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 last month's rain affect my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet, even after airing it out several times. My kids have been complaining of sneezing and coughing lately, which made me wonder if there might be some mold or mildew growing due to the dampness. Could this be causing their symptoms, and what should I do to clean it up properly?

Could Mold from Last Month's Rain Affect My Kids?

Absolutely. The musty smell and symptoms your kids are experiencing can be linked to mold growth in the closet due to dampness caused by recent rain. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen an increase in moisture issues following heavy rainfall events like you experienced.

Infection from mold isn't just a concern for health - it's something that needs immediate attention. Mold can release spores into the air which might cause respiratory irritation and allergic reactions, especially in children. Sneezing and coughing are common symptoms reported by people exposed to moldy environments.

For your situation, it would be wise to conduct a thorough inspection of the closet and surrounding areas. The UAE, including Dubai, has regulations around indoor environmental quality that require professional assessments if contamination is suspected. You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional evaluation.

If you decide to handle it yourself initially, wear protective gear like gloves and masks before cleaning the closet. Use a solution of one cup of bleach per gallon of water to tackle mold growth. Apply this mixture with a spray bottle or a mop, focusing on thoroughly wetting the affected areas. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes then wipe dry.

Ventilating the space by opening windows and using a dehumidifier can also help reduce moisture levels, which is key in preventing mold from returning. However, if you find extensive or persistent mold growth, professional remediation services are recommended.

Remember, your health and safety should be top priority. If symptoms persist after cleaning or if you're unsure about the situation, don't hesitate to consult with a healthcare provider and seek further guidance on environmental health issues.

Call 800-MOLDS today for expert help or email hello@saniservice.com if you need professional advice.
