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 children's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the children’s bedroom, and it's getting worse. The corners of the room where my son likes to play with his toys seem particularly affected. It’s making me worry about their health, especially since they’ve been coughing more frequently lately. Is there anything specific I can do to clean this area effectively to remove the mold and ensure it stays fresh?

Absolutely, mold can be the culprit behind your children's coughing. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs and other symptoms like sneezing and runny noses. The UAE, including Dubai, experiences humid conditions which are favorable for mold growth especially after a heavy rainfall.

First off, you should definitely look into getting a professional inspection of your home. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations governing residential indoor air quality but ensuring your home is free from contaminants like mold is crucial for the health and well-being of your family. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com if you need a thorough inspection.

Now, to address the immediate issue in your children's bedroom:

1. Inspect and Clean: Start by inspecting the corners where the musty smell is more intense. Look for any visible mold growth or water damage. If there are signs of dampness, it’s important to clean thoroughly. Use a mixture of one cup of bleach per gallon of warm water on affected areas. Scrub gently, allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping dry.

2. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the room. Open windows if possible or use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels. In Dubai’s climate, maintaining low humidity is key; aim for around 40% - 60%. A dehumidifier can help achieve this.

3. Deeper Cleaning: Use a dehumidifying cleaner on walls and floors that have been affected by water or mold. Make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a mask during cleaning activities.

4. Replace Materials: If you find that there is persistent moisture seeping through the wall or floor, consider replacing materials like carpet or padding which can harbor mold growth. Opt for hard-surface flooring where possible in areas prone to moisture issues.

5. Regular Maintenance: Once the area has been cleaned and dried, keep an eye on it regularly. Mold tends to return if conditions are favorable so ensure that the room remains dry and well-ventilated.

6. Consult Professionals: If you find mold growth is recurring or if symptoms persist despite your efforts, seek professional help immediately. We can provide remediation services tailored for Dubai’s climate and regulations.

Remember, while DIY solutions like cleaning and dehumidifying can be effective in the short term, a thorough inspection by professionals will ensure that all sources of moisture are identified and addressed to prevent future issues. Your family's health should always come first, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
