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.

Is damp smell and mold growth affecting my children's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell in the bedroom where my children sleep. It's especially noticeable when the AC is on at night, and I can see some water droplets forming on the walls near their side of the room. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, which has me worried about indoor air quality. Could this be a sign of mold growth? What steps should I take to address it?

Absolutely, the damp smell and visible water droplets could definitely be indicative of mold growth. Mold thrives in humid environments like yours, particularly after a heavy storm. In Dubai, we see similar issues given our climate and frequent weather changes.

Mold can indeed affect your kids' health significantly. The coughing is a strong sign that they might be suffering from respiratory irritation or even asthma triggered by mold spores. In the UAE, there are no specific regulations against mold growth in residences but it's important to address this issue to ensure their wellbeing and maintain indoor air quality.

First thing you should do is to inspect for any visible signs of water damage and mold. Check behind wallpaper, near windows, and areas close to the AC unit. If you find anything suspicious or if the smell persists even after cleaning, I strongly recommend calling in a professional for an inspection. Saniservice is one such company that can help with this.

Saniservice, at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or by email hello@saniservice.com can provide you with a thorough assessment and the necessary remediation if mold growth is confirmed. They'll have the expertise to not only identify the source of moisture but also effectively treat it.

In the meantime, try to reduce humidity in the bedroom by using dehumidifiers. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when weather permits or installing exhaust fans. Regularly clean and dry any wet areas to prevent further growth. Also, check your AC system for any leaks or issues that might be causing this problem.

Taking action now can help protect both you and your children's health in the long run. Don't wait until it worsens, act quickly and seek professional help if needed.
