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 cause my children's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my children's room, which has really bothered me. The dampness seems to be lingering near their closet, even though I’ve tried airing out the space multiple times. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and it’s made me worry about mold or mildew building up in that area. Could this be causing their symptoms, and what can I do to address it properly?

Yes, mold can definitely cause your children's coughing. In the UAE, especially during rainy seasons like last month, high humidity levels can create conditions that are perfect for mold growth, particularly in areas like closets where air circulation might be limited. Mold spores can float through the air and land on surfaces, leading to a musty odor you've noticed.

In Dubai, we often see cases of dampness and mold issues, especially after heavy rainfall. The UAE Building Code does require certain standards for indoor moisture levels but it's not uncommon for these conditions to persist unnoticed. Mold can produce allergens and irritants that may lead to respiratory issues such as coughing, particularly in children who have smaller airways.

To properly address this issue, start by ensuring good ventilation in the room. Opening windows briefly after a rain shower or using dehumidifiers can help reduce moisture levels. However, it’s crucial to identify the source of the dampness and treat it accordingly. Leaky pipes or poor drainage around your home should be checked and repaired immediately.

I recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional environmental service provider like us here at Saniservice. We offer expert assessments for mold growth and can provide remediation solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate conditions. Don’t hesitate to give us a call on 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, addressing the issue early is key in preventing further health problems for your children. By taking proactive steps now, you can ensure a healthier indoor environment for them to grow and thrive in.

Stay proactive and stay healthy!
