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 our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in the corner of my living room. The area is usually covered with an old Persian rug, but even when it’s not there, the smell lingers. My husband and I have been feeling more tired than usual, and both our kids have started coughing at night. Could this be related to some kind of mold or dust in that corner? What can we do to clean it up properly without causing more health issues for us?

Could mold be causing our symptoms?

Absolutely, it's very likely that the musty smell and persistent coughing could be linked to mold. Mold can grow in damp environments and thrives in areas with high humidity levels, which is not uncommon for Dubai during certain seasons or after heavy dust storms.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we experience varying degrees of moisture due to our climate conditions. Given that the smell persists even when the Persian rug isn't there, it suggests a deeper issue. Mold can grow under carpets and rugs, behind walls, or in corners where air circulation is poor.

The musty odor often indicates the presence of mold spores, which can irritate respiratory systems, leading to coughing and fatigue. In the UAE, health regulations recommend that any suspicion of mold growth should be taken seriously due to the potential impact on residents' well-being.

If you suspect mold in your living room corner, it's crucial to act swiftly. First, try to ensure good ventilation by opening windows if possible or using a fan to improve air circulation. Avoid using dehumidifiers as they can sometimes exacerbate moisture issues; instead, use a damp cloth to wipe down the area where you've noticed the smell.

However, given the severity of your symptoms and concerns about your kids' health, it's highly advisable to call in professionals for an inspection. You might consider reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough assessment and recommend the best course of action.

Remember, if mold is confirmed, it's important to address the issue promptly with proper remediation techniques to prevent further health issues for your family.
