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 musty smell be harming my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, even after airing it out several times. My kids have been complaining of sneezing and coughing more frequently since then, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s related to the indoor air quality here. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Hello there! It's concerning to hear about the musty smell and the increase in your kids' symptoms. The smell you're describing sounds like it could be due to mold growth which is a common issue after rain, especially here in Dubai where we experience these weather changes.

Mold can indeed impact indoor air quality (IAQ) and lead to respiratory issues, particularly in children who may have more sensitive immune systems. According to the UAE's Ministry of Community Development's regulations, buildings must maintain a safe environment for occupants, which includes managing mold growth. If not addressed properly, it could exacerbate your kids' symptoms like sneezing and coughing.

Given the situation, I'd recommend having an indoor air quality inspection done by a professional. The team at Saniservice can help assess if there's active mold growth in your home and provide necessary remediation services. Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment.

In the meantime, try to keep humidity levels low by using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation in your bedroom. Regularly clean areas where mold can grow such as behind wallpaper, on ceiling tiles, and around pipes. Also, encourage your family members to avoid touching or disturbing any suspicious spots until a professional has evaluated them.

Remember, maintaining good IAQ is crucial for the health of all occupants, especially kids. Don't wait; take action today!
