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.

Is mold from storm damage harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a musty smell and some mold growing on the ceiling of our living room. My children have been complaining of coughs and congestion, especially when they come home from school. Could this be related to the water damage and lack of proper ventilation? What steps should I take to address this issue safely?

Yes, the musty smell and visible mold growth after the storm could definitely be related to water damage and lack of proper ventilation. In Dubai/UAE, mold growth due to damp conditions is a common issue, especially following heavy rainfall or storms.

Mold spores can trigger respiratory issues in individuals, particularly children who are more susceptible because their immune systems are still developing. The coughs and congestion your kids have been experiencing could be linked to the presence of these spores. It’s important that you act swiftly to address this situation before it worsens.

Firstly, ensure immediate removal of any standing water from the area. Use a wet-dry vacuum or mop up the moisture to prevent further mold growth. Open windows if possible for natural ventilation but keep an eye on outdoor humidity levels which can be high in Dubai during storms.

Given the seriousness and potential health impact, I strongly advise you to seek professional help. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice are well-versed with local regulations such as EN 15026:2008, which guides remediation practices, and can provide a thorough assessment of the situation.

Saniservice's contact details are:
Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com

Remember to wear protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and goggles when handling mold. Professional remediation services will ensure that all areas affected by the storm damage are properly cleaned and treated to prevent future outbreaks.

Lastly, consider enhancing your home’s ventilation system post-remediation, perhaps installing dehumidifiers or exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture tends to accumulate more easily.

Taking these steps not only addresses the current issue but also sets a foundation for better indoor environmental quality moving forward.
