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 living room harmful to family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a strange mold growing in the corner of my living room. It’s not just a small spot; it covers about a square foot of the wall near where the carpet meets the wall. The kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening, and I can’t shake the feeling that this might be related to what we’re seeing. How urgent is this issue, and should I be taking any immediate steps to address it?

Absolutely, mold in your living room can pose serious health risks to the family. Mold spores can trigger respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and asthma attacks. Given that you've noticed a significant patch of mold covering about a square foot near where carpet meets the wall, this is definitely something to take seriously.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity levels are high during certain times of the year, making conditions perfect for mold growth. The heavy rain last month could have introduced moisture into your home, providing an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Your kids' coughing fits every evening might indeed be linked to this issue.

The urgency here is high because exposure to mold can lead to a range of health problems especially in children and those with preexisting respiratory conditions. The UAE's building regulations do emphasize the importance of indoor air quality, but it’s crucial that you act quickly to mitigate any risks.

Immediate steps you should take include:
1. Wear protective gear like gloves and masks before handling mold to avoid direct contact.
2. Open windows if possible to increase airflow and dry out the area.
3. If the mold is extensive or persistent, consider calling in a professional service such as Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for expert assistance.

Regular maintenance like keeping humidity levels low with dehumidifiers, ensuring proper ventilation, and addressing any water leaks promptly can help prevent future mold growth. Always keep an eye on areas where moisture is more likely to accumulate—corners near carpets or walls, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Remember, a professional inspection from Saniservice can provide peace of mind and ensure that the issue is resolved effectively according to local standards. Don't delay addressing this; it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your family’s health.
