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 dust and mold cause my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop lately, but the air feels more stuffy than cool. This morning, after opening the windows, I noticed a layer of dust on everything inside, even though I cleaned it just last week. My kids have been complaining of sore throats and coughing, which makes me worry about mold or allergens in the air. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could dust and mold cause my kids' symptoms?

Absolutely, both dust and mold can indeed contribute to respiratory issues like sore throats and coughing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where you're experiencing these problems, it's not uncommon for high humidity levels during summer months or even year-round depending on your building's air conditioning system.

In a typical scenario such as yours, if the AC seems to be running non-stop but isn't effectively cooling the space, it could indicate poor indoor air quality. In the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor environments and air quality, so it’s important to ensure that your apartment is meeting these standards. If you notice excessive dust or mold growth, especially after a thorough cleaning, it might be indicative of underlying issues with your HVAC system.

Dust can harbor a variety of allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and even fragments of mold spores. Mold thrives in damp environments, and if your apartment is experiencing any moisture issues, such as condensation or water leaks, it’s more likely for mold to grow. Given that you've noticed dust on surfaces after only a week since cleaning, this could be a sign that the humidity levels are too high or that there's an issue with air circulation.

The symptoms your kids are exhibiting - sore throats and coughing - are common indicators of respiratory irritation which can result from exposure to mold spores and allergens. If left unaddressed, these conditions could worsen over time.

Given the concerns you have, it would be wise to consult a professional for an indoor air quality assessment. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (you can contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer expert inspections and remediation services that are tailored to the local climate and building conditions.

In the meantime, take some immediate steps to improve your living environment:
• Regularly clean your air conditioner filters
• Use dehumidifiers in areas prone to moisture
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits
• Consider using HEPA filters in your home’s central air system or portable units

By addressing these factors and getting a professional opinion, you can significantly improve the indoor environment for your family.
