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 growth linked to my son’s coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange mold growing behind the wall in my son's bedroom. It's concerning me because he’s been having persistent coughing fits lately, and I’m worried it could be related to this. Has anyone experienced similar issues or knows if there might be a connection between mold growth and respiratory problems?

Absolutely, mold growth can certainly be linked to respiratory issues like the persistent coughing your son is experiencing. Mold spores are airborne and can easily enter your son's lungs triggering allergic reactions or exacerbating existing conditions such as asthma.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where humidity levels can fluctuate greatly, it’s not uncommon to see mold growth after significant rainfall events. The moisture from the rain can seep into walls and other building materials providing an ideal environment for mold to grow unseen behind walls, especially in areas like bedrooms which are often less frequently ventilated.

Mold can be a serious concern when it comes to indoor air quality (IAQ) and health impacts. It's not just about what you see; sometimes the mold can be growing out of sight. The UAE regulations, such as those outlined in EN 15274:2018 for moisture in buildings, emphasize the importance of proper maintenance and inspection to prevent issues like this.

Given your situation, it would be prudent to schedule a professional inspection. A company like Saniservice can provide you with a thorough assessment of your home’s indoor environment, identifying any hidden mold growth and advising on remediation steps. Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Remember, addressing the mold issue promptly is crucial not only for your son's health but also for maintaining a healthy living environment. Keep an eye out for other signs of moisture damage such as peeling paint or damp patches on walls and ceilings. These can be early indicators of potential mold growth that needs to be addressed.

Take action now; don't let the issue worsen and impact your family’s well-being.
