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 window mold affecting my child's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness forming around the base of our living room window. The area is usually dry but now there's a noticeable mold growth that’s been there for about two weeks despite my best efforts to clean it up. It’s not just an eyesore; I can feel it’s releasing some kind of musty smell into the air, and my little one has had a persistent cough since this started. Could this be causing issues or is it just cosmetic? What steps should we take to prevent this from happening again?

It sounds like the mold around your window could indeed be causing issues for both you and your child. Mold can release spores into the air which can cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and other health concerns especially for children. The persistent cough your little one is experiencing might be linked to their exposure to this mold.

In Dubai/UAE, indoor environments are subject to specific regulations that aim to ensure a healthy living environment. Given your situation, it's crucial to act promptly to address the mold problem before it worsens and potentially impacts your family’s health further.

Firstly, ensure you thoroughly clean the affected area using a solution of water and detergent followed by a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water). Be sure to wear gloves and a mask during this process. However, cleaning might not be enough if the mold has spread or is in an inaccessible area.

Given the severity and your child's symptoms, I strongly recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company like Saniservice. They can identify the extent of the contamination, including any hidden areas that you may have missed during your initial clean-up efforts. Their expertise will also help determine if there are underlying moisture issues within the building envelope that need to be addressed.

If you decide to go ahead with an inspection and remediation service, make sure they are certified and experienced in handling mold situations according to UAE standards. A professional can take necessary measures to eliminate the mold completely and provide guidance on preventing future occurrences.

Additionally, once the issue is resolved, it's wise to maintain a regular check for moisture levels around windows and other vulnerable areas of your home. This could involve using dehumidifiers in damp-prone rooms or ensuring proper ventilation during rainy seasons.

To contact Saniservice for professional help, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember, proactive measures are key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment, especially in a climate like Dubai's where humidity can be quite high.

Take care and I hope your family feels better soon!
