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 behind curtains harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we experienced last month, I noticed a significant amount of mold growing behind the curtains in the living room. It’s starting to spread, and it's quite alarming. The kids have been complaining of respiratory issues since this week, which has me worried that it might be related. How urgent is it to address this issue, and what steps should I take immediately?

Absolutely, mold behind curtains can be causing those respiratory issues for your kids. It's really crucial to act swiftly and carefully.

First off, let me assure you that the UAE has specific guidelines regarding indoor air quality and mold control, which are closely aligned with international standards. For instance, the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHP) emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in homes, especially after heavy rainfall events like the ones we've had recently.

Now, given that you're noticing mold growth behind curtains and it's spreading, it’s highly recommended to have a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide comprehensive assessments of your indoor environment. They are well-versed in identifying not just visible mold but also potential sources and triggers of its growth.

In the meantime, there are a few immediate steps you should take:

1. Ventilation: Ensure that the living room is well-ventilated to reduce moisture levels. Open windows if possible or use dehumidifiers.
2. Cleaning: Gently clean the affected areas with a solution of water and detergent. Always wear protective gear such as gloves, mask, and goggles during cleaning.
3. Safety First: If you notice any structural damage like water leaks, address them immediately to prevent further mold growth.
4. Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on your kids’ health. If their symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for professional advice.

Remember, mold can cause various health issues including respiratory problems and allergic reactions. It's not only important but also urgent to tackle this issue promptly to ensure the well-being of you and your family. Take action today and protect your home environment!
