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 windows and coughing mean mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness around the windows in my bedroom. It’s been there ever since, even though it hasn’t rained much lately. My kids have been coughing more than usual too, which has me worried about mold or something else. Could this be an issue with indoor air quality, and what should I do to check?

Could damp windows and coughing mean mold?

Well, it sounds like you might be experiencing some indoor air quality issues. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity can certainly play a role in creating damp conditions that lead to moisture accumulation around windows. This is quite common after rain or even with high outdoor humidity levels during certain times of the year.

The strange dampness you've noticed could indeed point towards mold growth. Mold thrives in moist environments and can start growing within 24-48 hours if there's enough humidity present. Given that your kids have been coughing more than usual, it’s definitely worth investigating further as they may be sensitive to the spores released by active mold colonies.

In Dubai, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial due to our climate and building design. While small areas of dampness can often dry out on their own, persistent moisture around windows or other surfaces is a red flag that needs attention.

I'd recommend doing a quick inspection yourself first. Check for signs of mold such as black or greenish patches, musty odors, or water stains. Pay special attention to corners, behind baseboards, and where the wall meets the ceiling, especially if there's been any recent changes in your home’s moisture levels.

However, if you find anything suspicious or if you're unsure about what to look for, it would be best to call a professional for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such cases and can provide thorough assessments using the latest detection methods. They offer services that comply with local regulations, which might include testing for mold spores or assessing other potential allergens.

Remember, it's important not to ignore these signs, as prolonged exposure to mold can lead to respiratory issues, especially in children and individuals with allergies or asthma. Taking prompt action could help prevent more serious health concerns down the line.

So, if you're concerned, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection. They can provide peace of mind and ensure your home is safe and healthy for everyone in it.
