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 rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The air feels stale and damp, especially during the day when the humidity is at its peak. My kids have been coughing more frequently since we moved into our new apartment two years ago, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s related to the cleaning products or some unseen mold issue. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could Mold Be Causing My Kids' Coughs?

Hello! It's concerning to hear that your kids have been coughing more frequently and the musty smell you're detecting could be related. In the UAE, especially during our humid season, humidity levels can rise sharply after heavy rains, creating ideal conditions for mold growth indoors.

In Dubai and the wider UAE region, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality but it's important to note that even with adherence to these rules, certain conditions like high humidity can sometimes lead to issues. It would be prudent to have a professional inspection done to assess the situation thoroughly. Our company, Saniservice, offers such services and we recommend you give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com for more details.

The musty smell in your closet might indicate hidden mold growth behind walls, under floors, or on surfaces that haven't been properly dried after the rains. Mold can produce allergens and irritants that could indeed trigger coughing, especially in children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.

It's also worth considering if you've noticed any changes in how often your home is cleaned or what cleaning products are being used now compared to when you first moved in. Sometimes, the choice of cleaner can impact indoor air quality and might contribute to irritation and coughing too.

To help manage symptoms until a professional inspection can be done:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows if possible
• Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels in your home
• Clean surfaces with a mixture of water and vinegar or baking soda, both natural mold inhibitors

Remember that if the mold issue is severe or not handled properly, it could lead to more serious health issues. So don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.

Let's ensure you and your family are breathing easier soon!
