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 asthma triggers after the rain?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the living room of my rental apartment. The AC seems to be making it worse by spreading the odor throughout the space. My kids have been coughing more frequently since we moved back into this area after the storm. Should I be concerned about asthma triggers, and what can I do without risking my deposit or lease?

Yes, you should absolutely be concerned about asthma triggers after the rain. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience significant weather changes that can lead to an increase in moisture levels and consequently, potential issues like mold growth. Mold is a known trigger for asthma symptoms and could very well be the source of the musty smell you're noticing.

Firstly, it's crucial to assess your situation properly. Given the recent rain and persistent odors, I'd strongly recommend getting a professional inspection done. In Dubai, regulations emphasize maintaining indoor air quality; hence, it might be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an evaluation. These professionals can help identify any mold colonies that may have formed due to the moisture and suggest appropriate remediation steps.

In the meantime, you can take some immediate actions without risking your deposit or lease. Start by ensuring good ventilation in your living room. Open windows if possible, but make sure it's not too windy outside. Using a dehumidifier can also help reduce moisture levels. Regularly clean and dry any damp areas with a cloth or towel to prevent mold from forming.

Additionally, consider using air purifiers that are specifically designed to remove airborne allergens such as mold spores. These devices often have HEPA filters which can be very effective in improving indoor air quality.

Lastly, maintain a regular cleaning schedule focusing on high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens where mold is more likely to grow. Use mildewcides or baking soda solutions for cleaning surfaces that might have been affected by the rain.

Remember, it's important to address these issues promptly to protect your family’s health. Asthma symptoms can worsen due to exposure to allergens and irritants like mold, so staying proactive is key. By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of asthma triggers while also safeguarding your living environment.

If after all this, the situation does not improve or if you notice any worsening of your child’s condition, please do not hesitate to contact a medical professional for further advice and treatment options tailored to their specific needs.
