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' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last week, I noticed some mold growing behind the curtains in our living room. The AC in my apartment seems to be circulating that musty smell everywhere. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be from this stuff. Have anyone else experienced similar issues during summer?

Absolutely, it's not uncommon to encounter mold issues during the scorching summer months here in Dubai. The intense heat and high humidity can provide a perfect environment for mold growth, particularly in areas like behind curtains where air flow is restricted. If your AC system isn't functioning at its best or if it hasn’t been serviced recently, it could be circulating spores throughout your living space.

Mold allergies are one of the leading causes of respiratory issues and coughing in children. The musty smell you're experiencing might indeed be due to mold within the AC unit. It’s not just about your curtains; it's possible that mold has spread throughout parts of your apartment.

It's wise to have a professional inspection done, especially if the situation seems severe or continues to worsen despite basic cleaning efforts. The UAE has strict building and environmental regulations, particularly in ensuring indoor air quality, which makes it crucial to address any issues promptly.

I would recommend reaching out to a certified company like Saniservice for an inspection. They can identify the source of mold and offer professional remediation services. Don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember, addressing this issue quickly not only ensures your family’s health but also prevents further damage to your property.

In the meantime, try to improve indoor air quality by using an air purifier and increasing ventilation when possible. Regularly cleaning your AC filters can help reduce mold growth in the system. However, for a comprehensive solution, professional intervention is key.

Stay cool and take care of your family's health!
