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 flood cause family health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy flooding we experienced last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our basement. The walls seem damp even though I wiped them down regularly. My kids have been coughing more than usual, and my husband has had a persistent sore throat. Could this be related to mold or other contaminants from the flood?

Absolutely, floods can definitely have serious implications for your family's health. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, heavy flooding can lead to a myriad of issues, one of which is mold growth. Mold thrives in damp and humid environments – exactly like what you're describing with the musty smell and damp walls after the flood.

In terms of regulations, the UAE has specific guidelines for dealing with such situations. For instance, under the Building Control Regulations 2013, any property damaged by water or flooding should undergo thorough inspection to ensure safety and compliance before it's deemed fit for habitation again. Given your symptoms - coughing in kids and a sore throat in your husband – these could indeed be related to mold exposure.

Mold spores can become airborne and when breathed in, they can cause respiratory issues, especially in children and those with compromised immune systems or allergies. The dampness you're noticing is a clear sign of potential mold growth, which needs addressing swiftly to prevent further health complications.

I would strongly recommend getting your home inspected by a professional who specializes in indoor environmental quality. They can assess the extent of water damage, check for hidden moisture, and identify any existing or potential mold issues. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their expertise in this area. You could give them a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take on your own:
1. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible.
2. Use a dehumidifier if available to reduce moisture levels in the air.
3. Clean surfaces regularly with solutions that can kill mold spores.
4. If you notice any discoloration or fuzzy growth, it’s best to treat those areas immediately.

Remember, addressing these issues promptly is crucial not just for your health but also to prevent further damage to your property. Stay proactive and take the necessary steps towards a healthier home environment.
