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 mold causing my family's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the corner of my bedroom closet. It’s been there for about two weeks now, even after I cleaned everything out and tried using dehumidifiers. The kids have also been complaining of having sore throats and runny noses since then. Is there anything specific I can do to prevent this from happening again?

Yes, mold might be causing your family's symptoms. The moist environment and the moldy smell you're experiencing could indicate a serious indoor air quality issue. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can often fluctuate due to our climate. After heavy rains, such as the ones we've experienced recently, it’s crucial to address any moisture issues promptly.

Mold spores can easily spread through your home and trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions like sore throats, runny noses, and other respiratory symptoms. This is especially concerning for children whose immune systems are still developing.

First things first, you should continue using dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture in your bedroom closet. Ensure that the closet has proper ventilation too. Open windows when weather permits to let fresh air circulate. Additionally, clean all surfaces with a mixture of water and detergent or a solution specifically designed to kill mold spores.

However, given the persistence of the issue despite your efforts, it’s highly recommended that you call in professionals for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide comprehensive mold testing and remediation services as per UAE standards (UAE-AS 2174:2016). They will assess the extent of the mold growth, ensure it's properly removed, and provide recommendations to prevent future occurrences.

Don't wait for the symptoms to worsen. Early intervention can save you a lot of trouble and ensure your family’s health isn’t compromised. If you need help, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to assist you in maintaining indoor air quality that is safe for everyone.

Remember, addressing mold issues quickly not only protects your family but also helps prevent structural damage to your home. Keep an eye out for any signs of moisture or mold and take action early.
