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 in my storage room affect my health?« Back to Previous Page

The other day, while cleaning out my storage room in the apartment, I noticed a lot of mold starting to form on some old boxes. This room doesn't get much airflow, and I can’t shake off this weird cough I've developed over the past couple of weeks. I've also been feeling a bit lightheaded when I'm in there, which freaks me out. Could the mold in my storage room be causing these health issues? What should I do about it?

Yes, mold in your storage room can definitely affect your health, particularly if you are experiencing symptoms such as coughing, lightheadedness, or other respiratory issues. Mold spores can become airborne and, when inhaled, can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory problems. In your case, the lack of airflow in the storage room is a significant factor that can contribute to mold growth, creating an unhealthy environment.

In the UAE, mold growth can be exacerbated by the high humidity levels during the summer months, especially in poorly ventilated areas. The UAE’s regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining indoor air quality, and as a resident, you have the right to live in a space that is free from unhealthy substances, including mold.

Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

1. Immediate Action: Avoid spending extended periods in the storage room until the mold issue is resolved. This will help alleviate your symptoms and prevent further exposure.

2. Ventilation: Increase airflow in the room by opening doors and windows if possible. Consider using fans to help circulate air, but be cautious not to disturb any existing mold, which can release spores into the air.

3. Cleaning: For minor mold issues, you can clean affected surfaces using a mixture of water and vinegar or a commercial mold cleaner. Be sure to wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, to avoid inhaling spores during the cleaning process.

4. Professional Inspection: If the mold covers a large area (greater than 1 square meter) or if you have underlying health issues, it’s highly recommended that you seek professional help. A qualified mold inspection company can assess the situation and provide effective remediation.

5. Humidity Control: Invest in a dehumidifier to help maintain an optimal humidity level in your storage room, ideally between 30-50%. This will help prevent mold from returning in the future.

If you've been experiencing persistent symptoms, I urge you to consult a healthcare professional.
