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 dust storm cause mold and health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed an awful musty smell in our master bedroom closet. The symptoms started a few days ago; my partner has been experiencing sneezing fits and a stuffy nose, and even my dog seems to be coughing more than usual. We’ve only lived here for 2 years but this is the first time we’re noticing such strong odors and health issues. Has anyone else experienced something similar or could it be related to mold growth due to the storm?

Absolutely, dust storms can indeed cause mold and health issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen numerous instances where such storms have led to indoor air quality problems. The heavy winds during a storm can stir up dust from outside and carry it into homes and buildings. If conditions are right—high humidity or water damage present—the stirred-up dust can indeed lead to mold growth.

In your case, the musty smell in your master bedroom closet is a big red flag. Mold thrives in damp environments, so if moisture has been present during or after the storm, it could be a breeding ground for these microscopic fungi. The symptoms you and your partner are experiencing—sneezing fits and stuffy noses—are common allergic reactions to mold spores. Your dog's increased coughing might also indicate an irritation from mold or dust.

Given the severity of the situation, I strongly recommend calling in a professional inspection service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a thorough evaluation. They can assess whether there is active mold growth and provide remediation advice tailored to your home's specific needs.

In the meantime, you might want to take some preliminary steps:
1. Increase ventilation in affected areas by opening windows if safe to do so.
2. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to help reduce airborne allergens.
3. Keep humidity levels low; consider a dehumidifier for damp areas.
4. Regularly clean and dry any surfaces that might harbor mold.

Remember, preventing or addressing indoor mold issues is crucial not only for health but also to comply with local building codes in the UAE. If you do find active mold growth, it's important to act quickly and properly to avoid long-term health effects and structural damage.
