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 indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in our bedroom. It’s not as strong as before, but it’s still there, and my partner has been complaining of a persistent cough and feeling dizzy whenever they stay in that room for more than an hour. The AC seems to make it worse, sucking in the air from the bedroom directly. Could this be due to mold or something else? What should we do to improve the indoor air quality?

Mold sure could be the culprit behind your indoor air quality issues. After the rain last month, it's quite possible that moisture has settled into hidden corners of your bedroom, creating an environment for mold to grow. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we see a variety of molds thriving during the rainy season and even year-round due to our warm climate.

Firstly, let me explain why this situation could be serious. Mold can release spores and other allergens into the air, which can irritate your partner's respiratory system leading to coughs and dizziness. The AC you mentioned could indeed worsen the situation by drawing in moist air from the bedroom directly, thus spreading mold spores throughout the space.

Now, what should you do? Firstly, it is vital to inspect the area for visible signs of mold such as discoloration or mustiness. However, since your partner's symptoms persist, a professional inspection would be highly recommended. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, regulations require buildings to maintain good indoor air quality which can be compromised by hidden molds.

To get started, I'd suggest contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or via email at hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment. They will use specialized equipment like thermography cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden mold growth that the naked eye might miss. If they find any issues, they'll provide a remediation plan tailored to your home.

In addition to professional help, you can take some immediate steps to mitigate the situation:
1. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits.
2. Use dehumidifiers or air purifiers specifically designed for mold to reduce moisture levels and filter out spores.
3. Clean surfaces with a mixture of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) to kill existing mold, but always wear protective gear like gloves and masks.

Remember, addressing indoor air quality issues swiftly is crucial for your health and comfort in the long run. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance if you suspect any mold growth or if symptoms persist after initial measures.
