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 roof vent causing my children's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom, which is directly below the roof vent. My children have also been complaining of coughing and runny noses, especially when they stay up late watching TV there. Could this be related to mold or dust from the ducts? What should I do about getting them cleaned?

Hello there! It sure sounds like the musty smell and your kids' symptoms could be linked to mold or dust from the ducts. In Dubai, especially after heavy rains, it's common for moisture to accumulate, which can lead to mold growth if not addressed promptly.

Firstly, I'd recommend you call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) at Saniservice or email hello@saniservice.com. They are experts in this area and can provide a professional inspection of your ducts to confirm the presence of mold or other issues. In Dubai, regulations require regular maintenance checks for HVAC systems, especially in residential properties, so it's crucial to get an expert assessment.

When moisture gets into the HVAC system through roof vents, it can breed mold spores which are then circulated throughout the house via the air conditioning and heating system. This could definitely be a factor in your children’s symptoms such as coughing and runny noses. The damp environment is ideal for mold growth, especially if there's any leakage or poor ventilation.

In the meantime, you might want to take some immediate steps:

1. Ensure good airflow by opening windows when weather permits.
2. Use dehumidifiers in affected areas like your bedroom to lower humidity levels which can help prevent further mold growth.
3. If it’s practical and safe, temporarily block off the roof vent or cover it with a waterproof material to stop moisture from entering.

Once you have confirmation that there is indeed an issue with mold or excessive dust, professional duct cleaning might be necessary. Saniservice specializes in this area and can thoroughly clean your HVAC system using specialized equipment to remove all contaminants effectively.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is key, particularly for children’s health in Dubai's climate conditions. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system will not only improve the air you breathe but also extend the life of your equipment.

Stay proactive about your home's environmental health and don’t hesitate to seek professional advice whenever you suspect issues like these.
