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 cause my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Since the heavy rains last month, I’ve noticed a damp smell lingering in the corner of our living room, especially when we turn on the air conditioner. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and coughing more frequently lately, which has me worried about mold or other indoor pollutants. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could mold cause my kids' symptoms?

Definitely! Mold can indeed contribute to respiratory issues and other health concerns for children. In the UAE, especially during heavy rain periods like you've experienced recently, dampness can lead to mold growth, which could be a major factor in your situation.

In Dubai, humidity levels may rise due to increased rainfall or air conditioning use, creating an environment where mold thrives. The lingering damp smell and symptoms such as stuffy noses and coughing are red flags that you should look into. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system, leading to nasal congestion, coughs, and exacerbating conditions like asthma.

According to UAE regulations, it's important to maintain indoor air quality in accordance with local building codes and standards. The UAE Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) advises regular inspections of buildings for moisture-related issues that could lead to mold growth. Given the current climate conditions, a professional inspection is highly recommended. A certified environmental inspector can help identify any mold present and provide remediation advice.

If you're concerned about your kids' symptoms or suspect mold in your home, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. Early detection and treatment can prevent further health issues and ensure a healthier living environment.

Remember, keeping an eye on indoor humidity levels with dehumidifiers and proper ventilation is key to preventing mold growth in Dubai's climate. Regularly cleaning areas prone to moisture like bathrooms and basements can also help mitigate the risk of mold development.
