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 I ventilate parents' room safely with asthma concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I’ve noticed an odd, musty odor lingering in my parents' room on the second floor. It’s really concerning because they have asthma and it could exacerbate their condition. The window in their room is sealed shut due to the rain damage from last month, which might be trapping dust and mold inside. What steps should I take to clean and air out their room safely without risking their health?

Absolutely, ventilating your parents' room is crucial to address the musty odor and ensure their comfort and health. Given the asthma concerns, it's imperative to act carefully.

First off, open any windows or doors that can be safely opened without drafts. This will help circulate fresh air and reduce humidity levels which are perfect conditions for mold growth. However, with the sealed window due to rain damage, this might not be an option in your case right now.

To handle this situation effectively, start by scheduling a professional inspection from a local company like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com). They can assess the room for any mold growth and advise on necessary steps to clean and remediate the space. According to UAE regulations, it's important to ensure that all work done is compliant with local environmental laws.

In the meantime, use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum cleaner to remove dust from carpets and furniture. Be gentle to avoid stirring up allergens. Also, wipe down surfaces with a solution of water and mild detergent, focusing on areas where mold might have grown. Don't forget to wear gloves and possibly a mask for your own protection.

To improve air quality in the room, consider using an air purifier that can filter out allergens and odors. Some models even come equipped with activated carbon filters which are particularly effective against musty smells.

Ventilation is key, so if possible, try using exhaust fans to increase airflow during daylight hours when outdoor air quality permits. Avoid opening windows at night or on days with poor weather conditions as this could bring in more dust and pollutants.

Lastly, keep the humidity level low by using a dehumidifier (aim for around 50% relative humidity). High humidity can promote mold growth which is not good news for your parents' asthma condition. Regularly check the levels and clean the dehumidifier to prevent it from becoming a source of mold.

By taking these steps, you'll help create a safer environment for your parents while addressing the immediate concerns in their room. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance if needed.
