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 making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the corner of my bedroom. The area gets plenty of sunlight during the day but stays quite humid at night, even with the AC running. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses every morning, which makes me worry about mold or other allergens. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could mold be making my kids sick?

Absolutely, the musty smell and humid conditions in your bedroom could indeed be linked to mold growth. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, where we experience varying levels of humidity throughout the year, it's not uncommon for moisture issues to arise after a spell of rain or during transitions between seasons.

Mold thrives in damp environments, and given that the area gets plenty of sunlight but stays humid at night even with the AC running, this might provide an ideal condition for mold spores to proliferate. Mold can produce allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances known as mycotoxins which can trigger or worsen respiratory issues like coughs and runny noses in children.

In Dubai, as per UAE regulations, it is recommended that any indoor air quality concerns are addressed promptly for the health of your family. The Health Authority - Dubai (HAD) advises regular inspections to ensure the environment inside buildings remains safe and healthy. If you suspect mold growth or have noticed symptoms like those described by your kids, I would strongly recommend a professional inspection.

You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for an assessment or email hello@saniservice.com to book one. Early detection and remediation of mold issues are key in maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring the health and well-being of your family, especially during a changing climate like what we experience here.

Remember, addressing such issues not only improves comfort but can also prevent long-term health problems associated with indoor pollutants.
