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 be causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from under my kitchen cabinets. The walls seem damp too, especially by the sink area. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits every morning, and I’ve started to wonder if it might be related to mold or mildew buildup down there. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Certainly! Mold growth can indeed be a serious concern, especially in an environment like the UAE where humidity levels are generally low but unexpected weather events, such as heavy rains, can cause significant moisture build-up. In Dubai or any other part of the UAE, persistent dampness or musty smells should not be ignored, particularly if they seem to coincide with respiratory symptoms in your kids.

The scenario you described sounds very concerning and might indeed indicate mold growth. Mold loves moisture and darkness, making spaces like under kitchen cabinets perfect breeding grounds. The damp walls near the sink area could also mean that water is seeping through from plumbing issues or simply due to increased humidity during rainy periods.

Mold spores can be airborne and are known irritants for many people, particularly those with asthma or allergies. These spores can cause symptoms like coughing fits, sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and in some cases, more severe reactions such as shortness of breath or fever if the exposure is significant.

In the UAE, especially Dubai, there aren't specific local regulations that mandate mold testing, but following a proactive approach to indoor air quality can be beneficial. If you suspect mold growth, it's highly recommended that you seek a professional inspection. Saniservice, for instance, offers reliable and prompt services for such issues. You can call them at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment.

Until the situation is resolved, there are some steps you can take to minimize exposure:
1. Ensure good ventilation in the kitchen by opening windows if possible and using exhaust fans.
2. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
3. Keep areas dry after cleaning or cooking.
4. Regularly inspect and maintain your plumbing to prevent leaks.

Remember, early intervention is key! Don't hesitate to call for professional help if you suspect mold growth. Your family's health should be the top priority.
