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 attic causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the attic, even though it hasn't rained much since. The moisture seems to be causing some mold growth up there, which is concerning because my kids have been complaining of headaches and coughing recently. How can I prevent this from happening again and clean up safely without making things worse?

Yes, it's quite possible that the mold from your attic could be causing your kids' symptoms. Mold can produce allergens and irritants that may lead to various health issues like headaches, coughing, and other respiratory problems especially for children or individuals who are more sensitive.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, due to its hot climate and occasional heavy rains, it's not uncommon for attics to become damp and harbor mold growth. The persistent musty smell you're noticing is a telltale sign of this issue. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for attic inspections but it's advisable to get a professional inspection done especially if the problem seems serious or hasn't resolved after addressing apparent moisture issues.

To clean up safely without making things worse, start by ensuring proper ventilation and using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to remove mold spores. Wear protective clothing like gloves, mask, and goggles when handling contaminated materials. You can use a solution of water and bleach (following the appropriate dilution) on non-porous surfaces but be cautious as bleach is not recommended for porous materials.

However, given that you're noticing symptoms in your kids, it would be best to contact professionals right away. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and remediation plan. They can advise on the safest methods of cleaning and ensure that the area is properly treated to prevent future issues.

Remember, preventing mold growth in your attic involves addressing any sources of moisture like leaks from roofs or plumbing. Ensure good roof maintenance and proper drainage around your home. Regularly inspect your attic for signs of dampness or water intrusion.

Taking these steps can help you maintain a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
