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 mold be affecting my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet, even after airing it out multiple times. The humidity seems to be worse in that part of the house since we moved in about two years ago. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s related to the air quality. Could mold or dust mites be causing these symptoms?

Could mold be affecting my kids' coughs?

It's quite possible that mold could be contributing to the increased coughing of your children. In Dubai and the UAE, we experience a climate that can promote high humidity levels, especially after rain or during certain seasons. This environment is particularly favorable for mold growth. Mold spores are lightweight and can easily spread through air ducts or even just floating in the air within your home.

Given what you've observed—namely the musty smell in your bedroom closet and the worsening humidity—it's crucial to check if there could be a mold issue. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations on indoor air quality like some other countries, but maintaining good indoor hygiene is vital for your family’s health.

Mold can indeed trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and coughing in susceptible individuals such as children. Dust mites are another common allergen in high-humidity areas which could also be a factor here.

I would strongly recommend having an inspection by professionals who understand the local climate conditions and building practices of Dubai. Saniservice is one company I trust for such inspections; they can help identify if there's mold present and advise on remediation steps. Their contact info is 800-MOLDS or you could email hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, try to improve air circulation in your home by opening windows when weather permits. Use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels, especially in areas prone to dampness like closets and bathrooms. Regularly clean and maintain your HVAC system as well.

If symptoms persist or worsen after addressing potential mold issues, consulting with a healthcare provider may be necessary for further guidance on managing allergies and respiratory conditions.
