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 from ducts cause my asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in our bedroom. The air feels stale, and my asthma seems to be flaring up more than usual. Given that we live on the second floor with a duct running right above our bed, I’m starting to wonder if there might be some mold or other issues with the ventilation. Could this be causing my health problems?

Yeah, mold from ducts can sure cause asthma. In the UAE, especially in Dubai where we experience high humidity and occasional heavy rains like last month, it's quite common for moisture to build up, particularly in areas like ductwork on higher floors. This setup can create perfect conditions for mold growth.

Given your symptoms of a persistent musty smell and worsening asthma, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. The UAE has strict building regulations when it comes to indoor air quality (IAQ) but you still need to ensure that the environment in your home is safe.

Mold spores can travel through ducts and affect all areas of a building, even if they're not directly visible. In Dubai, we see cases where mold in one area of the house can spread throughout due to poor ventilation systems.

I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection. They'll check your ductwork, bedroom area, and other parts of the home that may be affected. A professional will also advise on how to clean up any mold growth safely and prevent future issues.

In the meantime, try to keep the humidity levels in your room low by using dehumidifiers or air conditioners set at a lower setting than usual to help reduce moisture. Also, ensure that there's proper airflow in your bedroom; sometimes opening windows (if safe due to the climate) can help too.

Stay vigilant and don't hesitate to seek professional advice if you notice any changes in how you feel after heavy rains or if you suspect mold growth. Your health is paramount and getting it checked out early could save you a lot of trouble down the line.
