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.

Can mold cause coughing and how to fix?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my son's room. It’s particularly strong near his wardrobe and even makes him cough sometimes when he gets out of bed at night. The windowsill is usually quite clean, but there seems to be some mold starting to form along the baseboard. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any tips on how to get rid of musty smells and prevent mold in a child’s room?

Absolutely, mold can definitely cause coughing. In the UAE especially during rainy seasons like the one you're experiencing, it's important to address any moisture issues promptly to prevent mold growth and associated health problems.

In Dubai, we've seen similar cases where mold has led to respiratory issues in children. The musty smell near your son’s wardrobe could be a sign of hidden dampness which is creating an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive. Mold can produce allergens that irritate the airways, and some types are capable of triggering coughing fits.

To tackle this issue effectively, it's crucial to first identify all sources of moisture in your home. Check areas like the baseboard near windowsills which you mentioned is starting to show signs of mold growth. Also, inspect behind furniture such as his wardrobe where airflow might be limited and humidity can accumulate. If the problem seems extensive or recurring despite your efforts, it would be wise to consult with a professional environmental inspection company.

In Dubai, regulations require proper management of moisture and mold. The UAE Federal Law No. 13 of 2005 on Building Control mandates that buildings must meet certain standards for indoor air quality and structural integrity. Ensure any remediation work is done by licensed professionals who can ensure compliance with these laws.

To start addressing the situation:
• Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels in your son’s room.
• Clean surfaces regularly using solutions like diluted bleach or specialized mold cleaners.
• Increase ventilation by opening windows if possible, especially after rainy days.
• Consider installing an air purifier equipped with HEPA filters to capture airborne spores.

For more complex issues, Saniservice is a trusted name for environmental inspections and remediation. Their team can provide a comprehensive assessment of the situation in your home and recommend appropriate treatments. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember to keep an eye on any changes in your son’s health, especially if symptoms persist or worsen despite cleaning efforts. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage from mold exposure.
