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.

Is mold causing my family's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement, and now I'm seeing some black spots on the walls and floor. The AC in my apartment seems to be running more often than usual too. My kids have been coughing and sneezing a lot lately, and I’m really worried it might be because of mold. Could this all be connected? How can I check for mold or get rid of it if that’s the case?

Absolutely, it sounds like the situation could be related to mold. The musty smell and black spots on your walls are classic signs of mold growth. Additionally, the increased usage of your AC system might indicate high humidity levels in the basement which can lead to mold proliferation.

Mold is a serious matter especially considering its potential health impacts. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's not uncommon for homes to experience mold issues after heavy rains or other moisture-related problems. The symptoms you're noticing with your kids—coughing and sneezing—are common reactions to mold exposure.

To properly address this issue, I'd strongly recommend getting a professional inspection done. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can provide detailed assessments and recommendations tailored for local conditions. You should call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment.

Until you can get expert help, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the situation:
1. Stop any ongoing water leaks immediately.
2. Ensure good ventilation in the basement by opening windows if possible and using dehumidifiers.
3. Clean surfaces where mold is present with a mixture of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) followed by thorough drying.
4. Wash or replace any porous materials that have been heavily affected.

Remember, while these steps can help manage the situation temporarily, they are not substitutes for professional treatment. Mold remediation involves specific techniques and equipment which may be beyond DIY capabilities. Professional assistance will ensure a safe and effective resolution to your issue.

Stay proactive about addressing this problem as prolonged exposure to mold can have serious health effects, especially on children. Keep an eye out for any changes in symptoms and seek medical advice if necessary.
