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 old carpet cause my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom, even after airing it out. The carpet in there is quite old and seems to be collecting dust and mold despite regular vacuuming. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it might be related to this stuff building up. Could this be causing their symptoms?

Yeah, it's possible that old carpet can contribute to your kids' coughing issues. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels during rainy seasons can increase significantly, which might create an environment for mold growth even in supposedly well-maintained carpets. Old carpets may harbor dust mites, fungi, or bacteria, all of which could irritate your children's respiratory systems.

In our region, we often see cases where carpets are a significant source of allergens and indoor air pollutants. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations on carpeting in homes but it is crucial to maintain good indoor air quality for health reasons. Regular vacuuming can help but deep cleaning or even replacing the carpet might be necessary.

If you suspect mold growth, it's important to call a professional for an inspection. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments and remediation services that are tailored for our region’s climate conditions. We use advanced techniques and equipment to identify and address any hidden sources of contamination.

For now, you can try these steps:
• Increase air circulation by opening windows when the weather permits.
• Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture in your home.
• Consider investing in an air purifier that can filter out allergens from the air.
• Deep clean or replace old carpets as they might be beyond cleaning.

Remember, if you notice persistent symptoms like frequent coughing, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider. For any concerns regarding indoor environmental quality, please don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and support.

It's not uncommon for folks in Dubai to face these issues during the rainy seasons, but with proper care and attention, you can mitigate them effectively.
