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 symptoms in my home?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, especially when I open the window. The smell seems to come from inside the walls since it’s not present when the windows are closed tightly. My daughter has been experiencing intermittent coughing and runny nose, which she had before but is more frequent now. How urgent is this situation, and what steps should we take immediately?

Yes, the musty smell and your daughter's symptoms could very well be linked to mold growth in your home. Mold spores can thrive in damp conditions like those that may have developed after rain, leading to the smell you're experiencing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate dramatically, especially during monsoons or when there are sudden changes in weather.

The symptoms your daughter is having—intermittent coughing and runny nose—are common ones associated with mold exposure. These could be due to mold spores being released into the air from inside the walls where they're growing. The musty smell you notice especially when windows are open suggests that a mold colony might indeed be present.

Given the importance of indoor air quality, I would advise having your home inspected by professionals who specialize in mold detection and remediation. In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor environmental health; for instance, the Federal Law No. 32 of 2017 on the Protection of the Environment provides guidelines that all UAE residents must follow.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection right away. They can identify the source of the problem and recommend a course of action. Immediate remediation is crucial to prevent further health issues for you and your family, as prolonged exposure to mold can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other serious health concerns.

Taking steps now could save you from bigger headaches (and costs) later on. Don't wait until symptoms worsen or more damage occurs. Act promptly, and keep the windows closed tight if the smell is strong when they're open; this will help contain any airborne spores within your home while you address the issue.
