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 heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. It's been there for about two weeks now, despite me airing out the space regularly. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits especially in the evenings, and it’s really concerning me that this might be linked to the smell. Could this be due to mold growth or something else?

Yes, the musty smell and your kids' coughs could definitely be linked to mold growth. Mold thrives in damp environments, and with the heavy rains we had recently, it's possible that moisture has accumulated in your closet, leading to a potential mold infestation.

In Dubai, as in other parts of the UAE, there are no specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, but the health and safety of residents are paramount. According to building codes and guidelines, keeping your living space free from dampness is crucial to prevent not only molds but also bacteria and other pathogens that can cause respiratory issues.

The musty smell you're experiencing is a tell-tale sign of mold growth. Mold spores release allergens into the air which can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms, especially in children. The coughing fits your kids have been experiencing could be due to their immune systems reacting to these allergens.

To ensure proper indoor environmental quality and protect your family’s health, I highly recommend you call for a professional inspection as soon as possible. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide expert mold testing and remediation services. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an appointment.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:
1. Ensure good ventilation in your closet by opening windows if possible.
2. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels and prevent mold growth.
3. Keep the area clean and dry; avoid using carpets or fabrics that can trap moisture.
4. Inspect other areas of your home for similar signs of dampness, as molds often spread.

Remember, early detection is key in preventing further health issues. Don't wait until it gets worse before taking action. Your family’s health should always be a priority, and a professional inspection will provide you with the peace of mind you need during this time.
