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 make my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement where we store toys and clothes. The AC in our apartment seemed to be working overtime to keep up with all that moisture. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, which has me really worried about mold. Could this be why they’re feeling so unwell?

Could Mold From Rains Make My Kids Sick?

Yes, absolutely! The heavy rains we've had recently can indeed contribute to the growth of mold and could be a factor behind your kids' recent coughing and other symptoms. Moisture is one of the main causes for mold development, especially in areas like basements which are often poorly ventilated.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, post-rain conditions can create perfect environments for mold spores to flourish. The basement where you store toys and clothes might be a potential breeding ground. If moisture levels remain high, it could lead to increased mold growth, not only affecting air quality but also posing health risks to your family.

Mold exposure has been linked to respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and even more severe problems like asthma attacks in children. Given the recent rains and damp conditions, it's essential to take action sooner rather than later.

I strongly recommend you contact a professional for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice specialize in mold inspections, testing, and remediation. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment.

In the meantime, you could start by checking for visible signs of moisture or mold growth around the basement area. Ensure good ventilation and use dehumidifiers if necessary to help reduce humidity levels. Keep the toys and clothes as dry as possible.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing health issues related to mold exposure. Don’t wait; act now to ensure a healthier environment for your family.
