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 musty smell harming my children's health?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new flat a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the bedroom where my children sleep. The humidity seems particularly high in that room, even though I keep the windows closed most of the time to avoid dust. My kids have been complaining about coughing and sneezing more frequently, especially at night. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality? What steps can I take to improve it for my family's health?

Absolutely, the musty smell and high humidity levels in your child's bedroom could indeed be impacting their health. In dubai, uae where we have a generally dry climate, indoor environments can sometimes develop conditions that promote mold growth and other allergens which might explain those complaints of coughing and sneezing.

First off, mold spores thrive in damp, humid areas - like the one you're describing in your bedroom. They can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and even worsen asthma symptoms. Given this, it's crucial to address the problem promptly to ensure a healthy environment for your children.

To start, I'd recommend checking the humidity levels using a hygrometer. Ideally, indoor spaces should maintain between 30% to 50% relative humidity. If you find the humidity is above 60%, then there's likely an issue with moisture that needs addressing.

Regularly check for any water leaks or condensation issues in the room. Ensure proper ventilation by using exhaust fans when cooking, bathing, and even during laundry. It’s also helpful to open windows occasionally if the air quality outside seems better.

If these steps don't resolve the situation, consider hiring a professional environmental inspection company like Saniservice. They can conduct thorough testing for mold, moisture sources, and overall indoor air quality in your home. Their services comply with uae standards and regulations which are stringent to ensure public health.

In the meantime, you might also want to use dehumidifiers or air purifiers specifically designed for your area. Saniservice offers reliable models that fit well within the climate of dubai.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further guidance or assistance with this matter. Remember, a healthy home is not just about aesthetics but also about safeguarding your family's wellbeing. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more support.

Always keep an eye on how your kids react and if symptoms persist despite these measures, it’s best to consult with a medical professional too.
