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 dampness from storms causing mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a peculiar dampness lingering in our bedroom. The carpet near the window got particularly wet during the downpour, but ever since then, there’s a musty odor that won’t go away. My 6-year-old has been complaining of a persistent cough and my husband seems to be getting more sniffly than usual. Is this likely due to mold growth or something else? How can I address this issue before it affects everyone’s health further?

Dampness from storms can indeed lead to mold growth, especially in humid environments like Dubai. The musty odor and persistent cough your family is experiencing suggest the possibility of mold. Mold thrives in moist conditions, so it's not surprising that moisture from the storm has led to this issue.

In the UAE, particularly in areas like Dubai, we often experience high humidity levels, which can make indoor environments more susceptible to mold growth. The damp carpet near your window is a prime area for mold to develop because of its direct contact with water during the storm. Mold spores are typically present in the air and when they land on a wet surface, they begin to grow.

Given the symptoms you've described—your 6-year-old's persistent cough and your husband’s sniffly nose—it’s wise to address this issue promptly. Mold can produce allergens that irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs, runny noses, and other health issues. For a comprehensive evaluation of your indoor air quality, it would be prudent to seek assistance from a professional inspection service.

In Dubai, you might consider contacting companies like Saniservice, who are well-versed in dealing with mold and moisture-related issues. They can perform thorough inspections and provide remediation services if needed. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com.

To help manage the situation until professional assistance is sought, you could start by improving ventilation in your home. Open windows when weather permits to allow fresh air circulation. Use dehumidifiers and air purifiers if they're available to reduce moisture levels and filter out airborne mold spores.

Also, ensure that any water-damaged areas are cleaned thoroughly. Scrubbing the carpet with a solution of bleach or a specialized mold cleaner can be effective. However, professional treatment is often necessary to completely eliminate all mold from your home’s interior surfaces.

Remember, early detection and prompt action are crucial in preventing long-term health issues associated with mold exposure. Keep an eye on any changes in symptoms among family members as well.
