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 from storms causing mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dampness in our living room, especially near the windows. The area around the floor vents is particularly bad, and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits and runny noses since then. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after the rain, or could this be related to mold growth?

Absolutely, dampness from storms can indeed lead to mold growth. In dubai and the UAE, we often experience climatic conditions that can create ideal environments for molds to proliferate. After heavy rains or storms, it's not uncommon for homeowners to notice a rise in moisture levels which can lead to issues like the ones you're experiencing.

In your case, the dampness near windows and floor vents could be due to water infiltration from stormy weather. This is particularly concerning as you've noted symptoms such as coughing fits and runny noses among your children - these are common signs of exposure to mold spores which can trigger respiratory issues.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, like the UAE Federal Law No. 14 of 2008 on Building Construction and Regulation, which mandates that buildings must be constructed in a way that ensures good ventilation and prevents dampness. However, sometimes unforeseen conditions, such as those caused by recent storms, can bypass these measures.

Given your situation, it would be wise to consult with a professional for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspections which can help identify the extent of any potential issues in your home. Early detection is key to effective remediation and preventing further health problems.

If you decide to take this step, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our services. We are here to ensure your home remains a healthy and comfortable environment for you and your family.

Remember, keeping indoor spaces dry is crucial in preventing mold growth. Regular maintenance checks and ensuring proper ventilation can go a long way in maintaining good indoor environmental quality.
