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 the closet mold causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange moldy smell coming from our bedroom closet. The humidity has always seemed high in that area, even though we use a dehumidifier. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor air quality. Is there anything specific I can do to improve the situation?

The closet mold could definitely be contributing to your kids' coughs. Mold growth is notorious for releasing spores and mycotoxins into the air which can irritate respiratory systems, especially in children who have smaller, more sensitive airways. In the UAE, particularly during the humid months like September and October post-rain, it's not uncommon to see increased mold activity.

Firstly, I'd recommend checking out the humidity levels in your bedroom closet with a hygrometer. Ideal indoor relative humidity should be around 30-60%. If the area is consistently above this range, you'll need to address the moisture issue head-on. Using a dehumidifier alone might not be sufficient; you may also want to consider improving ventilation or addressing any underlying water issues like leaking pipes.

I would strongly advise having your indoor air quality professionally assessed by Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a comprehensive inspection and recommend the best course of action, whether it's additional dehumidification, mold remediation, or other necessary steps.

In the meantime, here are some practical tips:
• Increase air circulation in the closet by opening doors slightly if possible.
• Place fans to blow fresh air into the closet.
• Clean out any accumulated dust and debris as they can be a breeding ground for mold.
• Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner when cleaning up moldy areas to capture tiny spores.

Remember, persistent coughing could indicate more than just mold. It's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional if symptoms continue or worsen. Your kids' health is paramount and addressing indoor air quality issues should be a top priority in ensuring their well-being especially during these changing weather conditions.
