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 closet affecting kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the corner of our bedroom closet. When I checked closer, I found some mold growing on the back wall near where water tends to collect. The kids have been coughing a lot lately and their allergies seem worse than usual. Could this be related to the mold?

Yes, it is quite possible that the mold found in your bedroom closet could be affecting your kids. Mold can release spores into the air which may trigger allergies and respiratory issues especially in children who are more susceptible to such irritants.

In the UAE, including Dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi has guidelines for maintaining healthy indoor environments, which include addressing mold issues promptly. Given that you've noticed dampness due to heavy rains and have observed your kids' coughing and allergy symptoms worsening, it would be wise to get a professional inspection.

The moisture from the rain could have facilitated the growth of mold in your closet corner. Mold not only can cause allergic reactions but also poses health risks such as respiratory infections and asthma attacks. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their smaller airways and developing immune systems.

To tackle this issue effectively, I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They can provide you with a comprehensive inspection to determine the extent of mold growth and suggest appropriate remediation measures. Remember that addressing indoor moisture issues early is crucial in preventing further spread of mold.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you could take:

1. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows if weather permits.
2. Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to reduce humidity levels.
3. Keep an eye on any new damp spots and address them promptly.
4. Encourage children to keep their hands clean and avoid touching the moldy area.

Taking these steps will help in managing the situation while awaiting professional assistance. Remember, prevention is key when it comes to indoor air quality issues like this.
