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 be causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The humidity has always been high there because of how it sits against the wall next to the kitchen, but recently it feels worse than ever. My kids have been coughing more frequently too, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s due to the indoor air quality. Could this be a sign of mold growth?

Absolutely, the musty smell and increased coughing could indeed be a sign of mold growth. High humidity levels can create an ideal environment for molds to thrive, especially in areas like your bedroom closet that are close to walls or kitchen appliances which may increase moisture content.

In Dubai/UAE, we're aware of the specific challenges posed by high humidity, particularly after rainfall. The UAE Building Code (UAEUC) does recommend measures to prevent and control mold growth, including ensuring proper ventilation and dehumidification systems in homes. Given your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection to determine if there is indeed mold and its extent.

Mold can release allergens that irritate the airways leading to coughing, particularly among children who may be more susceptible due to their developing immune systems. The UAE doesn't specifically have regulations targeting indoor air quality as such, but adhering to general building codes and standards is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment.

To address this issue, consider the following steps:
• Increase ventilation in your closet by opening windows or using an exhaust fan.
• Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels.
• Check for any visible signs of mold on surfaces like walls, ceilings, or furniture.
• Regularly clean and dry out damp areas to prevent mold from spreading.

If you suspect mold growth, it's best to call in the professionals. At Saniservice, we can conduct a thorough inspection and provide remediation solutions tailored to your home’s needs. Our contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Remember, early detection and action is key in preventing health issues related to indoor air quality. Keep an eye on any changes in your kids' health and take proactive steps to ensure a healthier living environment.
