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 mold from rain harming my son?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange mold growth behind the bookshelf in the children's room. It’s concerning because my son has been coughing more often lately, and I’m worried it might be related to this. Should I be taking specific steps to address the mold?

Is mold from rain harming my son? That's a valid concern and one that needs to be addressed promptly. Mold growth behind bookshelves can indeed pose health risks, especially for children who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen an increase in mold issues following heavy rainfall events. The high humidity combined with poor ventilation often leads to dampness and subsequent mold colonies. In your case, since you noticed a recent increase in coughing from your son, it's crucial to act quickly.

Firstly, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for an inspection by a professional. They can assess the severity of the mold problem and provide guidance on how to proceed. Saniservice.com is also another contact point where you could email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In the meantime, there are some immediate steps you can take:
1. Open windows if it's safe to do so to allow air circulation.
2. Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels in the room.
3. Clean the affected area with a solution of water and bleach or a mold-killing cleaner recommended by professionals.
4. Ensure proper ventilation by using exhaust fans while cooking, bathing, and drying clothes.

It's important to address this issue quickly because prolonged exposure to mold can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and in some cases, more serious health problems. Keeping your home well-ventilated and dry is key to preventing future outbreaks of mold.

Remember that in the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating indoor air quality checks after rainfall events, but adhering to best practices like those mentioned can help maintain a healthy living environment for you and your family. Always seek professional advice when dealing with significant mold issues as they may require specialized cleaning or remediation techniques.

Stay proactive about maintaining good indoor air quality; it's an investment in the health of your household members.
