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.

Should I worry about mold odor affecting kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy odor coming from the bedroom closet. It’s really only noticeable when we open the windows or run the AC, which happens quite frequently in this part of Dubai during these humid spells. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing, especially after being inside for a few hours. Is there anything I can do to improve the air quality in my home to make sure they’re not exposed to harmful mold?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold odor affecting your kids. Mold can release spores and mycotoxins into the air which can cause a range of health issues especially for children who have less developed immune systems. In dubai, it's not uncommon to encounter humidity spikes during rainy seasons, making your situation quite common.

Firstly, it's important to understand that UAE regulations do require proper indoor environmental quality standards but specific guidelines regarding mold are generally more focused on public buildings and not residences. However, the health of your family is paramount, so addressing this issue promptly is essential.

To start with, I'd recommend you to open up the closet and check for any visible signs of mold growth. If you find any, it's crucial to clean it properly using a solution of water and detergent or a specialized mold cleaner. Always wear gloves and ensure good ventilation during cleaning. Afterward, make sure to dry everything thoroughly.

However, if you suspect that the mold is deeply embedded in the closet walls or if your kids' symptoms persist despite initial cleanup efforts, I highly recommend calling for a professional inspection. Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) can provide comprehensive testing to identify the source and extent of any mold problems.

Additionally, you might want to invest in an air purifier equipped with HEPA filters which are effective against mold spores and other allergens. Also, consider using dehumidifiers or running a fan when you open windows to minimize moisture levels inside your home.

Regularly checking for signs of water damage and ensuring proper ventilation can prevent future occurrences. Keeping indoor plants away from damp areas and sealing any cracks in walls might also help reduce humidity.

Lastly, keep an eye on your kids' health. If their symptoms don’t improve after taking these steps, it’s wise to consult a pediatrician who could provide additional guidance based on their specific condition.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to ensuring the well-being of you and your family in dubai's climate.
