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 dampness and coughing linked to mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the corner of my bedroom where the carpet meets the wall. My son has had persistent coughing fits especially at night, and it seems to correlate with the time we spend there. Could this be related to mold or humidity issues? What steps should I take to clean and prevent asthma triggers in that area?

Yes, dampness and coughing could indeed be linked to mold. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience humidity issues especially after rainfalls. Mold thrives in moist environments and can produce spores that are airborne and trigger asthma symptoms or exacerbate existing ones, causing persistent coughing fits.

In your case, it sounds like a potential mold issue could be developing at the corner of your bedroom where the carpet meets the wall. This area is a common spot for moisture to accumulate as it's often hard to access and poorly ventilated. The dampness you noticed might indicate water intrusion or condensation, which are perfect conditions for mold growth.

To address this situation promptly, here’s what you should consider:

Firstly, inspect the area thoroughly. Look for signs of visible mold, musty odors, or any discoloration on walls, carpet, or other surfaces. If you suspect mold but can't see it clearly, use a moisture meter to check for dampness.

Secondly, take immediate action by cleaning the affected area. Use a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) to clean the walls and carpets where necessary. For carpets, remove them if possible and allow ample time for drying in a well-ventilated space or replace them if they cannot be salvaged.

Thirdly, ensure good air circulation in your home. Use exhaust fans when showering or cooking, and open windows on non-humid days to promote airflow. Consider investing in dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels, especially during rainy seasons.

Lastly, maintain a clean environment by regularly vacuuming carpets and dusting surfaces. For persistent issues, it's advisable to seek professional help from companies like Saniservice who can conduct thorough inspections and remediate any identified mold growth.

Remember, in Dubai/UAE, adherence to local building codes is crucial. If the issue persists or spreads, consider consulting a professional to ensure compliance with UAE’s environmental regulations.
