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 in children's room harmful?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the children's room, especially when they play with their toys on the floor. The windowsill where my son usually dries his swimming goggles has some mold growing, and it’s concerning me because of how much time he spends in there playing games. Should I be worried about this affecting their health?

Yes, mold in the children's room can be quite harmful. Not only does it emit a musty smell which could affect your child’s sense of smell and even lead to headaches, but also can cause respiratory issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can be high, especially during rainy seasons like last month. This environment is perfect for mold growth.

In the children's room where you noticed mold on the windowsill, it could pose a risk not only from moisture but also from potential allergens and mycotoxins that molds produce. These microscopic particles can irritate your child’s airways leading to coughing, sneezing or even asthma attacks. For young ones spending considerable time in this room playing games or reading books, the exposure could be significant.

Regarding regulations, the UAE has specific guidelines for indoor environmental quality which are set by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). They recommend regular checks to ensure that moisture levels do not exceed 60% as it can lead to mold growth. In Dubai, you should be aware that buildings are expected to maintain proper ventilation and drainage systems to prevent such issues.

Given how serious the situation seems, I would highly recommend a professional inspection. This will help identify not just the current extent of mold but also any underlying moisture issues that need addressing. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer this service along with remediation if needed. Their team is experienced and equipped to deal with such scenarios efficiently.

To take immediate action, you should start by cleaning the affected areas thoroughly using a solution of water and bleach or a commercial mold cleaner. Ensure good ventilation while doing so. However, for persistent issues like those on your windowsill, it’s best to get in touch with professionals who can provide a comprehensive plan including repair works.

Remember, staying proactive about indoor air quality is crucial for the health of your children. Should you have further concerns or need assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can guide you through the next steps and help ensure a safer living environment for your family.

Taking this seriously is important, especially in our climate where humidity levels can be quite high. Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice if needed!
