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 mold cause my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, which has a musty smell that lingers even after airing out. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s related to the air quality in our home. Could this be a sign of mold growth or poor ventilation?

Yes, dampness and mold could very well be the cause of your kids' coughs. In the UAE, particularly during this time of year, humidity can reach uncomfortable levels leading to moisture issues like the one you're experiencing. Mold spores thrive in damp environments, and once they start growing, they release allergens that can irritate the airways causing symptoms such as coughing.

In Dubai, it’s not uncommon for property owners to face challenges with indoor air quality due to poor ventilation or after rain events. The musty smell you mentioned is a clear indicator of mold growth in your closet. Mold doesn't just grow on visible surfaces; it can also be present behind walls and under carpets which might explain why airing out the area isn't sufficient.

According to UAE standards, such as those set by the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning (MMUP), indoor environments should maintain relative humidity levels below 60% to prevent mold growth. Your bedroom closet seems like an environment where these levels may be exceeded due to its confined space and reduced airflow.

The coughing fits your kids are experiencing could indeed be related to their exposure to the mold spores in your home. Children, especially those with weakened immune systems or existing respiratory conditions, can be more susceptible to such irritants.

If you suspect that mold is causing these issues, it's advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation of the area. Early detection and treatment are crucial in preventing further health complications and ensuring your family’s well-being.

Remember, addressing mold issues promptly can help avoid long-term health concerns and improve the overall indoor air quality of your home. Don't hesitate to act now before the problem worsens!
