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 our kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in the basement of our new apartment. When I went down to check, there was standing water near the corner by the wall, and it looked like mold had started to grow on the concrete. The kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be causing health issues for us?

Absolutely could be! Mold growth in your apartment’s basement can indeed pose serious health risks, especially for children. The musty smell and visible mold on the concrete are clear indicators that something needs attention right away. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can increase due to recent weather conditions like heavy rains, making it a perfect breeding ground for molds.

Molds release spores into the air which can cause various health issues, especially among children who have weaker immune systems. Symptoms such as coughing fits, runny nose, and eye irritation are common reactions from mold exposure. In more severe cases, it has been linked to respiratory infections, asthma attacks, and even allergic reactions.

In accordance with local regulations in the UAE, it is highly recommended that you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can assess the extent of the mold growth and provide remediation services if necessary. It’s crucial to act quickly before any potential health impacts worsen.

Additionally, ensure good ventilation in your apartment by opening windows during dry periods, and use dehumidifiers or air purifiers to help control moisture levels. Regular cleaning with a mixture of water and bleach can also be effective in reducing mold growth.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is paramount for the well-being of everyone living in the home. Do not delay seeking professional advice; your family’s health should always be a top priority!
