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 leaks cause my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming on the wall near the children's room window. The AC in my apartment seems to be leaking occasionally too, as there’s always water accumulating in the pan below. Recently, both my kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses, which has me worried about mold or mildew growing unnoticed. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Could Mold from Leaks Cause My Kids' Symptoms?

Yes, mold and mildew growth could very well be the cause of your children's symptoms. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, moisture issues like those you've described are quite common due to our climate and humid conditions. When a damp spot forms on walls or when air conditioning units leak, it creates ideal conditions for mold to grow.

Mold spores can travel through the air and are often invisible to the naked eye. They can cause allergic reactions in children and adults alike, resulting in symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny noses, and even respiratory issues. Given that your kids have been experiencing these symptoms recently, it's quite possible that mold growth is a factor.

To ensure the health of you and your family, I strongly recommend having a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can perform thorough inspections to identify any hidden mold or mildew growth. Their expertise will help in assessing the situation accurately and recommending appropriate remediation steps.

If you suspect mold but are unable to see it, keep an eye out for other signs such as musty odors, discolored walls or ceilings, and peeling paint. These can all be indicators of hidden mold growth.

In the meantime, try to address any moisture issues promptly by drying out affected areas with fans and dehumidifiers. Ensure proper ventilation in your home, especially near bathrooms and windows. Regularly check for leaks in AC units and fix them immediately to prevent further water damage.

Remember, early detection and action can help mitigate potential health risks associated with mold exposure. If you decide to get an inspection or have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a professional assessment or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Stay proactive about your home's health!
