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 causing my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent storm, I noticed a strange dampness in the lower level of my home where we store our cleaning supplies. It smells musty and there seems to be some mold growing on an old shelf. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m starting to wonder if it’s related. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could mold be causing my kids' coughs?

Hello there! It's concerning to hear that your children are experiencing more frequent coughing after noticing dampness and mold growth. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience changes in humidity due to weather conditions like storms which can lead to such issues.

Mold spores can indeed be a major cause of respiratory problems, including coughs. They release allergens that can irritate the airways, leading to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and even more severe reactions for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Given your situation, it's important to address this as soon as possible.

Firstly, I recommend that you take action without delay. Contact a professional environmental inspection service such as Saniservice by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an assessment of your home’s indoor air quality. They will be able to identify the extent of mold growth and provide guidance on appropriate remediation steps.

In the meantime, here are a few immediate steps you can take:

1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows if possible, especially after storms, to allow fresh air in and reduce moisture levels.
2. Dry out damp areas quickly: Use dehumidifiers or fans to dry any wet surfaces as soon as they become moist.
3. Remove mold growth: If the area is small enough, you can clean it with a mixture of water and detergent. Be sure to wear gloves and a mask when handling mold to protect yourself from spores.

If the problem persists after cleaning or if you find larger areas of mold, definitely seek professional help as suggested earlier. Saniservice can provide safe and effective remediation services tailored for Dubai’s climate.

Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is key not only in preventing respiratory issues but also ensuring a healthy living environment. If your kids’ symptoms continue despite these measures or if you notice any signs of worsening health, please consult with a healthcare professional as well.

Taking prompt action can prevent further mold growth and alleviate the potential health risks for everyone in your home.
