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 these symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I've noticed a persistent musty smell coming from our closet. My kids have also been complaining of chest congestion and sneezing, especially in that corner where they play with their toys. Could this be related to mold or some kind of indoor air pollution?

Yeah, def could be. Mold's known to cause respiratory issues and other symptoms like the ones yer kiddos are havin'. In the UAE, we've seen a few cases where old moldy closets led to similar complaints.

First thing is, don't just assume it's mold though. Dust storms can stir up all sorts of stuff that might be causing the smell and irritations. But if it smells musty or damp, and especially if it's been humid lately, mold could very well be the culprit.

In Dubai, we've got some local regulations around indoor air quality, but they're more general guidelines than strict standards like in some places. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) does keep an eye on these things, so it’s wise to check with them or a pro if you're concerned.

If the situation seems serious or is causing noticeable health issues, then I'd really recommend callin' in an expert. Saniservice can do a thorough inspection for ya. They got folks who know what they’re doin’ and can help identify the exact cause of your problem.

In the meantime, try to keep the closet door closed if possible, and maybe use a dehumidifier or open a window if it's not too windy. Make sure you're using air purifiers and good quality filters in your home as well. This might help reduce some of the irritants.

And don't forget to remind kids about handwashing and not touching their faces—especially when they’re playing with toys. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a doc for advice too.

So yeah, it could be mold, but it’s best to get a pro in there to have a look. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need some help.
