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 causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom closet. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be mold growing on some of the back walls. My kids have also been complaining of coughing and runny noses since we moved here two years ago. Could this be related to the mold?

The musty smell and the presence of mold in your closet could indeed be linked to your kids' symptoms. Mold can produce allergens that irritate the respiratory system leading to coughing, runny noses, and other upper-respiratory tract issues. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where the climate is warm and humid, mold growth due to excess moisture or water damage isn’t uncommon.

According to the UAE's Building Code (Building Regulations 2015), it’s essential to address such situations promptly as mold can pose serious health risks. The code mandates that buildings must be constructed with proper moisture control measures to prevent mold growth and ensure occupant safety.

Given your situation, I would strongly recommend you call in a professional for an inspection. You could reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can assess the extent of mold growth and advise on remediation steps.

In the meantime, ensure you take some preventive measures:
1. Remove any damp materials like carpets or curtains from your closet and replace them with non-porous items.
2. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels in the area.
3. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits.
4. Clean the affected walls thoroughly with a mixture of water and a bit of detergent, then dry completely.

Remember that if you notice mold growth or any signs of dampness, it’s crucial to address these issues as soon as possible to prevent potential health risks for your family. Keep an eye on your kids' symptoms; if they worsen or new ones appear, consult a healthcare provider immediately.

Stay proactive and take care of the indoor environment in your home!
