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 rains cause my kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the kitchen, especially when we open the windows. It’s particularly noticeable near the cabinets where the cleaning supplies are stored. My kids have been coughing more frequently, and although they don’t seem to have a fever or other obvious signs of illness, it worries me that there might be mold growing from the moisture seeping in through the cracks. Could this smell and their recent coughs be related to the cleaning products or mold growth?

Absolutely could be! The musty smell and your kids' coughs might indeed be linked to mold growth from the recent heavy rains. In dubai, we've seen a lot of moisture seeping into buildings through cracks, especially during our frequent weather changes. Mold spores can thrive in damp environments like kitchens and bathrooms and produce allergens that may trigger respiratory issues such as coughing.

The UAE has specific regulations on indoor air quality, particularly with regards to mold. According to the environmental health standards set by the Dubai Health Authority, it's important to address any moisture issues promptly to prevent mold growth which can be harmful to your family’s health.

If you've noticed a persistent musty smell near cabinets storing cleaning supplies and your kids are coughing more frequently, it would be wise to have an inspection done. Mold can grow in unseen areas and might not just affect the kitchen but other parts of your home too. The earlier you address potential mold issues, the better for your family’s health.

I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection. They'll be able to identify if there's active mold growth and provide necessary remediation services to ensure your home is safe once more. Cleaning supplies in damp areas can also contribute to the problem, so consider storing them somewhere dry.

Taking action now could prevent further health issues for you and your family.
