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 growth cause my kids' sniffles?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement where we store our winter coats. My children have been complaining of sniffles and coughs since we moved the coats down there a few weeks ago. Given that the basement is directly below my kids' room, could this be related to mold growth due to the wet conditions?

Yes, mold growth could very well be the culprit behind your kids' sniffles. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can soar during rainy seasons, making conditions ripe for mold to thrive. If water has seeped into walls or floors of your basement due to recent heavy rains, it's possible that mold is starting to grow in a hidden spot.

Molds produce allergens, irritants, and sometimes toxic substances known as mycotoxins which can cause respiratory issues like coughing and sniffles. The musty smell you're noticing suggests the presence of moisture and possibly active mold growth.

Given your kids' room is directly above this area, the air quality could be affecting them easily. Mold spores are lightweight and can travel through air currents to upper floors. This explains why your children might have started experiencing symptoms since moving their winter coats down there a few weeks ago.

I would highly recommend calling in professionals for an inspection. Saniservice.com or contacting 800-MOLDS (800-66537) can help you assess the situation and take necessary actions to prevent further health risks. They will have the tools and expertise to properly identify any mold growth, assess the extent of contamination, and recommend a remediation plan that fits your specific situation.

In addition to professional intervention, there are some steps you can take immediately:
• Increase ventilation in the basement by using exhaust fans or opening windows if weather permits.
• Clean up any visible water stains or leaks promptly.
• Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels, especially during rainy seasons.
• Consider sealing gaps around pipes and other areas where water could enter.

Remember, addressing mold issues early can prevent bigger problems down the road. Don't hesitate to act now to ensure your family's health and comfort.
