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' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the bedroom closet, especially when opening the door. My kids have been experiencing persistent coughs and runny noses since then, which has really got me worried about indoor air quality. Could this be related to mold growth from the water damage? What steps should I take to clean it properly and ensure their health isn't compromised?

Yes, it is very possible that mold from last month's rain could be affecting your kids' health. Mold spores can trigger respiratory issues, especially in children who are more susceptible to allergies and infections. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where humidity levels can reach uncomfortable highs during certain months, damp conditions following heavy rainfall create a perfect environment for mold growth.

Given the musty smell you've noticed and your kids' symptoms, it's crucial to act quickly to address this issue. First steps should include:

1. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in all affected areas of your home. In Dubai, where air conditioning is widely used, try running exhaust fans or opening windows (when weather permits) for at least 30 minutes daily.

2. Inspect the Closet: Take a closer look at the closet area where you've noticed the musty smell. Check for any visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, or floors. Look out for water stains or signs of dampness.

3. Clean Up: If you find evidence of mold but it's contained and not spreading widely, you can attempt to clean up yourself. Use a solution of one cup bleach per gallon of water (or a commercial mold cleaner) to scrub the affected areas. Ensure you wear protective clothing, gloves, and masks during this process.

4. Address Moisture Source: Find out what caused the moisture in the first place. Was it just from rain or is there an ongoing issue like leaking pipes? Addressing the source of moisture is key to preventing future mold growth.

5. Professional Inspection: For serious cases where you're unsure about the extent of mold, or if your efforts aren't yielding results, a professional inspection would be recommended. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice offer these services and can provide detailed reports and remediation plans.

Remember, in the UAE, regulations around indoor air quality are strictly followed, so ensuring your home is free from harmful contaminants like mold is paramount to safeguarding the health of your family. If you're uncertain or if symptoms persist despite your efforts, don't hesitate to contact a professional service provider. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and assistance.

Taking these steps will not only help manage the current situation but also prevent future issues in your home. Stay proactive, and keep your family's health at the forefront!
