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 musty smell from renovation triggering son's asthma?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent musty smell that’s gotten worse since we started using the new carpet. My son has been having more frequent asthma attacks than usual, especially when he plays there. Could this be related to something in the air or the materials used during the renovation?

Absolutely! The musty smell from your renovation could indeed be triggering your son's asthma. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity can play a significant role in fostering mold growth which often manifests as that musty odor you're experiencing. Mold spores are known allergens and can exacerbate asthma symptoms.

The materials used during renovations like carpets can harbor moisture and dust mites, contributing to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). In Dubai, it’s common for the IAQ to drop due to high humidity levels, making your home more susceptible to such issues. The UAE's Building Code and Environmental Regulations require attention to IAQ but ensure your renovation followed all guidelines.

For your situation, I would highly recommend a professional inspection by an environmental expert familiar with the local climate and regulations. They can assess air quality, identify sources of moisture, check for mold growth, and provide recommendations on remediation if necessary. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such cases. You can reach out to them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In the meantime, here are a few tips to improve IAQ in your home:
• Use an air purifier with HEPA filters to remove allergens and particles.
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when weather permits.
• Keep humidity levels low—use dehumidifiers if necessary.
• Regularly clean carpets and furniture to prevent dust mite build-up.

Remember, the key is to address the underlying issues causing your son's asthma attacks. A proactive approach can significantly reduce his discomfort and improve his overall health.
