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' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy smell lingering in our bedroom. It’s particularly noticeable when we open the window at night. My kids have been coughing more frequently since then, especially early mornings before we clean up the area. Could this be linked to indoor air quality?

Absolutely could be! Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues, especially in children. The coughing your kids are experiencing might indeed be linked to the mold growth you've noticed.

In Dubai and UAE, indoor air quality regulations aren't as strictly enforced as in some other regions, but that doesn’t mean it's not a concern. After heavy rains, moisture levels can increase, creating ideal conditions for mold to flourish. If the smell of mold is present, particularly when windows are opened at night, it’s probable that mold spores are being released into your home.

The coughing you've noticed, especially in the mornings before cleaning, could be due to the mold releasing allergens and irritants as it grows. These can irritate the respiratory tract and lead to symptoms like coughing and wheezing, especially among children who might have more sensitive airways.

I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. An expert will be able to identify if there's mold growth, where it is located, and how best to address the issue. They can also advise on improving your home’s indoor air quality in general.

While you're waiting for a professional, here are some tips:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits
• Use dehumidifiers to keep humidity levels below 50%
• Clean areas where moisture is likely to accumulate like bathrooms and kitchens regularly
• Consider installing a HEPA air purifier in the bedroom

Remember, tackling mold properly can take time and effort, but it’s crucial for your family's health. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more advice or help.
