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 mustiness and coughing be linked?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment two months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the bedroom closet, especially after it gets humid outside. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something in the air quality or cleaning products that could be causing this. Could the mustiness and their symptoms be related? What should I do to check for any potential health hazards?

Yes, mustiness and coughing can indeed be linked. In your case, the musty smell and your kids' frequent coughs could point to an indoor air quality issue that needs addressing. This is especially true considering you've noticed these symptoms since moving into a new apartment.

In Dubai and across UAE, it's not uncommon for buildings to have issues with moisture leading to mold growth, which can produce a musty smell and pose health risks. Mold spores can irritate the respiratory system, particularly in children who are more susceptible due to their developing immune systems. This irritation might explain why your kids are coughing more frequently.

To tackle this situation, you should first try some basic troubleshooting steps before considering professional help. Start by checking for any visible signs of moisture or water damage around the closet and throughout your apartment. Look out for dampness on walls, ceilings, or floors, especially near windows or in areas that might be prone to condensation.

If you find any sign of moisture, it's important to address this right away. Use a dehumidifier if humidity levels are high, and ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible. Regular cleaning with mold-resistant products can also help prevent future issues.

However, given the persistence of your symptoms and concerns about air quality in your new home, I recommend you contact a professional for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that can pinpoint any potential hazards. You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a consultation.

Remember, addressing these issues early not only improves your family's health but also prevents more serious problems from developing over time.
