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 our coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the central air conditioning unit in my living room. It's really starting to bother me and my family, especially since we’ve been coughing more frequently. Could this be due to mold or dust build-up? What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Hello there! Mold spores can indeed be a major trigger for coughs and other respiratory issues. Given the recent rainfall here in Dubai, it's quite possible that moisture has caused some mold growth within your central air conditioning unit or ductwork.

In the UAE, especially during such weather changes, mold is more common due to the humidity levels. If you're experiencing persistent coughing along with a musty smell coming from your AC unit, there's a high chance it might be mold. Mold thrives in damp conditions and can produce spores that irritate the airways leading to coughs.

To properly address this issue, I'd recommend calling for professional inspection and remediation services like Saniservice. Our experts are well-versed with the UAE regulations on indoor environmental quality and can assess the situation thoroughly. In Dubai, it's important to keep your home’s humidity levels controlled – ideally, between 30% to 50%. Regular cleaning of your AC filters and ensuring good airflow can help prevent mold growth.

Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation. Our team will provide you with a detailed report on the extent of any mold problem and recommend appropriate remediation steps to ensure a healthier living environment.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly is crucial not just for your family's health but also to prevent further damage to your property. Mold can spread quickly through air conditioning systems, so don't delay in taking action.
