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 respiratory issues after rains?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange mold growing on the ceiling of our bedroom. It’s not too big, but it’s definitely there, and it’s been there for at least a couple of weeks now without anyone noticing. My partner and kids are both showing signs of respiratory issues which might be related to this. Has anyone else experienced similar problems in Dubai, or do you have any advice on what we should do?

Yes, mold can definitely cause respiratory issues after the heavy rains we've had. Mold growth often occurs due to excess moisture and is a common issue post-heavy rainfall. In Dubai, humidity levels might be higher during such periods, making conditions more favorable for mold proliferation.

In your situation, it sounds like you're dealing with a concerning scenario. Mold can produce allergens that trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues like coughing, wheezing, or asthma symptoms in some individuals. If you've noticed mold on the ceiling of your bedroom, especially if it's been there for weeks without being addressed, it’s important to take action.

Firstly, ensure proper ventilation in your home. Open windows if possible, use dehumidifiers and air purifiers to reduce moisture levels. However, these are temporary measures and may not solve the core issue of mold growth.

I would recommend getting a professional inspection done. In Dubai, regulations such as those outlined in the UAE Building Code emphasize maintaining indoor environmental quality and ensuring the absence of health hazards like mold. You can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. Their expertise will help identify the extent of the problem and suggest appropriate remediation steps.

In addition to professional inspection, consider these DIY tips:
• Clean the affected area with a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Scrub, then rinse thoroughly.
• Replace any damaged or wet materials like carpets, drywall, and insulation
• Seal any gaps where moisture can enter your home

Remember, while these steps may help manage mold growth in the short term, a comprehensive plan from professionals is crucial for long-term health and safety.

If you or anyone else in the household continues to experience respiratory issues post this incident, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and current symptoms.

Stay proactive about indoor air quality, especially after weather events that could lead to mold growth.
