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 worry about mold affecting my son's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a peculiar musty smell lingering in my son’s nursery. The windowsill where his toys are stored has some mildew growth, and it's concerning me since he often plays there. Given that we've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, should I be worried about mold or allergens affecting his health?

Absolutely, it's understandable that you're concerned about mold affecting your son's health. The musty smell and mildew growth on the windowsill are indeed indicators of a potential mold issue. Mold can pose serious health risks, especially for children, as they may be more susceptible to allergens and irritants.

In Dubai, particularly in the UAE, we've seen various environmental challenges that could lead to such issues. The high humidity levels during certain seasons can create perfect conditions for mold growth. Since you’ve only noticed this now after 2 years of living there, it's possible that the issue might have developed due to recent climatic changes or perhaps even from a lack of proper ventilation and cleaning.

Firstly, ensure that you thoroughly clean the area where your son plays. Use a mixture of water and detergent to scrub away any visible mold. It's also important to dry the area quickly afterwards as moisture is key for mold growth. Make sure toys are stored in a spot free from dampness and ideally, keep them off the ground.

However, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection done especially if you notice widespread or persistent signs of mold. According to UAE regulations, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial. The Ministry of Community Development and Social Affairs (MoCD) emphasizes that all buildings should be inspected regularly for such issues.

For professional assistance, you could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. These companies specialize in environmental inspections and remediation services which can help identify the extent of the issue and provide solutions to ensure a healthier environment for your son.

Remember, keeping an eye on indoor air quality is essential, especially with children who are more vulnerable to health issues caused by mold exposure. Regular checks and prompt action when you notice any unusual smells or signs of dampness can prevent bigger problems down the line.
