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 our nighttime coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the closet area in my bedroom. The AC has been on almost non-stop since then, but the smell still lingers and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every night. Could this be related to mold growth or some other indoor air quality issue?

Could mold be causing our nighttime coughs?

Mold growth is indeed one of the most common culprits behind unpleasant odors and health issues like coughing in a post-rainy season environment. In Dubai, where high humidity can persist even during cooler months, moisture from heavy rains can easily lead to dampness in closets or other enclosed spaces - exactly what mold needs to thrive.

In the UAE, according to local building codes, it's crucial to maintain proper ventilation and dehumidification systems, especially after weather events. Your persistent musty smell could be a sign of mold growth within your closet area. Mold spores can spread quickly through your home’s HVAC system, causing discomfort, particularly for kids who are more susceptible.

Given the symptoms your children are experiencing, it's important to address this issue promptly. Coughing fits might not just be due to irritation from mold; they could indicate an allergic reaction or even respiratory issues. In Dubai, it's common for families to experience such symptoms after rain due to increased humidity and potential mold growth.

I highly recommend contacting a professional service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection. They can assess the situation in your home and provide necessary remediation if mold is present. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing further health issues and property damage.

In the meantime, try to limit access to affected areas and avoid using fans or AC units that might circulate spores. Open windows when weather permits for natural ventilation, but keep an eye on indoor humidity levels.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential in Dubai’s climate. Proper inspection and remediation can help ensure a healthier living environment for your family.
