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 our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the basement where we store some old furniture. My wife and I have both been experiencing headaches and my kids have had stuffy noses and coughs ever since they started playing down there more often. Could this be due to mold? What should we do next?

Could mold be causing our health issues? It’s very possible. Mold can indeed affect your family's health, especially if it's growing in areas like the basement where you've noticed a musty smell and increased humidity from recent rainfalls.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience humid weather which creates perfect conditions for mold to thrive. If there is any moisture or water damage in your basement, it could be fostering the growth of harmful molds such as Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold) which can release toxic substances known as mycotoxins that may trigger respiratory issues and headaches.

To address this concern properly, I would recommend a thorough inspection by a professional. Here in Dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and the presence of mold. The Environmental Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (EHA) oversees such matters, ensuring buildings are safe from harmful contaminants including mold.

Given your symptoms—headaches for you and stuffy noses and coughs for your children—it would be prudent to seek help quickly. I urge you to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate inspection. These professionals can identify the type of mold, assess its potential health impacts, and provide remediation services if necessary.

In the meantime, avoid going into the basement until you get a professional assessment. If you must go down there, wear protective clothing such as gloves and masks designed to filter out spores.

Remember, early detection and prompt action are key in preventing mold from worsening your family's health issues and causing further damage to your property.

Stay proactive about this matter; it’s better to be safe than sorry when dealing with indoor air quality issues like mold.
