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 our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the laundry room of our shared apartment. My roommate and I both started experiencing sneezing and a runny nose since then. We’ve lived here for two years, but this is the first time we’re noticing these symptoms. Has anyone else experienced similar issues, or do you have any suggestions on how to address this?

Mold indeed can cause symptoms like sneezing and runny nose. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, where we experience high humidity during certain times of the year, mold growth is a common issue that can lead to respiratory issues for those sensitive.

Given your laundry room's current conditions post-rain, it’s highly probable that moisture has led to mold growth which could be triggering these symptoms. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, but local building codes do emphasize the importance of proper ventilation and drainage systems to prevent such scenarios.

It would be wise for you both to inspect your laundry room closely for any visible signs of mold like black or green patches on walls, floors, or other surfaces. Also, check if there's any water damage or excessive moisture which could indicate a need for repairs.

If the smell persists or if symptoms worsen, it’s recommended to seek professional assistance from companies licensed in the UAE such as Saniservice. They can conduct a thorough inspection and provide remediation services if necessary. You may want to contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for further guidance.

In the meantime, try to improve air circulation in your laundry room by ensuring that ventilation fans are working properly and opening windows when possible to allow fresh air in. Keeping moisture levels down will help prevent mold from spreading further.

Remember, early detection and prompt action can save you a lot of discomfort and potential damage to your property. Stay proactive and take care!
