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' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the basement storage area. It's particularly bad in the corner where we keep all the boxes. The smell is pretty strong, and it seems like there might be some visible patches of mold forming on the walls. My kids have been complaining of coughing and stuffiness since we started using that part of the house more often. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Yes, it sounds like the mold growth in your basement could very well be contributing to your kids' symptoms. Mold can indeed produce allergens and irritants that may lead to respiratory issues such as coughing and stuffiness, especially for children who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems.

In Dubai/UAE, particularly following heavy rains or flooding, it's not uncommon to see mold growth in basements and other low-lying areas. The UAE has its own set of regulations regarding indoor air quality, which are outlined in the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) guidelines for commercial and residential buildings. While these aren't specifically targeted towards mold control, they do emphasize the importance of maintaining a clean environment to prevent health risks.

Given the situation you've described, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. These professionals can assess the extent of the mold growth and determine if remediation is necessary. They'll also provide guidance on how to clean up the area properly, as improper handling of mold can spread spores throughout your home.

In the meantime, you should ensure that the area remains well-ventilated and consider removing any items from the storage corner until the situation improves. Keeping moisture levels down by using dehumidifiers or fans might also help prevent further growth.

Remember, addressing this issue early on will not only improve indoor air quality but could also avoid potential long-term health concerns for your family.
