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 ceiling leak harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It's getting worse as it gets more humid outside. The walls seem damp too, and when I looked closer, there’s some greenish stuff growing in the corners near where water might be pooling from the ceiling leak we fixed a few years ago. My kids have been coughing quite a bit lately, and I’m worried it could be mold affecting their health. Is this something that could really affect them, and what should I do to get rid of it safely?

Yes, mold from a ceiling leak could be harmful to your kids. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have seen numerous instances where moisture and poor ventilation lead to mold growth. Mold not only emits unpleasant odors but can also release spores that irritate respiratory systems, exacerbating coughs and other symptoms. For children with sensitive health conditions, these effects can be even more pronounced.

When you noticed the greenish stuff in your closet near a possible leak area, it's crucial to take action quickly. Mold thrives in damp environments like those found in bathrooms or closets following leaks from ceilings. The fact that you've seen it growing suggests there could be ongoing moisture issues which need attention before they worsen.

Given the potential health risks and the specific conditions in Dubai with high humidity during certain times of the year, I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done as soon as possible. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in mold remediation practices that comply with local regulations such as those set out by the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Ministry of Community Development.

To address this issue safely:
1. Stop the source of moisture - Repair any leaks to prevent further mold growth.
2. Dry the area thoroughly - Use fans or dehumidifiers if necessary but ensure proper ventilation.
3. Remove affected materials - This might involve replacing drywall, carpeting, and other damp items.
4. Clean with appropriate solutions - Use a solution of water and detergent to clean surfaces, followed by a bleach solution for more severe cases.
5. Professional remediation - For extensive mold growth, hiring professionals can ensure the area is cleaned effectively while protecting your family from exposure.

Do not hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and professional service. Ignoring this issue could lead to more serious health complications, especially among young children.
