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 last month's rain harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a strange mold growing along the base of the walls near our children's room in the coastal apartment. The area gets quite humid even with the air conditioning on full blast. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately and I’m worried it might be from breathing in those spores. Has anyone else experienced similar issues and what can we do to clean up before it’s too late?

Is mold from last month's rain harmful to kids? A big concern for any parent. Yes, it can be quite harmful. Mold spores released into the air due to water damage can irritate respiratory systems and exacerbate allergies or asthma symptoms. In Dubai, we see a high humidity rate even in well-ventilated spaces, making mold growth more likely.

In coastal areas like Dubai where you've experienced rain, checking for signs of moisture and mold is crucial. Mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours if conditions are right—warm temperatures with plenty of moisture. The area near your children's room that you mentioned sounds particularly concerning given the recent heavy rainfall. High humidity levels in such spaces can indeed cause mold growth, especially when air conditioning isn't enough.

For your situation, I would recommend contacting a professional for an inspection. In the UAE, regulations require that any remediation work be carried out by certified professionals to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. Companies like Saniservice comply with all UAE standards and can provide a thorough assessment of the mold growth and develop a cleaning plan.

Meanwhile, you should start taking immediate steps to reduce moisture. Ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening windows (if weather permits) or using dehumidifiers. Avoid carpeting on floors prone to moisture; opt for tiles or hardwood instead. Keep surfaces clean and dry, and regularly check for any signs of water leakage.

If your kids have been coughing more since noticing this mold, it's wise to consult a doctor. Symptoms like frequent coughing can be linked to indoor air quality issues including mold exposure.

Remember, prevention is key—addressing the moisture issue before it leads to extensive mold growth will protect both you and your family’s health.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com if you need professional assistance. Don't delay in addressing this; the health of your children is paramount.
