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 from last month's rain affect my son?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the corner of my living room. My son has had a persistent cough since then, and it's gotten me worried about mold or dust mites. Could this be causing his symptoms?

Absolutely, mold from the rain last month could be causing your son's persistent cough. Mold spores can indeed trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues, especially in children. In dubai, it’s quite common to have humidity levels that are conducive for mold growth, particularly during the rainy season.

The musty smell you noticed is a strong indicator of potential mold presence. Mold thrives in damp environments and can grow on a variety of materials like drywall, carpets, or furniture - especially if there's been any water damage from rain.

Given your situation, I'd strongly recommend contacting a professional for an inspection. In dubai, it’s crucial to ensure that the air quality is safe, particularly when it comes to children. A qualified expert can identify mold growth and assess whether remediation is needed. You could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment.

Moreover, once the issue is addressed, maintaining good indoor air quality practices is key. Regularly check for any signs of moisture or water damage and ensure that your home’s humidity levels are kept below 60%. Using dehumidifiers can be particularly effective in damp areas. Additionally, regular cleaning with appropriate products such as those containing borax or baking soda can help prevent mold growth.

It's also important to note that mold testing kits available in the market may not always provide accurate results and might miss certain types of molds. Therefore, a professional inspection is advisable for peace of mind and proper remediation if necessary.
