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 us sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. The walls seem a bit damp, and when I checked closer, there's some greenish-black mold growing on the back wall near where the pipes run. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, and now that I think about it, my throat has felt scratchy too. Could this be related to the mold? What steps should I take to address it safely?

Mold can indeed be making you and your family sick. The symptoms you're experiencing – like coughing fits and scratchy throats – could definitely be connected to the mold you've noticed growing on the back wall of your bedroom closet.

In the UAE, especially in areas with higher humidity or after heavy rainfalls, such as last month's incident, it's not uncommon for moisture-related issues like mold growth to occur. Mold releases spores into the air which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems, particularly in children.

Given the situation, it would be wise to take action promptly:

1. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in the affected area. Open windows if possible or use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
2. Cleaning: Clean the mold using a solution of water and detergent. For tough patches, you might need a mixture of water, detergent, and bleach (though this is not recommended for porous surfaces).
3. Seal off the area: Use plastic sheeting to cover furniture and other items in the affected area to prevent spreading.
4. Disinfect: After cleaning, disinfect the area with a solution suitable for mold removal.

However, given the severity of your situation, I strongly recommend contacting professionals like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537) who can conduct a thorough inspection and provide remediation services if necessary. They will assess the extent of the mold growth and offer appropriate solutions to ensure safety.

Remember, in Dubai, regulations require that any significant mold problem be addressed by certified professionals to ensure compliance with building codes and health standards. Ignoring the issue could lead to further damage or worse, ongoing health issues for your family.

Acting quickly is key – don't wait until the mold spreads. Your health should always come first!
