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 damp walls lead to mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the corner of my bedroom. The walls seem to be retaining moisture even though I’ve been drying them regularly. My kids have been coughing more frequently, especially at night, which has us really concerned. Could this be related to mold or other contaminants?

Yes, damp walls can indeed lead to mold growth and that's worrisome especially given the conditions you've described. In dubai, we frequently see humidity levels rise after rain events, which can create favorable environments for molds to thrive. The coughing your kids are experiencing could be related to this issue.

Molds require moisture, a food source (such as cellulose in walls), and time to grow. If the dampness is persistent even after regular drying, it's likely that mold spores have taken root. In uae, the regulatory standards such as those outlined in the federal law no 26 of 1987 on public health and safety require all buildings to maintain a certain level of cleanliness and hygiene.

To address this situation, i would strongly recommend a professional inspection by a certified environmental consultant or remediation expert. They can identify if mold is present and assess the extent of the contamination. If you're in dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for immediate assistance or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.

In addition to professional help, here are some steps you can take while waiting:

1. Stop the source of moisture: Ensure that water is not entering your home through leaks in the roof, walls, or windows.
2. Increase ventilation: Use fans and open windows to reduce humidity levels.
3. Dry out wet areas: Use dehumidifiers if available; they can help lower moisture content in the air.
4. Clean up visible mold: If you notice small patches of mold, clean them with a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water (but be cautious as this is only for minor issues).

Remember that prevention is key! Regularly check your home’s condition during periods of high humidity and address any moisture issues promptly.
