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 strange damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The humidity felt unusually high, even with the dehumidifier running all day. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits at night, and I’m starting to worry about mold or other issues. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could mold be causing your kids' coughs? Yes, it is very possible. Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues like coughing, especially for children whose immune systems are still developing. In Dubai, the high humidity post-rain or from air conditioning can provide a perfect environment for molds to grow.

In the UAE, indoor air quality (IAQ) standards aren't as strict as in some other regions but maintaining good IAQ is crucial. The heavy rains that just passed might have created ideal conditions for mold growth, especially if water has entered your home and hasn’t been adequately dried or removed. Even with a dehumidifier running, the moisture content may still be too high.

Given that you've noticed a damp smell in your bedroom closet and the humidity feels unusually high despite the dehumidifier's efforts, it’s important to address this issue promptly. Persistent exposure to mold can lead to various health issues including allergic reactions, coughing, wheezing, and exacerbating existing respiratory conditions like asthma.

For peace of mind and proper assessment, I recommend having a professional inspection by contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can conduct thorough testing to identify if mold is present and advise on remediation steps. Early detection and removal are key in mitigating health risks.

Meanwhile, you can take some immediate actions:
• Check for visible signs of water damage or mold growth
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible
• Use fans or dehumidifiers to reduce humidity levels
• Keep indoor plants away from windows and damp areas

Remember, maintaining good IAQ is crucial in preventing health issues. Stay proactive and don’t hesitate to seek professional help if you’re concerned about the air quality in your home.
