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 storm harmful to kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a strange mold growing on the ceiling of my son's bedroom. It’s only been a few days, but it looks pretty extensive. The kids have both been coughing more than usual lately, and now I’m worried it might be from this mold. How urgent is it to clean up and address this immediately?

Mold from storms can indeed be harmful to kids especially if they have respiratory issues. In the UAE, such as Dubai, we've seen an increase in mold growth after major dust events, and it's important to act quickly.

In your case, seeing a spread of mold on the ceiling within just a few days is concerning. Mold spores can release allergens into the air which may exacerbate coughing and respiratory issues, particularly for children. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for mold remediation but following proper safety guidelines is crucial to protect health.

Firstly, it's wise to call in professionals like those from Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and recommend the safest course of action based on local conditions. Do not attempt to clean the mold yourself unless you are sure it's a small, non-toxic variety.

If you decide to address the issue temporarily while awaiting professional help, wear protective gear like gloves, mask, and goggles before entering the affected area. Open windows for ventilation if possible but ensure no drafts disturb the spores. Use a solution of water and detergent or a specialized mold cleaner to gently scrub the area. Clean up thoroughly and dry completely.

In the meantime, keep your home’s humidity levels low by using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation. Regularly check for signs of moisture around windows, pipes, and other areas that might have been affected during the storm.

Remember, addressing this situation promptly can prevent health issues for your kids and ensure a healthier living environment in your home.
