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 from AC causing my kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had a few weeks ago, I noticed mold growing in the corners of the children's bedroom. The AC unit also seems to be leaking some moisture, creating damp spots on the ceiling. This is really concerning since my kids have been showing signs of allergies and coughing more lately. Could this be related to the cleaning issues we’re having? What steps should I take to address these problems before they get worse?

Absolutely, the mold from your AC system could very well be contributing to your kids' allergies. In the UAE, especially during summer and post-rain periods like you've experienced, it’s quite common for humidity levels to rise and create an environment conducive to mold growth. The AC unit leaking moisture can indeed lead to damp spots on ceilings which are prime locations for mold to flourish.

Firstly, I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can assess the extent of the mold growth and provide guidance on how to safely clean and prevent future issues in line with UAE regulations. According to the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD), it is crucial that any remediation work follows strict guidelines to ensure it doesn’t exacerbate indoor air quality.

In the meantime, here are some steps you can take:

1. Check and Clean the AC Unit: Ensure your AC system is clean and well-maintained. Replace or wash filters regularly, and consider having a professional inspect ductwork for any blockages or moisture issues.
2. Ventilation: Increase ventilation in the bedroom to reduce humidity levels. Use fans or open windows when possible, but be mindful of external pollutants like dust.
3. Dry Damp Spots Promptly: If you notice damp spots on the ceiling, clean them with a solution of water and bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) and ensure they are completely dry before painting.
4. Humidity Control: Consider using dehumidifiers in high-risk areas like the children’s bedroom to keep humidity levels below 60%.
5. Dust Regularly: Dusting frequently can help reduce allergens. Use microfiber cloths which trap more dust than conventional ones.

Remember, the health of your family should be top priority. If symptoms persist after taking these steps, consulting a healthcare professional is advised to rule out other potential causes and ensure appropriate treatment.

By addressing this issue proactively, you can significantly improve the indoor environment for your children, potentially alleviating their allergy symptoms.
