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 mold affecting my asthmatic partner?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of our master bedroom. The area under the window seems particularly affected, with some mold spots appearing over the past few weeks despite using a dehumidifier. My partner has been experiencing shortness of breath and occasional coughing, which worries me as we are both asthmatic. Could this be related to the cleaning issues in our home, or is it something else?

Absolutely, dampness and mold could definitely be contributing to your asthmatic partner's symptoms. Mold spores can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks in sensitive individuals, especially those with a history of respiratory issues.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for humidity levels to rise after rainfall events, potentially leading to conditions that favor mold growth. The persistent dampness you've noticed under your window could be creating an ideal environment for mold colonies to thrive.

Given the situation, I would highly recommend reaching out for a professional inspection. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Contact a Professional: It's crucial to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to arrange an inspection by a qualified environmental inspector. They will be able to assess the extent of mold growth and provide recommendations on how to address it.

2. Avoid Contact with Mold: Until professional help arrives, try to avoid direct contact with any visible mold spots. Wear gloves and goggles if you need to clean up small areas yourself.

3. Continue Using a Dehumidifier: While a dehumidifier is a good start, it might not be sufficient in all cases. Consider also using air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters to capture airborne mold spores.

4. Ventilation: Ensure that your home has adequate ventilation, especially in areas prone to dampness like the corner near the window. Opening windows and running exhaust fans can help reduce moisture levels.

5. Address the Source of Moisture: Investigate why there is persistent dampness under your window. It could be due to a small plumbing leak or inadequate drainage around your home’s foundation. Addressing this will prevent mold from returning.

6. Clean Up Properly: If you need to clean any mold spots, do so carefully. Use a solution of water and detergent or a specialized mold cleaner. Always wear protective clothing and ensure the area is well-ventilated during cleaning.

Remember, while these steps can help manage the situation temporarily, they may not fully resolve the issue without professional intervention. The health impacts on an asthmatic individual cannot be underestimated; swift action is essential to prevent further discomfort or potential exacerbation of respiratory issues.

Taking proactive measures now can save you from more serious problems down the line and ensure a healthier living environment for both of you.
