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 making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rainfall last month, I noticed a musty smell emanating from the corner of the living room where the carpet meets the wall. It’s starting to spread, and now there seems to be some discoloration too. My kids have been coughing more frequently, and I’m worried it might be related to this issue. How urgent is it to address this cleaning infection problem before it gets worse?

Yes, mold can indeed be making your kids sick. The symptoms you're describing such as coughing and other respiratory issues are common in cases of exposure to high levels of mold spores. Mold produces allergens that can cause allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash for those who are sensitive.

In Dubai and the UAE, it’s quite typical to have these types of issues post-heavy rainfall due to the humid climate. The corner where your carpet meets the wall sounds suspicious as mold often thrives in such areas that may not get adequate ventilation or drying. The musty smell you're noticing is a strong indicator of possible mold growth.

Given the severity and the potential health risks, it's important to act quickly. I'd recommend getting in touch with professionals like Saniservice who can provide a thorough inspection and remediation if necessary. They have experience dealing with these kinds of issues here in Dubai and across the UAE.

While you wait for an expert assessment, take some immediate steps:
1. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows or using dehumidifiers to reduce moisture.
2. Clean the area with a solution of water and detergent, then dry thoroughly.
3. If the mold is extensive, consider hiring a professional cleaner who can use specialized equipment.

Remember, in the UAE, there are no specific local regulations for mold remediation but it’s always best practice to follow safety guidelines and seek expert advice.

If you decide not to go through with an inspection, monitor your kids' health closely. If their symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor who can provide medical care and advice on dealing with mold exposure.

Don't delay in addressing this issue as prevention is key to avoiding more serious health problems down the line. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.

Take care of your family's health and home environment by tackling this matter head-on!
