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 rain cause mold and kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the bedroom closet, which was particularly strong after we opened all the windows. It’s weird because my neighbors didn’t mention any issues like this. The kids have been coughing more than usual lately too, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s from the indoor air quality. Could there be mold growing in that closet due to the rain?

Yes, rain certainly can be the catalyst for mold growth and might contribute to your kids' coughs. In dubai, we've seen many instances where heavy rainfall followed by warm temperatures have led to moisture issues inside homes, particularly in areas like your bedroom closet.

When it rains, water seeps into building materials and can remain trapped in places with poor ventilation. This creates an ideal environment for mold spores to flourish. Mold needs three things to grow - food (organic material), moisture, and time. The closet is a prime location because of the frequent opening of windows post-rain, which could introduce more moisture than it expels.

Regarding your concerns about your children's coughs, indoor air quality can indeed affect respiratory health. Mold spores are tiny and can be inhaled easily, especially by kids with developing immune systems. These spores can trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing asthma conditions leading to coughing and other symptoms.

In the UAE, there’s no specific regulation that directly addresses mold growth due to rain, but local building codes emphasize proper ventilation, waterproofing, and drainage systems to prevent such issues. However, if you suspect mold in your closet, it's prudent to take action rather than waiting for further deterioration.

If the smell persists or if more serious symptoms like wheezing or difficulty breathing develop, I recommend calling a professional inspection company. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments that can pinpoint sources of moisture and identify any mold growth. Our team is experienced in the UAE and can provide tailored solutions to ensure your home remains healthy.

Remember, early detection and remediation are key to preventing further health issues for you and your family. So don't hesitate to reach out if you're worried about what might be growing behind those closet doors or anywhere else in your home after that rainstorm.
