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 and mold affect my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, which now smells musty. When I opened it up, I saw some mold growing on the shelves and clothes were starting to show signs of mildew. It’s concerning because my kids have been coughing more lately and I suspect this might be related. What steps should I take to clean and prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely dampness and mold can affect your kids' health. In fact, these conditions are often linked to respiratory issues like coughing, sneezing, and even asthma attacks. Mold spores float through the air and when they land on wet surfaces, they begin to grow and produce toxins that can irritate your children's lungs.

In the UAE, particularly in places like Dubai where humidity levels can be quite high during certain seasons, it’s crucial to address any dampness promptly. The persistent dampness you've noticed might be a result of inadequate ventilation or water ingress from outside - something common after rain.

First off, i'd advise you to clean up the affected areas immediately. Start by thoroughly drying out your closet; use dehumidifiers if necessary. Scrub the shelves and any surfaces with a solution of water and detergent, then dry completely before putting anything back in storage. For clothes that can't be cleaned, consider washing them or discarding those heavily affected to prevent further spread.

In terms of preventing mold growth, ensure your closet is well-ventilated. You might want to use an exhaust fan if you don’t have one already and open windows when the weather permits. Also, check for any signs of water leakage from pipes or roofs; these can be major contributors to dampness in closets and other indoor areas.

If the mold problem seems severe, i'd recommend a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS) offer comprehensive mold inspections that follow local regulations. They will assess the extent of contamination, provide remediation solutions, and ensure your home remains safe for you and your family.

Remember to keep an eye on your children's health. If their symptoms persist or worsen despite cleaning efforts, consult a doctor who can help determine if mold is indeed the cause.

Lastly, regular maintenance and monitoring are key. Keeping humidity levels low through proper ventilation and dehumidification can go a long way in preventing future issues.
