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 dampness and mold cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my living room, especially near the window. The smell is quite unpleasant, but what concerns me most are the sneezing fits and coughing spells that my kids have been having since then. Could this be related to poor air quality from cleaning issues or mold growth?

Yes, dampness and mold could definitely be causing your kids' coughing. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughs, sneezing fits, and other allergic reactions especially in children who have weaker immune systems or pre-existing conditions.

In dubai, we've seen several cases where persistent dampness after a heavy rainfall led to mold growth in living spaces. This is particularly common near windows and doors as these areas are more prone to moisture ingress. The UAE's climate can be quite humid, especially during the summer months, which makes it easier for mold to grow if proper ventilation isn't maintained.

The smell you're noticing could also indicate the presence of mold. A musty odor is a tell-tale sign that mold might be present. It's important to address this issue promptly as prolonged exposure can lead to more severe health problems such as asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and in some cases, even sinusitis or ear infections.

If you suspect there may be an underlying problem, it would be wise to get a professional inspection. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can identify the presence of mold and other contaminants. Our team will also provide recommendations on how to remediate the issue effectively.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take to improve your home's air quality:

1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows whenever possible, especially after rainfall or if you notice high humidity levels.
2. Use dehumidifiers: They help reduce indoor moisture and can be particularly useful in damp areas like bathrooms and basements.
3. Clean regularly: Dust and clean hard surfaces to prevent mold from having a place to grow.
4. Fix leaks immediately: Any water damage should be addressed quickly to avoid further issues.

Remember, early intervention is key to preventing more serious problems. If you're concerned about the condition of your home or need professional help, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.
