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 cause my son's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp mustiness in my bedroom that wouldn’t go away, even after airing out everything. My son has been complaining of a persistent cough, especially at night, and it’s really worrying me because we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue. Could these symptoms be related to mold or other allergens from the rain?

Absolutely, the symptoms your son is experiencing could be linked to mold growth due to last month's rain. In Dubai and other parts of UAE, we often see sudden changes in weather leading to dampness which can breed mold indoors. Mold spores are known triggers for asthma attacks and respiratory issues, especially among children.

Firstly, it’s crucial to address the musty odor you’ve noticed. This is a strong indicator that moisture might be present, creating an ideal environment for mold growth. The UAE has specific regulations around indoor environmental quality, particularly regarding mold (UAE Federal Law No. 12 of 2006 on Public Health). These laws require property owners to ensure their premises are free from harmful substances which can affect health.

To properly assess the situation, I would recommend calling in a professional inspection team. They have the expertise and equipment needed to identify mold species and extent, ensuring no hidden dangers are left unchecked. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspections tailored for UAE conditions, including detailed reports with recommendations on remediation steps.

In the meantime, avoid using dehumidifiers or air conditioners that could potentially spread spores through your home. Instead, open windows if possible to allow natural ventilation. Be sure to clean all areas thoroughly, paying extra attention to corners and damp spots where mold can flourish. Use a mixture of water and bleach for tough stains, but ensure good ventilation when doing so.

Remember, the key is prompt action. Don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection today. Your son's health matters, and addressing this issue early can prevent further complications.
