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 kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of my living room, even though it hadn't rained there. The smell is musty, and when I checked behind some shelves, I found mold growing on the walls. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits more frequently since then. Could this be related to indoor air quality issues?

Yes, mold could be causing your kids' coughs. Mold spores can become airborne and once breathed in, they might irritate the respiratory system leading to symptoms like coughing fits, especially among children who are more susceptible due to their smaller airways.

In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly which makes areas prone to mold growth even when there's no direct rain. The persistent dampness you've noticed in your living room could be a breeding ground for mold, particularly if it has been left unchecked or unaddressed after last month’s rainfall.

It is highly recommended that you consult with professional indoor air quality experts for an inspection. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can provide comprehensive assessments and remediation services to ensure the safety of your home environment. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

To help manage the situation until you receive professional advice, here are a few practical tips:
1. Increase ventilation in affected areas to reduce humidity levels.
2. Use dehumidifiers if necessary to maintain indoor humidity below 60%.
3. Clean the area with a mixture of water and vinegar or baking soda to inhibit mold growth (always test for damage before applying any treatments).
4. Keep surfaces dry and clean to prevent further mold development.

Remember, addressing mold issues promptly is crucial not only for health but also to protect your home’s structural integrity. The sooner you take action, the better it will be for both your family's well-being and property maintenance in Dubai or the UAE.
