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 from heavy rain?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the corner of my child’s room. When I checked closer, I saw some greenish patches on the wall near the floor, which I suspect could be mold. My kids have been coughing and sneezing more frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be because of this mold. Should I worry about the health impact on my family, and what’s the best way to clean this up safely?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the mold situation. Heavy rain can create an ideal environment for molds to thrive, especially in areas that may have had water intrusion issues such as your child's room. In the UAE and specifically Dubai, we've seen a rise in mold growth after similar weather events due to high humidity levels and poor ventilation.

The musty smell you're noticing is likely from spores released by these molds, which can indeed affect your family’s health. Mold exposure has been linked with respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, and other discomforts—symptoms that sound familiar in your case. Your kids' increased coughing and sneezing could be directly related to the mold.

First steps: It's crucial to address this as soon as possible for your family's well-being. Before you attempt any cleaning yourself, it’s recommended to get a professional inspection to assess the extent of the issue and ensure that no hidden damage is present. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable mold inspections following UAE regulations.

If the situation seems manageable, you can start with basic cleanup. Ensure you wear protective gear: gloves, mask (preferably N95), goggles, and a long-sleeved shirt to avoid skin contact. Clean affected areas using a solution of 1 cup bleach in 1 gallon of water or use specialized mold cleaning products available locally.

However, if the area is large, heavily impacted, or you notice signs of water damage beyond the visible mold (like peeling paint, bubbling wallpaper), it's best to seek professional help. Saniservice can handle everything from initial inspection and testing to full remediation, ensuring that all spores are removed safely.

Remember, in Dubai, there’s a specific regulation stating that any property with more than 10% mold coverage must be thoroughly cleaned or treated by certified professionals. So, if the affected area is significant, professional help will ensure compliance with local laws and protect your family's health.
