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 dampness and cough be from mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness and musty smell in my bedroom, even though the windows were shut tight. My kids have been complaining of a persistent cough, and now my throat feels scratchy too. Could this be from mold or something else?

Dampness and cough could definitely be from mold. In the UAE, especially after heavy rains like we've had recently, mold growth is a common concern. Mold loves moist environments and can easily thrive in damp spots around your home.

In Dubai/UAE, indoor air quality standards are regulated to ensure health and comfort for residents. The UAE Ministry of Community Development has guidelines that recommend maintaining dry conditions within buildings to prevent the proliferation of moisture-loving organisms like mold. If you've noticed a musty smell or persistent cough since the rain last month, it's very likely due to mold.

Mold can produce allergens and irritants that might affect your health, particularly in children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. A scratchy throat could be another symptom related to mold exposure. Mold can also weaken structural elements of buildings over time if left unchecked.

For an accurate assessment of the situation, I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can determine whether your bedroom is affected by mold and provide solutions tailored to the UAE climate. Early detection and remediation are key in mitigating health risks associated with mold.

In the meantime, try to increase ventilation if you can do so safely without letting more moisture into the space. Use dehumidifiers or air conditioning units that have a dehumidify function to help control humidity levels. Avoid using fans directly on surfaces as this could spread spores around your home.

Remember, dealing with mold isn't just about getting rid of it; you need to address the underlying moisture issues too. A professional can not only clean but also recommend long-term solutions such as waterproofing and sealing areas prone to dampness.

If symptoms persist after taking these steps or if you find signs of active mold growth, please seek a professional's advice promptly. Your health is important, and in the UAE climate, we need to be vigilant about our indoor environments.
