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 vent causing my partner's cough?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a strange mold growth on the ceiling of my bedroom. The area is near the air vent, which seems to be leaking a bit. My partner has been experiencing a persistent cough since we first saw the mold, and I’m worried it could be causing more health issues. Is there anything I should do immediately or are there specific steps I need to take to address this?

Yes, the mold growing near your air vent could be causing your partners persistent cough. Mold spores can easily travel through ventilation systems and settle inside your home, especially if you have a leaking vent or poor ventilation system. In Dubai/UAE, similar to other regions, exposure to high levels of mold can lead to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and more severe health complications in some cases.

Firstly, it's crucial to take immediate action. You should call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. Our team can identify the source of the mold and recommend appropriate remediation steps tailored specifically to your home.

In the meantime, ensure that you and your partner limit exposure to the affected area. Keep windows closed if possible, and avoid using air conditioners or fans which might spread the mold spores around your home. You may want to wear a mask when entering the room with visible mold as an additional precaution against inhaling mold spores.

Remember, in UAE, it's not only about immediate health risks but also about compliance with building regulations that require properties to be free from dampness and mold growth for occupant safety. Failure to address such issues can lead to structural damage over time or even result in legal implications if the property is being rented out.

Do not attempt to clean up large areas of mold yourself as improper handling can release more spores into the air. Instead, let us provide a safe and efficient solution that includes proper containment procedures, removal of affected materials, and application of appropriate remediation techniques to prevent future growth.

Stay healthy and we'll be happy to assist you further.
