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 or dust mites cause our coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird musty smell lingering in the corners of our bedroom. The AC unit seemed to be running more than usual too, but I didn’t think much of it until my kids started coughing up a storm every night. Could this be due to mold or dust mites? What should we do first to address this issue and make sure our home is safe for us all?

Yes, mold and dust mites can very well be the culprits behind your children's coughing. In dubai, it is quite common to experience such issues after heavy rains as they often lead to an increase in humidity levels which favor mold growth and provide a breeding ground for dust mites.

Mold spores are tiny and light enough that they can easily float through the air, making their way into your home's ventilation system or settling on surfaces. When inhaled, these spores can trigger allergic reactions, leading to coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory issues. Dust mites, on the other hand, thrive in warm and humid environments such as bedding, carpets, and furniture. Their droppings can also cause allergies and asthma symptoms.

Given that you've noticed a musty smell lingering in your bedroom after the rain, it's highly possible that mold is present. The fact that your AC unit seems to be running more than usual could indicate an accumulation of moisture which creates ideal conditions for both mold growth and dust mites.

To address this issue effectively, here are some steps you should take:

Firstly, conduct a thorough inspection of your home focusing on areas where mold commonly grows such as bathrooms, corners near windows, and behind furniture. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean these areas gently. Be cautious though; if the mold is extensive or hard to remove, it would be wise to call in professionals who are licensed for mold remediation.

Secondly, increase ventilation by opening windows whenever possible, especially after rainy days. Using dehumidifiers can also help reduce humidity levels and prevent further mold growth. Ensure your AC filters are clean as this will improve air quality and decrease dust mite populations.

Thirdly, regularly wash bedding and other fabric items in hot water to kill dust mites. Dusting surfaces frequently with a damp cloth can remove allergens effectively too.

Lastly, if the issue persists or worsens, it’s recommended you contact professionals for a comprehensive inspection and remediation. In dubai, companies like saniservice offer reliable services for such issues.

Remember, your family's health is paramount. Taking proactive steps now will ensure a healthier living environment for all of you. So, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance.

Stay safe and healthy!
