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 causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It's gotten worse over the past few days, and now there seems to be a visible mold growing on some of the shelves. My kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing more than usual since we moved into this apartment two years ago. Could this be related to the mold? What steps should I take to address it safely?

Yes, it's possible that the mold in your bedroom closet could be causing your kids' symptoms. Mold can produce allergens and irritants that may lead to respiratory issues such as coughing, sneezing, and other allergic reactions. Given how long you've been living in this apartment, it’s important not to ignore these signs.

In Dubai/UAE, mold is a common issue post-rainfall or due to humidity variations. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and the presence of mold, especially within residential properties. According to the UAE Building Code, proper ventilation and moisture control measures are necessary to prevent mold growth and ensure occupant health.

Given your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. They will be able to identify the extent of the mold problem and provide appropriate remediation strategies.

To start addressing the issue yourself, you should first ensure that the area is well-ventilated and dry. Use a dehumidifier if necessary to reduce moisture levels. Remove any items affected by mold and clean them thoroughly with a mixture of water and household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), making sure to wear protective clothing and goggles.

It’s also important to prevent future growth by sealing any leaks or sources of dampness, ensuring good ventilation in the closet, and using moisture-resistant materials where needed. Regularly inspecting high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens can help catch mold early.

Remember, tackling mold issues requires careful handling to avoid spreading it further. Professional intervention is often recommended for thorough cleaning and treatment.

Take action now to protect your family's health and ensure a safe living environment.
