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 increase cleaning staff visits due to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the basement where we keep most of our cleaning supplies. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be because of the dusty environment down there. The cleaning staff only comes once a week, but with the recent increase in humidity, I’m concerned about the health of my family. Should I talk to them about increasing their visits, or is this something that’s normal?

Absolutely, the situation you've described is quite concerning and it's wise to consider increasing cleaning staff visits. In Dubai, especially during the humid months, mold growth can become a serious issue if not managed properly. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for indoor mold control but adhering to best practices ensures compliance with general health standards.

Firstly, it would be prudent to assess the extent of the problem. Since you've noticed a moldy smell and your kids are experiencing more coughs lately, I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done as soon as possible. This can help identify if there's active mold growth and its severity. You could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for such an inspection.

In the meantime, increasing cleaning staff visits is a good step. Considering that mold thrives in damp conditions, more frequent cleanings, especially in areas like your basement where moisture tends to accumulate, can help reduce the risk of mold growth. Aim for at least twice weekly visits or even daily if possible during peak humidity months.

Moreover, ensure proper ventilation and dehumidification in the area where cleaning supplies are stored. This might involve setting up a portable dehumidifier or ensuring good air circulation, especially after rain events which you've experienced recently.

Additionally, it’s important to train your staff on mold prevention practices. They should be aware of signs that indicate potential mold growth and know how to clean areas without exacerbating the situation. Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and masks can also protect both the workers and your family from exposure to harmful spores.

Lastly, keep a close eye on any changes in health symptoms among your family members. If the coughing persists or worsens despite improved cleaning practices, it might be necessary to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out other potential causes.

By taking these steps, you can help mitigate the risks associated with mold and create a healthier environment for both your staff and family.
