the specific climate and building types we face. The construction dust from recent developments could indeed be contributing to this issue. High humidity levels can lead to condensation on cooler surfaces which is a breeding ground for mold spores.

Given your situation, I recommend contacting professionals such as SanIService at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They have the expertise and equipment necessary to properly inspect your basement and identify if there's any mold growth. Remember that some molds can produce allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances known as mycotoxins which might be affecting your family's health.

While you wait for their visit, here are a few steps you can take:
• Ensure proper ventilation in the basement. Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air circulation.
• Use dehumidifiers if available; they can help reduce humidity and prevent mold growth.
• Keep an eye on moisture levels using a hygrometer. Aim for below 60% relative humidity.

Remember, early detection and removal of mold are key to maintaining good indoor environmental quality. If the problem persists or worsens despite your efforts, don't hesitate to seek further professional assistance.

Take care of yourself and your family by addressing this issue promptly.
