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 illness?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange mold growth on the ceiling of our master bedroom. It started as small spots but has grown significantly over the past week despite me trying to clean it up with bleach. My husband and I have been feeling increasingly unwell lately, with constant sneezing and runny noses. Is this likely related to the mold? What can we do to address it properly?

The mold growing in your master bedroom could indeed be linked to the discomfort and illness you're experiencing. Mold can produce allergens that irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, which might explain the sneezing and runny noses you've been having.

Given the UAE's climate conditions, especially after heavy rains, it’s not uncommon for mold issues to arise. In Dubai, where humidity levels can be high due to the weather patterns, such situations can create an environment conducive to mold growth on ceilings and other surfaces.

The mold issue in your home should definitely warrant a professional inspection. The UAE's building regulations require that properties maintain certain standards of indoor air quality which are enforced by authorities like the Dubai Health Authority and the Dubai Municipality. A certified expert will be able to assess if the mold is toxic or black mold, as some species can produce mycotoxins harmful for health.

To address this situation effectively:

1. Stop Mold Growth: First, you’ll need to stop moisture from entering your home. Ensure that any leaking pipes are fixed and that gutters around the house are clear of debris. Good ventilation is also crucial in reducing humidity levels.

2. Clean Carefully: While you've already tried cleaning with bleach, it’s important to use a proper mold cleaner. A mixture of 1 cup of detergent and 3 gallons of water can be used as an alternative if you want to avoid harsh chemicals. Always wear protective gear such as gloves and masks when cleaning.

3. Professional Inspection: Given the severity of your situation, I highly recommend calling in a professional inspection team. They will not only clean up but also address any underlying issues that could lead to recurring mold growth. In Dubai, you can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for reliable and experienced help.

4. Prevent Future Issues: Once the immediate problem is resolved, it’s important to take steps to prevent future occurrences. Regularly check your home for signs of water damage and ensure that you maintain proper humidity levels (ideally between 30% -60%) through dehumidifiers or air conditioning.

Remember, dealing with mold can be a complex issue requiring the expertise of professionals who understand the specific environmental conditions in Dubai. Your health is paramount, so don't hesitate to seek expert assistance promptly.
