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 rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my bedroom, even after airing it out. It’s especially noticeable right after they’ve mopped the floor. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m starting to wonder if there might be some mold growing behind the wall. Could this be affecting their health?

Yes, mold could very well be causing your kids' coughs. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience sudden weather changes due to our climate. After a heavy rain like you mentioned, it's quite common for moisture to build up and lead to mold growth, especially behind walls where airflow is minimal.

Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system of children who are more susceptible to allergens and pollutants in the air. This could very well be what your kids have been coughing from after mopping the floor; moisture release during cleaning can activate dormant mold spores or introduce new ones into your home.

In the UAE, as per local regulations, it is advisable to keep an eye out for potential indoor air quality issues, especially when weather changes are frequent. The Abu Dhabi Environment Agency and Dubai Municipality have guidelines on maintaining healthy indoor environments, which include regular checks for moisture and mold.

Given the symptoms you've described, I strongly recommend a professional inspection by Saniservice. They can help identify if there is indeed mold growth behind your walls or elsewhere in your home. Their expertise will ensure that any issues are addressed before they worsen.

To take proactive steps until then, make sure to improve ventilation in your bedroom and other affected areas. Using dehumidifiers can also be beneficial as it reduces moisture levels. Keep an eye on the humidity level; it should ideally stay below 60% for mold growth prevention.

Remember, early detection is key! If you notice any unusual dampness or musty odors, don't delay in getting a professional inspection. Contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance and to schedule an appointment.

Stay vigilant about your indoor air quality, especially during such weather changes, to ensure the health of you and your family.
