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.

Should dampness after rain harm my kids?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a couple of months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the kids’ room. It’s most noticeable after it rains outside, but even on dry days, there seems to be an unusual dampness in that area. The kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses, which makes me worry about their health, especially since they’re spending so much time in there. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with indoor air quality after a rainstorm?

Yes, dampness after rain can potentially harm your kids and their health. The musty smell you're noticing could be due to mold growth which is common in humid environments like post-rain conditions especially in areas such as the UAE where we experience sudden shifts from dry to wet weather.

In Dubai, similar issues have been reported by many families who moved into new apartments or renovated homes. The high humidity can cause condensation and dampness, leading to increased moisture levels which favor mold growth. Mold spores are known to trigger allergies, respiratory problems, and exacerbate asthma symptoms—issues your kids seem to be experiencing.

The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, especially in residential buildings. According to the Building Code of Dubai (BCE) 2016, it's essential that buildings maintain proper ventilation systems to prevent moisture accumulation which can lead to mold growth and other health concerns. It is crucial for your apartment complex or building management to ensure they are following these guidelines.

Given the symptoms your kids are showing, I would recommend having a professional inspection done as soon as possible. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment of your home's air quality and mold levels. Early detection can help prevent further health issues and ensure that your family stays healthy.

In the meantime, you might want to take some basic steps to reduce dampness and improve indoor air quality:

1. Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner in the kids' room to lower moisture levels.
2. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when it's not raining and running exhaust fans during showers or cooking.
3. Keep the area as dry as possible; avoid leaving wet clothes, towels, or plants where mold can grow.
4. Clean surfaces regularly with a mild detergent solution to prevent mold spores from settling.

Remember, addressing these issues early on is key to maintaining healthy indoor air quality and ensuring your kids' well-being in their new home.
