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 harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment three months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent smell of mold in the bedroom where my kids sleep. The window is sealed tightly to keep out the heat, but I can see some condensation forming on the walls every morning. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m worried it might be related to the air quality. Could there be something wrong with our indoor air?

Could Mold Be Harming My Kids?

It sounds like your concern is valid. The persistent smell of mold and the condensation on the walls are clear signs that there might be an indoor air quality issue. In Dubai, humidity levels can soar during certain months, making conditions ripe for mold growth. Mold spores can release allergens and toxins that may irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing and other symptoms in your kids.

The UAE, including Dubai, has guidelines on building codes and environmental standards but it's important to ensure your apartment is up to these benchmarks. Tight windows might stop heat but they don't necessarily prevent moisture from accumulating which can lead to mold growth.

Given the situation with condensation forming on walls each morning, there could be an underlying issue that needs addressing. It’s crucial not to delay in getting a professional inspection as soon as possible. Saniservice provides such services and their contact number is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

While waiting for the inspection, try to improve indoor air quality by using dehumidifiers or fans that help remove excess moisture from the air. Ensure your bedroom has proper ventilation, even if it means opening windows during cooler times of day when mold growth is less likely.

Remember, early intervention can prevent the spread and potential health effects of mold. If you suspect a serious case, don't hesitate to call in experts for a thorough evaluation.
