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 kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the storage room where we keep all the cleaning supplies. The AC in our apartment seems to be exacerbating the issue by spreading the odor throughout the house. My kids have been coughing and sneezing more than usual, which has got me worried it might be due to mold or dust mites in there. Could this smell and their symptoms be related, and what should I do to clean up without harming them?

Could Mold Be Causing My Kids' Symptoms?

Yeah, it's possible that mold could be causing those symptoms. The musty smell and coughing/sneezing your kids are experiencing might well point towards a mold infestation, especiallly after the heavy rains we had last month.

In Dubai and UAE in general, humidity levels can soar post-rainfall, creating perfect conditions for molds to grow. If your storage room is damp or poorly ventilated, it could be a breeding ground. AC units can indeed spread these spores around, making things worse inside the home.

Now, it's really important you check this out properly. Get in touch with a professional like ours at Saniservice - we offer free inspections and can tell you if mold is present and how to tackle it safely. In Dubai, regulations require that any remediation work be done by licensed professionals to ensure safety and compliance.

To start tackling the issue on your own, first make sure there's good ventilation in the room. Open windows or use fans if possible, but avoid using the AC as it might just spread things further. Clean the area with a mix of water and detergent - mild soap should do the trick. Scrub all surfaces where mold is likely to be growing like corners, ceilings, walls, and any objects that have been in contact with moisture.

Don't forget to dry everything thoroughly once you've cleaned. If some areas are too wet or hard to reach, consider investing in a dehumidifier - it's particularly useful in high-moisture environments.

If you spot mold, wear protective gear such as gloves and an N95 mask when cleaning up. Also, don't forget about your family's health – if symptoms persist after addressing the issue, consult with a doctor.

So yeah, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com - we can help you get to the bottom of this and keep your home healthy for everyone in it.
