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 moisture cause mold and harm my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in our bedroom closet. My kids have been having frequent sniffles and congestion lately, and it's making me worried they might be breathing in something harmful from all that moisture. Could this be causing their coughs or could there be mold growing in there? What steps should I take to clean and check for any issues?

Could moisture cause mold and harm my kids?

Yes, definitely. Moisture is indeed one of the major triggers for mold growth, especially in humid climates like we experience here in Dubai/UAE. Mold spores are everywhere; they just need a damp environment to flourish. The bedroom closet seems like an ideal spot for them given that it's likely not well-ventilated and might retain moisture post-rain.

If you're experiencing persistent sniffles, congestion, or coughs among your kids, there could be a connection to the mold growth in your closet. These symptoms can occur due to mold exposure as some molds produce allergens, irritants, and mycotoxins that can cause respiratory issues, especially in children whose immune systems are still developing.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Inspect the Closet: Start by checking for any visible signs of moisture or water damage on walls, ceilings, or floorboards. Look out for discolored patches or musty odors, which could indicate mold growth.
2. Clean and Dry Thoroughly: If you notice dampness but no active mold yet, clean the closet with a mixture of water and detergent, then dry it completely. Ensure good air circulation by opening windows if possible or using a dehumidifier.
3. Use Mold-Resistant Products: In future, consider lining your closet with moisture-resistant materials to reduce the risk of mold developing.

However, given that you’re in Dubai, a region known for its high humidity and occasional rainfall, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. Saniservice, located here in the UAE, can provide thorough testing for molds and other contaminants. They use advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras which can detect moisture spots even if they're not visibly wet.

If you decide to proceed with hiring them, call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Early detection and remediation of mold issues are crucial to protect your family’s health.

Remember, while taking initial steps like cleaning the closet can be helpful, a professional's input ensures that all possible sources of moisture and mold are addressed, preventing future issues.
