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 dampness cause my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and musty smell in my bedroom closet. The carpet there is starting to feel soggy too. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and coughing since they came home from school yesterday. Could these symptoms be related to mold or other contaminants?

Dampness can indeed be the culprit behind your kids' symptoms. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience conditions that make our homes susceptible to moisture-related issues, especially after heavy rains or high humidity spells. The dampness you've noticed in your bedroom closet sounds like a perfect breeding ground for mold growth.

Mold spores thrive in warm, moist environments—exactly what's occurring in your closet. As they grow and spread, these spores can release allergens into the air, triggering respiratory issues such as stuffy noses and coughing among family members, particularly children whose immune systems are still developing. Mold exposure can exacerbate existing conditions like asthma or simply cause new symptoms.

The UAE has specific building codes and guidelines to ensure indoor environmental quality (IEQ). For instance, the Dubai Municipality follows the EN 13788 standard for assessing moisture levels in buildings, which recommends maintaining relative humidity below 60% to minimize mold growth. Given your situation, it's important to take action promptly.

Firstly, I'd recommend addressing the dampness by ensuring proper ventilation and dehumidification of the closet area. Open windows if possible, or use a portable dehumidifier to help reduce moisture levels. Additionally, clean up any visible mold with an appropriate cleaner and consider using mold-resistant products for future maintenance.

However, given the severity of your symptoms and the persistence of dampness, I strongly advise scheduling a professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice in Dubai specialize in identifying and remedying such issues according to local regulations. Their services can help you understand the extent of any contamination and ensure safe removal and treatment.

If you're in need of immediate assistance or have further concerns, feel free to contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for professional guidance or reach out to Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com. Don't wait; addressing these issues quickly can help improve your family's health and comfort.

Remember, maintaining a dry, clean home environment is key in Dubai’s climate. Stay proactive about indoor air quality and always be aware of potential sources of moisture.
