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 cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. The area around where the old carpet met the wall seems to be the worst, almost like mold is developing there. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m starting to wonder if this could be related. Could cleaning products or mold in that area be causing their symptoms?

Mold sure could be behind your kids' coughing. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system and cause allergic reactions which may result in coughing, especially if your children are sensitive or have asthma. In UAE, like in many places, mold thrives in damp, humid conditions - something that might be present where old carpet met the wall.

In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to address potential mold issues quickly due to our climate and building practices which can promote moisture accumulation. If you suspect mold is causing your children’s coughs, it's wise to act fast and get a professional inspection. These inspections are governed by local laws and guidelines set forth in the UAE Public Health Regulations.

Cleaning up mild cases yourself might help but isn't always sufficient, especially if the mold has spread or if conditions like humidity remain high. You could try using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture in that area, which is common practice here. Yet, the best course of action is to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for expert assistance.

Remember, some mold can be hidden and difficult to spot without professional tools. Saniservice specializes in environmental inspections and remediation services that comply with UAE standards. They offer thorough evaluations and solutions tailored for our climate conditions, ensuring your family’s health is protected against potential hazards like mold.

It's also important to keep an eye on indoor air quality overall. Using HEPA filters in your home can help capture airborne particles including mold spores. Regular maintenance of HVAC systems and proper ventilation are key in minimizing the risk of mold growth.
