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 bedroom smell harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a lingering dampness in my bedroom, especially when I open the closet door. The smell is quite musty and it’s starting to feel like it might be affecting their health too – my kids have been complaining of coughs and runny noses since it started. How urgent do you think this issue is, and what should we do about it?

The musty smell and dampness you're experiencing could be indicative of a mold issue. Mold thrives in humid environments like the UAE can experience after heavy rains, especially where there's poor ventilation or moisture accumulation. In your case, your kids' complaints about coughs and runny noses suggest that they might indeed be affected by these conditions.

Mold spores can irritate respiratory passages leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose - particularly in children who have more sensitive immune systems. Some molds even produce allergens or irritants that can cause asthma or worsen existing allergies. In serious cases, exposure could lead to other health issues.

Given the situation, it's crucial you take immediate action. Firstly, ensure proper ventilation by opening windows if possible and using dehumidifiers or air conditioners set to a lower humidity setting. Secondly, check for any obvious signs of water damage like wet patches on walls or ceilings, which might indicate past leaks.

It’s also advisable to have a professional inspection done through a company licensed in the UAE such as Saniservice. They can assess the situation accurately and provide solutions tailored to your home. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you could email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Don’t delay, act now to ensure a healthy indoor environment for your family in Dubai!
