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.

Should I worry about mold causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom closet. It's concerning because my kids have been coughing a lot lately, and I’m worried it might be from mold or mildew. Should I hire professional cleaning services to address this, or are there DIY methods that could work?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold causing your kids' coughs. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience varying humidity levels that can create ideal conditions for mold growth. If there was a heavy rain last month as you mentioned, it could have led to moisture accumulation in your closet and nearby areas.

Mold spores are tiny and can easily be inhaled, especially by kids whose immune systems might not be fully developed. They can trigger coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and other respiratory issues. In severe cases, they can even worsen asthma symptoms or lead to infections for those with weakened immune systems.

Given the situation you described, it's essential to take prompt action. I recommend hiring professional cleaning services if the smell is persistent or if you notice any visible mold growth. They have the necessary expertise and equipment to thoroughly clean and decontaminate your closet without causing further damage.

However, before calling for professionals, here are some DIY steps you can try:
1. Open windows and use fans to ensure proper ventilation.
2. Use a dehumidifier or air purifier to reduce moisture in the area.
3. Clean surfaces with a mixture of water and vinegar or a commercial mold cleaner.
4. Scrub away any visible mold growth using gloves and masks.

Remember, if you notice any discoloration, fuzzy growth, or musty smell, it could indicate active mold. You should also check for signs like peeling paint or wet spots on walls which might have gone unnoticed due to the closet's location.

For a free consultation or more specific advice tailored to your situation, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide you with expert guidance and help prevent potential health issues for your family.

Stay proactive about indoor air quality in Dubai!
